Owl1987 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The blokes interviews just get worse. Sure hes a nice bloke but I can't be bothered to even listen to him so no wonder he can't get us going on the pitch. Drifting into another season of nothingness.

Kopparberg Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Feels currently like keeping a manager for the sake of it. I’d get rid if I was Chansiri - the fanbase isn’t impressed with Moore… every game is full of doubt - starting with the team sheet and the tactics to the performanc to the result. If we drop 5 places so be it… but what’s the point in not going for it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swinners Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well, I am bitterly disappointed in a manager who finds excuses in saying players lost concentration at key moments. The player you are referring to has been shoe horned into a CB position from a wing and YOU HAVE a CB ON THE BENCH , YOU MUPPET!! GET RID! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth had three shots on target for their two goals. Brings in a CB and leaves him on the bench even after we had conceded yet another headed goal from a cross. Stupidity personified. Yep. We played very well against Plymouth, but you do have to wonder what happens if Windass doesn't grab the 4th straight after their second. I have a sneaking suspicion it would have finished 3-3. Look, every now and then you can convert a player into a new position. Dem Blades managed to successfully convert Basham from a central midfielder into a centre back...but that isn't going to happen with Marvin Johnson. He's a wide left sided utility player, who could do a *job* at left back and not a very good one from what I saw. To persist with trying to convert the bloke into a CB is just madness imo. One time wingers into full backs i can get as they reach a certain age. I can even get on board with perhaps a proper full back switching to CB in a three, as they are a bit more use to venturing into wide areas. I recall Pudil doing ok when we switched him. But there is just nothing about Johnson to suggest this experiment should carry on any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get away with it against the sh*t sides, (and there are plenty of them at this level) it’s ok, but when this madness is getting exposed against Shrewsbury and Oxford maybe it’s time to turn it in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference is there are more crap teams than the Championship, so less times you'll be punished. If Moore had somehow kept us up last season, we would be right near the bottom three imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that the players [apart from Berahino and Brown] are at fault here but it is the way we fail to adapt or counter. Thats a managerial problem where attrition might work in the National League. But signing an out and out CB, putting him on the bench and not bringing him on in favour of the hapless Brown is just downright nonsense. Moore was again exposed today for his total lack of any ability to change or recover a game. Several games too many for me and possibly too late to salvage any thing before we lose any advantage of keeping this group together for a tilt unfinished business…. Spot on. Other than I'd substitute several for, many many. This has now become a joke. Plymouth were awful the other week, yet still stuck two past us.

Thing is.. We are being punished, look at the goals we are shipping. The only plus point as you say is that it's such a crap league. At least we have a chance. But, how many of us can say that we look forward to a game with confidence? In League One for Christ sake.

mcmigo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I am pleased the biggest myth in football is now being shown for what it is. You read and hear constantly that fans would rather we lost 4-3 and had a go than try and scrape narrow draws or wins. That is , Of course, nonsense and always has been as any loss , even one where we have a real go, play very attacking football and score 2 goals triggers pitchforks and protests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnssweetshop Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Another manager that bull shitted a gullible chairman with no business, and common sense. Moore's my way or the highway tactics should be a one way highway away from S6 for him. Devoid of change, game changing ideas and technical know how.. Lee Bullen leaving for Ayr, spoke volumes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred this type of game all season TBF, but having watched DMs negative tactics over the first third of a season we are now desperate for wins because of all the points dropped then. Seriously, we've had a couple of entertaining games in a season full of uninspired mediocrity. At present the season will be dead by February.
