Obviously this lady wasn't macca's other half as she claimed, I'll have to make contact with her to apologise.


Aaron in talking bullsh1t shocker!!! Why do you continue to make things up Aaron? I thought since you came back you'd actually grown up but evidently not!

This just reminds me of the the commotion you caused last time with your horrendous made up stories!

Some polite advice which you can take or ignore.... stop... making.... up.....stories!!!!!!

Simple as that!!

Quoted from Mariner_09
PH left us with all the right foundations and ingredients to be an competitive league club, one of the hottest prospects in the lower leagues, 4th highest attendances in the league, a hard working squad that dug out results and he left us when were 8th in the league I think. Marcus has to just add some creativity and flair to that plus some more staff, e.g a strength and conditioning coach, a fitness coach and a couple of specialists for attackers or something.


I think PH left us in that situation where we had some stability to stop us going down, mid table defiantly but in reality once we had played everyone not "competitive" in terms of the play offs and promotion. I reckon he took it as far as he could with his recruitment network and football budget and when I say football I don't mean just signing players.

We where in the proverbial "shite" a few seasons ago but he did what he could and along with his players, staff, club and fans achieved the number 1 objective promotion back to the FL. It wasn't pretty or harmonious but we did it.

I think Marcus has to add quite a bit more than creativity and flair firstly he also needs to add real quality which will be supported and developed with support from an improved infrastructure and increased attendances. I would not expect is to be promotion contenders until 18/19 in reality, anything before that will be a pleasant surprise.

I posted a few matches ago that we have no variety in our free kicks and corners.  This costs nothing to experiment with.

A couple of teams at BP this season have had the element of surprise with some innovation at set pieces.  Exeter did something different and original with a clever free kick routine immediately before their first goal.  This fooled us enough to create a shot at goal for them from which they won a corner.

The corner resulted in them scoring and on the way to 3 points.  From little acorns grow ..................Can we work on some new routines please?  It will pay dividends eventually.  The element of surprise is rarely wasted.

Not read the previous post on this thread, so at risk of possibly repeating others.

IMO, having 6 defenders on the pitch at the start of the game was ridiculous.

we then went 2-0 down, and he took off a striker and a midfielder, and left the 6 defenders on the pitch.

at one stage, we had a midfield of Davies, Mills, Disley and Andrew....

We set up for that game as if it was an away game.

IMO, to get the best out of Bogle, you need Vose in the middle and starting.

I know people see Vose as lazy, and i get why as he just seems to be half asleep all the time, however he is one hell of a player and needs to be in that team!

Wasn't at Hartlepool, but was told Collins had a poor game, and same has to be said about Saturday.

Not sure why at half time we changed the CBs unless Pearson was injured, seemed an odd decision when we where behind in the game and creating nothing.

Perhaps MB thought the new lad would distribute the ball better, which he did. Maybe he was just trying to ease him into the system, maybe Pearson had a knock, who knows what goes through a managers mind but he's paid to make those decisions. Sometimes it's not about who is the best defender but which ones work best together. In the new system, Collins has been on the left of the three and is much better in the centre of the three IMO. Gunning is left footed, so for me the idea was for Andrew to push up more and Gunning to cover over on his side. I suppose Pearson could have gone to the right in Boyce's spot but he was doing ok there. Maybe he wanted to keep Boyce on and see what he's got before making up his mind on him. He's clearly still experimenting and assessing players.

You'd have to say that, with the three defenders played at the back all lacking pace, Exeter were about the worst side we could have faced. Their attackers were all quick and mobile so it wasn't too much of a surprise that the back three struggled once we were chasing the game. Against a team playing more of a target man, they would probably have coped a bit better. Still very aware that our central defensive options don't have any pace about them and some teams will exploit this - especially if the rest of the team is playing crap!
