The squad is in relegation position!
In what sense is this a good squad?
Absolute deluded.
Not liking something doesn't mean it isn't true!
McGoldrick (a loanee who will be gone in Jan) has scored more goals then the rest of the team COMBINED!
That proves there is absolutely no quality in this squad.
If there were the other players would be scoring on a regular basis !
The same people giving me abuse were the same people saying twat features was doing a good job!
These people CLEARLY know fuck all about fuck all!
Pathetic
And your responce clearly shows how immature you are.
A mature man would have aired his views in a contructive manner.
He or she would consider everyones views, way up the pro's and con's of each argument and then respond in polite and calm manner, expressing why they did not agree with the other persons view of the situation and giving good reasons why.
You on the other hand have not. You resorted to calling us deluded and said (and i quote)
These people CLEARLY know fuck all about fuck all!
I'm assuming your including me in this outlook so im going to do exactly what i preach...im going to give you my views (which i didn't really before)
-------------------------------
Your initial post gave most people the opinion that you do not rate MR.
That you feel he has already had a fair crack at the whip and hasn't been successful.
You pointed out about the players fitness levels but failed to realise that it's hard to manage a players fitness levels once you go into full season.
You can't make them train like its pre-season because you risk injuring your players.
If Robin's did this we could end up losing half our first team squad to injury and we all know (despite their current level of playing ability) that would be disasterous!
As Robin's has quite rightly said and several occasions, things are
going to take time. So much is wrong with this club, from top to bottom, that no quick fix is possible.
I agree with you, we're in the relegation zone and it sucks! But how is it any different to all those years we spend in the premiership, always either in the relegation zone or just flirting with its outter edge.
How is that different to all those years in the Championship where we did exactly the same thing, always either in the zone or just outside of it.
The only difference i can see is that its league 1. Same situation, different league!
Our team is in flux, its been in flux since our relegation from the premiership because it's never fullfilled the potential it showed on paper. Look at last years relegation squad. We should have been in or at least near to the playoff places but because of our dire away form (thanks in part to Thorns lack of management skills...sorry guys i'll try not to mention him again if i can!) we ended up falling fowl of the death trap that is relegation to league 1.
Bad business management coupled with a wrong appointment stemming back nearly two years ago has brought us to this low point and i hope you'll agree with me that looking at all the evidence,
a quick fix is impossible!
Our only option is to allow MR the time and patience he so clearly needs to get things done.
His three year contract highlights something important. Thorn (sorry!) was on a 12 month rolling contract. Robin's has come in (as 1st choice i might add...no 2nd choice garbage) and has got himself a long term contract.
I believe this is because SISU have now realised we're not doing the great escape this season.
They've looked at what other clubs have done (Southampton, Norwich etc) and realised it took those teams at least two years to get themselves out of this league (i believe so anyway...someone can correct me if im wrong).
Yes Southampton had a massive cash injection from a takeover but putting that aside, we can still make it out of this league.
A long term plan is what is needed and a long term manager is needed to drive through that plan to ensure any type of success. We need consistancy at this club and giving Robin's three years to work his magic is one step towards that consistancy! We just have to hope SISU stick to their promises! Come on JOY! Step on up to the plate!
The players need to buck up their ideas, that much is true! Their being shown a masterclass in the form of Goldie who (in my opinion) is probably making a lot of them look at themselves a lot more closely than they have in the past.
For example, if at your place of work, someone is brought in for a short time to cover for one of your employees. Up until his appearance you've been very laid back about your job, getting things done without having to put too much effort into it. Then this substitute comes in and starts showing you and your colleges up because he does his job to the best of his ability which is a very high standard. It's going to make you look at yourself and you'll start asking yourself if you too can improve. Maybe you'll get a promotion etc.
Goldie may not stay further than January but i believe his being here has changed things in the Cov camp. It'll have players seriously considering whether they've done enough this season and if theres anything more they can give etc. I for one will be glad if by January they start stepping upto the plate to fill in the gaps left by loan players departures etc and actually show us what they're made off!
So im going to finish this up by saying to you PSGM1, I believe there is depth in this squad. A squad with no depth would not have the sort of players that Robin's has used to change games. They may not be great, but when they come on they give it a damn good go. They change games and some have earned more 1st team starts because of their substitution appearances. Those who have been dropped are given a fair chance to get their place back so when they come on the pitch as substitutes, they are champing at the bit to prove their worth to the manager.
Last season and until Robin's came in we didn't have that. We had players who had no desire to play breathtaking and winning football. They played for their money and that was it. A cushty time to be sure! And a subs appearance was a way of shaking off the cobwebs and have a little kick around. They didn't particularly care about the manager and i think in some degrees, some of them didn't care about us fans! But i believe they now do want to play proper footballer, not just for themselves, but for the manager and for us fans!
I believe a corner has been turned...it'll take time...but i believe we're moving forward in the right direction and MR is the right person to do it.
So have a little faith boss! Remember, theres always a sunnyside to every storm and good times await just round the corner! We'll get there soon, just have some patience
