Yeah, let’s pick Eastwood who in the games he’s played this season dropped two clangers. No ta.He does not have a clue, change the team starting with the keeper and let’s see.
He will have a time to sort it before the end of the season, after this he is history.
Yes he is. Started two games and dropped two clangers. Don’t matter who you’ve got in goal anyhow when you’ve got Sam Long & Ciaron brown on current form in front of you.Cumming ? Is Eastwood worse ? I don’t think he is.
And the frightening thing is it’s happened the moment he walked through the door, with no sign that it’s going to improve any time soon
Seeing as Ruben is a fans favourite from what I see & people rave about mcguane as if he’s the second coming of iniesta. Both have been overrated for months & in Marcus’s case, this trajectory has happened before. I’d happily sell him in the summer for a fee. I personally don’t think he’s what we need and I think his head is elsewhere.He got ridiculed for not naming the players.
He has since named the 3 players and with that, those 3 players will get rightly dogs abuse for showing so much disrespect to the club.
Some fan bases would be booing these 3 everytime they touched the ball on Saturday but I can’t see that happening with out fans.
Unless @Leysboy now wants to say he made a mistake and they haven’t down tools then surely we take it as the truth because why else would someone openly name the players?
After what happened with Robinson, I’m prepared to give Des time, unfortunately there are people in our fanbase who have no patience or sense of loyalty. I’ve said it before, if we can’t get behind and support one of our own, what hope have we got for any manager that we bring in.Joshua - the bloke that can support Robinson, while he single handedly dismantled the football club, shagged the womens captain and cheated on his wife but he can’t get behind the team and a manager that has been here for less than 30 games.
Top fan
Waddock was not given enough time and he signed Hylton.Neither were Kemp, Wright, Rix, Talbot, Paterson, Clotet and Waddock.
If you sat through them, but you're refusing to sit through Des......that probably says more about you than it does about the club.
More by luck than judgement imo - we were abject under him -lucky changes at the topWaddock was not given enough time and he signed Hylton.
Well regardless of whether Buckingham is the answer or not, it seems odd to me as well that after some really bad times in the Conference, this is the time to stop supporting the club.So should he have gave up early into his OUFC supporting journey? After 20 years he's seen enough and earned the right to make his judgement, like the majority of us to know Buckingham isn't the answer.
Without some positive results, I really have a problem believing otherwise.Buckingham won't be gone before the end of the season.
It's a shame aswe have some quite decent players obviously Des is not getting the best out of them.Well I’m putting Des alongside Kemp etc. Results aside, this is one of the worst sides, in terms of watchability, that I’ve witnessed in my 53 years a fan. Perhaps it’s my age but a few times, a fair few times in fact, under Des I could have genuinely nodded off. I’ve honestly felt like going home at half time, it’s that mind numbingly boring watching us. I wouldn’t go to an away game under Des if you laid on a taxi and gave me the best seat in the house all expenses paid.
Maybe they should get somebody as part of the SMT who actually knows how to run the footballing side of things and can offer advice and experience on those matters..... Are we confident they have that in place at present?Let's throw something into the mix. Yes, we know Buckingham was handed a three and a half year contract. A deal in stark contrast to the one given to Manning. Is it beyond the realms of fantasy then to suppose that, as a proviso to that 3 1/2 years, the club inserted a clause with performance related targets and have every option to terminate contract should results not meet KPI's?
I suggest this as I always thought the leap from a rolling/short term contract for Manning, to a full on long term deal, for Buckingham, was stretching credibility a tad.
If that is the case then, as @RyanioBirdio has wisely suggested, and he's not usually lead by reading his morning tea leaves, Buckingham could well be gone before season end.
I would, none the less, be very disappointed as I had high hopes for Buckingham. However, this is a results based business and pretty aggressive at that. Perhaps Uncle Timmy will have learnt from the debacle that was KR to be more astute in his dealings with the playing staff?
Steady on! A football club run by people who know about football? Just a tad radical, don't you think?Maybe they should get somebody as part of the SMT who actually knows how to run the footballing side of things and can offer advice and experience on those matters..... Are we confident they have that in place at present?
So just checking - as per your prior instruction, am I to take this with a pinch of salt?I know enough to know that a lot of it is hot air and has no substance to it.
