Who saw that coming because I certainly didn’t

Ha Ha Ha

 

[Cuypers]

We get to the 18 yard line stop go backwards no movement player's tripping over each other it's like keystone cops. What exactly is our set up / style of play?

That’s my issue too. I wish someone would explain it to me.

 

[bruce]

How can we have not managed a shot this second half? How can we have not managed a single shot on target out of 6 efforts? It’s lazy football.

This is so poor. Two shite teams we took 6 points from last season and year on year we’re taking zero from 6 so far.

I accept that we have inflicted damage on ourselves to some degree by getting rid of key players with no replacements in sight. However, this team should still be performing better than it is.

What’s Steve Cooper up to these days

Very valid point.

We drew at home to BC last season. Still, your points stands - it’s very poor.

 

[Stevo71]

Defence is all over shank fuckin' weck up

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Slav all over again

That would be an improvement on this sh1t sandwich

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Louie Barry looks like a League 1 player

 

[Lawrence]

Cannon and Ona’ for god sake!

 

[SLB]

That’s my issue too. I wish someone would explain it to me.

I really like Selles in interviews but unfortunately there's no evidence of what he says in our actual play

 

[Davalon]

What’s Steve Cooper up to these days

Joking apart he'd have been my choice this summer. No idea if he'd have come though.

 

[harrry1990s]

We need to be a few more points behind promotion before he comes to salvage us. I reckon give it three weeks.

Last 9 league games as it stands

Won 1.
Drawn 2.
Lost 6.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

No height so let's put in a looped cross at a corner. There are no words

 

[skegblade]

Peck fukin rubbish

 

[MartBlade]

It’s almost as if we’ve brought in a manager with absolutely no experience of managing a top side in the Championship.

 

[skegblade]

 

[harrry1990s]

Middlesbrough went for Rob Edward’s, we went for a Salles.
I think we know where this ends.

 

[Champagneblade]

Last 9 league games as it stands

Won 1.
Drawn 2.

And we’re supposedly run by analytical types.

Surely this points to needing to boost the squad to prevent a negative trend.

How is that done by further offloading key players and bringing in only temporary unproven players to the group?

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Peck needs dragging off. This has been a lundstrum type performance

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

I makes me wonder if the players got away with crap under Wilder and Selles is the other way. They're clearly not playing for the Manager that's obvious. I do feel sorry for Selles in a way. I do want him to succeed. But he's got hopeless owners and certain arseholes on the pitch taking the piss.

It's won 2, drawn 1, lost 6.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Peck on a 1/10 performance at the moment, he’s been shocking,

 

[Champagneblade]

Yes it sounds entitled but with this set of opening fixtures we should have been sat at the top worh six points and theough to the next round of the League Cup.

They’re very favourable fixtures.

How are we going to do against Leicester, Southampton if this is the display against these two?

We’ve given the likes of Boro a 6 point head start.

I’m fucking livid at the club, players, management, Board.

8 shots and not a single one on target. I’d have them in tomorrow shooting practice until they couldn’t strike another ball. How are you supposed to score if you can’t even hit the target?

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Peck on a 1/10 performance at the moment, he’s been shocking,

They are all 1/10

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Peck on a 1/10 performance at the moment, he’s been shocking,

He's another one who thinks he's better than he is. The first £5 million bid I would get shut. He doesn't want to be here.

 

[Lawrence]

We are in deep shit! No back line, no forward line, no midfield. AI looking good#
