It was a bad defeat and the manner of it was even worse. But it was our first defeat in 3 months. Moore is over performing at present, as are his team of freebies and loan players. Anybody that genuinely thought he could construct a team from our situation that can really push for promotion is kidding themselves. That's not Darren Moore's fault. He's making the best of the hand he's been dealt by the chairman. It would be grossly unfair to sack him now. Anything above mid table by the end of the season and he's worked a miracle At last a sensible dose of reality. There are still people on here who think we have the strongest squad in the league. Sorry I dont get it they are what they are freebies and loan players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he changed to 2 up front and less playing it out,(eventually)but too little too late,after costing us too many draws against sides we could,and should have beaten easily. You seriously suggesting we cant set up to attack poor third Division sides and have a go? Really? you agree with DM than to set up each team to counter the other teams 'strength's? We are going nowhere.....& to not even start the NY in a play off position,but be 5 points adrift of one,is a ****ing disgrace of a failure...FAILURE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITS perfectly reasonable to assume we have a decent squad,7 of our players were first team regulars in the Championship last season with us,we added BPF on loan, and added Gregory & Wing both sort after players after last season. Some of our signings haven't worked out,but overall our squad is strong....by comparison to the quality of others. As a team are we playing well?NO are our team selections right? not in my view? tactics same.....Game management & subs ? ditto......and all of the above make us WEAK (er) than other teams/squads Thats why many feel we should be doing better Lots of teams have to bring in players for nothing,season after season, Rotherham for one...

I wonder how many players we could have said such things about in the last couple of decades that weren't up to the standard? We could probably put together four or five whole teams from such a list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkley has been a one-man defence for the last month or so. He's only a liability in the sense that we can't rely on his fitness. Which wouldn't matter so much if Iorfa and Hutch weren't always injured too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernowOwl Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I hope Moore has not been telling the players before every game ‘don’t worry lads, the fans only want mid table. Now go out there and have some fun’. With the wages some of our players are on, is it so wrong for the fans to want top 6? I personally wanted top 2. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I fully agree with the OP, & I can cope with uttershyte performances, with one condition; We win at Shrewsbury. This will prove yesterday was a one off, it will show that the players have some professional & personal pride & restore some faith in the supporters. Leicester got thumped at City, next time out, they beat Liverpool. It's this attitude we need to see. Put things straight at the first opportunity. No bs excuses.
