Paul, At the risk of contradicting someone who is always right.......................I'll just say I am not going to get involved in GFH. They have come out of the last few weeks very badly but they did allow McDermott to sign two wingers at the start of the January transfer window. He moaned we have no wingers yet within the system he was using at that time (and dropped after 2 bad results) ie 3-5-2 both White & Byram could do a job out wide.
Take your pick on who could replace Lees and Pugh. Either Byram or Poleon could do better than Pugh in midfield and Peltier is a much better centre half than Lees. Kenny wants dropping because he doesnt care. If I say him laugh once more after dropping a bollock I will go on the pitch and twat him. I'd play the young lad Cairns because Kenny needs a kick up the jacks. He had White at his disposal, didnt use him and it was decided to send him on loan. The fact he didnt pick him made that decision inevitable but I suspect he made the final decision. We are rapidly falling out of the play off race Paul and by the time we play our next home game we could be out of it completely. It is a manger's job to coach what he has got. He has brought in over half a team worth of players and there is no change. We are playing the same as under Warnock who is a footballing dinosaur. My expectations was that we would at least play a game based on passing and retention. I am not having a pop at armchair supporters but if you watch us play in person the lack of movement, tracking and picking is so evident. To me these are basics that should be addressed in coaching. Little example, against Yeovil who do you think we should have paid special attention to at set plays? Could I suggest Miller who scored? My final point and it is speculative. If GFH/Cellino had not sacked him and we had got beaten at home by Huddersfield there would have been calls for his head probably by the same mongs who chased Cellino around the car park. We are playing worse now than at any time since he has been in charge. That's me done on this issue for now Paul. I do accept better the devil you know etc but you will have deduced I am surprised at the continued confidence that a lot of supporters are showing on him based on what our team is doing on the pitch. MOT but not falling out with other listers. Phill Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 07:14:14 +0000 Subject: Re: [LU] Sacking McDermott: Did Cellino Do The Right Thing In The Wrong Way? From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected]; [email protected] It was crap 12 months ago and it's crap now is no surprise as nothing has really changed. Why do you avoid answering the questions? Sorry but football style or philosophy is developed over many years from the ground up not usually through journeymen has beens looking for that last big pay day. Did he 'let' White go or was his hand forced? We're skint, we have 3 left backs, 2 are sh*t and nobody wants them so the half decent one has to go. Hunt - we're skint, we need a striker, you can get one for free as a stop gap till the money comes so you do, except the money never comes. So again I ask, in your black and white world who should have played instead of Pugh and while you're at it who should play in goal, Tom Lees? So after Rochdale and his rallying cry, Colin's men say 'fcuk you, we can't be arsed, it doesn't look like we're getting paid this month' - what does he do then? We ARE around the play offs Phill, we're still pants but we are there. How much support did you expect GFH to give BMc to achieve the play-offs? Colin's squad needed major improvements, did they happen? I'd be interested to read who you would play instead of these players you say are rubbish. Again I ask, how long do you give a manager and how much do you give him to spend?
