Predicatable when I saw our starting eleven. Some is on the manager not undertstanding his squad and some is on lack of options. Interested to see his plan for the second half. At times we look like a pub team without the fight!
Dean Holden at half time: 'You beat Plymouth 5-1 so you're good players. If you don't know what you're supposed to be doing we'll go over it in my office tomorrow. 'Scuse me lads gotta take this call. Dobbo sort it out will ya?'
To me, this is the first time I've seen absolutely nothing from us. Not even a great deal of effort. No plan, long balls to stockley then Kanu, some short passing around. Nothing just nothing. No spark. No idea.
Chin, awful on the left can't blame him though as sure he wouldn't want to be there. Thomas way off the pace. Lavelle is back to being crap. Clare flatters to deceive, has been guilty of not getting back/ closing down quick enough. Stockley, it wasn't the armband.
Fuck off the lot of them, absolutely no fight whatsoever in this XI, where's the passion, the grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck, where's the old head calming everyone down and reminding them of their job? The oldest player in the squad is 29 ffs.
FWIW Sessegnon, Inniss, Lavelle and Fraser being "rotated" for tonight is not the right call, you play the best XI that's available and resting players for the upcoming Pompey game doesn't make any sense!

Ness: for the first time showing his lack of experience Payne: Cheap version of Fraser, doesnt do anything with it Henry: Needs a League Two loan, not minutes here and there
When Garner was sacked I said it was nothing more than shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic and so it is proving. Holden is not responsible for this IMO.

Brownie and Percey laughing at how bad it is ...and it's really fucking bad....worst I've seen in years!
Agree.

Guy talks a good game but his line ups show he hasn't got a clue.
Players are awful but at least we looked like we had a plan in the weeks previously. Now we are just resigned to relegation.
Suspect this is a set up.
