Wimbledon post match reflections

Suicidal

Good start to both halves. First 15 mins of 2nd half, we threw everything at them and played very well. But then the key newly returned players clearly ran out of puff, cramps set in and we went flat 5 or so mins before they freshened up from the bench, and you could see the equaliser coming. It was painfully clear that their subs made them stronger, ours did the opposite.

Crucial game on Tuesday, hopefully get Gore back and hope to sustain more of the way we played start of the 2nd half.

Can anyone seriously see anything other than L2 football for us next season?

Shame we've come to this

2 then minute spells followed by a right load of ****e. And then the clown steps in with the substitutions.

[RU66]

Gray not what we need. We're lightweight enough to start with. Apart from a short spell after we scored a relegation performance.

[Back of the net]

Incompetent coach makes horrendous substitutions. He?s taking us down. Get him out of the club a fraud of momentous levels.
Those substitutions are amongst the worst I?ve seen. Nombe I get but he?s cost us the points. He?s arrogant but more dangerous than that he?s thick as pig ****. .

[Lasterman]

Some good football at the start of both halves, but the substitutions killed us. When they were made I said there's no way we'll score another now and then, of course, we conceded. Hughill is just filling a shirt at this stage. May as well have left Gray on who at least looked threatening. Short of getting Warnock back again, I don't see us getting out of this now.

[Old_time_miller]

Just maybe the subs were forced.

Ok Matt?.

Positives....we didn`t lose,Jules had a great game,so did Spence while it lasted,Baptiste is getting better,young Gray looked better than most of our other strikers.
Both teams looked nervous and mostly devoid of ideas,we had lots of effort,but little quality,then we score and all of a sudden we look 2 yards quicker,and at that point a second goal kills the game.
But some of our returning players ran out of beans,and we are weaker again,apart from Martha who did well.
Football is a confidence game,which was back once we scored,but we are a frigile team on a terrible run,a win on Tuesday is a must.

What did Gray do apart from cutting inside? Their equaliser showed you how's it done getting on the outside defence splitting cross in taken well. We were hardly a threat most of the game. Need Gore back in midfield. If we're going to play with wing backs need one on the right who can defend as well as getting forward.

Today was a must win game never mind Tuesday.
The first half was just aimless balls up top and when we did win it which wasn’t often we didn’t win the second balls.
That tactic is on the manager.
Second half changed the formation we looked good but switched back again and shock horror we conceded.
He cost us today he’s literally getting away with taking us down another level.
The fact it’s a positive we didn’t lose sums up how much some of you will accept because it’s MH.
Some fans are happy with relegation because it’s good old Matt from Rawmarsh.
You reap what you sow/accept and some of you will accept anything from this stubborn arrogant man because you happen to like him.

It would be very easy to lay into a man that is in a job he doesn?t have the ability to do, in fact that could be quite a few people at RUFC. We didn?t lose, so he now knows that his record as the manager that led us to the worst string of results at this level stands at seven.

Martha wasn?t as bad as previously when he came on. Jules was excellent and showed why recruiting another center back was pointless, a player that MH has told the local press he is happy to see move on this week!! We see yet again that playing three at the back is a disaster when other teams play fast wide players, because there is often a gap behind the wing backs for them to exploit.
They did and crossed and his CB agbaire lost his man and they score from a cross and simple header.

We play two good forwards in gray and nombe, they like it to feet or for them to run onto wide, so our coaches yet again plays the ball long in the air down the middle all the first half. When we start to play the ball on the floor or down the wings we score and look good, not hard Matt. The subs were forced on him, Kaleta got a knock and signaled to the bench ten minutes before he went off and Spence was forced off with cramp or another injury, same with Nombe. However it is MH that decided to sent Ayres out and you cannot tell me that Ayres would be worse than Hugill for 15 minutes, how slow was Hugill to move to that chance at the near post?

No idea why yearwood went off I assume it is an injury he did ok, not brilliant but ok. Being he knew he would have had to take kaleta and Spence off before the end, due to their current fitness, why not plan for that and have yearwood on the bench to come on and start with Martha wide like he did in the second half. Our players are not fit and recovering from injuries doesn?t appear to be very good, so we have a failing manager a failing coach and a failing fitness coach, a COO that doesn?t seem to know what is happening and a chairman that doesn?t seem bothered. Remember we have been told by PD that neither the manager or fitness coach have raised as an issue the fact we do not have full time physios helping players stay fit or recover, and yet our key players cannot last a full game.

As for the times we played well today it was 10 mins at the start of the first half and 15 mins at the start of the second, so 25 mins out of 100 mins, in a game we really had to win. 25% of the game we did wel but as I said at the start, the good news is we did not lose.

[Tigerish]

For several months I've been saying the dumplings in the dugout are taking us down and we need a new goalkeeper
I'm still right.
The substitutions cost us the game. We should not be defending a slim lead at home out of fear and needless to say it backfired
How much longer do we have to suffer this managerial ineptitude?
There are far better candidates out there

[Jocksgloves1]

Two teams today. The team that can keep us up and, post -substitutions, the team that can't.
We really needed that second goal during that four attempts scramble, but sadly it wasn't to be.
Disappointed with the booing from the kop, maybe if they put that much effort into actually encouraging the players....
