Unfortunately lads when you can’t be arsed to put the effort in and have the right mental attitude then you won’t achieve anything. I know they might argue it’s a one off but title winning teams don’t do that. They don’t go to mid table teams and get spanked 3-0 with little effort/fight. And in saying effort/fight i don’t mean the type like Hutchinson who gets a yellow but smashing someone 5 seconds after the whistle has gone because he’s lost his head. That’s pashun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I’ve been realistic from the start so I’m not surprised in the slightest We are still in a much better position now without last seasons wasters on the payroll Even though we’re a league lower we’re in better shape this season for sure Still having nightmares about Reach, Brown etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When athletes get too comfortable and start functioning on autopilot or in ‘La La Land,’ it puts them at risk of making more mind-not-on-task performance errors. We also see an increase in injuries due to complacency, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Miffed Posted September 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2021 For me it’s the fans who have built up the hype and got carried away, not the players. It feels like we signed a new team and all of a sudden people started losing their heads thinking we were going to walk the league. Expectations have completely overtaken reality and now we’ve had a couple of bad results it’s upset a few. Maybe it’s the fans who need the reality check and not the players. Mid table would still be a good season as far as I’m concerned. 7 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With several bumps in the road, we can and should get promoted this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With several bumps in the road, we can and should get promoted this year. Possibly, but I’m just basing it on the last couple of seasons. There was a real threat at the end of last season that we could drop straight through this division and possibly into oblivion. Anything other than a relegation battle would be a positive season as far as I’m concerned. The rebuild is going to take time, the complete playing squad from top to bottom was a mess. At least Moore and his team appear to be addressing some of the issues, and not just with the first team. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being realistic it was always going to take a few months to get things to gel. Maybe if we had a slower start and then started getting results the bed wetting wouldn’t have been too bad.

Truth is out there Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Aye whether the ‘hype’ pertains to both HMSPTL or Armageddon / the Rapture is nigh. Why not just accept a recently relegated football club is struggling (at best) financially in the 3rd tier with a squad consisting of other clubs discards ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Talk about reading too much into a few training videos. It’s standard social media, every club does it I think Moore’s doing everything he can, it’s up to the players to implement it. If they are weak with their first touches, can’t find space etc, that’s on them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy W Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Daavies; said: If we go out with the same attitude as we did yesterday for the rest of the season, we'll do well to finish mid table. 3-0 to Plymouth actually flatters us. They battered us from the first minute until the last. Don't want to single any players out but don't think any of the team would get more than a 3/10. You've got to earn the right to play football with hard work and stability. I'm not sure all these 3/4 changes a week are helping us, we looked like a team who had never played with each other before yesterday. We need to bounce back with a performance against Shrewsbury. You know what I'm not entirely convinced the attitude was wrong, I can't read their minds. What I think is that attitude correct or not, these players are not anywhere near as talented as the think they are...you are in L1 for a reason guys. They lost yesterday because they were not good enough, and Plymouth were a far better side. Each time they attacked I expected them to score or at least have a good attempt, when we attacked I expected it to fizzle to nothing, which it did. So, we are simply not the team and are not as talented as some (and they) think. If anyone saw yesterday's game thinking they were seeing a top 6 side, then that may be true but they played in green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans we've been sh@t on as bad as the fans of the some of the worse run clubs. Give us a glimmer of hope then kick us back down again. I stay out of these arguments cos a lot of the fans are flouncing nearly as good as a Morrissey rant. But then again I was counting my blessings that I didn't have to travel back from the other side of the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him he hasn't done it much for quite a while. He's much steadier as a defender. That 'tackle' was a shocker though, if it had connected it would have been a straight red and deservedly so. Good teams are the ones who can grind out results when they have an off day and find a way to win most times. We haven't been like that for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him on course for a 9 until he missed that straight forward header, so I’d give him a 7/8. I was sat in with Argyle fans who were all saying that he was brilliant but had little support. And they were right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
