Ridgeback owl Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Definitely got to start with the chairman but I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon. Managers come and go quicker than chairman ( for obvious reasons) , we can go round in circles with this one but I honestly think we are going backwards with this manager..... He's out of his depth big time IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 We are in the same position when DC took over before Gray left. Lower mid table and no money to spend and shocking football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea of your age, nor of the football you've witnessed, ( very little, by the looks of things ) but our tactics allowed us to be under the cosh. The embarrassment, was in our tactics. We held on to a nil nil.... because that's what Jos ordered, in his style of play. ZERO attacking intent. one point in fifteen, and you're happy As I type, we are 17th 4 points from relegation. And you're happy ? Edited November 10, 2018 by quinnssweetshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm just relieved we didn't get spanked When I saw the lineup and the intensity of the 1st 20 minutes I worried But we ground out a point which was a decent result If we won I would have been delighted like any time we beat them. Take last nights result for what it is Doesn't mean you have to change your opinions on Jos and the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 there is no pleasing some people. Perhaps you would have been happier if we had lost 4-0?. We are not the big club you seem to think we are. We deserved that point last night, not through pretty, tippy tappy football but through true grit and professionalism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Madden Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The title is a misnomer from my point of view Take away that the team we were playing were called Sheffield United and just say the over the course of 90 minutes plus the opposition played really really well and we defended like demons because we had no other choice and i'm happy that in those particular circumstances we were resolute enough to gain an away point . They are better than us but didn't beat us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're happy ? Nobody is happy with one point out of five games, that should be blatantly obvious. But I was happy enough a few weeks ago when we were sixth in the league after a nightmare run of fixtures. The Championship this season is such that practically every team will have a period when the wheels fall off. Norwich have just had a run of five wins that has pinned them at the top after a very mediocre start. Expect the same for the rest of the season. The Championship is always a volatile league but this season, I have a feeling that it will be more so than usual. We have a few very winnable games coming up. We should review the situation after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I didn’t watch the game until today. To be fair I think we battled well against a good side. They made us look very average, but then again, we are very average under JL as he’s hampered himself by leaving half his tools in the garage. Anyhow, after the euphoria of not receiving a thumping defeat on national TV, I have to remind people that we’ve picked up just 1 point out of 15. He should be packing his bags.

trevdi9 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 what's so wrong with wanting the team to do better than they are doing when we have players that can do better and have proved it ,not much to ask is it when fans are paying a good lump of their wages every week to see turgid football cause the team can't be arsed, or the manager isn't doing his job ,whatever the cause it needs sorting or we will end up being irvinesque and dare not pick a team without fear of losing no matter who we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never received so many texts from non Wednesday supportimg mates as during that match ‘how do you cope watching that shower every week’ etc etc I usually squirm at your ‘harsh’ comments, but for once I agree, we are dire and raw opinions like yours need to be be taken very seriously by the club. We have all seen how bad things can get if we accept that things are just the way they are, we nearly went out of business at one time. It is time for the club and us to stop been so sensitive and to really sort this out, because despite commending some of the lads git last night to get a draw, the actual football was possibly the worst I have ever seen us play. It really is time for us to pick ourselves up from the nearly, accept the criticism when relevant (as a whole, not on individuals so much). And get back on track, we need expectations, desire and something to be proud of again. This ‘transition period’ could go either way and people need to really consider that, just because we are attempting to build, doesn’t mean it will go the right way if the chain of command at the club don’t seriously ask the right questions of themselves.

I say consistency because the personnel at our disposal have shown they can play better than they did last night. I think we should as you say consider the situation, take it seriously and face up to it and begin to put things right properly, which includes the management of the club facing reality and reacting, rather than cowering in the corner, which again shows how our situation has manifested into the performance, because thats pretty much what we did last night.

Absolutely spot on, we are sleep walking into the abyss, with many celebrating a 0 - 0 draw, head in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
