Are we expecting too much ?

Quoted from Les Brechin

This was the line up that game.

    1 McKeown
    2 Davies
    5 Clarke
    6 Collins
    3 Dixon
    27 Dembele (Substituted fo rMills at 89' minutes)
    19 Summerfield
    10 Jones (Substituted for Matt at 80' minutes)
    25 Woolford
    21 Vernon (Substituted for Rose at 80' minutes)
    7 Berrett

Damn, so essentially we won playing at least 2 players short then (perm any 2 from Woolford, Berrett, Dixon, Vernon)

I often think we’ve not been expecting enough of the squad and, to be frank, some of these have got away with murder this year as Slade and Fenty have taken the brunt of the fans’ anger.

The absolute, complete and utter minimum we should be expecting is a squad of players putting 100% in and running themselves into the ground for 90 minutes each week. There are some who walk off down the tunnel who have barely broken a sweat and don’t have a spot of mud on their kits. Absolute basics like following your man at set plays - Carlisle were queuing up unmarked to nod that second in last week and our lot were stood with their hands on their hips. It’s not been good enough by a long stretch. Some play like they’re undroppable - mainly because that’s been the case this year b

There’s a reason cup upsets happen and that’s generally because teams turn up, are organised and play as if their lives depend on it.

I’m not expecting the centre halves to start spraying 60-yard pinpoint passes or the forwards to suddenly beat 4 men and lash one into the top corner - but I am expecting Jolley to have put a fire under their arses and see an upturn in concentration and effort from a team that have put us in this position.

I am not expecting too much,

If you look at the 10 games 4 or 5 are winnable 2 others we could get a draw,



SO 4 WINS =12PTS  +2 DRAWS =  14 Points in total,

50 points  will be enough to stay up.

We are going to have a Jolley good time BELIEVE  

YES                               - there is a 'lot of moulding' to be done to get this team winning.

I'm hoping that this can happen in the last 5 games of the season - to inject confidence in to next season.

People across social media seem to be forgetting we have the most imbalanced square had in the history of football.

Great to see a proper left back rather than having a square peg in a round hole BUT nobody would have been excited had we signed Fox in pre season.  A handful of games at Stevenage before getting binned. Hope the lad does well, at least he will give us bad lance

I don't think it's expecting too much for us to beat a team at BP who are below us in a very poor league. With a new man at the helm some of these "underperforming" players could view the remainder of the season as an opportunity to play for a new contract. As far as the loan players are concerned, I don't think Jolley will utilise them very much unless he really has to. He will be using every opportunity to appraise his signed squad and he knows that the loan players will return to their parent clubs. Therefore unless they become permanently available in the summer and figure in his long term plans, it would be pointless giving them much game time unless absolutely necessary.

Not sure it'll make much difference Rancido. Aren't most of the signed squad gone by the summer anyway, and we're left with 4 or 5 players?  Part of whether he can motivate them I think will also come down to their character and whether they already have an eye on the exit door.

So if their contracts are up surely that would be motivation enough to impress a new manager otherwise they will be unemployed in the summer.

At some point, we must win a game-best be positive and not nervous wrecks, fortune favours the brave and all that lot.

We can either go down with a wimp or fight for every ball and give ourselves a chance. Ten cup finals await us we need battlers for the task ahead it's up to the players and the fans to show Jolly what GTFC is all about.

I for one is ready for battle tomorrow. Let it commence, we will not be defeated. Every fan stand together and be that 12th man. MJ you've joined the family of all families, we welcome you and your family👍👊💪👌⚽
