well that was just...sh1t wasnt it?

Quoted from oldun

I listened to his interview with JT and could not believe how upbeat he was. Said we were much the better side and should have won! He did have another go at Macca for not stopping the first goal though.

I listened as well and the only conclusion I can come to is that he is fighting for his job and is trying to put a positive spin on things.

I don't blame Slade - this team isn't the one he wanted due to financial restraints but I am surprised he hasn't welded them into a more positive hardworking unit. There is no tempo or drive or enthusiasm both on and off the field.

Slade forgets that football is an ENERTAINMENT. Fans want to watch a good game of football with plenty of chances and good movement, and hopefully a goal or two.

The last season under Hurst we use to play the ball around the back four to find space, fans were screaming for it to go forward instead. Now those same fans are complaining about the centre halves hoofing it forward. Be careful what you wish for.

Now that would be bad sailing,, seeing as my boat is on the norfolk broads lol

Couldn't be bothered to post until now.

86 minutes of mediocrity, followed by 10 minutes when i woke up and paid a bit of attention. We never get last minute winners though do we? That's the sort of thing other teams do.

Dead on the pitch and dead off it, best summed up by my brother who said, "it's hard work being a fan of a sleeping midget"

Common get your facts right are we all wrong,this product has been devalued beyond any marketable value.

Dont accept that at all. A manager is at his strongest when first appointed & if he wanted certain players out he should have insisted they go. He was always going to bring in Nathan Clarke, who is IMO not a better player then Pearson and is less mobile, Sam Kelly one of his first recruits should also be the first to leave, Dixon is the worst left back we have had since first year in the conference. He has an unbalanced squad and has failed to use players who I believe would make us a better team name Osbourne (K), Clements and Big Tom. DJ also not getting a fair crack and Sam Jones has to start.

I actually believe we will improve but my faith is getting stretched to its absolute limit and add in the fact that being at BP is like sitting in a church without the singing!!!

The thing with true fans is that they feek frustrated when they see realky poor performances time after time.
They feel physical pain

People saying how far behind Notts county we are, I don't think that's the main issue really. We have to be realistic and see that we have a mid table budget and are expected to finish around their. The main issue is (and the reason I didn't go to Newport) is the tactics or lack of. The lack of keeping the ball on the deck. I'm not deluded, I don't expect us to win every game but I do expect us to try play proper football. This is why I didn't go to the game I was ment to. Win lose or draw as long as we try to play football the right way I'm happier.

Let`s be honest Colchester are about as bad a side as you are likely to encounter in this league and I don`t know the stats but they seemed to pass the ball about far better than we did? Playing hoofball with forwards who don`t like to move and don`t win headers suggests you ain`t going to do very well at that either? The comments from fans leaving and all around where I was suggest Lincoln will be the end of the road for many if Town lose this team and these tactics are just not worth watching.The decision to get rid of Pearson is looking more and more like a massive error of judgement and Macca being no 1 we saw last Season if you bring in a better keeper it will pay off in points won.

There was no point saying anything at the time stating on here that Hurst was right when he said we’d been spoilt by some of the Football we’d been playing in the conference but I knew he was bang on or at least had a point. Slade as a fan mentioned on here last season looks at how teams in this division get promoted and it is not unfortunately through passing it round teams a lot of the time it’s winning ugly a lot of the time which gets you where you want to be.

Don’t think we’re strong enough in the middle of the park because for me our 3 best centre mids are all injured which isn’t Slades fault. He said in his interview he knows it wasn’t always pretty but sometimes it has to be ugly. It’s a game of small margins as ever. Dembele scores in the first half instead of hitting the inside of the post we’re saying great goal and/or if Jamille Matt scores his injury time winner and Town win I guarantee you’re all saying something along the lines of. ‘Not pretty but battled well and a good win, great goals from Dembele and Matt.’ Instead we didn’t take those chances and once again it’s this is the worst team in years, Fenty needs to go, clueless, wrong system, wrong shape, don’t run rings round teams enough.

It’s unfortunate but not the end of the world and we go again on Saturday and praying we get a positive result because the moaning is sooo boring (as is the football at times but that’s life).
