Most players will do anything for enough money imo. No more mercenaries we’ve been there they won’t have any desire to fight for wins and be on the injury table faster than Abdul, complete false economy.

Which is fine - I fully accept that But this is a manager who's come in, played six games, got hardly any shots on the opponents goal, collected red and yellow cards, got ZERO wins and made things even worse than the manager was doing who got sacked before he came I find it disgusting to then say 'yeah but I can't do owt with this lot - I want a new squad in January' etc No chance If he was maintaining the results and form that Monk was getting then yeah I'd find that totally acceptable But to come in, for our form to collapse, and for us not to win a single game in six and then tell us he can't do what Monk was doing without new players makes me sick to my stomach 5 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't man manage them or set them up to win. I need a whole new squad buying for me' ffs It's abundantly clear that we need 4 or 5 starters adding to the team. The current squad would do well to be mid table in league one. Tone is simply telling the truth. We're utter cack and he knows it, I know it and I suspect that you know it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Therealrealist Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 2 minutes ago, Jim said: Whether he will try something different before January to see if we can pick up points remains to be seen? Paterson did a good Pelupessy impression tonight. I didn’t know he was on the pitch until he was substituted. He needs to give Penney a run out. He might offer us more going forward than any of the left back options he’s picked so far. I would encourage Iorfa to push us the pitch when in possession as much as possible and I would have Bannan at the top end of the pitch. Does he give Rhodes one last shot? That chance he had late on, you just knew he wouldn’t score but he hit the target and if Bannan can thread through balls to him high up the pitch then who knows? Interesting team selection coming up on Saturday. The team selection won’t be that interesting...they are all crap..that startin 11 tonight was about the strongest 11 we’ve got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Brown has had a long trial at about 49 clubs, and none have tried to keep him. Katchunga has got a great name. After that I’m struggling. Rhodes? Don’t get me started. The squad is an overpaid, unbalanced mess. I’d have taken Harris off and gone two up with Windass and Rhodes. For the last 5 to 10 mins I’d have stuck Iorfa up there too and gone 3-4-3. We were losing 0-2 against an ordinary team and we are desperate for the points. TP stuck with the same tactics all night and seemed content with a two-nil defeat. I can’t think of a manager who wouldn’t have tried to go for it in the last 10-15 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so obviously the safe pair of hands we needed...but he wasn't, sadly. Apart from the 25 years or so difference in managerial experience!

This goes way back and you can’t blame a bloke who’s been here 5 minutes. He’s been left a sack of poo that started filling up the day Jos was appointed. It’s going to take years to unwind, and anyone with half a brain can see that. Hallelujah. Said that the other week and got castigated on here. Well said pal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 1 minute ago, @owlstalk said: he's got a squad full of players who are pretty much all out of contract this coming summer mate so not sure that would be the best way of man managing them Whatever league we're in, and it's certainly looks like league 1, we need a new philosophy; culture and players. I genuinely wouldn't care less if they all left - I have no affinity to any of them; just numbness watching them wander around aimlessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was turning out ok for Monk who had a way better defensive, offensive and points record than Pulis is delivering Pulis has come in and done WORSE Think about that for a second Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 18 minutes ago, WalthamOwl said: I hate the way that In every game since Pulis arrived we just let the opposition have so much of the ball. It is so negative. The average possession statistics so far under Pulis (a couple of early red cards to consider) is just 32% for us !! In goal attempts it's a disparity of 33 against 79 !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkowl.74 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We pay the price now for poor signings last summer. It’s like they tried there nuts off for last five games then just gave in tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 24 minutes ago, vulva said: That’s an easy one to explain. The attacking players that started the game are light years better than the ones on the bench. He clearly doesn’t rate Katchunga or Rhodes, and do you know what, he’s right. Fair point. But at 2-0 down at half-time what is the point in bringing Joey on? Might as well give it a go with Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcebSWFC11 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 6 minutes ago, Animis said: You're right - like when we signed Deon Burton & Tudgey on 1st January 15 years ago - we ere floundering then near the bottom and they put a shift in and we stayed. Something similar is required, not some Chelsea youngster on loan @ 23:50 on 31st January. I’m imagining a repeat of the Burton Tudgay half a season. Need to find 2 strikers who will be aiming to get 10 each & play every game together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
