We have a billionaire owner. £23m in the green from the summer. And we have Pisano at LB & Kelly at CB, as well as a winger up front. Paterson still starting games too. Joke The bigger joke is Kelly has put the so called proper Centre Half we paid £3m for to shame. How you can use Kelly to make your point like that is laughable tbh. Quote Link to comment

old_eastender Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 COD on the ball on edge of box, chance to shoot, and turns back into trouble and loses the ball. In all the game this season, he looks a shadow of the player he was before last season's injury. Quote Link to comment

BCFC Rich Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 This is the most ridiculous matchday thread I can remember. We're playing one of the better teams in the league, we've been on top for long spells of the game and people are acting like we've been destroyed and completely outplayed. Its a game we could easily have got something out of on another day, we've created plenty and its not quite run for us. Obviously, there are things to be concerned about particularly at the back where we have been sloppy at times and Hunt in particular needs better concentration on his first touch and passing. But GK looks good (particularly for a free), Kelly had a great game, Pack looks fantastic and Wieman is quality. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

But it's now 8 months (admittedly 'only' 6 months of football) since we last played consistently well and, so far this season, I'm struggling to see the evidence we have learned any lessons or put improvements in place from last season and he is in danger of undoing all the good work he has done. I don't think LJ has done anywhere near as bad a job as some have made out and, all in all, if he went now then he would have been a broadly successful appointment but I just don't see any reason to believe he can take us further, or indeed arrest the run of poor form we have experienced since January. It's early in the season - and perhaps some would say too early in the season to judge - but I just don't see what he is going to do differently this season that will produce improved results. I hope I am wrong but I just feel that, much like the last week of Cotts in the role, it is just sitting through poorer and poorer results until a change is finally made. Lansdown must have had a few discussions with Lee since January and now probably another.....how long can he let it go on Edited August 18, 2018 by Top Robin Quote Link to comment

bexhill reds Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I reckon there is worthy team inside this lot. Some really good individual performances, Kelly, Webster, Pack, Mapeena (can’t remember how his name is spelt). Deserved at least one goal. I think with Famara back there’ll be a presence up top. 1 Quote Link to comment

havanatopia Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I thought my remark about QPR would solicit a few responses.... Narhhh... We are far too good for them.. 1-1 Quote Link to comment
old_eastender Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 FT - better 2nd half performance as pressed Boro players more and hit the bar twice, but overall far too easy for Boro to take the 3 points today. Pato, Watkins (being played centre forward!), COD & Taylor all looked really poor. Kelly & Pack the two stand out players for us. Quote Link to comment

BRISTOL86 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Deserved something out of that second half in fairness. If we’d have played that way from the start we may have actually got something from the game. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lordofthebling Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Thought we did ok. Lots of positives. Lloyd Kelly did well and Pack looked the best player on the park. On to Tuesday. Quote Link to comment
cityexile Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Gave it more of a go second half, maybe unlucky not to score, but equally they could have had more. Let them get ahead and they will always then be happy with us playing in front of them. If we continue to be toothless, and give away poor goals, we will go down. Kelly and Peck our best players for me. Edited August 18, 2018 by cityexile Quote Link to comment

The coaching staff, and specifically The Head Coach Your view not mine. Give this lot a few games, and with Famara back, we’ll win more than lose. Arguably a really tough 2 games to start with, got to stop the sloppy goals though. Lets give the manager 10 games and and not just 2 against potential promotion contenders then determine how he has got the team performing. 2 Quote Link to comment

The 3 of them, with far more ITK insight than any of us have on here realised that their dreams would be better met elsewhere. And they left. Ok so we don’t know what those dreams might have been but I’m guessing one of them might well be Premier League football. Under LJ and SL that’ll all it will ever be. A ******* dream. 5 Quote Link to comment

And I would assume our summer transfer business was conducted based on solutions Johnson identified. All of which would make perfect sense to me - it is easy to pul the trigger but I think much more helpful to try and improve with the person already in the role. However, if SL and the board have carried out LJ's suggestions and results still are not improving, then sooner or later the conversation will surely be "thanks for your efforts but it's the end of the line". I reckon October on current form but it would not amaze me if it was much sooner... Quote Link to comment
