how many more points do you think weโd have if the players who arenโt playing for the manager had been pulling their fingers out?
Sounds as if it's on them, not Des, then.8-10 points definitely.
I think these players need to be named and shamed. Fans are turning up, spending a lot of money to come and watch games while they are just sticking 2 fingers up at us.8-10 points definitely.
Steve.
There are problems at the top, that is well publicised. But there is absolutely no excuse for that performance. Just call a spade a spade. Des has 20 odd players to coach, motivate and slap in to a competitive state on a Saturday and heโs not doing it. Heโs had long enough to be better than that. As heartbreaking as it is that the romance of the Oxford boy storyline is dead, heโs failing.

Yeah, but if the players sulk and won't play for him, then that's on them. Most other jobs, they'd get at least a warning, if not the sack.Nope. The managers job is to get the players playing. He hasnโt got it in him.
Sorry, but the local option is a failure.

If I was you, I certainly wouldnโt want to protect them.

The situation is simple - if the Board are serious about promotion he needs to go now and they need to get somebody with nous in - this is the best chance we are going to have and nice Des will never get us upWe get told by the Desmond fan club.
Letโs get players back, and letโs give him the summer.
Heโs got players back, and if we give him the summer window, what makes you think that all of the sudden heโs going to have tactical nous and get a tune out of the players, and show fans he has a game plan.
20 games in heโs not shown me any of those things.
We looked better in the final ten when the players abandoned whatever modern football "plan" desperate Des had and just went for it.Orient deserve that. Sharper and better organised from the off. Our moments of good play were not, because of but, despite of, Des (sorry) when the players instincts kick in. So ponderous, so wasteful, so unimaginative.

If we had 10 more points weโd still be second. Maybe have a word8-10 points definitely.
