Esmond Million's Bung Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 The starting 11 was not a team of kids as is being claimed by some who are making excuses for SOD. 7 of the starting 11 have made well over 100 league appearances, 3 of those over 300 and 3 more over 150 of the other 4 1 has made over 70 appearances another about 50, another over 30 only Williams has made a small amount of starts. There was more than enough experience on display tonight. and all the bullshit over the crowd is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've heard a rumour that we're trying to break a world record for the amount of time being spent in relegation zones. Don't shoot the messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 There is no quick fix for this. We can't spend any money. We are starting from scratch. It's going to hurt. But if we stick together and encourage not discourage our players we might just get there quicker. It's no coincidence our performances are getting edgier by the week. The confidence is sapping out of these players. What's the alternative? Sack SO'D? Have another manager trying to remodel another squad? Over spending got us into this pickle.

We all know that but bullshit excuses from SOD and fundalmentalist fans aren't helping the mood. it was not a team of kids tonight, it was not the fans fault for the performance and quoting SOD's mythical impeccable record elsewhere is just bullshit.

BITW Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Our winless run stretching back to last season is approaching 20 games. Surely no one can defend that record regardless of our so called transition. Has to be the longest in the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right there 35% win ratio throughout his career less than average i'd say, wouldn't you? and something like 25% for us, how would you describe that. i've been in a good mood all day mate and even at the final whistle I was happy and relieved, but his mind numbing interview has changed all that, with respect.

When was the last time you were at a game? The atmosphere is appalling. I'm not surprised our players are on edge. It's counter-productive. We have a better chance of winning away at the moment.

It's counter-productive. We have a better chance of winning away at the moment. And how many games has SOD won away since being in charge of us? The atmosphere is #### because we haven't won in freakin months, we let in a goal at least every game, and the performance rfegardless of personnel is a shambles. Seriously what do you expect?? And dont give any of this bull about typical city fans. This would be the same at ANY club with the dire run of terrible performances and results that we are being subjected to for god knows how long now.

Why won't you tell me when you last watched a City game? I presume I'm right in saying you haven't been for 10?? Years ?

So why are you always on such a downer, you should be happy not having to watch us struggle. 2 things Bill last week we crossed swords and you never answered any questions I put to you at all which i've come to expect as par for the course from you, annoying isn't it and secondly your presumptions are completely wrong, far more recent than that, but then didn't you put some sort of crazy bet on last season, so i'm not surprised really at your presumptions. Not on a downer I was happy all day, looking forward to the first game against opposition we could beat (well according to the masses) I was even happy and relieved at the end of the game and then unfortunately listened to some dirge about white and pink elephants in the room and how the crowd made it more difficult because professional footballers did what the crowd wanted and not what he had coached them to do and how in reality he should have taken Jet off, sort of took the shine off it all really.

REDOXO Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I was going to post on this thread but its getting toxic already! However as I have now anyway. This club has had to start at the bottom. We have had years of people whining about crap football, crap managers and crap players, yet here we are whining again in a division lower...So we can see where it leads Now we are playing our lads from our accademy plus a gaggle of kids brought here...Yes we have some with experience, but its a team they have to settle and have to gel. SoD is here until January AT LEAST!....Unless we are ridiculously adrift at the bottom earlier, so we all best just get used to it! My thoughts are this is the best manager since GJ and left alone will turn us into a good club with a structure in place, but this is early days and the confidence is shakey due to the rub of the green and an awful performance on saturday and a crappy one today....However we scored and all of a sudden the mood changed on and off the field. We need a break and a win, thats all! As for SoD's record...He has been brought into clubs like Bournemouth and Doncaster that many supporters would feel are smaller than us and yet they both play at another level....Is this evidence that the style works for the long-term...Maybe....but lets face it Crawley and NF both tthought to bring the bloke in and they both knew what they were getting... So stick with the plan....Leave the win records to the statoes as clubs building for the future will get a few beatings and trust that the bloke does know what he is doing! Or alternatively play golf on saturday until we have a few wins...no heart attacks please?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best post on this thread and I agree my point is that SOD and some fans need to stop hiding behind excuses and untruths, that was as experienced a team that pretty much anyone in this league could have put out tonight, it was and is not a team of kids for starters in fact I suspect Shrewsbury had less experience than us tonight and trying offset some of the blame on the crowd will end up being counter productive IMO, his post match interview was a shambles.
