Flitcroft post match

[Son Of Sherwood]

Doing a fair impression of the Prime Minister here...

(for clarity of the above... it's all their fault, with added bonus of reasonable description of the inside of Megs ar*e)

[DogsDoDahs]

The inept description about the team performance should in fact be describing his own assets. Starting a game again at home with ONE STRIKER on the pitch is unforgivable. Setting up a team not to lose BUT no chance of winning, better not to concede at all, than scoring more goals than you concede. Such a negative approach by a defensive manager who in defeat would rather blame his players rather than HIS system. His system will fail yet again and after it does he will be replaced. Should have been a lot sooner lets hope the next manager has an attacking mindset from day one.

I think he summed it up perfectly.

In my opinion you are trying to sow some "Flitcroft out" seeds.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

But sacking managers when a club is almost there is not usually wise. I don't apologise for mentioning Notts County again as a shining example.

Could he have picked a stronger team, with what he had available ?

Did the players perform even at their medium level ?

The starting line up was okay and I think it may have snatched a 1-0 win.

The insane substitutions and the constant dicking around with the formation, especially the back line cost us the game.

Oh Andy as always you are wearing your rose coloured spectacles, I wish I had a pair, my whole life would be a lot better

Got to agree, DF comes across as very calm on the touchline, but in moments yesterday he lost composure and after the last Sub the players were totally lost as to the plan and what to do. First time for a while that we looked like headless chickens rushing around aimlessly

"The ball came back too easy from the top of the pitch".....................????????????????

What do you expect when you just pump the ball forward to two of the most inept aerial forwards in the Leage? Tyler Walker and CJs skills are with the ball in front of them on the ground not competing with 6ft 2 physical defenders...............Walker won one flick on today and CJ might as well not have jumped the 6 inches he managed but its not their fault......why doesnt he see the ineptitude of such a tactic......but then of course "we're going to work on it in training all week" .....and still look the same next Saturday.

I was elated to get DF when the fat boy jumped ship and have stuck by him but I cant be the only one switching off to his Plan A tactics and boring .....rambling....and did I say boring.....post match interviews where you quickly click off because youve forgotten what the question was in the first place?

[oldweststander]

Question for DF.

Why did you and your players not see that Walker didn't win a header in 90 mins, but persist in punting it up to him.

Why did you and your players not notice that Nicky Hunt, second oldest player on the pitch, didn't need to break sweat, he just headed away for 90 mins.

The inability of the managrment and your players to change things re, play it on the ground, astounds us all.

Exactly what I was thinking listening to him again you could roll any of the post match vids from County, Crawley , Vale games and still no sign of improvement in tactics . Get Rose fit ASAP at least he will put the graft in for 90 mins .
