Agreed But thankfully this is an opportunity to put it right 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ante's Bubbly Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I am surprised that our start has been as good as it has, to be honest. The number of key players that have come in and played and played well has been incredible really. We were not sure what had happened against Morecambe. It was all fur coat and no knickers, as my nan used to say. We looked fine and fancy all over the pitch until we got close to the goal. We could have done with bouncing straight back after that, but instead we had to miss a game. We just looked like 11 individuals against Plymouth with very few of them looking like anything other than sub par. Corbeanu looked like he might have an impact, but fluffed his chance with a stupid chest down for their defender. This squad has been put together and all the friendlies helped bed a few players in, but building the team takes a lot longer. I always hoped that by October time we would be showing our true pedigree and I still think we will be challenging at the top of the table come May, so I think the Moore knockers should hang their heads in shame. Without him we would be on or close to zero points right now with most new players coming in the last week (most in the last day) of the transfer window, and probably with an average age of 29. I think this is probably the biggest turning point that the club has made since Dave Richards starting massively over paying our older players back in the prem instead of continuing the scouting of top quality young players that got us there in the first place.

Southie_Owl Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Morecombe was a good performance and a bad result Plymouth was a poor performance and a bad result Thing is that you’re allowed to lose two away games when going for a league title, but losing at home to Shrewsbury? Not so much. Let’s hope it’s an improved performance and result tomorrow. UTO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanging on every word. I love Mr Moore's approach to football and see him as the antidote to all the poison that has filled the club over the years since our decline in the prem. I also think the new guy (forgotten his name) that joined to wipe up all the media mess and really engage with the fans, has had a positive impact too. Onwards and upwards now I reckon and about time too. There will always be games that we lose and bad performances, but I reckon the overall trend is now upwards and I like it. Really looking forward to tomorrow's game now. UTO! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point, most are behind him and the team at the moment, it won't last if last week becomes the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a contradiction to be very critical of a team if they perform like they did last week and yet still be supportive of the manager. I fit into this category. You would think Shrewsbury are the ideal team to play ATM but I remember last season people thought that when we had a nice run of fixtures against Rotherham, Luton and Wycombe and we know how that turned out. Fingers crossed, we need the win. UTO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Owls hunt and eat Shrews. Our pent up anger and desire for opportunities will surely put Shrews on the endangered list. This match has the hallmarks of a wildlife crime where even the Faroe Islanders look on in horror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Will be interesting to see what reaction there is from last week. A good performance with a few goals will be just fine but I can see a low scoring draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbyStyle Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 “Compete, perform” DM’s words.

WalthamOwl Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Really need the 3 points tomorrow. Losing 3 in a row to Morecambe, Plymouth and Shrewsbury would be very poor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take capitulation and lack of motivation. I hope last weeks performance was a kick up the backside for the lot of them and we can put that behind us now. It soon turns toxic if not. Didn’t see capitulation or a lack of motivation at Plymouth. Every time we lose doesn’t mean we don’t try. Last week the selection was wrong. We had 3 ball playing midfielders against 4 and sometimes 5 opposites who had more pace and power. We didn’t / couldn’t make the tactical changes necessary. Moore was out thought. Can happen to any manager e.g. Pep in the CL final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
