Title says it all but I think although Pressely has done well and had us playing a good style of football he seems to have completely lost it recently.
Think given our recent run he has the ability to transform team back to side that had such a great run with the exception of Clarke yet he has refused to do so? This to me seems like bad management unless there are other reasons.
Think he should have reverted back to the team below a long time ago.
Murphy
Christie
Adams
Webster
Clarke
Baker
Fleck
Thomas
Marshall
Wilson
Moussa/Delf (If Moussa unfit)???!!!
Subs: Burge, Haynes, Phillips, Seabourne, Prutton, Ecclestone
The fact that Pressley has not reverted back to team that started so well or has been able to stop the slide has concenred me a little.
Still if we get over the line and stay up this year I will grade Pressley a pass.....not more/no less. Yes he has had more than most to deal with but some of the praise he has been getting has been over the top. Our squad is still as strong/stronger than most in this division after all!!
The problem is the squad will be more diluted with youngsters next year possibly 11 of the 22
If Pressley playing style is the same we will die off after January again.
Pretty sure Clarke was there as centre back alongside Webster with Christie and Adams as full-back?
Think been to more games than Stupot this year probably?
Added Marshall as had to put one player in as Clarke no longer with us, think if fit would put Moose up top
with Wilson and keep Marshall wide hence why on teamsheet.
What worried me more was we had completely lost our style of play of earlier in the season when I last saw us
at home v mk dons, what we served up was terrible and we didn't even look like winning ugly.
Think Pressley should revert back to earlier plans and stick by his guns more for that reason he has lost a few marks in my eyes,
I meant L Clarke not J Clarke and yes I'm pretty sure you have been to more games than me. Have a medal.
What do you like the fact that stupot did not read my initial post properly in the first place and said we did not have Jordan Clarke in the start xi early season? Think that's what you meant?
We always collapse at Christmas. I remember under boothroyd we were top or something and then didn't win a game for months. SISU usually sell our best player which shatters team morale. Otherwise I don't understand why we only ever play well for the first half of the season. Even with different players and managers it happens frequently
Boothroyd has a history for that due to his tactics
Would I be right that Boothroyd was the only manager who's had us In the top six @ Christmas
Edit; since relegation from the Prem.
Stupot made some valid points particularly on the vital ugly wins, however as nearly safe I think we should be reverting back to the style and personnel that served us so well earlier in the season.
I suppose it boils down to fact loan strikers we have brought in simply are not good enough and this year we have not managed to pull a McGoldrick masterstroke!
I think Moose up top if he ever gets fit now this season may be useful to see as an option, if it does not work always have the equally ineffective Ecclestone and Delf to throw on!!
Squad next year should still be largely competitive just need to resolve most important attacking postiions particularly if we lose Wilson which in my eys is almost inevitable!
Sorry for going off topic lads .I think so
Then people worked out that we only had kick and rush in our locker room
Sorry for going off topic lads .
I have a recollection that it went off the rails in the boardroom around Christmas with Ken joining the Board,that Vibe would undoubtedly seep Into team affairs IMO.
Legend has it that Ken bought a NTFC season ticket this season......he's got it in for Hoofroyd.
