I have been 62years biggest critic of his negative attitude. However , I have no issue with his limited response today.
InsyWhizzer. I wasn't ever a Feeney fan but had to hold my hand up for his assists last season, no I don't want him back.
I've always rated Gnanduillet even when he didn't warrant it. IMO he has so much to offer to a team at our level, goals, physicality, temperament, defensive attributes and even his deceptively quick feet.
Is that enough?
You call it a narrative because you don’t agree with my opinion...it’s my assessment on this formation he keeps on picking over one that actually works.
I wish I knew but I can only watch on twitter!!
I think we all agree about the need for more firepower.
No and of course we are entitled to our own opinions. No argument with you about that.I'm not here to tell people who they should or shouldn't like.
It's a matter of opinions and in mine I don't think Gnanduillet would improve the side.
We still have a long way to go in this season and I'm certain that there are better players than Armand that we can pick up.
But with you being insider do you know something that we don't
You should post more often!
I do get your point as offensively we’ve struggled all season, but at least we started to score with Yates and Madine, prior to that it was like getting blood out of a stone. And I’m fairly sure after going two up top the stats will support an up turn in efforts at goal per game.
So I need a distraction.
Boom tish.. I thankyee I thankyee have you heard the one about...
The positivity comes from this being the best side since the Holloway era. There are shortcomings but confident they will.be addressed. Looking at our league position is not the best indicator as we did not have king Kenny, Ballard or Gretarsson till we were 6 weeks into the season, so look at form.
He wants to prove that the early season debacles with this formation were just unlucky defeats and it’s a winning setup. It’s league one and it’s definitely not a winning setup.
After he continued to play 433 in the less important cup games I did fear he’d go back to it in the league.
Agree with the first paragraph in the main. But if we don't score goals, I see mid table mediocrity at best, this is not what we are after.
Madine looked frustrated during the game...he does what the Manager asks him but it dosn't mean he likes it.. If he has blown his stack then fair doos... Him and Yates have started to click so he probs can't understand why you would mess with it.
I think there is a fine line between us going forward and backwards in this league. I believe bottom can beat top on any given day. I think recently the management found something that works well. Maybe not swallowing a bit of pride in regards to the way we set up for games, could end up being counter productive.I do get your point as offensively we’ve struggled all season, but at least we started to score with Yates and Madine, prior to that it was like getting blood out of a stone.

Whilst we should have scored today, how many of the games where we’ve failed to score have we said words along the lines of, well there was x y and z chance (which are usually half chances) and we should have taken them, it was similar today.
I just think Critch had started to crack it on the pitch and he’d built up some capital with the fans. I’d hate to see him go into reverse gear and we start to struggle in front of goal again.
A point that often gets over looked is, we’ve now become really solid at the back where we were once forced to witness dog and duck defending. A major positive.
Sorry not a rant at you 53 just a ramble in general, Strictly has been put on
There are not 6 better teams than us in this league. I doubt there are 2.

I actually don't disagree with what you're saying, I just think people tend to blow things out of proportion, and often there's no balance. I think we need something different in the striker role, whether we play two or one up front. January will be interesting.
I agree with most of that. Can't for the life of me see where I said there are 6 better teams than us though ?
You didn’t, I was referring to your comment that things could go either way. Purely my observation.
Fair enough, I was linking the formations we play with the closeness of the teams in this league.
, probably the only player we have no cover for).What a ridiculous statement. You are slagging Critch based on assumption on what happened in the dressing room. Glasshalffull - sounds like wrong name. Best not to make any presumptions.Well if true, and he might very well have a point about whatever he may or may not have kicked off over, he will probably be disciplined and maybe dropped (Great
The Coach seems hell bent on unlearning his lessons from the early games. Let’s see.
Ok. I would give him the benefit of the doubt based on the large number of games we have had to play.
And was an odd inclusion as a starter in any event
Ah. I see the grudge now.
We signed a load of players. Nearly all of them have come good. Others will given the chance. On the whole we are doing well, the coach is doing well. I'd rather support that than keep looking for negatives. We've lost very few games since the first few, when we were all new. Why the negativity? I don't understand it.
I’m feeling negative today because the way I see it, we finally hit on something that worries oppositions...Yates and Madine as a pairing...and he pivots back to what’s delivered more draws and defeats and creates less chances. I genuinely thought the penny had dropped but I fear we will keep opting back to a system that will not get us out of this division. After the start we had, to get back into contention, then start pissing about like he did today with the starting eleven, it makes me annoyed. I don’t ever see the positive in a home nil nil draws.
I'd say the balance lies somewhere in the middle. I agree with both points. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but yep, really don't understand the need to break up the Madine/Yates partnership which was really blossoming. I understand the need to give other players more game time but Woodburn could easily have fulfilled the role of Kaikai, so for me dropping Yates was a bad mistake.
Agree and if you think the next 3 games coming up, the time to give it a try was yesterday imo,
Also why take Madine off when Yates came on?
Exactly sometimes you don't get the result you deserve but if you okay well every time you will mostly get favourable results. And occasionally you win games you didn't really deserve to win. Things balance out over 46 games. We've got 10 points from our last 4 home games and 9 from our last 4 away games. So we are going a lot more right than wrong. Nitpicking is unnecessary.The one good thing that came out of the match was just how good we are going forward, and even defending.
Yesterday was a 'blip', another game like that we will score a few. Just a shame yesterday wasn't the day.
