Just back (merged)

A bloke on the radio saying Town fans threw their shirts on the pitch.
Any truth in this ??

Quoted from Marinerz93

Stevenage where by no means a top 7 side but we stood off them and let them play, Stevenage are a competent team and took the freedom of the pitch we gave them with both hands. Summerfield should not be anywhere near the first team after backing off and turning his back for the Stevenage player to hit a quality but ultimately a free shot.

Neither should Rose who was just as crap. As for Hooper, words fail me, utter garbage.

What has Clements done to slade if Summerfield is in the squad ahead of him. I know he's not at full fitness, but McAllister is managing to get on the bench and he must be fitter than him.

I saw one away shirt thrown on the pitch after final whistle

Is it just me or has Slade turned ultra negative since his first stint with us ?

I know he liked the long ball before but he plays 4-5-1 now and I'm sure he played with two strikers before and pacy wingers..

Jesus his past managerial jobs have scarred him for life as he now plays 1 striker and no wingers.

I thought with Kelly, Bolly and Jaiyesimi Slade would actually play with width (as opposed to playing players out of position/square pegs/round holes - something we've seen a lot of in previous seasons) how wrong I was!

Summerfield was our best player today, by some distance In my opinion. Dixon and Rose were absolutely dire. Clarke looks an awful lot worse than Shaun Pearson. I'm sorry Danny Andrew, I now appreciate how good you were compared with this dross that Dixon has given us. I know we have the same number of points as this stage last season but we played 1000 times better at Wycombe and at Colchester in the 2nd half than we have done in the last 2 games. Meanwhile, Hurst's Shrewsbury have a 100% record. Hooper and Cardwell offered absolutely nothing but the service was non existent. Kelly offered as much. Dembele showed some nice touches but he can't play everyone by himself. Collins was our best defender by a considerable margin and I'd say we badly missed Vernon's nous. We need to improve rapidly otherwise we'll be in a relegation battle!

On the train home to Sussex,

Hooper, possibly THE worst debut from a Town player, as someone on here has said he literally did not jump for a single ball played to him, at least Cardwell chased down defenders and gave 100% when he was on. The lad JJ showed more attacking intent in the couple of touches he had than Kelly and Hooper had together in 45 minutes he must start next match, put Dembele behind the front man.

Never in a million years did I think we could be as bad as last season, I was wrong!

Just listened to sladey interview he is fumming with the players and rightly so, they now have to go into training tomorrow

Whether it showed today but Matt Dean on the radio said just after kickoff that Slade had told him "when we have the ball its 433, when we haven't its 4141" good job he didn't let that tactical snippet out before kickoff otherwise Stevanage would have soused us out!!!  Also if Hooper is so rubbish why have we got him, he must have impressed someone, somewhere?

It's punishment time already eh? He picked the team, he decided the formation, he and his team of helpers prepared them so I hope he and the rest of the management are in tomorrow as well. There is such a thing as collective responsibility. He can stop them giving interviews to the press as well as I am already fed up of them telling how fired up they are and preparing well for the next game. Clearly they just trot out meaningless drivel to satisfy the reporter. Actions speak louder than words. As for the indiscipline, 3 red cards in 3 games, when did that last happen. Sort it.
