benali-shorts Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 They keep absolutely pinging it at Dibling, it's impossible for him. Very tough ask making him play this role through the middle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloucester Saint Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 2 minutes ago, LeG said: The free kick is taken no where near where the foul was. How had no one picked up on that????? It’s poor from the officials but also inexcusable in the top 2 divisions to be switched off like that. I don’t think the squad is anywhere near fit enough mentally or physically which is part of the issue. Time for Poch style double training sessions.

die Mannyschaft Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Too slow. We can't compete just on the basis that our game is to slow things down, stop and look. No urgency and don't like to take long shots. Why is Dibling not on the wing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 1 minute ago, washsaint said: Goal should never have stood - the ball was miles from the foul spot and still moving. But what is that bloody lineup he's put out there? No striker and why sign COrnet? He looks as useless as AA and BBD. It wasn’t moving and the ball was, if anything, further from the goal than where the foul took place. Neither of those are excuses, we were just naive and asleep for a set piece. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich don’t have a miles better squad but look at their performance yesterday, playing to the strengths of the players they have. Funnily enough competing well even if they ultimately go down.

We started fine against United, maybe few tweaks here and there and we'd have a decent-ish team. Russ, nah fuck it I'll take all our strikers off, stick Cornet/Dibling up front. Fuck.

Sheaf Saint Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) This is fucking awful to watch. I've been very reluctant to start calling for a managerial change just yet, cos I thought Russ deserved a chance to show he can adapt to the PL. But just what the fuck is this formation he's put out there tonight? No recognised striker on the pitch but 5 on the bench, and seemingly just instructing the whole team to pass it to a crowded out Dibling at every opportunity. He's doing himself no favours at all. Edit: And there's 2-0. Fuck off Russ. Edited September 30 by Sheaf Saint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Gifford Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I admire him for stick to a principle. However he is not Pep who tbf is making a couple of errors himself.

SNSUN Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Trouble is, we knew we were going down this season so do we stick with Martin hoping he'll sort it long term or make the change the manager and try to fight for the right to stay in the League. We have decent enough players we just seem to struggle to find a combination that works. Over reliance on an (admittedly talented) 18 year old will not keep us in the league. And thats 2 nil.
