Embarrassing

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

The general view from opposing teams is that we are one of the poorest around.

Their manager said after the home game we were the poorest team they had played.

I invest so much nervous energy in this team. I was following the game on the computer looking at the score every five minutes. Doing well I thought at HT. Hope was rising, then we conceded. Didn’t look again until the 91st min and saw the red card. Went downstairs and told the Mrs ‘that’s it, cannot waste so much mental worry on them anymore’. Then saw it was even worse at 2-0 on Sky news. They let in another in the time it took to gown down a flight of stairs.
I have watched and followed this club for 64 years. I’ve been in BP with crowds of 16000. I was brought up on stories of Jackie Bestall. idolised Ron Rafferty. The club has a great history and tradition which is being trashed. We should be a good League 1 side at least playing good attractive football. If we go down this season I cannot see us getting back. A very disappointing night and one to forget.

Ha. But they didn't beat us at BP...what he really means it that Newport are only marginally less shite than us.

But tonight we made that bunch of cloggers look like Barcelona.

While I agree we were shocking in the second half, and the football was awful and mistake laden I think the Limbrick out campaign is a bit premature. We were the better of two poor sides in the first half. We had the better chances. On a few occasions we played passing one touch football on the deck in the attacking third. They could be seen as positive initial signs for a squad low on confidence that will take time to improve, if you really wanted to be glass half full.

Didnt watch it live as i was at 5 a side myself tonight, i avoided the score, kept my phone off , got home started watching the whole game at about 9:45....

Fking awful doesnt cut it, not sure there any adjectives that could do the sheer awfulness of that justice.  

Have no idea who was playing where, what formation, system we were employing....with Hanson we have been a bit one dimensional and over using the direct ball to him...without him tonight we suprised everyone by playing balls directly to wherever any town players weren't.

If that is all the reaction, tactical nouse, impetus, impact Limbrick can inject ( irrespective of the limited time he has had ) then he isnt the man for the job.

I really am struggling to think of a worse display with the ball that i have ever witnessed from a town team.

After it finished i turned my phone back on and found messages telling me not to bother watching  

Empathy for the few who travelled down....they all deserve medals for enduring that.

Yet that even wasn’t enough to spur them on. It would have been me. I’d have wanted to shove those words down the sheep pleasers mouth.

They were awful so what does that say about us, at least we had Mr Fenty  on at half time telling us about the good times he brought us during his time in charge.

Makes me livid how they had Podge and we had Cardwell. What a monumental balls up that was, its old hat but still riles me.

Another relegation battle, can’t see is staying up this year.

First half we was the better team, not great but yes we was better.
Second half we couldnt keep the ball in midfield, they were bullied out of it and gave up like wimpy kids.
Robson - do like him but his service was abysmal.
Hewit - been clear for some time the guy is not a midfileder but then agaain Whitehouse and Clifton are wee below par.

WE NEED MIDFIELDERS. rest of the team is decent.
