It's all deflection, he picks the team and sets them up. Bullshitting the fans at full time will only work once or twice.

Never an easy call to make, and I'm not even sure if it's the right or wrong thing to do, but it takes a strong guy to do that and credit due to him.

Most of what needed saying has been said but just a few observations on actual events in the game. Macca saved Town from a far worse hammering but I'd like to see the first goal again because in real time it looked like he made their lads job for the first goal a bit easier by rushing out. His save in the second half from the chip from distance was extraordinary but perhaps now he'll be less prone to standing so far out of his goal. It is impossible to fault Bolarinwa's effort and his strong running put Crewe (nearly) on the back foot but there was one moment where he took the ball off Assante's boot for a wild shot high/wide. Assante appeared incredulous! I felt sorry for the young lad Dyson. The "service" was non-existant. He is too light to play a game requiring him to jump with experienced League 2 defenders. We all know Bogle was our main (only?) goal threat but he brought the best out of Yousuff who looks a shadow of the player that did so well at Carlisle and Hartlepool without the big mans support. We appeared to play a large part of the second half with a left back without a left foot (Collins)

We knew what was coming at 0-1 and said intercourse it, pub at 3. Shocking that we couldn't even get out the flipping ground before 0-4. Total embarrassment. Anyone who thinks we haven't a right to moan because we bought a ticket... really?

When we have seen this thing at other clubs it has marked the beginning of the end Di Cannio, Phil Brown etc.... I hope not as that shows how much this means to him and how big his balls are.

Collins is left-footed. Or, at least, he has been in all the games I've seen him play!

Woeful defensive display. Maybe uncharacteristic because we went from +2 to -3 goal difference in one match. Even collins had a bad game. Only bright spark was osbourne again, dont understand the substitution of andrew as clements was by far the worst player on the field first half. Dyson got booked far too early and was off pace as was yussef and davies exposed on the right. Would have brought mills on for ben to counter against an impressive cooper who tore us apart first half and i dont understand why dagnall is playing at this level. Their loan player from middlesborough (no.16) was good too but town gifted crewe 4 goals first half and offered little going forward other than osbourne. On this showing we are greatly missing bogle as we were soooooo lightweight up top against big centre halfs. Second half the game was already won and crewe took a stroll whilst we half heartedly tried to play for pride. Crewe could have stepped up a gear when they wanted and scored a fifth. Every player bar osbourne had mare today and this was the first time ever in 30 odd years that id ever left a game before the final whistle. Very very disappointed but we need a response at newport

Seen every game under Bignot so far and come to following conclusions
Squad overall improved in terms of individual players Bit like Les Dawson on the piano, all the notes in wrong order. No clear pattern of play or system which for a full time pro manager is worrying. Interviews are a car crash. Tonight he ran out of cliches and his own answer for the performance was they got blown away in first twenty minutes. No excrement. The question was why. .......he was unable to answer and actually buried is head in his hands as was lost.
My fear is that if we see that he is full of cliches and seems more concerned about courting favour with fans by blowing smoke up our arses, the players will quickly suss him out too.
I'm not going to Newport, cos today has sapped me for a week
Bignot...honeymoon over lad and time to turn the talk into some walk.
I couldn't agree more. Recently I used two words to describe the Carlisle game and they were "absolutely magnificent" the Crewe game I will describe in two words " flipping garbage". I didn't join in the MB love in, I was waiting to see how he got on and am beginning to think the Carlisle game was an exception. I know for a fact some senior players don't rate the guy at all, but I will add that their opinions might be slightly affected by them being no longer in the team. I'm not a big fan of this 3-5-2 system, yes it worked at Carlisle but most of the other games we have looked quite poor at times even in the games we have won. The Newport match is a big game for MB, defeat and the knives will certainly be out.

I don't know how you can possibly say clements was the worst player first half, uses you completely ignore Davies and comley.
