Our players are nervous and have fear (1 Viewer)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

So we seem to have recruited mentally weak professional footballers. Questions have to be asked on our recruitment strategy this summer.

He said he saw some fear and nervousness in some players today.

To take that and conclude we've recruited mentally weak footballers is a bit of a leap IMO.

And the player that looked the most nervous and scared today wasn't one of the new recruits anyway (Wilson).

 

[the rumpo kid]

The supporters can't give any more than we are.
There has to come a time when those lads that wear our colours have to pull themselves together and produce the potential.

Personal I think to many changes too quickly

 

[christonabike]

We need a Liam Daish to show them and have some spirit! Stand up and be counted.

A lot of that can be down to a lack of confidence and obviously, the more games you lose, the more confidence drops and you become more nervous

Unfortunately the only person similar is Fadz with any leadership qualities. The sad thing is he’s been poor recently so may we’ll be omitted.

Michael Doyle might have been a better suggestion considering Daish only played 30 odd games.

Kitchen, Thomas and Latibowdare both claimed to be leaders in their interviews

About time they showed a bit then.

I get the feeling that fadz and Wilson are about to be dropped so it isn't all down to just new players

Yeah, Robins mentioning Wilson twice post-match doesn’t bode well for him.

McF needs some time out of the firing line. Wilson has lost the plot this week, Moore style

Not sure Fadz has properly recovered from his mauling by Adebayo at Wembley.

 

[steve101]

A player seriously lacking confidence previously has really stepped up - Josh Eccles. Just keep him away from set pieces.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I think someone mentioned Fadz has personal issues at the moment. Any player who isn’t mentally in the right place shouldn’t play. You start to make the wrong decisions in games.

He's done this before tho. Remmeber forest in last minute?

It doesn’t look mental, it looks physical

 

[False9]

He is repeatedly exposed for pace now unfortunately.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Physical as well is gone. His legs have gone for Champ football.

 

[PVA]

Yeah as we saw with Moore, once it becomes a mental thing with a keeper, they're an accident waiting to happen.

Wilson's issue looks mental, Fadz's is physical.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

It doesn’t look mental, it looks physical

Could be both.

So we seem to have recruited mentally weak professional footballers. Questions have to be asked on our recruitment strategy this summer.

The recruitment has been appalling and someone is going to unfortunately take ‘the bullet’ for it.

If anyone thinks there won’t be repercussions somewhere down the line is naive to say the least.

I get Robins is publicly saying he has final say but his protecting the recruitment team and I admire him for that but DK WILL be asking some serious and direct questions before releasing further funds in January. I know I would be.

Robins choice to bring Dean Austin in.

I’ll defend Robins to the end but even I’ll admit that he’s got the recruitment selection and possibly the recruitment team badly wrong here.

I said a few weeks back. Robins maybe is the type of manager who doesn’t do well with money for big transfers.

It appears then your are right. This recruitment with the long term contracts could take 2-3 years to rectify its that bad.

I don’t buy this gelling now in November.

I don’t buy this is the process excuse.

Big money has been spent on players that don’t appear good enough for this league. I’d have rather gone back to the days when we had no money and the little we did have we spent it wisely.

 

[pusbccfc]

Didn't help that whenever players tried to play a risky pass in the first half, fans were groaning and moaning.

 

[DrPoolittle]

Absolutely. Time for a break for him. I suspect Robins has planned it. We have enough defenders now, all of whom have gained enough experience for McF to be dropped

 

[DrPoolittle]

It happens.

It happens a lot but fans like expenditure. There is considerable pressure on a manager to spend and spend big and I suspect that affects decision making.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It's easy for anyone to see.

You don't go a goal up and then ship two within minutes of each other if you aren't a bit fragile.

There should be enough hard men in there, and for those who constantly write-off Kelly, we look significantly more confident as a team when he plays.

That’s certainly true. Kelly adds steel to the midfield. But you don’t always need hard men to add confidence. All the players need to take responsibility

Both?
