Holloway: the performance was very good. Fine margins.

Jesus.

Wow!

Clown....and not a funny one either

Tbf he was right inasmuch that ,after the awful first 5 minutes, they didnt create that many chances.
And hes right in pointing out that the real problem is up front and with green, hanson and scannell all injured it only leaves inexperienced youngsters.
But I just dont see the point of continuing to play out from the back,we are not confident or good enough to do it, and the end result is we member it up, generally in potentially dangerous areas

He seems to be saying Macca was dropped because last game he stoped fannying an out with it at the back and kicked it forward too much. Macca is in a real no win situation here - on the one hand Ollie is asking him to do what he can't do, what he doesn't have the skills to do and what will inevitably result in mistakes and goals conceded and matches lost and personal abuse aimed at him. On the other hand when he takes the (correct in my opinion) decision to amend his play (and remember he is captain) so that he doesn't make those mistakes and he gets dropped. It's his worst season since the return to the league by far but it's hardly surprising given the instructions he is under - you need to work to what your players are able to execute. He has gone from a strength for us to a massive liability and he isn't even being allowed to try and correct it.

The thing is even with a keeper who is go9d with his feet as Russell clearly was the fannying about tactic still looks a massive liability. Opposing teams clearly have been coached to take advantage of this glaring weakness and Ollie is like a world war 1 general ordering men to walk at machine guns with bayonets in that he just keeps repeating the same failing disastrous tactic.

I said before if we're going to play out from the back we had to bite the bullet and get rid of Macca as he can't do it. Now starting to think the bullet that needs biting is actually Ollie. Maybe give him these easier games coming up to see how he does in those, but do you trust him with such a decisive window? We are obviously in a relegation battle. Is he the man to turn it around under the current circumstances. He did it last time but he seems to have fallen in exactly the same trap as jolley and massively over complicated things when given his own team.

Christ being a town fan is hard. And I agree with those saying that the real problem lies higher than  Ollie but unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about that at the moment.

Imagine you’re a player, knowing you’ve played sh1t, and the manager comes in and says the team played very well. How can you respect that person or take them seriously?

I thought that. And ironically, that game was one of our better performances. At least we had plenty of opportunities.

nd it's no good the GK making short passes if the team isn't showing up to do anything positive with the ball.
