Remember last season when Fenty thought we were coasting and were safe so felt we didn't need to invest?
Some of us do.....

Quoted from scott_gtfc_89
Am sorry but December was a great month for us and that is proven by the monthly awards the club got can we also add that was with a lot more injuries especially defensively than we have now.

To change the formation and the team that was winning and grinding games back to a formation that has proven to be a failure for us is unforgivable.

All that hard work at Exeter and Palace when we thought we was on the up to this.

1 step forward 2 steps back.

Back to 442 please M.J


Seen this written a lot tonight.

We had lost 2 games in a row (I'm not counting the Palace game) before we changed to 352 at the weekend.

True, but we also had most of our defence out injured and suspended for those two games.  

Seems a tad strange to play 4 or 5 at the back when you are short of defenders then switch to only 3 at the back when you get those defenders back.

Last season we got just one point in January. We will do well to match that this year.

This has been a really tough run of fixtures. Lets hope we get back on track soon.

The reality is that we’re a mid-table team. We’ll win some and lose some. Bit of a joke how quickly some opinions change to be honest.

If you are going to change the system then why not do it in games you probably won’t win. Removes some pressure. Did you all really think we’d get any more than 3 points in Jan? I didn’t. It’s a horrible run of games that we need to get through and move on. We lost 1:0 away at top of the table Saturday, then three days later play a team with more cash than us. Let’s be sensible for a bit eh. This team is a million miles from the dogshit that Slade produced and we are still building. Keep the faith.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Jolley pointed out that when we were on our good run, we weren't that much better than we were on our losing run. I bet we're probably not much worse now than we were in December. Small margins and the quality of opposition count for a lot.

If.


Last night was not 'small margins'. It was a chasm and he brought it on himself.

I don't think you have an understanding on the 3-5-2 formation.

Collectively awful. Very unhappy with that performance or lack of it. Very few positives to take out of that one. Five games, five defeats ZERO goals scored. Is Jolley a fraud? That team wasn't set up and didn't work to a plan. FGR a good side, will credit them but awful from us.

Asking him to play as a wing back is asking a lot. If he was playing in a 4-4-2 or even a 4-3-3 he's get some support. He may be a better player than we've seen so far, but he allowed that first cross last night and looks out of his depth. That said, his season finished in November.
