Just Back

Mcmenemy played that style because it was how football was played in them days, also the pitches in winter were usually more mud then grass. The old saying of a player “having a good engine” was more important then a skilled player, also tackling was allowed back then.

The better corners in the first half did not beat the first defender.  The remainder were strangled at birth at the corner flag trying a new botched short corner routine,

The same level of success came from playing out from the back.  Not without further practice please.  Our players are not good enough to play this way.  PL keepers and defenders get it wrong.  And not on a windy day either.

A game to forget for every reason.

Quoted from 140381

Every time we played it out from the back I was nervous. Had been looking forward to this. Utter shít.

Not remotely consoled by Artell’s post match interview either.

Wouldn’t be inspired / motivated by such incoherent twaddle.

I wonder what goes through some people’s minds.

Would you rather have a man with a plan who wants to win games playing the right way or someone who just doesn’t want to lose?

He even told us there would be bumps in the road while the team was getting to grips with what he wants.

Yes, today was disappointing in the same way that Crewe was exciting.

I don't know what his plan was today but I think he got it wrong or was out thought by the Harrogate manager.

His plan is long term. Not just 90 minutes against a well drilled and efficient opponent.

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

Load of shite, fans just want to see effort and today it looked like there was 0 hence the moans and groans. If we went and had a go at Harrogate and didn't fanny about with 10 corners going short then there probably wouldn't of been groans. The style of play isn't the reason the fans booed, it's the application and effort of players that was the problem today like it has been for 90% of the season.

There were plenty around me moaning "get it forward" when pratting around at the back.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

I've no idea but people will understand the difference in style.

Imagine someone in 1973 telling everyone the crowd prefer the style from 1923. Absolutely insane behaviour.

People can’t expect the players to be brave on the ball, anywhere on the pitch, if the fans are filling their y-fronts every time we have to make a pass.

Same goes for that goon Tondeur on Humberside, been needling the manager and players every chance he gets about the different style. Bloke sounds like he’s on the verge of a coronary the second the ball’s not punted into the stratosphere.

It’s possible to play terribly without having to completely abandon your principles the following week.

Run faster, pass harder and in front of players, make yourself available, sort out free kicks and corners.

Slow, square balls across the penalty area are frightening !

These are pro players who should understand instructions and be able to.last 90.minutes if needed.

There may be movements out in January now that Artell has had a bad game to view !

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Most of the team lost their individual battles today and, more worryingly, couldn’t get their heads around a Plan B.

We won’t win every game and we have a plan. Let’s see what January brings.

You make me laugh, your quite prepared to wait and see what January brings for this gaffer but you wanted Pearson and Davies out in a hurry . We played better under their guidance than that showing today and who's to say we wouldn't have improved even more under them . Oh I know Artex must be better because he's a NAME.. and we probably paid more money for him ,so to you amongst us that watch premiershit football that must be the right decision. I really hope he makes a fist of it for all our sakes . I know some will be saying.. oh the snipers are out already. But Shaun and Ben took 5 points from 9 ,playoff form and got us through one round of the cup Artex has 5 points from 12 and we're out of the cup.....? Just saying . We were sh!t today .  U.T.M.
