Just back

Quoted from 1mickylyons

Did he ever have a plot to lose? Hearing DA speak how on earth did he get the job ? Fenty got hammered for his Managerial appointments well 7 weeks in and I'm hugely annoyed. JS talks about anything and everything but the only thing he's had to do so far is replace Hurst and it looks like a balderdash been dropped to me.

Absolutely inept today, everyone from the manager to the players weren’t good enough. He sounds more and more like David Brent every time I hear him, won’t get relegated? We bloody will playing like that mate! And you’re setting us up to get beat every week! Still persisting with slowly playing out from the back with players that can’t do it. I thought Tharme might be the centre half to help us do that but he looked no better than Maher or Rodgers. In front of them he put Green who has zero composure, positional sense or technical ability, and every time we attempted to play it out he disappeared and left a huge hole in front of the centre halves and therefore limited options. Then having 2 on loan youngsters ahead of him in midfield and leaving an experienced potential game changer in Gav sat on his derrière until the 85th minute is absolute criminal. Harry on the right? Vernam on the bench? Obikwu on instead of Wilson? The questions go on and on. And to top it off that interview afterwards was embarrassing!

We don’t need a project, a philosophy or pretty statistics, we need a manager to stiffen us up, sort out the basics, make us hard to beat and get away from the prospect of being relegated to the NL for a third time in 14 years.

So, we have a new manager and he's somehow made us worse. Every winger that comes here has a field day and we are getting destroyed down the sides. Last game it was our right side, and this time it was the left. Maybe Clifton was put there to help out Mullarkey after the last game? I said at half time, get Wood off, get Vernam on and put Harry in the middle, because their midfield were totally bossing the game, and Wood was moving like he had a stick up his ar$e. He wanted way too long on the ball and was just getting picked off time and again. One of the worst full debuts I have ever seen.

They started way brighter than us, and it took 10 mins before we even got the ball into their box. We are at home against the team one place above us FFS. It then took us until the 80th minute to force a save from their keeper. The only one he made I think.

That midfield of ours today was shockingly bad. How the hell did we end up with two loanees in there, with about 2 dozen league games between them? Then there was Green, who has barely played all season, and Clifton stuck out wide, who with the best will in the world, will run all day and graft, but needs better players around him. Wood is even slower than Andrews if that is possible. Tharme didn't look much better than what went before, and I would like to see their winner again because I thought he could have cut out the cross. Rodgers somehow looked worse on the left then he does on the right.

Then there is that running theme of other players in other teams who just know how to do the basics. They seem to be able to head the ball properly, control it and pass to a team mate, something that looks beyond our lot 9 times out of 10.

As for the tactics, Adkins won hands down. Let us have the ball at the back, and close down our midfield. We looked clueless in how to progress up the pitch.

Tranmere were totally untroubled and I never at any time thought we would get back in the game, unless we got a lucky break, like the first goal, which landed at his feet unmarked. Was a decent finish mind, which is about the only positive from the entire 90 mins.

Totally p1ssed off with our continuing ineptitude.

For me Amos LB with Glennon LM solves the problem Eisa is bone idle and scores a screamer 1/7.

Because Mularkey is a top RB, who stays back at the right time and destroys wingers and gives the guy in front of him so much freedom to focus on attacking without thinking about defensive duties... Why would he play Clifton in front of him?
