Nogbad the Bad

I generally agree with what you say but Sod had and has talents as a manager no but coach yes. The question is could we get anyone better and that remains to be seen. I would prefer to have done what forest did but in reverse and kept Sod as coach ( if he was willing ) and bring in a motivator and face for the camera. I didnt believe Cotts was that man or is it that man but want him to prove me wrong. Losing at the press briefing was a worry as is two compilations all be it to the leaders.

In an ideal world maybe that could've worked, even though it must be said we really didn't see much evidence of SO'D's coaching talents on the pitch.

If you read SL's comments after SO'D's departure though it seems clear he couldn't remain at the club in any capacity.

I didn't expect anything from these two games so I'm no more pessimistic about our chances than I was on Friday.

Yeah, I'm in no way defending the previous Manager and his poor record - it is quite indefensible.  But, had Fielding not had that mad moment v Bradford, Fonts not effed up a simple ball over the top v Cov, Baldock slotted into an empty net away at MK, Balders again put his chance away at Gills, Flint not passed it to Lee Hughes at Vale, Waggy not unnecessarily bundled over his man in injury time at Crewe then SOD might easily have had an extra 10 points on the board and things looking healthier.

 

I've mentioned many times during Sod's reign how the player errors were telling - and that it was the more experienced players making these errors, but it was a futile argument according to most on here.

 

All's I'm now suggesting is that the anti-Sodites bleated on and on about Sod being responsible and yet now all we're hearing from the Cotterettes is how the players individual errors are to blame, when in actual fact, the situation is exactly the same - ergo, was a change at the top necessary?

 

Folks on here can't have it both ways - either the players are at fault or the manager is at fault, not one or the other depending on who you like.

It wasn't just this season with SO'D.

The club was dying on his feet with him as manager, twenty five hundred STH's had given up the ghost and stopped attending.

As well as all those who hadn't renewed due to the disgraceful lack of fight shown by his players in the act of ignominious relegation.

He absolutely HAD to go, his negativity was strangling the club, and a downward spiral seemed certain to continue.

Whether we've got the right replacement is another matter which only time will prove one way or another.

I was not referring to Adam; he is not the 'commentator'.

'Adam' is not the commentator but he was particularly lacklustre and monotone tonight.

'City definitely on top' Hoskin says.

Thankfully we're being spared the screecher tonight.

Corner to City after Wiliams run.

Gillett booked for foul on Logan.

Jet will definitely be starting against Cartlisle, according to Cotts.,even if Barnett and Baldock score hatricks tonight.

Him and Reid being rested, no more to it than that.

Personally speaking - not when we're playing bloody Wolves!!

Dicko cross shot hits Elliot and flies in to the net.

 

Chance came from woeful Williams clearance.

Commentators now corrected themselves.

Definitely Wiliams OG after his 'appalling clearance' led to Dicko's cross shot.

Dicko cross shot hits Elliot and flies in to the net.

Nah, I'd just end up repeating myself every ******* week

Not a fan of the match thread then?

You're certainly not adding anything to it.

Tucked in the corner confidently by Baldock. 

1-1 COME ON CITY, STUFF THESE WOLVES ********!

Penalty for City, Cunningham brought down in the box.

Gillett long range shot well over the bar.

I still think we will win, wolves goal could have been an equaliser save a good stop from thier goalkeeper from BR shot

Didn't sound like Reid's effort really troubled the keeper at all tbh.
