Well the lot of them judging on yesterday's performance and application, must be great to put on the blue and white shirt tradition and all the talk of a big club but surely you have to earn the right, or even worse something is not motivating these players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scilly owl Posted September 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2021 Most excellent post dude…. I’ve been lying awake most of the night thinking exactly the same thing but haven’t had the time , eloquence or will to post it . As it happens I’m still on the last leg of my return journey to the islands… a three hour boat trip so I have plenty more stewing time at my disposal. The crew , who I know very well, are already making their thoughts clear. The bloke in the coffee shop shouted “ green army “ at me when I approached the counter and the purser said “ Long trip for you Tel, shame that your team didn’t turn up as well “ I’ve got three hours of this with nowhere to go. Thanks you big time Charlie’s. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the 'we learnt a lot from that game' comment from management. Even morecombe let in 4 at home yesterday and we couldn't even get one past them! Surely better to learn from mistakes. As a supporter, you'd want to see continuing development through running the game film, surely. Im not right sure of an alternative, it's professional sport. Folks are really disappointed, obviously, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepcar_lights Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 You can break OT down into two categories, at varying points depending on what's happening. Optimism vs Pessimism. Boy do we go south quick on here when we don't win. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Excellent OP. The performances this season are starting to become a worry now. Apart from 20 minutes against Fleetwood I don’t think we’ve played particularly well. I’m fully appreciative that a new group of players need time to gel but the performances aren’t improving they are getting worse which is the concern for me. When Moore was appointed we were warned about his management style by donny fans, which we can dismiss as sour grapes but when you get performances like yesterday it’s an unfortunate coincidence at this moment in time. It’s starting to feel a bit Chris Turner at the moment, good recruitment but poor performances, but let’s hope everyone regroups next week and we start to see shoots of life next weekend.

At least you gave him a fair shot though mate *checks date* *checks how many new players have come in* *checks league table and see's we're just a few points off top spot* 1 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Great post OP. What properly gets my goat is a few of the players coming out and saying we aren't here to make up the numbers, we're aiming for top spot. Then come out, after two weeks off and all the soundbites and lay yesterday's egg. Are they serious about wanting to go up? Because if they are they need to, as a minimum, give 100% for 90+ mins. If we fall short after that then fair enough. Coming out and acting all billy big plums and saying we aren't just making up the numbers, then getting out fought like yesterday makes us look stupid, gets the fan's backs up and is embarrassing. I know Moore has to protect the players somewhat, but I'd be absolutely livid if I had to come out and apologise publicly. I hope he lays down the law and makes it very clear that performances like that are not acceptable, and some/all of them should expect to be dropped next game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkowl.74 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Them deep rooted problems we’ve had don’t go away overnight and although it all sounds bright and happy with lots of photos of smiles in training it’s evident we are not out the woods regardless of how many managers you throw at it. I hope to be wrong on this cos it’s negative but that yesterday was dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Fans have been far too euphoric just because we have signed a few. I said at the start this league is not easy and anyone who thinks it is need to wake up. We have to have the physicality in order to cope in this league, yesterday we looked extremely frail. Unless we get the physical and mental strength of this team sorted, technical ability alone will not suffice. Yesterday was a warning, we will find out soon have we signed another load of bottlers!? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
