Just Back

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

  Despite losing 3-0 at home to Salford last night Donney had 20 shots at goal. Would a similar number of shots trouble our poor defence and keeper?  

well we had 19 so we're bound to lose in a high scoring game again

Quoted from DB

PH sends Green to talk to JT on RH. Wot Hurst is not available, Doig is not available, Coaches are not available, Club Captain is not available, and Match Captain is not available.

A sh!t performance on the pitch and a worse from the staff fo not turning to talk to JT.

Wrong, PH was interviewed by JT after the match.

I think Maringer on another thread has the answer to Eastwood. Maybe we thought Cartwright would be number 1 with him being highly rated at Hull, but it hasn't materialised.

The two keeper plan has failed, if that is why Crocombe left it’s a massive blunder. As was letting Orsi go.

All told the squad building in the summer has failed, it’s down to PH, he knows that and I think that’s behind what he was saying last night. They are not all bad players, some are good enough for a play-off challenging side, but we are unbalanced, lack options outside the preferred one up front system (that worked well with Taylor and McAtee at their best), and McAtee hasn’t been replaced so even the preferred system lacks the most important lynchpin.

I’m more concerned now than in previous bad runs because of the problems at GK and at the back. We don’t look like grinding out any 1-0s…

Its worth remembering that Eastwood, Mullarky and Rogers were all in teams that were relegated last season.  They have come to Town believing that we are in an upward trajectory.  With all the leads squandered, last minute goals costing lots of points, it must feel like deja vu, no wonder they have lost a bit of form.
The whole team, whilst trying hard, no complaints about workrate, look dejected, disjointed and demoralised.  
Also, it was recognised that our first fixtures were against the expected better teams, and generally played well, but the afore mentioned squandered leads and  dropped points have affected morale and form, so much so that going into the easier fixtures our dreadful form has continued.
We need a few confidence boosting  wins, preferably at Donny and Slough, if we don't, then I'm afraid Hurst will be gone.

Rodgers is the biggest drop off for me. Rodgers looked absolute class in his first few games. First few he looked strong, combative, decent on the ball but he just looks all over the show at the minute and desperately lacking in any confidence. Maybe it is a hangover from last season but he looks like he needs taking out of the firing line to me. I'd be tempted to go with a back four of Efete, Waterfall, Maher and Amos on Saturday with Conteh and Green in front of them. Christ knows what you do in goal.

Good point on Rodgers who has been largely disappointing recently (and was at fault for the first goal yesterday by charging in and getting caught out of possession). Reverting to the back four of last season makes sense.

And this is the last group of players I would choose to fight a relegation battle. They didn't expect to be in one, and they won't be able to handle it.

So you post an interview by someone else.  Are you saying I am lying?

Hindsight is brilliant but you are wrong. We were told by RH that Hurst would appear, only for Green to appear during the program and not Hurst which was correct at the time I posted. At that time nobody knew if Hurst would appear later or not. He chose to be interviewed after the program ended and you had to search RH to find it.
