Same old no lessons learnt

Tom Clarke at right back????????? I ask you, tried it last season and it failed so why do it again.

It worked last season against specifically Millwall, he had a fantastic game.

No reason for him not to try it again, vs their tactics. Unfortunately, they'd adapted, and Mahoney had his number. I don't expect him to be starting for the foreseeable future, this was a one off.

Sean Maguire up front on his own - sigh

Tactically bankrupt

 

[Farmboy]

Losing to that scum embarrassing but Neil Harris sussed us out and won the game,so why couldn;t Alex neil suss them out and we win the game?????

Playing Maguire up front on his own laughable becuase we play a long high ball.

Neil has eye for a good player but he cannot turn a losing position into either a draw or a win = he is clueless with this and only wins when the opposition has an off day.

People knock Simon Grayson but he was a better than neil, we need a new manager simple as.

Look at the stats for last season before you slate me

Millwall away lose what an embarrassment doesn;t get any worse. Look at who travelle;d down there and what they received, Was it bad if so and they admit that we should be reimbursed our money. All we want is 90 minutes of endeavour

Where was Moult or Harrop? they will want away and i dont blame them, shite today totally embarrasing

“Neil can’t turn a losing situation into a draw or a win” ?
Did you watch the Villa away game last season ???

Sometimes subs work out. He acknowledged that the subs in this game had no impact. I think generally he's good at impact making subs.

No doubt that Maguire is best off the left when running at goal.

Current problem is AN clearly doesn’t view Stockley as mobile enough, especially away from home.

We need a pacey striker who can run the channels and run in behind. Hence the Campbell interest.

Is there no chance of resurrecting a deal with Campbell?

No idea where that one is at the moment unfortunately.

I think we need to be looking at Chris Hughton as a replacement, proven manager and available.

There was absolutely no point playing Stockley against Jake Cooper, as proven when he came off the bench and won absolutely fuck all in the air.

Maguire was the right choice, we just need to get the ball on the deck and stop lumping aimless balls forward whenever there's a bit of pressure applied. Need to take more risks and play through the lines. Davies is good at this and so is Pearson but the amount of times Bauer (who defended very well) just lumped it forward.

Gallagher gets a lot of plaudits but he goes missing just as much as Johnson does when we play against a side who press us. He either sits too deep and tries to spray Hollywood balls or he receives it with an opponent at his back and just tries to turn it round the corner without looking.

You could argue he didn't win enough but he won more than what happened in the previous 60 minutes. The closest we got to their goal in the 2nd half was his knockdown towards Maguire when he went down looking for a pen.

I remember when Hugill was sold that some people weren't bothered because it meant we'd suddenly start playing the ball on the ground and into Maguire all the time. 18 months later that hasn't happened anywhere near consistently enough.

 

[The Hood]

The main issue at the moment is for the last 7-8 games last season and currently, we don't press the opposition like we used to, we hardly win any second balls. We have collected so many players now (quantity over quality) he has no idea what his best team is but persists with playing his favourite players even though it's obvious they are not in form or struggling against certain teams, we seem to have reverted to preventing the opposition from playing us and hope for a lucky goal, its been a long time since I have seen us on the front foot, chasing everything and creating lots of chances.

Looking back, things started to unwind in March, once speculation linking Neil to WBA first surfaced and apart from the win over Ipswich, we have still not got back on track. Just prior to that speculation, we had that great run of 6 consecutive away wins, so has that been a factor?

Yes, there are always strange and unexpected results on the opening day, so it's certainly far too early to make a judgement. However, the concern is that the losing mentality has carried over from the tail end of last season. It needs to be quickly reversed and there's no better time to do that than next Saturday in a local Derby!

wigan a local derby?

Nahhhh

Ok. You going to fund his wages and signing on fee spender?

 

[Schemer]

Nahhhh

Absolutely.

 

[raefil]

Absolutely.

Nah its just a game against wigan.

Lashers, plastics, Notlob and Dingles, theyre derbies, proper derbies with real history.

Mr TH has just had a £3million windfall

Hugill money available say £7m, Robbo £5m and Cunningham money say £4m thats £19m by my reckoning surely enough to pay AN off get CH in and a bit left over for a player or 2

He’s not had a £3m windfall, it’s just the dividends voted to him in the latest group accounts. Basically he’s moved money from one pot to another, he may not even have taken the cash out of the company.

Irrelevant to that. Hughton turned down both boro and West Brom because he want to manage in the prem, so why would he come to a team who’ve used what little funds the owner makes available on him

I cannot believe that we would allow Moult to leave on loan with a replacement already in place. There are problems at our club and people need to look at our owner in a bit more detail. he may well have come in and boight the club and kept us afloat pumping his hard earne dmoney but he will have done it for a reason. Just look at the Training ground fiasco where's that gone? conned people into backing him and nothing has been done.

He wont part with the money until the last minute as he is obviously trying to drive the deal down, thats okay if we are the only club in for the player but this course of action will back fire on him for sure. The fans are getting very restless now and a defeat on saturday and I can see the boo boys out in force, nothing less than a win will apease them, thankfully I am away.

we now have the son of TH in as Chairman but nothing has been heard from him. the forums are a joke, Th isn't there, PR can't speak and AK just comes out with jibberish so that leaves AN to talk all things football. This new Chairman needs to come out and engage with the fans.

i fear this season, i was optimistic and even dare i say excited when i saw that Nugent had signed, but that has dissipated into utter disappointment and frustration.

What has happened to the £20million that we received fro ROBBO, HUGILL & CUNNINGHAM, we have only spent about 4mill of that.

We need players and quick, less than 24hrs to go......................................................................................

Rumour Scott Sinclair heading to England. We were in for him but the refused a loan, now its going to be a sale are we back in the hunt? not a prayer. hemmings is turning this club into a joke.
