Quoted from MuddyWaters


If he knows the players then please explain why we had three wide attackers on after half time. Akheem is not a centre forward.


He is a centre forward, and scored quite freely in that position at youth level. He is still young and raw in what is his first season with regular appearances. We shouldn’t be relying on him in our current form and it’s a bit harsh to be digging him out. The only reason he’s playing is because Green and Ogbu mostly look like they couldn’t give a toss.

No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Ogbu did more in his 25 than Rose did in the half. Rose is garbage, its not harsh, if a player isnt good enough fans are entitled to say so

I saw Holloway before the game today,

He was on i follow  

Fenty has said he will take £200,000 of his loan out the club and buy shares with it,

Well I think that is very good of him but I would rather he gives Holloway a good bit of that to bring him in the club.

After all we do not know what AL will do with it as we do not know his recruitment skills.

holloway isnt going to wave his magic wand then all of a sudden we win games, Anthony knows the players and what there capable of maybe he needs a chance  


ALL new managers worth their salt have a proverbial magic wand - an ability to get results out of players who NEED to impress. AL has failed to do that, quite miserably. All other clubs manage to get the ‘new manager bounce’ except us! Time for this obvious change.

Rose seemed to pick the wrong option too many times, shooting when a pass was on etc.  Poor control and wrongly weighted passes also frustrated attacks with potential.  The biggest one for me, was failing to really attack that cross to the back post, their full back was relatively untroubled when clearing when Rose should have been all over him.

However, it's easy to pin it all on Rose, despite his present limitations, he may be useful as an impact player.  I just thought AL made the wrong call in bringing him on at Half Time.  

In the bigger picture, giving credit to AL, I do think he has found Harry Clifton's best position and that has been part of our improvement.  It's a shame no one else in our midfield 3 has a regular goal threat in them.

The big question in the manager debate is does AL have the ability to recruit the players who can make a difference.  We may never know, the present results may make giving him that chance too risky.

Story today was that Holloway is linked with the other investment group, and that Shutes is out of the picture as he has failed to come up with the £££££

I have said this before and take no pleasure in repeating it, but I just cannot see why we spent so much time and effort on Rose.

He really was terrible today, and it was a terrible decision to bring him on as the central "striker". He does not have the physical presence nor desire to get on the end of anything; I ahve been really disappointed with him after hearing so much positive talk when he was getting his papers in order.

I heard on the radio on the way home that Green was playing with a groin injury but AL took the risk. Another poor decision as you should never play a player who is not 100% fit, especially as we have Ogbu who did really well when he came on.  

Managers live and die by their decisions and AL has not done his chances much good today. I am still hoping the Holloway thing is a possibility as he would provide the much needed spark.

Saud it before, I've seen Rose several times now and he's just not a league quality player..never mind he's raw stuff...yes, he's quick and strong but he's just not good enough, time to accept that and let him go to the conference where he may just cut a career for himself ..
