Just Back

Quoted from kevikov

That situation sounds uncannily similar to luton/bournemouth. If not this season, then its coming next.  

Last season felt like that season but we’ll be saved by other’s greater incompetence again!

Just back from the 6 hour round trip and my view is that I can see what Limbrick was trying to do but Swindon where far too good for a set of players who are so short of confidence the only way we’d have ever got anything from this game was to go 4-5-1 and just focus on “keeping us shape” something incidentally we did really badly today.

Well we got beaten by the league leaders that happens in every tier of the game and looking at Swindon today will happen to better Teams than Town but it’s the nature of the defeat that worries me in that the players looked like they where happy to let the game pass them by.

I’m not going to single anyone out but today there where lots of instances when players could have ran into space but never did is this coaching or attitude?

4-3-3 does us no favours as our midfielders are all similar have no vision and limited ability, also that shape needs players to move into space and a squad that was pulled together to play hoof ball has not been set up for that and it will take a fair while for them to adapt.

It’s a mess at the moment on and I also think the players have got a complacent belief that as only 1 goes down they’re are two good to occupy that spot, on today’s showing a new man is required at the helm to dispel that particular myth.

UTM!!

They need a fooking good kick up the ar.se

The 2 mins added on in the first-half was not long enough for all the injuries.  More minutes added might have given us a possibility of getting into their half.

The 6 minutes added on at the end were just added torture.

I won’t comment on the match. Nothing good to say.

That is incredible support if I might say.

I have been a fanatical Town fan for 60 years, but it is getting a struggle to even travel in the 15 or so miles for each home game.

To be honest, my enthusiasm went some time ago, and I go more out of duty than enjoyment or expectation.

A bit like Ginny of this parish my patience has (almost) been exhausted.

More worryingly my son, who has supported the Mariners all his life, has said he is taking a break next season unless we get new owners.

It really is grim; nearly two decades of stagnation or regression with no end in sight. We need some hope, and quick as this feels like a slow lingering death.

The game was so frustrating.  I think we started brightly played some good moves but could't get the telling pass. The first goal made a small dent in our confidence but the second killed us.  The body language of the Town players said it all. From that moment on the game was lost. The Swindon player should have been shut down quicker but on any other day, that deflected shot could have skidded the other side of the post. That's football.  Hanson , looked up for it at the start but we should be playing to his feet to hold up and get someone alongside him.   After one ball that flew over his head, his whole body sagged.He didn't seem interested after that.   I think the scoreline flattered them a bit.  Sure, they were by the better side but we did show some promise at times.  if we'd been in a play off place and beaten by Swindon we'd say that but we are crucifying our team for losing to a really quick slick football team that added 'gamesmanship'into the mix. Who puts on a sub a minute from time when you're 3 up?!  You can see going forward the players are afraid of screwing up and when you are afraid , that's generally what happens - you screw up.  We do need a new voice to come in and give them their faith back in themselves. If you've watched Liverpool this season their confidence is so high they make their own luck. We are unable to do that at the moment. UTM!!

From what I've seen, the most outstanding problem, with this team, is the lack of pace.

Macca had a poor game
Hess had a poor game
Whitehouse is pointless
Green needs to be in the middle
I've asked for Vernam for months, but was poor today
Hanson must be losing his head very quickly, as we hoof it to him, he wins it, but no one near him

This team started well, this team beat Exeter away, new manager, new ideas, confidence back, and we will be fine

Can’t really argue with that report

Even mentions the derisory “cheers” for the “attempts on goal” we made around the hour mark

So much for fortress BP when our own fans are deriding our players and not the opposition. It was embarrassing to witness
