Quoted from drbell
If anyone on this forum were the manager right now, of a team low on confidence, in need of results, knowing the players you have are the only ones you can work with, so you need to motivate them, help them believe they are good enough and success is quite possible, even probable, with hard work, what would you say?

Regardless of whether DA will or won't have success, I simply don't understand what people want him to say that's different that will actually help the team succeed (which is far more important than saying anything us fans might want to hear, or believe is the reality).

He's saying what the players need to hear him say.



Yes, he's doing the right thing, as he will do because he won't resign. I think most people would argue he shouldn't be given the opportunity as they have lost faith in him. Do the players still believe in him? I think many people think not.

Ended up turning it off. However for balance I have turned off the interviews when we've won as well. Can't relate to him whatsoever but hope he can turn it round.

5-1 wasn’t it? Yep worse than you thought


Bloody hell that’s depressing. I must have lost count. Cheers for the reminder!

He was a bit better in the Humberside interview in fairness.


Up The Mariners!

He says our xg has improved a lot as we drop like a stone, and then says Salford are on a good run because their xg has improved.

I would gleam from that it is all a load of balderdash.

Look, did I feel he needed to go after the Donny game? Yes
Has he gone? No
So I've got 2 options, bang that particular drum, pick everything he says apart and moan or support us each and every week in what is a critical time, where sadly once again we need our 12th man for difficult reasons.
One thing that I'm sure ourselves, Artell and Stockwood all agree on is that we collectively want to succeed. I am concerned about what we are producing under Artell but trust the judgement of our owners who have pretty much rescued our club let's face it.

Erm...........the crowd did get behind the team at the start of the Donny game but before we could get up a chant of Mariners Mariners Mariners we were 2-0 down.

It's now time for the manager and team to really give us something to shout about.

Well, not exactly.

A better xG should certainly lead to a team scoring more goals (and both Clifton and Green missed sitters in the first half last week), but it's not guaranteed.

Scoring the goals isn't really so much of an issue at present. The problem is the Keystone Kops defending which we're seeing most weeks. I'd bet that the xG for teams who have been playing us this year has been quite high and it's not much to do with how they have been playing.
