Quote from: The Beast on August 20, 2023, 09:16:47 amI watch Richard Wood and I feel like getting my boots back out, he’s as stiff as a board. To be fair to him though I don’t think our full backs are much cop, Senior looks suspect, every time he gets the ball blasts it aimlessly down the line and our midfield is woeful, Tommy Rowe is carrying so much muscle but is now too old to carry it around the pitch, he’s 2 yards off the pace, a bigger concern to me than Richard Wood. I always knew that if things didn’t start swimmingly, people would remember where Wood came from and make him the scapegoat.Absolutely nothing to do with where he’s come from.

To be fair notts county have had 2/3 years learning how this manager wants to play. Obviously not long ago they were struggling much more than we are and a few years of stability has got them to this. We seem to be giving our manager 4 games before we’re writing him and his team off

We seem to be giving our manager 4 games before we’re writing him and his team off Literally no-one is writing off McCann or the team.You seem to have a problem with anyone, anytime making evidence-based criticisms and you blow them up into big black and white arguments.Have a look at what people actually say and respond or don't respond to that. Give it a rest with these arguments against people who don't exist.
We are playing in a way (and it’s been the same for a few years) that whoever isn’t in the team is “better” than those in it.

I was more suggesting that better players (at Rotherham) making him look good. Dipstick.

I agree with this.And it feels because we have a lot of players of similar ability who don’t make enough impact when they play.I said last year when we signed Lavery, Lakin etc that we had a squad full of “squad players”.Time will tell with this group but I hope some start to take things by the scruff of the neck and make their places in the team their own.
And once again Dickos, you are conflating justified criticism with "writing off".Simple questions. Do you think, on balance, we have been very poor in out first 4 league matches? And do you think it is unreasonable to discuss that?
The overreaction on here, and on other threads is incredible. Last season everyone on this board was crying out for a new manager and a new team. We’ve got both. The pay off for those significant changes though is that it takes time for everything bed into place. It’s completely unrealistic to expect things to change quickly, so far this season we’ve played 5 competitive games. We’ve looked good in one, ok in one and poor in three. It’s disappointing, of course it is, yet probably more realistic than some expectations on here. We need patience rather than a meltdown. Also, in the 1980/81 season we lost 4, drew 1 and won 1 of our first 6 competitive games. We ended the season being promoted.
