That shit show was nothing short of disrespectful to the 1211 fans that turned up. We too could have decided the season ended last week and not bothered turning up just like the team did and they could have played in front of a few hundred but we didn’t.
I understand as manager Sads sometimes has to try and keep things positive but if he seriously thinks we played the better football in the first half the guy is a complete idiot. Where exactly, did our defence play better than theirs definitely not, up front, no look at the quality of our balls in to theirs, the best I could say was that there was not too much between the teams elsewhere 1st half.
Yes, try and keep a positive attitude but people will get very pissed off when you treat them with such contempt and as idiots by coming out with such obvious, utter bullshit. That’s just as disrespectful as what the team served up and does not do the players and favours either if he’s repeating it to them in private.
If he seriously thinks that the man is a complete fool, if not he needs to learn a lot about communicating with fans and particularly ours. A line from the Black Country Anthem " a place without pretension", take head Matt.
As for that period in the second have, it could have been 6,7,8, think of a number and only wasn’t because the Wombles decided they’d done enough and eased off. We meanwhile only started playing a bit of decent football with 6 minutes to go which is the only credit the team can take, that they still did that and tried at the end, when they could have just gone through the motions and seen it out after what had gone before.
Don’t treat us like morons Matt! That’s just as disrespectful as what the team served up.
A disturbing end to the season. The loss and unlikely replacement of Hutchison could well see us testing our league status again . The club remains soft.
The most worrying thing for me in that interview was his comment about the importance of loan players.Looks like we will looking at 5 again which presumably will include some forwards! Surely the Draper affair should have taught us that it is a risky business relying on loans to score the goals we need.
Most, if not all, teams in League 2 have loan players. It’s a feature of the game since the better off sides started to hoover up all the young talent. The Johnson loan was an exception due to strange circumstances. So, I do not see any problems with loan players except that they can be called back at any time. We suffered badly losing Bennett and Draper. I wonder if there is any way of having a loan player that is guaranteed to stay for the season.
It’s a dilemma.
Bring in loans that are shite and everyone asks why the hell did we bring him in - waste of time.
Bring in loans that do well and are then recalled and everyone points out that we shouldn’t be reliant on loans
Works both ways as well. If they are shite we can send them back.
Seems the norm these days to have 4 or 5 in the squad and most likely keeps the wage bill manageble.
I’d be pretty annoyed with that if I was Sadler. He’s gone out to bat for those players on a number of occasions this season, and they haven’t repaid him at all at crucial times.
I think it’s time for a bit of a reality check, and a refocus on exactly what we need to be a consistent challenger at the top of the division.
Orrrr; bring in loans that are absolutely prolific, go the extra mile to sign them on a permanent deal, then play strikers that pose no threat instead all season. People saying we need to sign some proven strikers. Errrr we had one - and hes spent the entire season getting splinters in his harris
Crawley, a team in absolute carnage off the field, are in a play off place. Proof again that positivity or negativity in the board room doesn’t always have a direct impact on what happens in the dugout.
Still cannot get my head around the contact extension. Trivela, for all their stirling work, still have a PR ricket in them
