Send the loan players back and play next year's squad

[Vancouver]

If they're not going to be here next year stop playing them and start playing the ones who will be. Think of this like a pre-pre-season.

How much is a taxi to Sunderland?

What ever it is,I'll pay it to send that lump Nyron back.

He wouldn't get a game on Graves bastard Park.In fact,that's unfair to my fellow Sunday League club secretaries...because even they know there are better players in the Sunday pub sides that play there than this so called professional.

Yep drop them all, with the exception of Mattock, at least he has something to offer.

 

[sheffielder]

I don't care if we have to pay them all till the end of the season they all have to go. Can we get our money back on Collins and Doyle

Appalling

We have contracted Collins, Doyle, Simonsen, Quinn, Monty, Henderson, Cresswell, Evans for another 1-2 years.

Other than maybe Evans and possibly Henderson; noone will take any of them. We are stuck with them.

The signings of Collins, Doyle, Bent and Mattock truly were head shaking. 4 dreadful players. Collins and Doyle's signing alone are just bewildering and shows me Adams does not have a clue.

The performance was awful tonight. Cannot believe others feel we did ok. We could have lost 7 or 8-1. We really were totally outclassed. The back 4 were terrible with Collins and Nosworthy having a contest to see who could make the most mistakes. Mind you noone played well further up the field either. Simonsen probably the only one who comes out with any credit.

His body language tonight says it all. I dont think he has a clue and other than the Leeds game and a smattering of half decent performances earlier in his reign (games we still lost); his reign has been an utter disaster.

We are down now but the silence from Mr McCabe says it all. Birch will leave at the end of the season and then it will be left to the carpet man to sell off the remainder of the assets and further asset strip the club.

I am afraid it will get worse before it gets better. I now would settle for anything around mid tabler but Wednesday struggles (with a far superior squad) suggests we could go down another division yet.

My fear is that it'll get worse but won't get better. We couldn't attract investment when we were half decent, who in their right mind would want to invest in this fucking debacle of a club?

They have one thing going for them and that's the fans, and they're even shitting on them so sorry to be the dark angel, I fear for the future of this club (can't call it my club anymore), I really do think we're fucked.

It certainly will be a long time before we visit Loftus Road again.

What! QPR in the Johnson's Paint thingy?

 

[Pinchy]

At least we can now reflect calmly on where we are going. Surely Quickfix Micky's embarrassingly wretched reign sounds the final death-knell for 'upanatem' football? Mr. Pemberton, your time is near. Godspeed.

I suppose, though, that some of you will cling on for dear life to your heroic plodders, kidding yourselves they can perform at Division Three level. Let's be clear - the top teams in that League will have us chasing shadows in the old familiar way.

fucking amen mate.. best post for years.

Is it the manager or the club that has the reputation for direct football?

Look at Warnock now with his QPR team and the football they play - not too dissimilar to the football we played in the promo to prem season - but Utd were tarred with the long ball brush and yet QPR are silky and swift and can pass the ball around.

Lot of crap is spoken about styles of play. Good players dictate whether you can play or not - obviously we cannot since we have few if any players that could be described in that way.

If Pembo inherited this lot he wouldn't be able to do anything with it either. Most of your posts Pinchy are around - the King is dead. Long live the King. In truth the malaise is far deeper than that, the chief protagonist being the shocking decisions McCabe made on who should run the ship. I don't question the wedge he has put into the club - he is not making any profit out of it despite what the know nowts harp on about (no one makes money in football) but the decision to appoint Robson was catastrophic.

[muttsnuts]

Wouldn't it be great if we played the rest of the season with the academy kids and everybody got behind them no matter what the score, and what an embarrassment for the so called first team 'pros'

 

[super_pig]

>Good players dictate whether you can play or not
and we don't have any .. so you have to resort to 'positional football' (also known as hoofball) that relies on percentages.. not skill

 

[Pinchy]

Sorry Kenilworth, I don't agree.

How many times have we seen so-called inferior clubs [often from lower leagues in cup competitions] with no money and players who are not household names in their own front rooms, completely outplay our plodding heroes?

They pass the ball and move into space to receive it again. It's quite simple but it baffles the inept bunch who manage and play for our club.

It will happen again next season in Division Three. Just watch.

Mmmmm, who were the last ones to do this? Part Vule, or Vole or something....

Which of those players has 1 year left and which have 2? I don't necessarily believe him but Henderson was quoted at weekend as saying he owes SUFC and wants to stay regardless of what section we're in next season. I do wonder if any potential buyers will want to see him prove his fitness in the first few months of the season before they come in for him.

 

[broomhillblade]

Returning to the subject of this thread - a good idea in principle, but a shade too early. If we win on Saturday and Palace lose, then the gap will be 4 points with 6 matches to play. Not a situation where we want to experiment with youngsters.

If the results go the opposite way, and we find ourselves 10 points adrift, then by all means send the loan players back.

 

[Pinchy]

Good point and yes they did. Maybe Adams has been reading this forum and heard that:

We :heart: Hoofing.

Didn't take me long, did it?

I don't think it's bafflement. Quinny and Lowton are the only ones with the energy and short distance pace who can actually do it. The rest just don't have either the pace nor, it would seem, the energy.

I don't have much, if any, faith in Adams but I am sure that he can see this and it would do us no good to try and play pass and move football with all the lumbering lummoxes we have stuffed our side with. The personnel is the problem. Until that changes, talk of tactics and footballing philosophy is moot.

Hmm, now where have I heard that in the not too distant past before....

The ever so average Gary Naysmith said it as he was nearing the end of his £1M per year contract and shortly before he fucked off to lower division Huddersfield.

UTB

 

[bricktop]

I thought Naysmith was a lot better for us than people made out.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Didn't Paddy K say something similar...

 

[alcoblade]

He wasn't bad. But just like lots of other players we've signed over the last 5 years, he was worth about a fifth of what we paid him.

UTB

 

[Balham]

I thought Naysmith was a lot better for us than people made out.

He was good but not spectacular. Certainly not worth anywhere near the wedge he was on given our finances.

Same goes for Darius Henderson; if he wants to stay to repay his debt to the Blades then he should take a £10k pay cut with a bonus if we're promoted next season.

heh.. took the words right out of my mouth .. henderson staying because he owes us?.. that is like giving a manager the full backing of the board
