    More likely to encourage them to ditch Holden. Must be about time we had a new manager..

    who the fuck is the set piece coach
  • Chin up everyone. 

    We've still got Kirk and Jayiemi to bring on .
    And more good news.

    We are still outside the bottom four 
  • Hector was part of a terrible defense last season. A big name and a player with pedigree but not been impressed when I have seen him (not watched a game this season tbf).  Terrel Thomas the same. Our defense last year was bad and we have kept most in and are supposedly chasing Sess too.. needed a rebuild.

    I need to go back 6 months for all of those 'Hector is a cheat code in this division' comments. 

    We overrate our players so much.

      Substitution

      Substitution, Port Vale. Gavin Massey replaces Ethan Chislett because of an injury.

    Copy paste: We break with CBT but edit: cross cut out

    Note. Would have dropped perfectly for an onrushing May.

    Nothing will.

    After their second Holden and Senda just sat there looking shocked. Even now he doesn't look like he's recovered. 

    Over the last two weeks I've constantly thought about what the Not Top 20 podcast said: Charlton made some excellent signings, and the biggest question is how good is Dean Holden?

    Obviously injuries are a huge problem at the moment, but I don't feel like this side has an identity. We're not possession, we're not hoofball, we're not strong defensively, we're not counter attack, we're kind of a little of everything and a lot of nothing. We seen to just hope that our quality will outshine theirs. 

    Dean seems like a lovely guy and a great ambassador. But I have serious questions about his tactical abilities. We lump the ball into the channels and bypass the midfield a lot, and that takes our strongest part of the team out of the game. We have four good L1 CBs and we don't defend well.

    I...am worried. I wonder how patient the new owners will be.

    Why is your first thought to dig out other fans? It’s so weird

    Holden in a suit
    He's just come from a job interview 

    Let's hope he gets it cos he's gonna need a new job soon if he can't coach a team to defend or take set pieces or score or win.

    Once we scored we switched off. I knew they would come back. I could feel it. 
    Holden not good enough I’m afraid. He’ll be out soon.

    CBT gets in behind and then his cross picks out a defender…. again. 

    We’re the most predictable fucking team in history. Seen this same shit what feels like every week for half a decade.

    All the same problems and mistakes on and off the pitch just being repeated over and over and over again.

    I feel stuck in some kind of football purgatory and I’m really really bored of it now.
