Whats gone wrong for you lads this season?

[Lionel Hutzz]

Just noticed you're 4th from bottom. You were by a country mile the best team we've played so far this season. Left that game thinking you must have just had a slow start and would be up around the playoffs.

 

[Wallop]

According to our Manager it's:

- Too many injuries
- A bobbly training ground pitch
- Not enough emotional robustness
- Every referee is incompetent and hates us
- Our team don't like playing at home
- We can't take our chances
- We need a striker or two
- He didn't want the Midfielder that we bought who at the time of purchase he was raving about
- Human error in every game
- Northern Ireland pinching our best player for International Duty

My more considered view is:

- We do need a striker and should have secured at least one over the Summer but didn't
- We need to try more than one formation when Plan A isn't working
- We have plenty of good individuals but don't always play as a team
- Certain players fall our of favour too quickly amidst rumours of training ground bust-ups with Management

All the above were/are in the control of our Manager.

That said, we are unbeaten in the last four games and so hopefully have turned a corner albeit with the finesse of an oil tanker.

Who do you support?! Can't remember us being remarkably good in any game!

He said we were by far the best team we played th8s season
I would guess Sunderland as we were very good that day.

Sumed up very well there @Wallop

Probably sent by Methane to say "I told you so"...............

I jest, he`s a Sunderland supporter...........

In answer to the question ............... lack of a goal scorer or target man seems to be the main issue & a fair few injuries.

Long way to go yet.

Is he asking about football?

 

[Wallop]

Yep it's mainly the referee. They might have been incompetent but they have been equally poor for both sides!

Good to see our manager's maintaining his form. FFS.
