January priorities

[In the box]

To bring players in ,McCann has to get players out . But with so many players either out injured or just not piling their weight , how many needs to be brought in ??

[Iberian Red]

Perhaps it's time for a complete change,from top to bottom.
The high press isn't working.
The attractive football is more hit and miss,more miss.
Our league position is worse.
Grant has to step up and accept he hasn't delivered.

I think that is what we have been attempting.

[Lesonthewest]

Olowu, Anderson, Rowe, Hurst, Taylor, Biggins, Roberts, Wood, & at least 1 of the keepers need to go. We won't improve if we don't bring in better.

[Sammy Chung was King]

I don’t think McCann should be replaced, he is capable of building a good side. He can’t afford some of the performances that his sides have produced though. He has to be backed in January in moving players in and out.

McCann is fine with a well bedded in team but he started as a new manger with players who hadn’t played together as well . So a perfect f*** storm ! Players are here  to the end of the season so it’s a change of manager required and a big personality with it !! EVANS is my choice ., offer him a big purse for next season and watch him go !!

A player like Tyler Smith would transform our attack.

[mushRTID]

A centre back like their number 5 would be fantastic.

[Chris Black come back]

Tyler Smith at centre back would be an improvement.

[drfchound]

A centre back like their number 5 would be fantastic.

I was saying the same at the match.
Their 5 was a very good player, strong, great in the air and with his feet.
A proper defender.

[The Beast]

A player like Tyler Smith would transform our attack.

Our strikers are perfectly adequate for this level, it’s the other 9 who let us down.

[Danmckay456]

Giving Anderson a new contract was a big mistake he’s a liability in defence has too many mistakes in him and usually walks the tightrope on a yellow card most games and too many goals we let in are from his mistakes.

[andyst79]

Does anyone else not feel we could be in a relegation battle with our fragile defence and the injury situation? Our midfields piss poor without Westbrook holding it together.

That was my thoughts walking out of the ground last night, and still the same today, this last 3 seasons have really pissed me off

God forbid if Ironside gets injured we will really be screwed. Always difficult to bring in the right players in January and even more so when we're at the wrong end of the table.

My mate said last night that we are back looking over the shoulder at the few teams who are below us.

[BillyStubbsTears]

How much is Olowu worth?

I’d probably look to cash in.

He has valuable attributes but defenders with the heart of a mouse aren’t going to get you anywhere in L2. And we’ve done nothing but lose since he’s been in the defence.

He's worth nothing. No-one is ever going to pay money to take him off us.

This Olowu worship is truly mystifying.

Yeah just not good enough, be glad to see the back of Close when his contracts up at the end of the season also.

Why, other than he’s been poor the last few games.

You’ve just given the answer, I know he’s not the quickest, but for the last few games he looks lethargic and a lot slower

[BillyStubbsTears]

It's not just the last few games. It's more often than not whenever we come up against a functional attack.

The lad is simply not very good at defending. I desperately want him to succeed, but it's really not going to happen.

[Chris Black come back]

For interest, this was the squad McCann had at his disposal in his final game for us:

Marosi
Blair
Downing
Butler
Andrew
Kane
Rowe
Whiteman
Coppinger
Marquis
Wilks
 
Substitutes
Lawlor
Wright
Crawford
Anderson
Beestin
May
Sadlier

Close and Westbrooke are a decent combination if we can get a ball-winner alongside. Close will at least get on the ball and look to make things happen. With nothing in support, it's no wonder he struggles to last 90 minutes.

How am I or anyone else for that matter worshipping him? He is not a success here but has saleable attributes that some look for - pace and above average ability on the ball for this level.

Billy saying he is desperate for olowu to succeed is the funniest post of the year

Our midfield three needs to be Close, Westbrooke and Bailey. Build the team around that.

[Chris Black come back]

Close and Westbrooke out of contract in summer. Neither of them has unsullied injury records.

There isn’t a player in our current squad who get in that eleven Rowe was far better then. It shows how the level of our players have fallen.

Yeah. You've got me.

Of course, what I actually want is for our players to fail so that I can sit here smug as f**k.

Jesus wept, the state of some people on here...
