Coventry is Huge

[baggieal]

Also we do have some very good players at this division
We should play to their strengths
Players like Diangana and Robinson play well of balls into feet and quick interchanges into the last third
I heard so much about a hard working high pressing team I don’t see a lot of that either certainly not in a way that makes the opposition panic at the back or lump it or that we win back possession quickly

I just don’t get what he’s trying to do other than lump it into the box at all opportunity from whatever angle you can which is not playing to our strengths at all
Adapt to your surroundings Val, problem is we are giving him and the squad a get out of jail free card by blaming the owner so they can just have an excuse for not doing well this season

I’m 100% behind getting rid of Lai he’s absolutely shafted us, selling Periera for pittance, getting rid of Hegazi out of the blue crazy

But I think we have a team which could be doing well in this division, I know we are third but we are dropping not rising, and like I said I think that giving the manager and players an excuse to fail will not help us at all

Mick, Al you guys have people working for you and you have to motivate them
Do you agree when you give people an excuse to under perform most will do just that, it’s the ones that have pride and self motivation that will continue to do well, but I suspect the modern day footballer doesn’t have these traits as they will continue to be able to buy cars, buy fancy clothes and shag birds etc etc even if we don’t go up

Good post BS - it’s a lot harder to motivate staff on £10/15 but if footballers can’t be motivated on 20 grand plus a week they need to do one! 68 did a good post later in the thread!

There’s a cocktail of wrongs - lack of quality in the squad - no striker - players not buying into Val’s style and players thinking they are better than they are. I would say we don’t have one player who is Premier class now!

The Board are clueless and will hang Val out to dry and the owner a complete disgrace!

I would question Val over a few things including not bringing in youngsters but he must feel like packing his bags! Easier to motivate younger hungry players and those who are not star struck like Barnsley last year!

I hate player power which ultimately finished Pepe Mel so any players like that can f uck off for me!

I predict if we lose at Coventry then the large away following will turn on both the Board and Val.

The club is disgracefully run at the moment and like Blood said - Snodgrass was another poor signing - he’s injury prone and seen better days!

Who does our recruitment? A white guy with a stick?

The owner needs to go for me before a manager as honestly don’t think anyone will do much with this squad! It’s easier to motivate youngsters like those at Coventry as they will go the extra mile to impress. Some of ours such as Ajayi - Livermore - Snodgrass - Hugill - Phillips are complete s hite! Diangana and Grant are completely lazy and don’t do much!

Worrying that Clarke and Mowatt have gone off the boil too! Bring in some youngsters as they can’t do any worse!
