It certainly is worrying for Pressley. How is he going to get the best and full commitment from all the players after saying quiet publically what he said. Players are very powerful in todays game and can and do make life very difficult for managers. How many times have we seen managers sacked a new guy come in and the same group of players start winning and playing well?
Sorry, but I simply cannot agree at all with that. It has be said as seen and Barton clearly was making no attempts to even approach balls that were clearly there for the taking.Bizarre how Barton again becomes the standout figure to blame. By all accounts he was poor but so was everybody else.
Bit of a mixed bag of opinions on Barton, but I thought Finch was worse on Sunday. Literally like watch Conor Thomas without the 5-10 yard pass.

Yep, Finch tried, as did JOB and Reda and Maddison. Others though did not put in the effort and I am sure that is who Pressley is talking about here.I think Finch is still at the point where performance can be forgiven, so long as he was putting the effort in at the same time.
If Maddison stood out as a small positive in that horror show though, that's promising.
SP has until the 27th of Nov to use the emergency loan market, after that it shuts until January.
Does anyone know how many loan signings we're allowed in 1 season? It used to be capped..
Would he still be able to sign free agents which if there are any good ones out there would be a better option but I don't think signing players is in the thinking at Sisu.
Yeah we can sign free agents, I've just read this on here: http://www.soccersouls.com/2014/05/...stem-in-football-the-ups-downs-and-the-facts/
Perhaps SP will look abroad then?
Agree with this, Finch was dreadful but as he's one of our own and only young he'll avoid criticism. Only player who came out of Saturday with any credit was Maddison. Also, it's about time everyone on here stopped wetting themselves over Johnson, he's already let the team down on multiple occasions.

Pressley is losing the plot now. I am beginning to believe these rumours of him losing the dressing room are true.
You can't say that a lot of our players in our books are rubbish. They have performed well at other clubs.
I don't think Pressley has their backing.
Very worrying times,

To be fair, it could have been anyone (with the exception maybe of Reda) they were all as woeful as each other.100%..
I just said above, Nouble isn't the type of player who will run the channels, why do we expect that? Yes Nouble likes to drop deep and receive the ball and when he had the ball at his feet he at least kept it or gave it to a team mate which is all you could hope for!
It still baffles me why Nouble was substituted? We were going 1-0 down, why take off one of our best players and move an experienced youngster up front, giving us no outlet? It was a terrible decision and at that moment, the point I knew we wouldn't win the tie!

Again, this is not about players being any good or not, it's about players not trying.

Tactically though, it's usually a striker who is sacrificed in that scenario, surely?
Coventry City manager Steven Pressley was furious at this morning's press conference unleashing his anger on his players after an 'unacceptable performance against Worcester City on Saturday.
Pressley said: "The truth is that certain players will be shipped out of the football club. An incident occurred after the game that told me everything about certain players at this club. And they will be gone."
Must have been some kind of rumble in the changing room afterwards by the sounds of that.
he also said this to the CET, which I don't think has been mentioned in this thread:

Or may be a lack of?
Maybe they were just sat there laughing away and joking, rather than being wound up about the result.
Yeah, that would fit the bill too. If anyone's giving an air of the first round being beneath them or not giving a shit because of it that would be a lead balloon.
