Mason?s Moments no 1

[Prando]

"sometimes in tight games you need moments of brilliance and we had two moments today."

in the second half, they had their best spell, were on the front foot, and for us it was about trying to get through that moment.

We lacked a bit of creativity in the final third. In the second half, we had a 10-minute spell, where it was our moment to attack them and try and cause them some problems,

the first half for 25 minutes, i thought we played a really good game. We had loads of final third entries, loads of moments.

"every game in this league is demanding and challenging - we had so many moments that didn't materialise and we need to improve on that."

it's a disappointing result and it's not good enough. I could speak all day long about the performance and positives, the moments we created,

the one thing i will say is they are giving me everything and they are putting everything into it but it's not enough at the moment. It's another one that we shouldn't have lost but have done and the feeling inside the dressing room is there is a lot of anger.
"i'm fine. It's football and i know what it takes. I am in this position and i can handle it but for whatever reason at the moment the results aren't good and it is my responsibility to fix."

gets yours for xmas a bag of sugar coated mason?s moments

Great

More moments. .,,,,

Blues are a good side and teams have spells and they have moments. It?s about getting through those ten-minute periods. If we score the second, it?s a completely different game.

?We had moments and opportunities but we didn?t make them count and ultimately we?ve been punished once again for not making the most of the situations we had.

i can't bear to watch or listen to him, last night is was a competition between him and the Birmingham manger who shook their head the most, must be a Tottenham thing

I am not crazy about his in game management at times, but I think we are improving and the lads are clearly playing for him.

We need more confidence in the final areas. We had several really good chances yesterday that would have wrapped up the game. Price particularly is a smashing player but I dont think he is finishing well and is probably not a number 10.

I am a bit more confident it will come together and we are not stale. A couple of quality additions to this squad and we might be a force next season.

I also thought the players seemed to be committed, but just not good enough to convert the chances.
I was disappointed to see the delay in substitutions-I think it was Diakite standing ready to come on for quite a while.
I was expecting to see Mikey being subbed (would have avoided his foolish foul which resulted in their goal) but I expect Mason was nervous to take him off given the understandable flack he received for subbing him vs Coventry.
I’m afraid Mason is not strong.
As an aside, returning to the Mulumby incident, surely Mozza would have advised Mason to take him off after the yellow card ?
MUST win vs Swansea

Agree Matt, Mason has been with us for five months. We have had eleven managers/ coaches in ten years. (I stand to be corrected) and I think that speaks for itself. Last night was a vast improvement, so Mason needs to be given more time. As you suggest Matt let’s look to next season. With a few additions we might may be a force once more.

Patience is required, not another knee jerk reaction. Mason is young and he is learning. Not backing him is tantamount to not backing youngsters in the team.

Survival is what this season is about now.

Only last April we ditched a manager. I recall how I saw that then and if we do it again now, who on earth would we get and more importantly, who would even want to take on such a poisoned chalice.

My posts from April 21st this year or thereabouts.

How long it will stay fresh before the out, out brigade start shouting is a matter to be seen.

Just for once could we not give a manager a chance.

Round and round and round and round?????..well the majority spoke and off we go again. Who will want to be the next victim.

Players rule. Well done to all those who have what they wished for. Careful what you wish for. We did the same to Big Dave. We do it again.

God help us.

Let?s hope the right person is brought in a timely fashion. If we struggle to find that right person and that may be more difficult than we think, as there may be some that will shy away from a club who provides little time for a manager to set about what they wish done and with what appears to be a backdrop of player control and unrest, then we could well be up against it.

I suspect Mr Patel and the board will already have someone lined up. If they have not then we may find ourselves in a situation whereby the summer is passing and we are managerless. That would be a problem, as who will make any decisions on players in and out. We could end up once again with a manager managing players they inherited.

I really hope the above scenario is not what occurs.
