Re: Accrington Stanley
I'm sorry, but however much we like Danny Cowley, you can't blame this shower of sh*te on Jackett. They had seven days to prepare for this and looked like a bunch of strangers. Looking at our last few games I would say John Coleman would be a better shout for manager

Re: Accrington Stanley
I think this match has seriously dented the credibility of the Cowley’s to move us forward

Re: Accrington Stanley
Cowley's seemed to know they were done before kick off - so did the team. Curtiss played for a transfer, and I am struggling tot hink of anyone who comes off the field with credibility other than their keeper.

Re: Accrington Stanley
Of course you can!! This is Jackett's team not the Cowley's. They are a totally useless bunch who are not capable of being coached and brought up to Championship quality. Why not give them the courtesy of allowing them to build their own team before you slag them off. All the blame is firmly at Jackett's door.Dinksy wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 1:56 pm I'm sorry, but however much we like Danny Cowley, you can't blame this shower of sh*te on Jackett.

You can't blame Jackett for the difference between the first half and the second half performances.eltorrro wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 2:05 pmOf course you can!!

We had to win one game - and we couldn't do it. Not only could we not win the game in the first half was unacceptable whatever the level.
The side at them moment is no better than the Jackett side when we were winning.

Re: Accrington Stanley
A match that pretty much sums up our season. At no point did we look like a team with a sense of collective prupose and a gameplan that everyone understood. The whole thing relied on individual skill to create an opening, and when that didn't work there was nowhere near enough evidence of players working together to engineer something. The Stanley defence is not very good (to be polite), but we didn't do anything that put them under any real pressure.
Whoever is in charge, and I assume that it will still be the Cowleys, then we have to draw a line under the last four years and start again with a largely new squad of players. A bit like when Paul Cook took over and rebuilt the team to play the way he wanted, not just professional footballers doing what professional footballers do, which is competent enough, but almost the definition of mediocrity.
Oh well. Euros 2020, transfer rumours/signings and it will soon be next season.

I wouldn't be too upset if we let him go this summer. I'd much rather we kept Close.Dinksy wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 1:29 pmHe took it well because Whatmough failed to block

Re: Accrington Stanley
Their Goalkeeper was judged Man of the Match, how do we put that into perpective

Re: Accrington Stanley
We have got to be totally honest with ourselves how many of this team have the quality needed to get us out of this dire league?

If he’d have gone off when he took the knock on the knee I think we would have won.BlueinPLtwenty wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 2:15 pm Their Goalkeeper was judged Man of the Match, how do we put that into perpective

I'd keep the following:jam tomorrow wrote: ↑Sun May 09, 2021 2:22 pm We have got to be totally honest with ourselves how many of this team have the quality needed to get us out of this dire league?
Big Mac.
Johnson.
Downing.
Brown.
Close.
Naylor.
Williams.
Marquis.
Harness.
I'd sell Curtis to try and fund a rebuilt and I don't think all of those named should be automatic picks on the team sheet but they should be retained.
I like the look of Byers he had something the rest don't but I can't see anyone being in a rush to come on loan to us.
In reality I think we will let nearly all those out of contract go / they won't stay.

We were top of the league at Christmas and went a fair few games without conceding so it’s not like this team can’t get results. I think the issue is mental as much as anything. That being said we need some new players and a different type of player for the cowleys to make their system work.
