When the club is being run like a circus, you should not be shocked when you turn up to see clowns running round in circle's..On and off the field the club is a mess no matter the result of any individual game, fans are just losing hope of seeing any sort of success or progression...

Players like Maddison, Finch and Haynes are being put on at the minute and while i agree i with the younger players being played i would not be expecting great things or consistency from them yet... Ability Yes, attitude Yes but good decision making and passing accuracy will be lacking during the game, so don't expect to much of what are boys learning in a mans world in a standard that will not allow them any mistakes....

Quite staggering really. Can't believe we are 2-0 down.






* note - we havent actually had a shot on target yet​

Neither of those stats are staggering, all too predictable sadly.

We've a bit more sinking before we hit rock bottom.

I know he wasn't playing particularly well, but I don't understand why Thomas has been discarded and now 4-5th choice centre mid. Barton, fleck and finch all play too deep and are all too similar, thomas is the only one who actually presses high, the rest all sit back and wait for players to come to them. I know it's only a minor point, but it's irritating as he was part of that good early run.

Is it too much too hope for severe snow in donny now that will see the match abandoned

Just more proof of how inept SP is.

Probably dared to go into the opposition's box.

Wait, so 90% of fans wanted Thomas dropped. Pressley does it. And now Thomas isn't in the team it proves how even more inept SP is?

 

[Nick]

I missed some of CWR, has he made any changes yet?

To be fair I was part of the 10%.

3 strikers warming up. Wander if they're competing for he call up? Who warms up the best?

So was I Stu. How often do we agree...or is this the only time?

Me too. If anything, he was weak to listen to fans.

Who would you say bring off? Think he will just do like for like?

Not according to skysports app.

Warming up for Donny?

Eh? never even knew 90% wanted Thomas dropped. SP and his team selections and tactical prowess is inept, each game proves that. His record is now reflecting Andy Thorns, stats and facts i'm afraid.

No, Pressley still in charge

 

[Evo1883]

I dont think thomas is any better than finch or barton , all 3 are almost the same player

You know what, I never thought I'd say it but I agree! How Finch is being preferred to him right now is mad! Atleast he looks forward and isn't as defensive. Should play in place of either Finch or Barton.

Still don't like the guy but can't be much worse

 

[stupot07]

Chesterfield are hammering Peterborough.....doesn't bode well for Sunday.

Not yet

I didn't rate Thomas but he actually did play forward passes and one in every few split the defence which is what we are really lacking now by having Barton and Finch fighting for space in the centre circle.

An interesting stat would be the last time one of our centre mids last had a shot on target...

 

[sw88]

Struggle for like for like with all 3

I'd take off Maddison because of his booking and nt really knowing his role, and Finch, bring on Nouble and Jackson and move Flecky into a middle 3

Fans calling for 442 but don't see that helping us with Fleck staying on te wide left , and if we bring a striker on and play him on the left he'll be criticised

 

[sw88]

Jackson on for Finch

 

[skybluebeduff]

one hour gone, still only 3 shots, none on target, yet we have 3 strikers on the bench.

 

[ccfcway]

2 down, and with 20 to go, we still havent had a shot on target

 

[Nick]

Jackson on for Finch

Last time he listened to me (Fleetwood) he got us an equaliser. Although he does so it way too late, if he had done it last game when I said we would have won.

i am not sure I have seen a weaker central midfield in my life as Finch and Barton. No offence to Finch, he is young and shouldnt be thrown in there

I wonder if he will be in the latest bomb squad when it's revealed next month?

Probably, or sent out on loan where he plays out of his skin like clarke....

pressley should put himself in the bomb squad......the bloke has lost the plot

 

[skybluepm2]

Currently 19th, 3 off the drop. How can this be defended as acceptable? He has been able to bring in a shit load of players who should be half decent at this level yet he changes the formation, is negative as fuck and generally does not have a fucking clue. He also manages to see the game differently from 99.9% of fans perspective (RFC aside). There is no way forward under this fool.
