Well, as Glenn says the only meaningful intervention would be a managerial overhaul.  Won't happen.  Any new manager would want some real investment.  TS will just let things be and hope something turns up.

I agree they were shocking, in evans interview he says that him and the staff (the four marx brothers) noticed that JCH had improved in training so he went on the bench. My question is when you have a player that isn't performing in training what do Groucho, harpo, Chico and Zeppo actually do about it?

Brad, keep the faith my man.

I know we are stuttering at the moment, but the reality is Evans is the best manager we can attract, and the players we are attracting are the only ones that will play under Evans or can afford.

If we had say Jimmy Floyd here then yes i think we would attract better players for same money, kudos of the players previous career etc etc and for one our strikers may start scoring more often.

But the reality is, seabed for the time being - moving away from the filter feeders to a more mid water position of stability.

 Worcester, don't get me wrong - I like and agree with a lot of your stuff.  But that last sentence?  I hear it from a lot of people but where's the mechanism?  What moves us from the bottom to mid-table stability?  I just don't see it.

Exeter we may get loan players in but, and it's a big but, can Evans identify which players will improve our team. I'm not sure he knows what style he would like the players to adopt. We have white a fast winger but he isn't allowed to play wide and get lime on his boots. We lump it up front without a big target man. We play a forward who likes to run onto the ball out wide and lump it up to his head. Surely if playing Bowery and Derbyshire we could do with two wide players to stretch the defence and whip in the crosses and then with the back 4 stretched it would allow the midfield to either get forward or play the ball through to the wingers on the diagonal or the forwards to run onto. But we appear to do none of this but just lump it forward to a lone cf. we look to have signed random players with no game plan. So yes we may get the loan players but will Mr Evans be lucky enough to stumble across a system that will work?

Not sure Fliker. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the new 4-2-3-1, variations of it are even taught at youth 7 a side level, and having left and right footers on opposite sides etc. It does appear we have the players to utilise this but they aren't being 'utilised'

I also wouldn't have Derbyshire up on his own, but then I wouldn't pick him either.

Also what on earth has happened to Thorpe, surely he's injured?

Ex - Thorpe was on the bench last night but still no sign of Rawson.

Now here's a thought Steve, why not actually play Ledesma eh??

Brad. I thought that. Drop frecks and give ledesma a go. I can see a few changes Saturday.
