Kewell our or relegation

[DannyNotts]

Title says it all. That was disgusting. Worse performance in years and worse than under Fullerton. 0-0 65 mins take off you’re only striker for a CB and play for a 0-0 Hahhaah enzio wanting to stay up when defending corners and he calls him back. Kewell is a ****ing idiot and so is Alan for appointing him. But he is the one who’s taken then hit financially so he’s made an awful bet and needs to take the loss and gamble once more on a manager.

If only managers had probation periods when they started a job. In the space of 90 minutes, I’ve gone from thinking people were crazy to call for HK’s head to questioning how interested he is in the job and whether he has a clue.

That was a horribly negative lineup he put out. And according to his line of thinking, because Oldham started on the front foot it was game over for us and backs to the wall for 90 minutes.

Mind you, it would help if we had a midfielder who could tackle or pass.

On paper it shouldn't have been. Depending on how you interpret it, it was either a 4-3-3 with one holding midfielder and two attacking midfielders, or you could call it a 4-1-4-1. The problem is that unless the two supposedly attacking midfielders and (alternate) wingers move forward as a unit and get into the box to support the striker, you end up with what it looked like: seven (or even nine) players totally disconnected from your sole attacker.

I assume that you mean Kewell " OUT " or Relegation.

I have to agree with your sentiments.

Harry Clueless OUT !!!!!

Doesn't it just.

Why have we moved away from the 4-2-3-1 that served us well before the international break? Wasn't it 3 wins on the bounce and unbeaten in 5? Last night the midfield was so far back it left Dennis isolated upfront. The big boot to him was also a waste as he's not that type of player but then the midfield was too far away to pick up the second ball. We need an absolute beast in midfield, Karl Henry would have been the guy for the job but looks like he's off to Northampton now so that's another issue we are still to sort. We've been crying out for it all season, for all of the centre midfielders Nolan signed, not one is the kind to help defend, Milsom tries do it, Hewitt runs around a lot akin to Paul Holland with no actual impact, where are the tackles coming in? See second half of the playoffs against Coventry, O'Connor comes on and takes control of the midfield, where is that player in the squad? When we have that, the attack can attack

[Simon the Pieman]

I think we can assume we're out of the FA cup. AH needs to get rid now. Who wants non league football? Kewell, presumably.

[GranthamPie]

It makes me wonder whats the sodding point of Paul Hart as a Football Technical Director?

What the hell does he think to all of this?.... is he advising Kewell?

[DelroyFacey22]

What are people expecting Paul Hart to do? He's here to oversee the academy and presumably assist in the transfer market (and the window is closed currently).

Kewell is working with an awfully put together squad thanks to Nolan and I can't see it getting much better until January, we'll pick up points here and there and lose games here and there, do people really expect us to go on a fantastic run of form and fly up the table just because we changed manager?

That's exactly what it looked like, jackal2. At times we saw Dennis on his own up front, Boldeweijn on his own on either wing, Fitz in his goalmouth and eight also-rans hovering, all within thirty yards of each other.
