Any player not giving 100% through choice should simply be shown the door.


There wasn't anyone downing tools on Tuesday I didn't think and they are giving their all - it's more their in game intelligence both tactically & individually that seems to be costing us imo ; and obviously confidence is rock bottom .

I genuinely think Kieran Green is our  most important player now - need him fit from the start ; yes I know he's limited but he's the first name on the teamsheet if in a dogfight for me and does some of the basics well (he would not empty out the middle of the park for example ) .

Quoted from Phil the cod
Having read the threads calling for the managers head (I'd get rid too btw) I can't believe the so called players aren't getting more stick for the run of bad results, if they are sulking or not playing for the manager, then why don't they do the fans a favour and tell us so , then we can make the call of wether to bother traveling to games and all the expenses that come with it.
Always amazes me how players escape the shite. It's like they are made of Teflon.


I think the players do come in for some stick individually.

I seem to recall Eastwood, Cartwright, Efete, Glennon, Rodgers, Amos, Mullarkey, Holohan, Hunt and Pyke all coming in for some stick during this season so far. Waterfall also had his critics.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Not to mention Harry Clifton, who's standards have dropped by an alarming amount. Has Gav really got stick? He's been one of our best players.

Who signed the players, coaches the players, dictates the tactics, chooses the formation (regularly) and picks the team?


According to In Hurst We Trust, it's some unknown person or Tea Lady.

If we could get rid of all the players on the books in one go without having to pay compensation how many would we be prepared to  offer new 2 year contracts to ?    -- Clifton Cohen Hallohan ?  there's not many is there ?


Not that simple is it? Choose a system and there would be several of our squad that it wouldn’t suit. Having said that, there’s several who aren’t good enough for any system.

There is always one player that would say , ' what's a system ' ?

Yes totally agree. I wasn't a huge fan of Green due to his lack of technical ability BUT  being as nobody else in midfield is any better technically with the exception of Conteh he's got to play for his attitude and energy. Him Conteh Clifton should stabilise the middle.

What do you mean by ‘system’ and why would we only want to play one way, regardless of opponents, situations in games, changes made in-play by opponents? Sure, we have underperforming, out of form disjointed players. Maybe even a few who aren’t good enough, but the premise of your argument is daft.
