The paying customer has a right to boo and moan if he/she so wishes. We pay their wages and if there not performing week after week after week then you can expect it TBH.
He think he's the Nuts! You can tell.
Dont get me wrong i thought he played well today and should have scored a few more but im thinking he thinks he's better than he really is.
Good today - Shit against Oldham!
Dicker played well today! Thats it! 7/10
Passed the ball well.
Tried to get things going.
Championship footballer? Not for me! But if he had pace then thats a different matter!
Top clubs employ defensive coaches to work on areas that might need looking at, perhaps tweeking a little, through DVD's of games and working on the training field, things like that i guess.
What they dont have to do is sit a whole side down and explain to them the art of BASIC defending...
Makes me laugh that a large percentage of fans want another Guy Butters in our present team. Whilst I wouldn't disagree with that, it seems a little Ironic that these fans also slated Butters when he first came to the club.
Some fans even put him up for Sale on EBAY for £5.
Funny lot!!
You get coached when your young, when i say young i mean from kids football. these players are full grown men who have played the game professionally for a long time now. If they dont do the basics right now, they never will. Coaches dont sit down with these players and write on a blackboard...
No its not!! - Its down to the players not being good enough to realize they need to mark tightly in and around the area.
Defending is all about being Shirt tight! not standing 5 yards off!!
I dont need a defensive coach to tell me when to mark tight! Especially in our 18 yard area in the first 20 mins.
These players are simply not up to it. Their strikers had the time to turn and shoot at goal so many times it was embarrasing.
Why bring the only guy off, forster, who looked like scroing everytime he got the ball.
Murray as a third striker, now thats a different option entirely. Slade cant think that tactically though.
Badger - Quite right about Elliot. He offers something we've been lacking for a long time. I said last week about him not getting the ball and becoming anonymous. 2nd half today he got the ball and destroyed them.
BTW - I didnt mention everyone, just the things i saw fit to mention.
If i...
Why do people keep bleating on about defensive coaches?
These players are not under 10's, there professional footballers, which could be debatable.
If these players cant defend now, at there age/experience levels, they never will be able to!
You cant teach old dogs new tricks. You've either...
1) Watching the Elphick substitution, i'm sure Slade had a pop at him after he sat down on the bench. Not sure what he said but elphick certainly said something to him when he passed him. Elphick was awful today and i'm afraid if he can;t defend now he never will be able to. Get rid!
2) Perhaps...
