Pre Match Interview

Will someone please point out that the important bit of data is the league table?

Thanks, davmariner. Any chance you could DM me with a quick tutorial. As I've tried following the instructions that have been put on, but I only get a load of text and no video?

Yes as Rob says I just pasted the link and The Fishy did the rest.

Ultimately, he’s trying to paint a picture of a five course dinner with a pallete full of dog turd. What else can he do with arguably the bleakest sequence of results in the club’s 146 year history?

Well that’s given me a much needed boost of reality .
Let’s hope the fooking data gives us 3 points tomorrow.

If anyone on this forum were the manager right now, of a team low on confidence, in need of results, knowing the players you have are the only ones you can work with, so you need to motivate them, help them believe they are good enough and success is quite possible, even probable, with hard work, what would you say?

Regardless of whether DA will or won't have success, I simply don't understand what people want him to say that's different that will actually help the team succeed (which is far more important than saying anything us fans might want to hear, or believe is the reality).

He's saying what the players need to hear him say.

It’s ok though because our ‘expected goals’ position has gone up to 11th! Can’t quite see where this is reflected on our league table stats but surely this will be vital come the end of the season?…

First minute; “performance in large parts of the game is good, the data backs that up”… erm no Dave

Great, thanks to you both.

He's shaped the one's he can work with and IMO made us weaker by doing so losing 3 players (Amos,Waterfall and Efete) who although not great , solid league 2 'character' players who you would have in the trenches ; they wouldn't get you relegated from league 2 playing to their strengths - the dice he's thrown on replacing them might .

He doesn't seem the best man manager - he told us how great Hunt and Khan are yet can't work with them for more than 5 minutes  .

I don't 'hate' Artell he might be the nicest guy in the world .
But he's doing nothing good for our club imo . I'm worried he takes us beyond savable .

I can honestly see in 6 games time us in a total mess, with him saying the exact same thing pre-match  .

I think the guy is a liability

I don't like betting against Grimsby Town, but in Norway, I get a return of 2.15 times the money if Morecambe wins. I won't be too upset if I lose the bet if Grimsby wins - which is very likely, as I usually bet the opposite of the correct result.
