They make a very good point. PEP, it's obvious that the flood every player back isn't working, because we invite more players into the box. Make some changes to how we play, we are too predictable.

 

[Jason N]

It sounds to me like Pep has been listening to the criticism and decided to say that it wasn't good enough.

I know he's Spanish but he does sound out of his depth. If that is how he communicates with the players in training, no wonder they're not grasping the basics of defending.

 

[Peterdev]

He’s going nowhere with us. Should be despatched before the new year. I have not been this disappointed since the names Kemp and Talbot were mentioned as potential,managers.
I seriously think Lampard would make a good choice if he was backed. At least he would have some decent connections with Chelsea. I’ve heard there are 40/50 of their younger players are out on loan and he must have some idea of what they might be like

 

[Concretebob]

I want pep to succeed. I really do. But I just feel he is out of his depth.

Targeting 50 points after some fantastic seasons under Appleton is a bit of a comedown.

 

[Sarge]

Fockuss ?... learn from mistakes?....of course you do Clotet.That's why your limited tactics involve loading our pen area with 11 players defending every set piece, and still conceded sloppy goals! May be radical but how about one on the centre circle and two outside our pen area and maybe,just maybe the ball won't come straight back into our penalty area and we could perhaps mount a counter attack? ....not that I know anything about the technical side of the beautiful game of course

 

[Peterdev]

The way we’re going that’s what we will end up with.....and go down.
I too want h8m to succeed but after Wigan the guy is completely out of his depth.
Hopefully we will hear the news we want soon, and can start to look at potential candidates.
Mentioned Lampard, but another contender I’d like to see is Simon Grayson. Proven experience at this level

 

[Essexyellows]

You’re happy with the current situation?
It’s the likes of you that kept that other disaster, patterson in a job long enough to drag us into the gutter.

@Mellowyellow and what genius "instant fix" have you got? I don`t play the game,manage the team or own the club.....at a guess neither do you..... so rattling your gums on a small desert island of a forum will achieve precisely nothing.

1, yes in total agreement but has Eales the balls to do it?
2, I forgot about them and I did for a reason now you've brought their names back up. Go and sit on the naughty step.
3, Scum boasted last season of getting in 3 Chelski youth on loan as far as I'm aware they're not with Chelski anymore as will not a majotiy of the 40/50

Dropping down the league Tim! How far away are those rocks

And errm, you are here for what reason?

 

[bazzer9461]

We need everything sorted in January Eales gone?
Pep sacked ?
Takeover what’s happening?

 

[North Wales Yellow]

Thought it was a good open game of football. We were fortunate to still be in it at half time thanks to Eastwood, but equally could have easily nicked a point second half.
Would like to see Pep try a 4-4-2 diamond, similar to Bradford. We don't have the pace to play with out and our wingers and it would allow Payne to play with two up top.

You really want us to struggle from hereonin so you can say ‘told you so’ don’t you Sean?

Bit sad.

Don’t comment on games I don’t attend but it sounded like they were hanging on at the end.

Cue the seriously unfunny 'fockus' jokes.

 

[Notaswindonfan]

I’ll focus on the fact we lost, one point out of a possible nine so far over the festive period.

 

[Shosho]

Sounded like our greatest hits once again:

Start slowly - tick
Concede in the first 20mins - tick
Poor game management - tick
Concede from crosses in to the box - tick

Same old.

When was our last decent performance?

Plymouth away maybe?

Plymouth away maybe?

When they were down to 10 after 15mins?

We started the season high energy, pressing, going at teams.

Im not even fussed about the results, just want to see some indication as to a game plan.

It's nice sentiment and everything, but isn't his social media outsourced to a PR company?
Did anything come on Twitter after Wigan?
