Match Thread vs. Chesterfield 20.02.21 [NL]

[St Kitts Magpie]

What is the point in bringing in another midfielder? We could bring in De Bruyne and Foden and even then Doyle and Reeves would be first choice. They would be sat on the bench if they were lucky enough to even make the squad.

They would need to prove themselves in training first though..

[St Kitts Magpie]

And yet come Tuesday Doyle , Reeves and dare I say Wootton will all start and play the full ninety..( Wootton just based on the fact he looks knackered )
Not saying that Sam or Effiong deserve starts ahead of him but isn't it the case that these players need a proper chance before they are deemed useless. We all knew Sam was going to get hooked today regardless of how he played...

It's like the start to an episode of the Wacky Races, quite the lineup tonight

Well I guess it's been awhile so not a surprise, 28th December by all accounts.

The only thing Ardley has done consistently since being here is put on inept performances, even when we have won games

And as bad as we were vs mighty Weymouth, all people was saying "well got 3 points didn't we"

Par for the course, we're all p***ed off when we lose. Some show it by attacking, some by hiding and some by looking forward to the next opportunity to hope for 3 points. Each to their own

COYP!

I hate being critical of players but I think I’ve seen enough of Sam to make a judgement regardless of adjustment time to English football. If I was the owners/Ardley I would be hell bent on looking for a goal scoring forward whatever the cost.

I know you will hate it, but maybe you should start being critical of the man in charge aka Ardley

At last, he's surfaced! No silly names or hashtags, just a smiley face. Awful defeat, and I know I will leave myself open to the usual 'obsession' charges, but this thread does give me a perfect opportunity to illustrate how football messageboards work. A defeat brings out the more negative posters, and those who criticise negativity tend go into hiding. A win does the exact opposite. So where have you been laddo? After a win you have often posted things like "Where's Davy", "Where's Pedro" etc. If we had scored a couple of late goals today and won everyone knows you would be all over the match thread like a rash, painstakingly and mockingly highlighting every single post that was critical when we went a goal down (or were losing 1-1 to nick your phrase). I'm sure you can offer a reason for your absence, maybe the new series of Strictly has started for all I know. You don't need to. It's the way boards like this work and you're exactly the same as the ones you criticise, just the other side of the coin! The sooner you accept that the better for all concerned.

Exactly what I've just said, but you took far fewer words!

This is true
To honest i am pissed of today that we did not win, to some extent the damage was partially limited by torquays defeat
the silver lining, is not having to listen to the Ardley brigade blowing their horns, and coming out with complete fantasy nonsense, ie that is the best we have ever played bla bla

I had to as I only have a few left. Need to get to the local wordsmith's on Monday to stock up. I'm also almost completely out of Zs. Hope I can get some later tonight
