petehinton Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I honestly wouldn't read anything into it. The guy is just spouting shit because he's honestly out of ideas. I know for a fact the players are tight knit and all get along. You'll see 5/6 of them together at Starbucks in Cabot on a Wednesday morning. Fair play though, one of the weirdest excuses I've ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonG666 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Surely when they are together training day in, day out they are getting to know each other and bonding and that's before the shower session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ahhh. I get what he was trying to say. Madam Matthews (gonna leave the autocorrect in) didn't recognise any of his team mates hence passing it to the Fulham player for the 2nd goal, therefore they need to socialise more.

Olé Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 They'll socialise when you quit. Only news here is he has found another passive aggressive way to work a dig at the players into his interview. The amount of excuses he tries to slip in is pathetic. It is always subtle and sly but there is always a little signal that it is anyone but him. To be honest, even if it was anyone but him (which it isn't), we are so far beyond it being safe to consider him immaterial to the results we are producing, that there are literally zero excuses.

The guy continues to stagger me. I once said I could listen to Johnson all day long. Tonight as I was driving home, I needed petrol, but I didn't want to stop and miss his post-match interview. Eventually got to the nearest station to home, so had to stop, and sat in the car at the pump (getting looks from the staff) at 10;34 as LJ came on. I listened for about 90 seconds, and then decided to get out and fill up. I don't think he even came out fighting. Sad. Please, can we do something to just survive this season.

Was going to say your view Dave gave me some hope but , Firstly , I assume if we drop there will be another big turniver of players and have to be honest I'm not convinced - they , virtually to a man lack real character or backbone and I'm not convinced to a significant degree by any of the signings It is difficult to judge as the spirit / fight has apparently gone , confidence is nil and they don't respect the coach Again hope you're right mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't bad players, they need someone to galvanise them. Also, it appears he's allowed groups of players to form? I won't use the word clique, but they might just be natural groupings, it happens. But he's lost the togetherness of Cotts's tiny squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept away from the new signings debates Dave , save to say on the day that DC would be the best of the lot (Last minute emergency !) but as a bloke who understands dressing rooms Did you think it was the best idea to bring in 3 foreign recruits at this time Unfair on them for a start When thinking about cliques I thought back to your moment that you changed your mind about LT (Very astute in your obs and perception I'd say) Cliques - hmmmmm Bet we could have a good go at their formation or not far off !

Davefevs Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Didn't mind Hegeler, as a one off. Giefer wasn't needed. Lucic or Fielding. Would bring Frankie back in on Saturday. Djuric is better than Wilbs, but Tammy doesn't play well with him. We only need to play one up top. If Taylor was on our radar, why not go with Tammy, Wilbs, Taylor and Engvall....with McCoulsky as a back up, or Paterson. Does Wright count too...Aussie! @BigTone condensed answer - No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inactive user Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I was repeatedly mocked in this forum for being opposed to the approach to January signings. I am worried that my concerns were we'll founded. This isn't good news in terms of the survival battle and potentially an even bigger problem once that's decided one way or another.

As soon as I heard that I immediately thought of David Brent (played by Johnson) taking his team for lunch time drinks and the ensuing awkwardness - no one wanting to be there, and Brent (Johnson) realizing it had been a 'washout'.
