[SittingontheBall]

The first stage of the strategy is working - we are failing quickly.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

I've been extremely lucky with today's game, it's not on Viaplay.Fi so I don't have to put myself through watching it.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Dire. Absolutely dire.

Manager setting up the team to fail
Players don't want to play for the shirt or the manager.

Hamer and Robinson more interested in arguing with the referee.

We have no height, so we can't defend set pieces, but at the same time we're just hoofing the ball forward.

Peck doesn't want to be here. Lost the ball and then jogged back for that late chance
Hamer charged the whole length of the pitch and then didn't bother to come back

Campbell doesn't want to know
Cannon is terrible and can't play in the position he's playing in. Neither he no Godfrey no where to stand.

There's no movement off the ball. Peck eternally turns on a curve on his right foot. More often than not, backwards.

There's no energy. No one seems to know what they're doing. At least Barry is having a go but what's the point when you have forwards who stand next to their marker?

Feel sorry for Godfrey tbh. Bet he wonders what he's walked into.

Hamer blowing up at the lino. May be better employed having a shot instead of the shit he's dished up so far.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Needs to be chucking tea cups and football boots at players heads at half time really after that.

 

[Montytheblade]

Get rid.

 

[BritishSteel]

Cannon needs subbing.

Soumare needs to be on.

Push Gus further up where he can actually affect the game.

Midfield is soft as shit.

 

[Addison]

Relegation form already. Players look lost, line up is ridiculous. No DM and Cannon on the right wing.

Just what exactly are we supposed to be playing? Wheres the high press we were told was going to happen. The players have reverted to wilder ball, slow build up, sideways passes, little triangles going nowhere. Are they ignoring the manager? Has he lost them already?

Hamer hard to work out what hes supposed to be doing. Peck again going round in circles losing possession. Only positive is Godfrey looks ok but he must be wondering what hes let himself in for. Wall playing exactly the same game they did last season. Bang it long down the right and rough us up. You didnt have to be an expert to work that out but it seems the manager and coaching staff are oblivious to it. When are we going to change it around and get up the pitch at pace. Half time subs will tell us how the next 45 minutes are going to pan out, maybe even the rest of the season

 

[paidsy]

Peck & Cannon shouldn't be on the pitch 2nd half.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Well… Mr Selles… Millwall started abysmally, and yet we decided to ‘try’ and play out from the back time and time again getting nowhere, eventually Millwall grew in confidence and got the goal. We’ve done this to ourselves!
We have no game plan, no endeavour, no spirit… what exactly is the game plan here? Cos god knows if anyone can see one!
I wanted a change from Wilder I can’t lie… but if you go for that then you have to bring someone in who knows what they are doing! Selles looks absolutely clueless… and that’s me biting my tongue!

Sounds like Selles has lost the dressing room already

 

[Champagneblade]

Hitting Xisco levels of incompetency.

Maybe the player think they’ll get Chris back if they down tools for the new guy?

 

[harrry1990s]

Genuine question: when will they get rid of Salles?

 

[paidsy]

Genuine question: when will they get rid of Salles?

Soon I'm afraid

 

[Aston max]

4-2-3-1 it works and these lads are used to it

 

[Hackey Blade]

We have to fuck this Spanish twat off now there’s no cohesion whatsoever, you can see by a mile the players don't believe in this system

 

[Nagima]

433 doesn't work with those players. The 3 up top means we are stretched length wise. Campbell isn't able to make the runs into space on a counter attack as Barry and Cannon are wide. With the short kick out it stretches more. It leaves big holes in the middle of the pitch for Millwall to play through. 442 with Soumare and binning Cannon is the way to go

 

[toledo]

My conclusion after 2 1/2 games? This team will struggle all seaon and there is a strong possibility of relegation because after todays first half wretched and turdid performance, I honestly don't see where this team can change things around... Millwall are only mediocre and we are a disaster..

[Uganda Blade]

I've been extremely lucky with today's game, it's not on Viaplay.Fi so I don't have to put myself through watching it.

Ditto!

 

[Red Hot Currie]

Said it last week... get fucking rid now. Not agenda against Selles but he's got no experience to note and he's been introduced into a car crash of a situation by our basket case owners. Fucking clueless all round.

Simply cannot imagine that we'd be here with Wilder in charge. And, no, I've not wet my bed. I've just looked at the cold facts.

UTB

 

[harrry1990s]

Soon I'm afraid

Really? These guys must have had a reason to get him in the first place. Who is going to come in now with no pre-season?

 

[Champagneblade]

Imagine your first two home games.

Scored 1, conceded 5.

Your first 4 games.

Scored 2, conceded 8.

And you’re supposed to be one of the favourites.

And you’ve played a team that finishes 22 points behind you, a promoted team, a team that finished about 25 behind you and a team that finished even further back.

We’ve not even played a good team yet!

Manager, players, Board; simply no excuse for this!

 

[paidsy]

Really? These guys must have had a reason to get him in the first place. Who is going to come in now with no pre-season?

You can't leave this to fester any longer can you? We also aren't getting anything from Boro or Ipswich under him. 6 games in all comps and 6 L's at that point. Change it now.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Imagine a world where your expected goal xG is actually lower than Wednesday's is today, you are the ones playing at home, and you actually have a first team squad of players

Someone wake me up please

 

[The Crab]

I had hope and optimism, new board, promising manager.

It’s gone, it really has

 

[paidsy]

0 changes after that half is dereliction of duty

 

[SLB]

I said when he was appointed that this club and it's associated expectation is simply too much for him. He should be relieved of this pressure for everyone's sake , not least of all his own.

 

[jt64]

Sounds like it was a good choice to go watch my local team at Maltby instead. That said, we're one down as well

 

[harrry1990s]

If they wanted rid of Wilder there were better options available. Edwards, for example. Maybe we’ll go for Danny Rohl and he’ll save us from relegation.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Sounds like Selles has lost the dressing room already

Well it's not under the sink, I was under there earlier looking for Bangtango.

 

[Thrice]

How much would we have to pay Preston to get Hecky back?

I'm only half joking tbh. I miss Hecky.
