thats bullshit

Ohare wanted to stay and Hamer but king wouldn’t pay the wages.

now we’ve ended up with players who ain’t good enough

if king paid Hamer and Ohare the wages they deserve then wouldn’t be here now

How much do they "deserve"?

[Calista]

Van Ewick’s crossing has been erratic all season, what do they work on all week?

It's not erratic, it's consistently pretty poor and always has been.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

For me the two players we must get rid of are Collins and Da Silva, they can’t ever pull on our shirt again.
How Collins has made a living out of football god only knows, his punching, kicking, bravery and just positional play is village standard at best. Da Silva just has no clue how to mark a player, and at two foot tall he is a liability every game
Bassetts second chance my nan would have scored it, goal wide open so he shot straight at the keeper, he should have gone round him as he was stuck stationary.
What FL doesn’t like about Bidwell I have no clue.
Simms is best bet as CF but he needs a good run of 6/7 games to get his confidence going. Frank has to offload and get some decent loans in jn Jan or we are fucked, we need someone who is creative in mid field .
I just feel the way we are going relegation is a real possibility , if not a formality

Hamer wanted top flight football
O'Hare did too but nobody wanted him so he jumped ship to the highest bidder

 

[GIMOC]

How much do they "deserve"?

enough to keep them here

we’ve wasted in excess of 30 million on rubbish. yet capped wages on players who were proven for the club

if you can’t see this team is not worthy of the money spent then you are delusional

we had players here who got us off our seats

we don’t have that now

 

[GIMOC]

name me one flair player now who gets you excited when he has the ball?

Ah, another one who things footballers should dictate their own salaries.

This is why its best that we don't let people like you run football clubs.


If they said £300k a week or they're off, you would've paid it presumably?

To be fair, I got off my seat when the fourth went in.

 

[Warwickhunt]

I have been watching the game back again and I afraid to say that Thomas has not come out smelling of roses either. I would say two goals he could have prevented if he had been more aggressive

 

[chiefdave]

I didn’t see the game as I’m working

lucky bastard

ah the old sell proven players and replace with rubbish because wages were cheaper.

we have spent 30 fucking million. if you are more bothered about wages instead of transfer fees again you are delusional

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Plymouth will batter us … just saying

 

[GIMOC]

the Brentford and Brighton model works so well if you’re Brighton or Brentford

 

[GIMOC]

To be fair, I got off my seat when the fourth went in.

why was you was sitting?

we were all standing

 

[HadjiChippo]

Plymouth will batter us … just saying

They’re beating Middlesbrough now, fuck sake if they come into our game off their first win in ages and us off a 4-1 battering…

Edit: Luckily, they fucked it up. If we can’t beat them I’ll be really worried.

Proven players?

What did we achieve with O'Hare? Best season in recent years was when he was injured

 

[Rodders1]

Dog shit today.

Norm needs to put that second in and we win.

Someone is gonna have to tell me what Kitching has done that’s was so unforgivably wrong.

 

[Cov98]

Does your work involve being in a poorly ventilated confined space using potent chemicals?

Sorry forgot my respirator

 

[GIMOC]

Proven players?

What did we achieve with O'Hare? Best season in recent years was when he was injured

so Hamer and ohare aren’t proven in the championship?

fuck me. you know fuck all about football if you don’t think they are proven

look at Sheffield Utd.

 

[alexccfc99]

name me one flair player now who gets you excited when he has the ball?

Ephron and Wright when fit

Probs the only two players I would be gutted if we lost tbh

 

[GIMOC]

Ephron and Wright when fit

Probs the only two players I would be gutted if we lost tbh

So we’ve spent 35 million on two players who you’d be gutted left

enough said

emc still hasn’t been consistent enough

let’s see how he’s playing end of Jan

I don't disagree

 

[bigfatronssba]

fuck me. you know fuck all about football if you don’t think they are proven

look at Sheffield Utd.

We were talking about O’Hare.
He’s a proven Championship player in the same way Dasilva is.

You didn’t answer anyway. If O’Hare asked for £300k a week would you have paid it?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Just have 3 atm.

Wright
Sakamoto
And
EMC.

 

[itsabuzzard]

The massive fucking queue of clubs after Robins is testament to his abilities

It could he that he's taking a break from football. He certainly looked like he needed it.

 

[Tommo1993]

Just have 3 atm.

Wright
Sakamoto
And
EMC.

Don’t know why Sakamoto wasn’t playing today.

 

[GIMOC]

Just have 3 atm.

Wright
Sakamoto
And
EMC.

sakamoto?

he’s been shit since his injury

 

[Viktor17]

Not been so deflated in years - really was horrific “effort”.

Again at least it highlights huge issue for FL- could and should be some honest talks with DK.

 

[skybluearmy7]

Pathetic and embarrassing performance but a near perfect result for frank and his backroom team to see the real problems we have.

-recruitment team have recruited very poorly and blown most of the budget from previous player sales.

-the defence is almost at league 1 level. We cannot do the basics.

‬-not enough fight in the team. We need a midfield general and leaders in defence

-Collins not good enough at this level. Needs to go in January.

-give Frank time, not his players and he will get it right

 

[chiefdave]

Someone is gonna have to tell me what Kitching has done that’s was so unforgivably wrong.

Obiovulsy there's far more to it than this but when Kitching has started this season, our record, at least according to Soccerbase, is: WWDLWLWD

In the context of where we are in the table I'm not sure why he seems to have been singled out at the one who can't set foot on the pitch.

Doug forgot to remove the jokers!

sakamoto?

To be fair he’s done well to ever play again

 

[oscillatewildly]

To be fair he’s done well to ever play again

Ah, thank god for that - We need more players with that calibre.
The OP raised a very valid point.
