Just to be clear - I was not implying that Dave or anyone on the list is
writing Skoobs off. I am just curious to know whether we think he has
done enough already to justify waiting a bit longer to get someone or
rushing to get anyone with first team experience.

Are we writing off Skoobs already? I thought the last two games showed
immense improvement in tactics, style and shape when defending. For
me the key thing to get right now is the right man for the job. Get
the wrong guy, and it's back to the drawing board. This guy who Ajax
fired a couple of weeks ago looks like a disaster waiting to happen
judging from the comments I read from Ajax fans / dutch supporters. I
would be happy to go with Skoobs for a while if it means waiting for
the best guy for us.
As the chant went " follow follow follow, you're a team of f@cking
weirdos, Ronaldo's a rapist, greenwoods a rapist and Scholes just
loves to suck toes"Made me laugh even if none of them actually play.
Very low key police presence at Piccadilly early on, and only a
handful of fans on our train, met by a handful of coppers at Leeds.
Then massed ranks of police at the barrier and even stranger ( I
wondered for a second if the pub had been given to them) 5 vans and
15 or so police outside the west Ridings. This was the scum
game.Team news was as expected but the bench showed how we are
suffering yet again with injuries as Gyabi, Monteiro, Joseph and
Mullen all made the bench. Not much there if we needed a boost.
At the bus queue my lad got into it with some knob ( unfortunately
not the only one as it turned out) who sang the runway song, then
after my lads comment, tried to double and triple down with version
of Daisy daisy and the laughing policeman ( not putting words on
here) - no one joined in as we berated him , his " excuse" one of
them was buried in a cemetery near him and it got attention. What a
dick. He later remembered it was David Pegg ( buried in Doncaster)
Inside the ground it was the right type of hostility near us, the new
song as above , we all hate scum etc, with lots of backing for us "
Billy bremner's barmy army" - great stuff. The cheer when Adams
thundered into the first tackle leaving their player on the deck was
brilliant
We really got at them and Summerville missed an easy chance early on,
and he had another before half time in a half of few chances,
Meslier had to save with his feet as s woeful pass from the mainly
excellent Wober let in that hateful Fernandes what a horrible player
he is whining moaning and trying to referee it
Second half ( till last 10) was even better as we created lots of
half chances, summerville had a save, Harrison had a flick just wide,
koch had a header blocked,Ayling came closest with a shot that
ricocheted through a scum players legs and went wide, he followed it
up with a great overhead kick that unfortunately went straight to the
keeper. We pressed and pressed but it was not to be. At the other
end their first attack led to them hitting the bar, then on 80
minutes it all fell, apart. We had made changes Harrison and Bamford
off for Rutter and aaranson and it didn't work and tiredness crept
in. We left Rashford clear in the box and a good cross found him 0-1
, minutes later their sub zoomed past Koch and his shot sneaked in.
Game over. It could have been worse as they put it in twice more but
both offside. So a 2 - 0 defeat in a game we could have won
The now familiar comment after the game " play like this and we
will be all right"Trouble is , so far we have only played like that v
good teams and have not a lot to show for it , defeats by Arsenal,
Spurs, scum ( ok win v Chelsea and liverpool).We need to play like
that v poor teams starting with the next two and we need to score
when on top
All the players gave their all and before Wednesday, a point and
only minus 2 in the goals column may have been acceptable but not
when 2 up in the first game and the better team for 80 minutes of
the second.
We need to get points , at least 4 in the next 2, and turn things
around. This week has given us more hope but not much more than
that. Summerville and Gnonto are brilliant to watch and Adams and big
boy McKinney give us a strong base in midfield and Wober has improved
us at the back, so it is not a lost cause by any means,.
Finally a well done to Firpo best game yet ( albeit a low bar) he
was ok defensively and offered more than Struijk going forward
Let's get the new manager in quickly and hope he us the right man,
this team could be decent
Dave
