Barlaser would be driven straight up to Newcastle for me. He plays like a 35 year old pub footballer. Who does he think he is? Expects twenty minutes on the ball and is so weak physically. The second goal came from him dithering as per usual on the ball.
It may seem that Warne get flak when we lose but if we played well and still lost no complaint from me. BUT WE WERE EFFING AWFUL. Exeter yes totally agree and whose fault is it for the way we are playing ineffective football.WARNE I'm.losing patience with him.We tried 433 and failed so he has reverted to type 4141
Smith should be in the box a
Like I have said before ,Wiles isn't a winger
,Barlaser ineffective,Crooks he scored two goals but in all other games has been rubbish. I was talking to two oxford fans and they asked who our rubbish no 17 was. That says it all but Warne loves him !!.
In regards Ipswich. They have got decent players and kept the core of a team.
Question I thought lamy was a winger. Has Warne signed a winger who can't cross ffs
Next two games I'm not expecting any.points on that performance and we were very lucky at Blackpool.
I have never known it quiet at the ground as people.want to entertain by the team they support .
I believe Warne has had the time to find right formation for the players he has recruited and trained. Verdict not good enough for me. I don't expect to win every week but want a decent performance
Time.for Warne to go!! But that's how I feel
Some credit to Oxford. They always looked lively and dangerous. Fosu was the best player on the pitch by a mile and the way he took his goal was sublime. We had too many players off the pace. I agree with Whiston that Barlaser is a massive disappointment so far. He just isn't close to living up to his billing and he has had a fair run at it. We need someone in that position sitting in front of the back four who is always available for and always wants the ball, moves it quickly and simply, organising us and breaks up the opposition play. Up to press Barlaser is doing none of the above. He looks lost. Time I think to try someone/something else. I know not everyone is convinced by him but Macdonald has only started one league game so far. I'm not saying he is definitely the answer but I am saying that Barlaser so far isn't doing it, so lets find out whether Macdonald can do better in exactly the position we brought him in to play.
Oxford were the best side to visit NYS this season by some margin. Apart from our keeper and Icky, they were superior in every department. Our problem, as mentioned by others, is a midfield general in front of the back four. MacDonald has to be that man because apart from Icky, there's no one else capable of fulfilling that role. Lindsay, who has great potential and workrate, is being let down dramatically by Barlaser who lacks strength, awareness and confidence. After flattering to deceive in the pre season friendly against Cardiff, I am absolutely convinced that League One is not for him. Ogbene is our best winger by far and he needs to be a constant presence from now on. Finally, after a desperately disappointing performance, I'd like to invite the entire squad round to my house for some crossing practice - has it ever been any worse!?
Mcdonald he should be in a deck chair same as Wood in their back gardens not getting paid by us. Surprised TS letting it get to this. Can only work with what we've got. It's the old pals act all the time with Warney. Kayode should still be here better than anything we've got up front other than Smith. Where's Hinds? why didn't he play the other tues in a non-league game. I've already said forget about Mcdonald Barlaser Crooks. Bring Clarke into a midfield 3 with Lindsay & Wiles. Lamy on the right, Ogbene on the left. Robertson for Wood. Get Cooper next choice at centre back till Thompson gets fit. Get a manager in who can sort it out. Warney should be in a non-contact sport.
As usual some bold statements and views from Gwru. I am not sure what you mean by your last statement, but presumably you mean Warne picks weak physical teams. If you look at Blackpool's fans forum they thought we were a big physical and dirty side. You believe MacDonald and Wood should be retired, yet i think most who have been to the last few matches Wood has played in, believe he has earned his place.
Where do you get the idea that Kayode is better than any striker bar Smith. He needs experience in lower league football and after that we might be able to see if he is capable of having a go at this level. Pitching him in now at Div 1 level would not help his development. I also think it's the same with Hinds, although i agree with you that he should have played a full game against Doncaster in the cup game.
Play people in their correct positions is one of your mantras and play right footed wingers on the right. Ogbene is right footed yet you want him on the left. Funny that. Hastie and Clarke are left footed yet you have Hastie out and Clarke in the middle. On yesterday's showing very few of our wide men could cross their hearts never mind get crosses into the box. Time after time we couldn't beat the first man or hit the ball too long. Our young wingers need a lot of work and time, especially Ogbene and Lamy. They both have pace but up to just the end product is just lacking. There time will come and i think Ogbene could well be given a start against Ipswich.
whiston01 Ogbene to me looks happier on the left. Hastie he needs a rest. Clarke isn't a wide man. Honestly believe McDonald & Wood are ready to be put out to grass.
WTF, the player actually scoops the ball away with his hand and stops it going over the line... I'm not making excuses for the bad performance, but it boils my blood that officials miss something so obvious, and nothing is done. Who knows what the score would have been if we'd been given that and scored it - but the point is, it changes the game.
Their second goal also follwed a clear foul where one of there players did a two footed tackle and took one of our players out.
Officials get worse and worse and worse and nothing is done....
On the game itself, Oxford were better, we again did not create hardly any chances (to be fair to Warne he said this straight after the game)... and we need some serious practice on corners, we used to be great at corners, now we are ****e.... I also think Wiles needs a rest...
I'dlike to see us try something different for a few games at home, like start with both Hastie and Ogbene, and Clarke for Wiles. We are too slow in our build up.
gwru in regards wood we need a leader on the pitch mattock certainly doesnt fit the bill
warne picks the side and his limitations are showing now. oxford were a good side but we made them look better. no comment on the officials as they are standard through out the league poor.
Like other posters have said our team haven't clicked and i do not see them doing so. Warne went with a formation but did not buy the players good enough so he tinkers as he has no idea who to play in midfield except crooks always gets a start but i just think he is not good enough.
he has reverted to 4 1 4 1 but smith does not play well up front on his own as we dont get up quick enough in support and smith ends on the wing.
i like to see us play 4 1 3 2 like other have said
back four
olosunde ikky wood mattock wood is the best player for a captain
macdonald holding midfield
lindsey attacking midfield
left wing hastie
right ogbene
up front morris and smith
IF WARNE STAYS EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME DRAB BORING FOOTBALL AND BOTTOM TABLE FINISH
Hillsborough like your posts. You have your opinion. You don't sound off at other posters. My opinion I agree Mattock shouldn't be the captain. I'd make it Lindsay, yesterday he saved a 3rd goal for them tackling back after Wood mistake. Ihiewke another candidate for captain. Wood to be a leader you've got to be a good enough player now to be in the side. He isn't. Robertson is better. I'd like to see Cooper & Thompson in front of Wood.
Cooper a young lad who hasn't started a league game and Thompson out injured, so nobody has seen him play for us, yet they should be in front of a leader who scored two goals in a play off final, is playing ok at the moment and is the only captain at the club. Oh and btw Cooper and Thompson are right sided defenders. Spot on there Gwru.
Perhaps gwru could share with us how.many minutes he has seen Trevor Clarke playing and why he thinks that this player, who has played all his career so far as either a left winger or an attacking left back, can not play wide. While he is at it perhaps gwru could explain why he thinks that Clarke, who he wrote off as too small on the day we signed him, is equipped to play centrally.
I'm now convinced the summer recruitment was poor and i don't see improvement in any of what are proving to be a very ordinary bunch. The management seem bereft of tactical nous and i suspect where we stand in the table come Saturday night will be an indicator of where we finish. This lot are certainly not remotely good enough to mount a promotion challenge and are more likely to be candidates for a relegation struggle.
Poor old tiddles issuing his usual tirade if there Is something that he disagrees with. Take a bit of friendly advice observing things from a distance take a bit of time before you engage your 2 brain cells 1 more than me.
I do not agree with not having the tools, we have a decent set of players that do not look fit, they reflect the manager in that they are too nice and easily pushed aside, they lack fight and desire. This comes from the way they are manged and coached, those players under a Parkinson, Robinson, D moore would do better. I stress this is my opinion and others may not agree, that is fine, it is based on what i observe when I see us play. I am fed up when we go behind at home or when we need to change the approach watching warne with his hands in his pockets, head down kicking the grass the guy is not a leader he is a teacher as he says himself. I know it is a broken record but if he stays as manager we need a better number two than barker.
However if it is down to not having the right players then whos fault is that? It certainly isn't the board as they have backed warne in building this squad, this is his squad of players.
As i said on an earlier post, we will win some and lose some but we look a midtable team, the football isn't exciting to watch and they seem to lack that desire but it is what it is and i will keep going as it is my team and i will support them no matter what
macdonald started at donny and for 60 mins we never looked like conceding, he played well in the holding role. he got injured went off and we could have conceded 3 nevermind the 2 we did. Now I am not saying he is the answer but we cannot do any worse than give him 4 or 5 games in that role.
however for me now we have 2 very quick wing-backs why are we not playing 3-5-2 get the width from the wing backs, away from home stick 2 deep midfielders in the middle and play on the break, at home we can play 1 deep midfielder. Wiles needs to be in the middle with Lindsey and we can try different players to play off Smith in the 2 up front. It would take a few games to try but we have played 5 cup games so far this season where a plan B could have been tried. this is my issue with Warne he lacks imagination and creativity he isn't bold and he doesn't come across to have the winning desire and that is reflected in his teams.
I accept my opinion is not shared by many, but it is my opinion
