just moaning about him not reacting but he just kept going on about it in the interview I read.
And where he gets the idea they should have been 3 up I don't know, don't think either side had many decent chances.
Click to expand...

I've not read/listened to his interview but they did have 2 headers (especially Toney's) that should have produced goals/tested Burge. Burge also saved well at the other end from what I could see, looked like their guy was through at a narrow angle? They also had an opportunity that just required a decent cross but they screwed it up. Having said all that, we had our own chances that should have been taken so I'd say 3-3 as opposed to 0-3 to Fat Bastard.

Was it one dimensional or effective. Anyway I don’t feel it was solely direct. They played some good passages of play. (As we did too)
If Ivan Toney could of hit the target more often with them two headers the score line could of been different. (As could we of tho if we’d of hit the target)
Thought they played reasonably well can see why they are up there, thought Marcus Maddison was poor didn’t seem interested (thankfully) and if Demebele had of played he’d of caused us real trouble.

Thought they were purposeful in attack.

One of the better sides I’ve seen this year

BBC NEWS | England | Lincolnshire | Shamed football manager keeps job

and it's ridiculous to say people have to know someone to form an opinion of them.

We all develop opinions of people in the public eye. Our perceptions of them may change if we knew them personally but unless that happens then we base it on what we see off them.

I’m aware he and the chairman disguised bonuses and payments and tax issues. That sort of thing was quite common in the non league game, I’d imagine still happens today.
Not to much different to football agents today robbing the game and clubs of money. I’m not saying any of it’s correct tho.

Correct we all form opinions, opinions form dislike. But hatred is a step beyond that.
But that’s just my opinion.

Seriously? Most of the time we have Doyle belting the ball high down the ground and are asking the forwards to chase lost causes.

They played possession football and the strikers were strong, quick, mobile and a constant threat in the second half especially

He tries to set his teams up in his image, just on the edge of the rules. You can see on the highlights after the flicked corner their defender just push Hiwula over so he couldn’t challenge the keeper. Made the late goal all the sweeter knowing it would do his head in.

I don’t get all the issues, Sir Alex set his team up similar to play the officials and did it for decades with Giggs winning free kicks. Criticised the officials too publicly if he’d not been able to control them from the sideline.

No different to Evans

So because he was actually a phenomenal manager for well over two decades and won a ridiculous amount of competitions at the very top of the game too and had a enjoyable style of football that dominated English and European football over rides the way he behaved in a vocal outspoken way against the officials and opposition and the way he’d go about winning

Come on... both are passionate Scotsmen with a huge desire to win.

to be honest I'm a bit puzzled by your defence of him.
Fair enough you think he's OK but if every one was slating an opposition manager who I din't mind I wouldn't bother jumping to his defence! You're definitely in a minority of those who can find anything positive to say about him.

Pity Doyle didn't just lump it forward when he played the pass that led to their goal - but at least that gives you a chance to have a go at another of our players

Yes, think I am... I’d agree on that, I go against the grain.
Like I said the dislike I totally understand, but the hatred too the point people get out there pram about like he does I don’t get.

There isn’t really a comparison between Ferguson and Evans in terms of the way they conduct themselves. We were sat opposite the dug outs last night. We don’t usually notice the managers, home or away unless we purposely look across that way. With Evans, you couldn’t miss him because of his animated antics. The way he abuses the officials non stop is totally wrong. He needs a lengthy touch line or even stadium ban if he carries on like that.

Apart from the dreadful football I'd hate to win like Warnock's teams have. Systematically fouling, wasting time, feigning injury and winding opposition up to get sent off. Some say streetwise or gamesmanship but it goes way beyond that. Not nice on the eye to watch and blatantly dishonest too.
Click to expand...
Doesn't always work, either. He's been sacked a lot and had a fair few flops and relegations as well as the promotions over the years. Ask Oldham, Bury and Leeds fans what they think of him, for example. And you can't like a man after seeing this:



I think that's from a much longer clip that someone else posted on here. Most of it's the f-word!

I’ve never seen such delusional comments. ‘We should have been 5-0 up on chances by that stage’. What planet is he living on? Fat, horrible wanker.
Click to expand...

Conveniently forgetting Thomas’ sitter he missed, which was arguably the best chance of the game (tied with their header).

Whilst they had the better opportunities, but if he thinks they gave us an ‘absolute hiding’ it’s not hard to see why they struggle at home. We controlled the game and frankly, should’ve done better.

Yes good strikers, he set them as summer targets and they signed for the club, he revamped the majority of that side. I thought they played some good football as well as being direct. Was purposeful.

That said we played some good football at times, we over played in fact too often.

Was a good game I enjoyed, always felt like there was goals in it till the end as it proved to be.

Neil Warnock. Another manager who’s a huge character, with a huge desire to win and not afraid to say what he thinks about the officials and plays football a unfashionable simple way, gets his players fired up. So is disliked as a result.

Several promotions from the majority of the top 5 leagues over a long managerial career, a few jobs not worked out which is inevitable for many a manager.

I like him too.
