Super Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Positive must be the second half and Reid and Burns. Start them next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Five points from safety we are deep in the brown stuff , never thought I would want us to be in League 1, but that would be a real bonus at the moment. Hope Cotts can get us some points to avoid the drop, but looking at the way the whole club is being mis-managed can I suggest, to borrow a quote from Maggie, that we go back to our homes and prepare for League 2. Can't remember that quote. I can remember David Steele saying.. 'go back to your constituencies and prepare for govt' .. mind you that was the last thing in the world that was likely to happen unlike our chances of playing DIVISION 4 football next season.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 No. We could always hibernate You are a comedian, 'at least we were difficult to beat under SOD', well apart from the 20 that he did lose, hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Do we really have to put up with three and a half bloody years more of this rubbish. Somebody try to reassure me for God's sake. Not sure it will help your mood but i predict no, we will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonGreat Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Should never have sacked SOD. We played well against Orient and the defence looked organised. Today the players Cotteril has picked dont work and neither does the system. Early days but I believe the sacking was at totally the wrong time and we needed to stick with someone for some time. Yes we should. He was sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 To be fair to Cotterill, he's spoken well on the radio there. He needs to learn fast, Reid is essential and Baldock is a waste of space tbh. Knows what he needs which is good. He won't get away with many more performances like that first half. But he spoke well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Your right it was David Steele, is he still alive? If so I like his confidence, get him in. I believe he is. DOS (Director of Spin) perhaps? lorra larfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire Dastardly Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It's disappointing that in training that SC could not see the benefit in starting Reid, if he has an ambition to press teams then Ried had to start. As said we lost it in the first half. What is truly disappointing and why my initial feelings when Cotterill was appointed have been reinforced is that WE ALL KNEW THAT. After 10 days working with the team couldn't he have worked it out? Furthermore the ideas he had last week with the diamond, Elliot mounting guard over the back 4, Jet ready to pounce behind the front 2, Ryan as target man knocking balls down for Wagstaff & JET, good wing work from Cunningham; all that worked well. I thought I had underestimated the man. Surely with the addition of Reid, things could only get better. How wrong can one be. Hence the despair!

I couldn't give a flying ****, SOD has gone and even though we had a wonderful 10 game run, we were still in a relegation spot, he left us with some very poor signings. SOD had an pathetic record over a 44 game period but, we were expected to back him, the new guy has had one game with the piss poor squad he has inherited and it's all his fault. The hypocrisy is mind numbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Reckon we need to start blooding more of the kids, get rid of the couldn't give a toss attitude and put some real heart in the squad, OK we probably will go down, but it will pay off in the long run, otherwise we will lose them anyway, we have done it before in the lower /lower leagues, and under Cotterill this might be the answer, after all he has a 3.5 year deal. What's really really depressing is you could probably go back 12 months and there'd be similar posts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepers Ball Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Don't pin this defeat on Cotterill. Pin it on that back four AND goalkeeper I dont care if that shot was swirling all over the place. Parish had good sight of it and he coaches through the years have bound to have drummed into him you NEVER parry the ball out away from you As for Flint.No wonder Swindon fans laughed when we signed him.

Cider red Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It was improving, I was so disappointed when the Board lost their bottle, but we are where we are, no good looking back, but we were gelling. I disagree completely. We weren't gelling, we were giving away soft goals, passing it round at the back and getting no where, picking up the odd point and in big trouble. As much as I wanted odriscoll to do well, it wasn't happening. It really irritates me, at tamworth last week the bloke behind me said to his mate 'I hope you brought your neck brace', SOD's team was NOT playing football, was NOT picking up results and was in the relegation zone. We played long today but at least at the end of the game we were going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably the total opposite of what will, in fact, happen; take what Cotts said in the past week and he emphasised the point I highlight: - 'we will only play the youngsters if they are good enough'. Although he is stating the obvious he laboured the point. Then today SL says funds will be made available. So, we sack a manger who was tasked with clearing the decks, had to build a completely new team on a shoe string and that takes months and months to get right. The board bottled it and now proclaim that nothing has changed in their philosophy and at the same time appoint a hoof ball specialist who can spend in the jan transfer window. I mean i think they need help from someone in the political spin department because nobody, but nobody, is buying into their hypocrisy.

Fiale Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Was a poor game, can't help think a lot of the second half performance from Rotherham was due to not only having the wind against them but sheets of rain driving into them.. Much easier to play with that at your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I will have to take your word for the hoof ball I wasn't there, unlike you. Firstly, your sarcasm is very boring. Secondly, if you know anything about how Cotts plays the game you would know that anything other than hoof ball would be a revelation. Thirdly, there were posters on here today and against Tamworth who were watching the match. I'll happily accept that what they were saying is not a fabrication.
