Get the feeling reading will come out all guns blazing we will survive until about 15 minutes then go on to lose 3-0 we will have 1 shot on target and get our only corner 5 minutes from the end, every team will target the left side of our defence and I don't know how we can address this Taylor Moore very one paced and prone to make mistakes and Vyner seems to lack concentration and prone to make mistakes and Kalas must be thinking why did I leave Chelsea to play here, but these are the players we have and they can't stop us shipping goals if we let in 2 we will lose and if its 1 we might scrape an unlikely draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gone on to talk about the football club, trying to deflect the attention away from your inept manager. Don't try and drop your Rugby club into it, especially when you've gone out and got one of the best coaches around for them, and given us the bargain basement option in the hope that it works - don't compare the two!!

Problem is that he’s gone in as nightwatchman after tea on the fourth day, when the wicket was breaking up on the first morning when we were 6 down for no runs before lunch but we’ve gone into the match with 6 seamers and no spinners in the team, hamstring injuries mean that bowlers are opening the batting and half the team need runners when batting.

ohhhshauntaylor Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Having listened to DH full interview- first of all- fair play Gregor. You could almost hear the atmosphere, he was straight to the point and asked the difficult questions, not “what did you get your misses for Valentine’s Day”. DH is a man on the Edge, and I agree with @Olé that whilst his well documented personal tragedy is just that, bows not the time to point to that as “I’ve been through tough times in my career and life” (I’m not for 1 second downplaying what he and his family went through). and as @Davefevs alludes to, it’s all “I’m leader, that’s not good enough” there is no proof of him actually having a plan to change our results- in DH’s world, hard work will prevail. That’s fine, but if you’re constantly setting up a team that’s unbalanced and has 3-4 shots per match, 1-2 of those on target, you can be the hardest working team in the world, but you won’t win. DH says he won’t pull any punches and will be honest, but doesn’t like the reality of facts delivered to him. from listening to SL- fair play, he came out and fronted some pretty tough/direct questions. there wasn’t a vote of confidence, to me it sounded like he was accepting it’s not enjoyable to watch, and no where near good enough, and his 15 mins gave me more belief than DH. Lose tomorrow night and I think the change comes before Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to SL the interviewer did ask him directly about the Bears and specifically about the contrast in experience between DH and Pat Lam, so he had to ralk about the rugby.
