Gould may well have proved to be a poor manager, but he brought players in with heart and desire and fight. Players who would chase every lost cause, battle for every ball, show spirit and never give up.Ive never hated any CCFC player but have often seen how shit and lazy some are. The problem lies with the managers, the coaches ( yes Oggy too) and the owners. To continually play shit and below average players is a disease at our club that has taken a foothold. We are rock bottom and couldnt win an argument with this team. Start now, play who you wish to keep and tell the likes of Tudgay etc to step back and move on. Time after time we have been out played, bullied and out worked by many teams we would of laughed at 10 years ago and these teams have grafters not 3 ft tall players who arent up to the fight.
Bobby Gould went out with about £300k and bought players in from lower leagues who grasped the chance to play and were experienced in lower league situations and battles. We for some reason rely on pretty tip tappy players either from the academy or professionals on their way down the football ladder. Nasty in your face bastids is whats needed and get them to stick to a formation not change it every week so they havent a clue what to do from week to week. Get them well drilled and they will know their position on corners and free kicks, know when to play the ball and know when to keep it. (Like 99% of the teams who have played us this season). Oh and get a keeper who comes off his line and can kick a ball to a skyblue shirt would also be of help!
DKE may not be the best footballer out there, but we could do with 11 out on the field with his heart and desire.
