It's pretty clear he's lost the dressing room already. Going to be a slog to the end of the season.
I wouldn’t place that much significance on what Burchnall (or any manager) says after the game, at least not this early. He’s got a squad with extremely fragile confidence which needs to try and get in the play-offs, he isn’t going to come out and say they’re terrible.
Some interesting points have been made post match.
Agree with Kyle you are dead in the water if you lose the dressing room.
His interviews especially post match have been very good until today but that will be due to disappointment of the game and pressure it raises, the usual reason we've seen past managers give.
Finally the scenario of game after game after game, limited time on the training pitch combined with it being a new squad (& manager for the players) and him wanting to experiment we can't be too surprised that there has been a downturn in results.
Short term I'm very confident we would have been better placed this evening but it's all about the longer term.
I get that he wants to try different things but **** me, putting that side out today was a disaster. It was called before that we would struggle to create, and we did.
Why on earth would you play so many players that have zero creativity and THEN flood the bench with the same types of player.
Shocking team selection got exactly the performance that was expected.
IB is useless.
