I think your loyalty is admirable. However the facts are staring us all in the face we are easy to suss out, We can't play in the air, we can't seem to string two passes together. Yet we have quality players doing nothing, earlier in the posts people were asking what has happened to Chris Eagles I would also ask about others as well. I have watched games that Chris Eagles would have been a great asset as a playmaker. We continue to play the one striker up front which is a terrible job for anybody, today had a 3-5-2 formation written all over it. one up front means a 10 man defence which sends out the wrong message.
As for last season, That unforgivable decision against us at Wimbledon seemed to finish us off. when your manager can't lift your players to win one and draw on from 5 on the superb form we were showing the cracks were showing. The Stevenage game sealed it for me, All we had to do was score and we were up but we didn't and we all know the rest. To say we have the smallest budget in the league is a little exaggerated as we have a big squad which seems to be unused. Jimmy Bell recognised how easy we were to beat and how easy we give the ball away and can't seem to change formation.
The time has come to have a look at what the management are doing and have they taken the club as far as they can. I am not a Coley hater. I judge people on the results and performance, This season we had a massive influx of new players and the worst pre-season ever. The quality of opposition was poor. It is a tragedy that after the investment Andy Holt is putting in the team are letting everyone down, I know the Buck stops with John and Jimmy and they will do their utmost to turn things around. The attendances are dropping again the atmosphere is downbeat and we desperately need to revive our fortunes with a few wins immediately. Yes we are 9th in the league today but by the end of November we could be 5th or 20th we are that unreliable. That suggests there is something seriously wrong behind the scenes. If we have high quality players who have played at higher levels then we should be playing them week in week out until we are back on top of things. I have to say Matty pearson a player we all admire had a woeful day today, One or two players being off I can accept but the amount of players having an off day today was unacceptable and sends warning messages out. At times they were like 11 Strangers who were picked from the stand. I know that sounds harsh but just listen to the crowd. we need to have a full and frank review of where we are and what the plan is. I am not advocating we sack the manager tomorrow or anything as drastic as that but we need to monitor the progress.
