Because we have a squad full of dire players.
My criteria is football and so far it's been dire.
Squad is identical for Robins, Carsley and SP excvept for ONE player (either DMc or Leon). So are you saying the team's success or failure depends on the form of one player?
Its a truism that any team game CANNOT be revolved around one player and succeed.

Wasn't dire when robins was here, best football seen in years. One player doesn't make a great team, it helps but can't keep using the Dmc excuse for Pressley inept management style thus far.

That's exactly what you were saying during the whole of Robins tenure.
It doesn't help when you have the arguably the best striker in the league out does it?
You've obviously been boycotting the Ricoh this season then....
So you play with what you have. Basic skills to management
Exactly, I was saying the same when it was Thorn and it was the "hands are tied" etc.
If you don't have the big striker who can hold it up and excels being on his own up top then surely you change the tactic to suit the players that are available? Rather than play the same tactic and wonder why the other players can't do it as well?
We are in league one, not the champions league. We are under a transfer embargo, we play on shit pitches.
We have to adjust play to suit conditions, players available and opposition. We can't keep saying "But we want to play like Barcelona like we do in training" on a boggy pitch in December at Crawley can we?

SP has, but when you missing a 20-goal-a-season striker, with no adequate replacement, you're going to feel it and struggle, look v Orient, Philliskirk should've scored, if Clarke was there, you couldn't help but think he would've scored, we would've been 1-0 up and that's the difference.
SP needs the summer to get rid of certain players whilst bringing in players of his own so he can make his team in his image.
Didn't help that the 10 point deduction killed the season meaning in effect, we had nothing to play for.
What we have got is a good set of midfielders, Fleck, Moussa, Barton, Thomas and Jennings (overall he's a good season) .[/b]

There is no evidence that is a good set of midfielders. Only moussa has really looked good and then only in spells. Any team with fleck and Barton in midfield will always struggle.
Guess that's what Doncaster thought :\
I'm not going to change your mind, but I'll ask this question:
Who do you consider to be better:
Fleck, Barton and another CM (e.g. Thomas) or a combination of; Ball, Cody, Wilson or Philliskirk?

He actually said we were poor in the first half, held our own in the second and came to life for the last 20 minutes.
The excellent was more to do with overall attitude this season.
The only people talking rubbish are the ones at the start of the thread telling Pressley to do one!

proof that Grendel only tells half truths and the psgm1 isn't missed one little bit.
"half truths"? Don't be silly, expressing an opinion is neither a truth nor a falsehood. And picking on one person and judging them when you have the benefit of hindsight is hardly fair.
