To not get beat by 7 or 8 and as long as the lads put an honest shift in then that is fine? Why not try and at least have a go once we go behind but nothing chaged, in fact it got worse as we let Chelsea come at us and sat back for most of the second half.
    I must be naive but I thought footie was supposed to be entertaining.
    I guess we’re all managers on here CIB and BT always asks about the definition of insanity.
    So why keep playing balls in the air to Fleming who couldn’t win anything against the two massive centre backs , here’s an idea get the wide men to turn their defence and run the channels , instead of sitting in and offering nothing offensively at all. ( to be fair to Loum he tried 3-4 times in 1st half )
    As I said on previous post teams find it easy as We play football in front of their defence and not behind them ( if I can see that you can see at and ballcock - Parker can see it as well but he doesn’t address it even in the game ).
    We are linked again with Seargent who’s a decent player but is he prolific or carry enough threat to keep us up -,I’d look at spending on a creative midfield man and a pacey wide man that will consistently go at teams - I think to be fair I’d take Seargent as his link up play is v good.

    For me anyway for any chance of survival we are going to have to have a go at teams in games and really look to get beyond and stretch their defences otherwise just like Chelsea they’ll have the easiest afternoons against us.

    Parker has made a rod for his own back imo as he seems to think it’s Ok to lose by a dignified margin as they are teams full of superstars and the result is the important thing - I’m the other way I’d like to see us actually compete and try and get something in a game.

    Physcologically if you tell people enough that they?re better than you and it?s alright - well it becomes - alright and for me that?s a dangerous place to be.
