Curr Avon Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 The team aiming for the play-offs dragged themselves down to the level of relegation fodder. City were truly awful and a season that promised a top six finish is ebbing towards mid table mediocrity. Mark Ashton must be scouting on Instagram and has failed Lee Johnson, the club and fans with poor signings in January. Walsh and Kent are players that need a pre season and Diony looks like a booby prize in a raffle. Today, the music died. I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no longer sure what the philosophy is. It's been absent for so long that I'm not confident that.. A) Johnson knows why it works when it works or B) why it doesn't work when it doesn't. Hence we can't arrest the slump. Still, I'm glad we ain't going up. That would rip the soul out even more imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsh is battling with Pack and Smith, tough pair to force your way past. Kent won’t get a pre-season here, he’ll be somewhere else Diony has disappointed me after the brief promise he showed v QPR. We were poor again today, no one can disagree with that. Johnson needs to find the reason. Whatever he said after PNE, we weren’t great there either. Home form is ok, away from home we’ve become a soft touch again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’re far off being a good side at this level. Injuries, fatigue, and lack of depth are what’s cost us imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our stand out players were players who were here before Johnson was. Kind of says it all doesn't it? Pack, Flint, Smith, Bryan, Reid? So that's nearly half the team? Which one of those are going to stay in the summer? Do you trust Ashton and Co to replace them? I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Sanchez is being paid half a million a year but has been awful for Man U after playing 5 or 6 full games Diony has played a few games as sub and has been awful but for some reason Johnson and Ashton getting slated for the LOAN signing. Transfers are always a gamble. Looks a good fit and it either doesn’t work out or it takes time to adapt. Diedhiou was poor when he started as was Kodja.

At this level, I think the things that we are not good at (seeing games out, the dark arts, etc) take you a lot further than the things that we are good at (pretty one-touch football, in patches). Our pressing game looked great at times, but we can’t sustain it over 90 mins and I think teams worked that out long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying they are not responsible, I’m just saying every loan or transfer is a gamble and my point with sanchez is that the biggest manager from the biggest club have brought one of the best players from the same league paying him the biggest wage and at the mo he looks awful. It takes time to settle even for a player that is used to the prem so with Diony it will take time to see if he is any good. They will know that by how is in training.
