Don’t think we should treat Ollie like an idiot. It’s not working at present but we should have confidence that he will turn it, albeit slowe than any of us want


This in spades, he clearly knows it's not working and is looking to address this. Fair play to him I say he's fronting up, not hiding and most importantly acting decisively. I still have confidence he will get it right.

Did Ohman ever score first?

Im just wondering how many other teams will have a mid season clear out of all the wheat and chaff signed for this season.


Possibly and we'll probably sign them

Does Ollie think the fans are idiots? They (in the main) certainly are not.
I feel slightly sorry for the goalkeeper / back 4 as it does seem they are being told to play out from the back - because the midfield / front personnel are not very good - and changes are being made in those areas nearly every game. It seems there is no confidence in the ability of the personnel playing in those areas.
People in the back four goalkeeper positions are proving that they are not skilful enough to play out from the back - mistakes costing goals every match.
This has - to me - become a management issue - in terms of enforcing hoofball out of defence. Don’t like it - but I think that’s where we are.

Agree, anotrher goal today as Macca fails with a 25yrd chip to our left back leading to a corner then goal. The guy cant pass a ball so why play in that style.

After todays debarcle maybe Ollie has threatened every last one of his players that he would get rid of them in the blink of an eye if they continually fail to play any better than a Sunday league team on the Ploggers.

If their professional career is at risk, maybe......just maybe......they may buck their ideas up.

Do you change the way you want to play to accommodate your keeper, or do you change the keeper for one that can play how you want him to?

Not much we can do about the second option until January

Plenty of free agents out there. Covid could work in our favour here.  

Not fussed at losing either of these two if I'm honest.

I agree also believe, like others have said that Ohman probably wants to return to Sweden and get himself sorted for the start of their season. He will need replaced with ideally an experienced centre back.

Unfortunately, for the lads signed from non- league on one year contracts I can see their stay at the club being all too brief and two or three will move on without ever getting a chance to show their worth. I would also return Gomis, Morton and Bennett, if agreements allow and if funds available pay off Green.

Whilst a Hanson replacement is also a must the real requirement is in midfield as we seem to be outplayed in this area every week. Ridiculous to be talking like this after a dozen games but mistakes have been made, appear to have been accepted and now must be corrected so any new players are here at the start of January. Only stumbling block may be the £1.5m salary cap not sure how paying up players and signing new ones works in relation to this.
