[Pittsburg Blade]

So apparently, that’s 29 points thrown away from winning positions which would put us level top with Coventry.
We’ve seen it all from lack of communication to unforced errors to sheer incompetence.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I don’t understand how that went so wrong. Bringing Joe Rothwell on was an act of managerial genius matched only by signing him in the first place, so how can this have happened??

 

[GKhantRebel]

Tom Cannon's finish though!
Just saw the replays, outstanding strike.

The ball watching defence, especially in the second half of games is a hige problem that needs solving.

Chesterfield v Cheltenham today with a fine pork pie for HT.

Chesterfield 1 - 0 Cheltenham
Decent game in very blustery conditions
Excellent company
A fine pork pie at HT
Chesterfield know how to defend and see a game out, so it can be done

Steve Cotterill and players ALL acknowledged the 200+ away support even after a loss so that can be done too

IF your manager isn't a 70s throw back mardy arse with no plan B or knowledge to see a game out

Would put us above Coventry as 6 we’re against them so they would be 6 less

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

great… anyway what’s everyone having for dinner tonight

Courgetti Spaghetti!

Must be the “punters” fault

Everything’s fine though. We should bow and scrape because the messiah has done the bare minimum

"Must be the “punters” fault"

Not enuff pashun from the punters, obvs!

 

[jt64]

I've seen four teams this week. We were a distant fourth in terms of composure and quality on the ball. One of those teams is so shit that Benie Traore started for them. Another lost to the Traore team.

 

[pollster]

REALLY looking forward to another infuriating game under the charge of the imbecile who has made a player everyone knows is not good enough to be a regular in a top division 2 team (Davies) look our most consistent player
Simply on the basis the keeper is the one position it is difficult even for this outstanding anti-football vandal to completely F up
with insane formations, tactics, instructions and positional selections.
F off Wilder
F off COH if you cannot tell your r's from your elbows you cretins.

Davies
Binford McGuiness Mee/Sunderland lad
Seriki Peck Rotweiller Burrows
Hamer Bamford (assuming he's been greased this week and can be bothered to move) Brooks

Make the ball do the work
Look forward, look wide
If in doubt get it out
ATTACK the ball
Attack WIDE defend narrow
TURN the defence
WINGERS cross the ball.

'Football is a simple game,
complicated by people who should know better'

appoint a good manager as interim like Warnock
to guide the clubs decisions for nest season
We win that game by 5 or 6 today.

Keep this brain dead imbecile and we will continue to throw away games because
YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE THE BASICS of football (or anything)
despite a manager with the beliefs of a religious zealot, a megalomania and self delusions of grandeur.
eg THE LEFT SIDE OF MIDFIELD
that O'Hare is shite
that Tanganga cannot defend
that Bindon is a RIGHT sided defender
that wingbacks require a 3 at the back
that Inverted wingers is an oxymoron used by MORONS
and destroys teams attacks and weakens the defence.

- as well as those listed above.

'Football is a simple game,
complicated by people who should know better'

 

[SB_90]

never underestimate sheffield united defenders abilty to piss away a certain 3 pts. every time our defensive organisation under pressure is abysmal

 

[Stanley84]

The fitness of this team is bordering on negligent, the drop off after 65 mins is unreal.
Never had a season before, sitting on the kop (never mind what the score is) where absolutely nothing happens after 70 mins

 

[Houston_Blade]

On the plus side, 6 goals is decent entertainment,

Watching Adam Davies and Cameron Burgess fight it out for ‘worst player in the world with the ball at their feet’ was entertaining.

Watching Burrows attempt to defend was entertaining.

Watching us conspire to spurn decent chances was frustrating.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Did we win?

Did he score 4?

 

[BangorBlade]

Another 2 points thrown away.

Wots that now 30 points dropped

 

[Nick Jansky]

Wots that now 30 points dropped

29.

Apart from the oppo scoring each attack.

Bit of a grab that statement mate
Coventry have thrown a few away as well

 

[54yrblade]

His standard, scowl, chest out, deep sniff while staring the interviewer out, zip up training top dramatically and 'it'll be better next season' incoming.

He can't get HIS team fit, can't keep a lead and, given that he was a defender, can't defend

He's had his time and again and again.

The players, and us, need a different voice, style and manager. Its done.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Yeah I know, but it kinda sums up this frustrating season.

He was average as a right back if memory serves.

 

[Nick Jansky]

He was crap as a right back if memory serves.

He wasn’t crap, but he was a bang average lower Championship/L1 standard.

 

[54yrblade]

He was average as a right back if memory serves.

His ego and neediness are writing cheques his ability can't cash any longer, or pay by BACS.

He needs the club now more than we need him. Time he joined his pals in the pub and stands.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

I've come to the conclusion that the current lot are a set of spineless wankers. Clear out required from top to bottom. I'm done.

 

[VictoryBlade]

great… anyway what’s everyone having for dinner tonight

Fish as its Good Friday!

 

[BangorBlade]

29.

Nick wots a point between friends

It’ll just be the same old battle, same old everything. Grateful for the past, absolutely I am. But the field of fucks I give is becoming increasingly barren. We’re mired in “it’ll do”. Those who hanker for better? Blasphemers

Better than being a moaning twat

An honest moaning twat. Thank you. The evidence is all there. The only issue is whether you're willing to see it
