  • Did he ? Haha well that's this fucking season written off then. Mighty glad I didn't buy a season ticket. 
    Someone just said on five live: 'we're told to trust the process. What process? What's a process? What's going on?'

    Oh, hang on, that was an Arsenal fan. But......

    I feel for Adkins. He said he wanted his squad sorted before pre-season started, and it's not even sorted two games into the season.
    He walked at Hull because of problems with the owners I think. I really find it hard to believe that he took this job knowing that the squad was going to be underfunded.
  • DJ was woeful, and nothing i’ve seen from him in the last 8 months makes me think he’ll be a success here.
    Washington MOM easily.
  • Hark at the doom and gloom on here.
  • And your only 38
    I wish I was mate.
  • Will be interested to see if Adkins gives two up front a go, to try and make us less one dimensional with the lump it up to stockley tactic. Would that suit our midfielders any more?.
  • Shit employers.  When one of my team lost her father I gave her a week off work immediately as compassionate leave, a couple of days to go to the funeral and time off for counselling over the next few weeks.  I also put additional support in place such as support around her caseload.  I took a relaxed approach to occasional time off (half days, duvet days) in the 3 months or so following.
    I get it but in the same time they didn't sign a life changing contract with a new employer!!!
  • Our midfield, which looked fluid and energetic in the PSF'S, looked disjointed and disconnected today.
    Albie continues to flatter to deceive.
    We completely failed to bring DJ into the game and had little threat from the other side, where Washy and Gunter is mismatch.
    We are not creating anything and we don't threaten the oppo.
    As a result our defence is coming under pressure and are out of ideas bringing the ball out.
    Disappointing day to say the least

    It very much depends on who those midfielders are.

    This team is crying out for a player with the quality of Bannon, who we saw glimpses of last week. But Sandgaard is fixed on the idea of signing youth, a tight budget AND bringing on the youngsters that are already at the club, i.e freebies. That strategy might just work, but for it to work might take a few years as already suggested. Enthusiasm is infectious but a dose of realism soon brings the infection under control. 
  • Just got in from the game and haven’t read the other postings on here.

    I thought we were very poor. The one attacking move is to sling it up to Stockley’s head and see what happens. ( We did  get the penalty from that) There was little or no play through the midfield, need Gilbert and JFC back. Oxford were the better team and deserved the win but they were very niggly, and constantly feigning injury. Weak officials helped them in this.

    Hopefully we will improve when the midfielders return, I just hope that will not be too late to influence our season.

  • It very much depends on who those midfielders are. 
    Yes definitely, more so my point was, how flexible and willing to change things would Adkins be? It’s something we haven’t seen from him yet. Please don’t read this as me having doubts about him though.
  • Not sure we have a drawing board to go back to but will try to stay positive for a few more weeks till the despair kicks in.
  • not not sure how Morgan can be blamed for the first. Yep, he lost the ball which didn’t help but their guy on the left had so much tome to run o to our box and shoot, he should have been closed down a lot earlier
  • On way home , good drink with mates , but, can’t see many positives ? 
    I know it’s early in season but just can’t see us scoring other than penalties, I want albie to do so well for us but he needs help, we create so little and just don’t look threatening at all, even defensively they cut through us at least 3/4 times with ease,
    lots to do to even think about top 6
  • The team we had when promoted would batter this lot, clare and dobson are like a poor mans version of aribo and cullen

  • I fear these new signings are duds, could sense it by watching the game against Sheff Wed. Dobson is brushed off the ball too easily: wrong physique for a central defender. And Clare is anonymous: the game passes him by. Someone said he was "hiding" today.

    Even the keeper - traditionally a strong position for us - is flaky. Muffed an easy shot: 1-0. 'Blow through this league'? Not with these players. Not with Morgan, either: he is clumsy, wasteful, and prone to howling errors.

     
  • Bring back bowyer 
    It’s not that bad!
  • I wish I was mate.
    He was talking about your waist.

    All day long, nailed it.
  • Genuine question - do you believe the squad we started last season with is stronger or weaker than this squad?
    well?
  • Just because a major FTSE company has a complete lack of morals doesn’t mean we have to sink to those lows. 

    The “I suffered so why shouldn’t he” mentality leaves a very cold view of reality
    When my Dad passed at the beginning of December (2004) I was told to take all of December off, not holiday they were giving me a month off.

    Today weren’t good , you can’t dress it up.

    We've had 27 managers in our history, 14 in the last 10 years, we need stability and backing, 5 year plan, it will take 5 years to get out of league one with this lot, nothing in the final 3rd.

    Best thing about today was the vocal support from the Charlton fans, a lot of our players won’t have heard this before from  Charlton fans, glad Nige and the players came across to acknowledge them at the end.
  • That bench was dire defently no game changers there
  • Tactics are non league esque just rush kick and hope longballs
