havanatopia Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Bring back Gerkin now. 3 mistakes, 2 from James 1 from Skuse cost 3 goals, awfull. I think it was JCR for the last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Shame I'm going to be out tonight I love the optimistic posters putting a whole new glaze over the inefficiencies of the team. I wonder what it'll be tonight, probably something along the lines of we have had to travel more miles in our pre-season friendlies than Ipswich and we look tired. Some fans will always have blind faith and regard anybody with doubts as a traitor. Much more worrying when the manager is similarly blind.

Andy082005 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yeah good one Millie....wait until 3-0 before you make a change. Midfield over ran and bossed all day before he finally makes a change and brings on our new midfielder. Watching this, no wonder Maynard won't sign and I don't blame him. The powers that be will not free up any funds for new players so he can clearly see we have no ambition. Pathetic City.

havanatopia Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Why was the elusive, ages to wait for, creative midfielder, Kilkenny, not on from the start? Sometimes mind games are just a load of tosh and leaving this guy on the bench is because, he is not our best option? so why buy him when we hear it week in and week out.. we will not bring players in who do not improve what we have. strange one that for me.

Absolutely pathetic Not Keith's fault the tap has been turned off but selection, tactics, organisation and motivation are down to him. Not a promising start and pretty much identical to our first home game last season. If he is the great coach he is said to be it is about time we started to see the evidence surely?

Guest Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is this a case of the manager allowing his heart to rule his head by his loyalty to Marv and Cole, instead of using his head and selecting Kilkenny from the start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect anything from those games at all, mind you thought that before today's debacle. Probably expect a result against one of the division's very poor teams, but only if they're having a bad day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 As I said when Millen was appointed, he's an assistant manager at best, he doesn't have the connections to make decent signings and he's not tactically smart. I'm expecting relegation battle this season and if I'm told "oh stop complaining" then I'll simply laugh off the fact that whilst some say our fans are moaners, some would say our other fans are happy to go no-where.

Ison Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Not sure why Keith, or we, would expect the same bunch of players to have turned into world beaters over the summer.. Strange that the one substantive signing we have made does not make the team mind you. More of the same seems to be the master plan then. If you always do what you've always done you'll always get what you've always got. I was going to write something along these lines but this guy's absolutely nailed it. Anyone who expected anything from this fixture is completely deluded. A) we're as shit as ever and B) they're not. We need to be looking seriously at beating teams like Doncaster and Peterborough (forget their performances today) for the points that keep us in this league, not competent teams like Ipswich who will be comfortably top-half/playoffs come the end of the season. Anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 whether you like it or not, without money men dipping into their pockets, we will have to shift Maynard and buy some defenders... the fact that we are still talking about the same deficiencies a year on is unbelievable ... poor, poor, management at all levels...

screech Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is this a case of the manager allowing his heart to rule his head by his loyalty to Marv and Cole, instead of using his head and selecting Kilkenny from the start? The problems are the same as they were last season, no new players = no different performances. You can't polish a turd. We will win some and lose some, I fully expect to be safe this season and see where Keith takes us next season when he will have chance to get his squad together. I can't blame Millen at all until he is picking from his squad, end of this season there will be somewhere in the region of 8 players out of contract, we will see what sort of team and playing style he can bring to the field then.

Matty-H Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Only one game, but I'm wondering how the optimists will gloss over this. Everything that was diabolical about our defense last season without Caulker, all on display again. As for the expansive attacking threat and high scoring games, give me a break. Keef had better hope he brings in a couple of players before the end of August or it will cost him his job because this side is piss poor at defending, and doesn't look any good going forward either. Deja vue? Bloody right. Nothing has changed. Literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
