Quoted from ska face
Jolley made a big point about this group of senior players he’s been working with to help guide the squad - McKeown, Collins, Woolford and Welsh. Well they’ve absolutely had his pants down and are some of the MAJOR problems in this team.

McKeown - lets the ball bounce in his 6 yard box AGAIN and sees it float in off his far post. Game over.

Collins - if you’ve not got the pace and agility to stop Rhys Oates getting past you over 40 yards, then hang your boots up. How many goals is that conceded in the exact same manner?

These four are supposed to be the leaders in this squad but I’ve seen more life in a tramp’s vest. Not an ounce of enthusiasm amongst them, when it’s all going mammaries up are the likes of Embleton, Cook and Davies going to be inspired when this mob are melting away on the pitch and sloping about with their heads down.

Big earners and happy to be seen as leaders but when it comes to the crunch, too many are missing. That’s the worst part of it all for me.


Exactly this. Collins dived in first half and got booked. When defenders start to dive in early, or back off, you know their playing days are over, because they don't fancy their chances of winning the ball in a foot race. They over or under commit and that's fatal.

Welsh was rubbish and when your club captain is taken off early, you know you're in trouble. Woolford has had one decent game all season and i don't know what Vernam has done wrong if he can't get in that side.

Heard rather a startling fact on Radio Humberside before today's game.

This season so far in the first half of games we have scored 4 goals and conceded 3, in the second half of games we have score 1 and conceded 13!

So after today's game that's 5-3 in the first half and 1-15 in the second half.

Why such a startling difference? Is it a fitness thing?

And it happens from the 60th minute apparently. We also concede goals in quick succession, and our recovery from losing positions is virtually nil. I am beginning to think the player's don't believe in Jolley and the half time team talk switches them off rather than energises. I don't think players are unfit nowadays, as they are all checked constantly. It's definitely a mental thing i think. Players who are winning and playing with confidence always look fitter and sharper.

The only reason we lost is that the defence is crap-the midfield is crap-the forward line is crap-the manager is crap-the board is crap-even the pies are crap.

Maybe not just fitness. At half time most managers will have noted the opponents strengths and weaknesses and adjusted his tactics to counteract-we don't because we don't have anybody with enough football savvy to devise a Plan B. Every team we have played  at B.P. have altered tactics at half time. and have improved performance.  The worst team that has played at B'P' this season is Jolly's disjointed squad by far

08/09 and 09/10 seasons happening all over again. Feel for Jolley as he seems a good bloke and would probably come good in the long run. Unfortunately we saw what happened with an inexperienced manager in Neil Woods. Need to change for an experienced manager, who’s first priority is to sort an awful defence! Keep us in the FL at all costs.

Quoted from Hagrid
We had the urine took out of us on the pitch and the club hav taken the urine out of us off it. For too long. jolley out and fenty OUT. Go. Go. Go. intercourse off now fenty and take your board of old codgers with you


That's what we were saying, with 15 minutes to go they were passing it around and we had no answer, they were taking the urine, frigging Morcambe who up to today had looked a poor side yet we couldn't cope with them, they were better than us so this is what it has come to being drunk on by Morecambe.

If we lose the next two games then Jolley has to go along with the rest of his management team and if Fenty doesn't sack them then he can intercourse off.

It's got to the point where I don't really care which happens first - and I'm hoping for both.

Been wanting Welsh dropped for weeks now. In a 50-50 9 times out of 10 he’ll come out on top but what else does he bring now with his lack of mobility? We’ve persisted with 5 in midfield to accommodate for the fact he can only sit in front of a back four but we’re effectively playing with 10 men when in today’s game more than ever it’s about running. We need another dynamic midfielder or two to partner Hess and then we can maybe think of playing 442 and not getting completely over run. Until then I guess with what we have we’ll have to stick with the 5 in the middle but I would say Rose, Hess and Clifton now. Clifton had his best game of the season for me in the middle against Lincoln.
