Stevenage Post Match Thoughts

[RU66]

Not sure if kaleta will be fit. Carrying a Knock. Martha on the left would help with match fitness also swap Raggett with Jules. No point taking a risk with Raggett two games in a week

Martha looks lightweight not what we need.

Ogbene was when he arrived.

There are a few posters on here who refuse to see the truth. Just like a bloke who sits by me, who seems to think that because MH is from Romish, everything is fine.

A few points:

- we have a smaller budget that last year but it’s still bigger that a lot in this division. Like Stevenage. Simply put, it has been spent on dross. And that sits with MH.

- we dispatched JCH and kept Hughill. That seemed to bring much joy on here. Fact is, JCH was still better at that lazy, arrogant lump. It’s time to show him the door NOW. Brin bet me he would score over 10 goals this season! Hahahah

- MH said he couldn’t promise us results but he could promise us effort and organisation. Turns out he can’t. He’s not a leader. He may be a good coach but he’s not a leader and simply, that isn’t going to work. Listen to Alex Revell’s pre match interview. He’s a leader.

- where is Stewart these days? Speak up. If you’re not interested (which you clearly are not) then put the club up for sale, visibly. Let the fans know what your intentions are, so they can decide if they want to buy-in or not.

What will happen next can still be influenced but if nothing happens we will be relegated.

I think you've made it pretty clear that you don't like MH for some obscure reason and seem to be willing him to fail so you can say "I told you so."
You've also made some definitive judgements after just TWO games.
Bizarre, but typical of too many of our so-called supporters.

Ogbene was when he arrived.

He kept Lamy out of the side so didn't look it to me. Couldn't defend but early could see wide right getting forward was effective.

Lamy his best position was same but Warney played him on the left then said couldn't defend.

I don't understand this attacking other posters on here, if you disagree then say so but explain why, have a debate about what is happening at the club and on the pitch, moaning that other posters are being negative or saying what they think about what they see is not a discussion. Personally I think we will improve and some of these players will come good, and I think we will finish in the top half if those things happen, and we get the rest of this window right. However at the moment there are a lot of things not right and to be fair to MH he says so, he knows that the level of work rate and effort is not at the levels he and the fans expect. Work rate and effort is nothing to do with new players new system it is attitude and desire, the levels we have seen in preseason and now is a worry for MH and it should be a worry for us as fans. Let us hope that MH, DT, Warrington and woody can get that sorted asap. UTM

Woody it's too cosy one of the boys. Not for me.

2 crap teams but one we beat who then hold Cardiff to a draw and one who beat us went away to Blackpool and scored three goals for 3 points. If these are the crap teams we are in trouble

Did you see the 3 goals they scored?Have a look on you tube, if nowt else you will have a laugh.I also watched vale v cardiff, both teams were poor,wouldnt be surprised if they both end up in the bottom six.I"m not a doom and gloom merchant, neither am i a happy clapper, i am a realisrt, who can already see most of last years problems, are at least as bad, if not worse.Hope i"m wrong, but i rarely am unfortunately.

[Citizen Erased]

The recruitment team have a bought what they can, which is evidently very little.

We've kept multiple poor performing players on massive wages who haven't worked for successive managers.

Having a pop at MH for it is daft.

Having a pop at other posters for pointing out the obvious is also daft.

The reason isn?t obscure. You just chose to ignore the points I have made because you can?t argue with them.

I'm not even going to try to argue after just TWO games. It seems ridiculous to me that people want everything to be instant nowadays.
I'll wait and see how things develop after a few more matches and then express an opinion.
One thing I will say though is that I think we'd probably be better going to 4-5-1 because of the injuries as I can't see TS increasing the budget to address the problem.

It?s not just about 2 games. This is a result of poor management at all levels

We know it is. Matt is trying to sort it.

Give it a rest.

Is that how you try and debate by closing people down?

Pathetic

Would you say it wasn?t too early to sack MH then? He has to be given time in my opinion.

There has been some good points made on this thread and I would go along with the ones that are suggesting that the type of play we saw on Saturday was a type we didn?t like last season and it was mainly the old pros that were doing it.

The left for me was played with one twos but lead to nothing.
They didn?t include the new signings.

I would also say that the sole player that showed any emotion was Martha. The complained at the runners and possibility of making a pass being non existant.

Debate? Although I am driving a lot today I will come back to you. And respond politely.

[frogmiller]

Can everyone remember that this thread is about putting across you thoughts on the match stated in the title.

Please try to debate if you have time.

Try to comment on what someone else has written if you can politely.

It is for us all to use and keep using.
