We had to put a team together through the window. I hope we have some footballers who can win some games at this level.

We are 5 or 6 unbeaten at home now, but not giving ourselves a chance to win away

After the first 15 mins of the game, there was only one team going to win the game.

(he was talking about CCFC)

Mowbray

Thoughts on game; initial thoughts disappointment

Don't give ourselves chance

If you don't score you don't win

Inability to defend to blame

Ultimately not good enough

Created good chances

When go behind you give yourself a mountain to climb

Had enough chances to score

Interested to see stats

Bottom line you have to score

First goal young boy being naive

Very young team. Can't use as an excuse

first week we will have to work with them to gel (no midweek game)

Only RCC on team sheet that was on team sheet last season

Over the course of the season you have to coach; haven't had time to coach other than to sit in front of a video. Show what could do better etc

Good coaching includes working on the grass

Just brought a group together

Had a very young team pre season

Had to use and put together team with the window

Said today if don't put ball away give yourself a difficult game

Didn't lack in belief but will erode

Team still believe they are a good side

Competitive game

....Refers back to previous games....

Some good and bad crosses today. Didn't hit target enough

Work to be done

I don't care about unbeaten if it's 5 or 6 wins at home that is different

There's a pattern forming here.

SP. Did enough finishing the season he arrived. Started his first full season all guns blazing before falling away after Xmas. Starts the next season flat before loosing his job.

TM. Did enough finishing the season he arrived. Started his first full season all guns blazing before falling away after Xmas. Starts the next season flat before...


...yet to be written.

There is of course one common denominator here and it isn't the manager.

Thats been the pattern for the majority of managers I can remember. Honeymoon period follower by nose dive.

The one common denominator.......ccfc

Oh feck it's Nigel. Was hoping they'd finish before he called up

Now he's having a fit shouting LET ME FINISH, LET ME FINISH

Clive won that battle

Wonder if he has any more weddings to go to?

His rant about Fisher, Anderson etc coming out and talking to the fans.

Finished my shouting 'GET OUT OF MY CLUB AND OUT OF MY TOWN'.

Says the bloke who didn't go to half the games last year but suddenly is now back on the scene..

Arse.

Think he wants to be like Gladiator Pressley was.

It's as if other teams haven't played loads of games.

I'm not having that older players wouldn't come here, not after the hunt, ramage and Henderson experiment.
Click to expand...
Depends what you mean by older players, players who are past it looking for there last pay check on a one or two year contract would sign.

Would players in there prime between 25-28 years of age come and join on a 3 or 4 year contract? It's possible but very unlikely given the current off field problems surrounding the academy and stadium and overall lack of stability at the club.

He had all summer to get his team together don't agree with that statement you add one or two before window closes don't wait till 4 game's in to work on the grass.

Yea and neither of them are good enough over a 46 game season it appears.

It's known that Mowbray was actively trying to recruit another centre back but for whatever reason it couldn't be done.

I think he has wasted time trying to sign players that were unlikely to come and has then missed more realistic targets as they gave gone elsewhere

That's the thing isn't it, played a gamble with championship players like Wilson and wondered why they went to championship teams on championship wages.

Possibly, seems that way. Seems he underestimated how difficult it would be to convince players to join us.

We were more or less a stable team on the pitch in the Championship. SISU came in, appointed Coleman and we crumbled from then on. Finishing up where we are now. Thoughts... Or is it as plain as the nose on your face as to who is to blame.

We weren't stable though were we, the same as I wouldn't be if I was spending many multiples of what I was earning.

We were never really in any threat of relegation till SISU came along and appointed Coleman. Downhill ever since. The stats don't lie Nick.

So basically, are we saying that we are shitter than shit & already doomed?

I'm just thinking that by the time he gets the team performing well...1/2 will piss off as the loan periods draw to a close.

...onwards & upwards PUSB

With two games a week a lot of the time is taken up by recovery afterwards then preparing for the next match. Not much time for high intensity training with two matches a week.

Don't all the other teams in this league face the same problem though Bear? My point is - TM has just as much opportunity to get his points across to his troops. You don't need to run them ragged, you should know their abilities and explain how they should effectively deploy them (blimy even using a chalk board would do)...he's either not getting the message across, he's clueless, or he's inherited/brought shyte.
