I said before, I would sack Tommy Wright. To steal a Poochism - dinosaur. His Barnsley recruits seem like some of our weakest performers.
You are right to be angry Dancing - there is a difference between losing like you were trying to win and going down as though the sole aim was simply to be present on the pitch for 90 minutes.
Fundamentally my objection is we seem to be tinkering from week to week and it is proving inadequate. So I'd like to see something a bit more radical - a different style, or shape, or way of playing, or personnel - just a more obvious attempt at lighting the blue touch paper. If it fails, it fails, but we seem to be hoping to creep out of trouble, snatch a few points here and there and maybe Barnet and Crewe or somebody will go on an even worse run .....
Jack sounds like an imaginative, creative man, but he is coming up with intensely boring solutions. Losing run? Drop a defender. Who? Obviously Maguire, because we always do that. Why not give him confidence, and select him anyway? Make him captain! Juniors win a big game, why not give 'em all a big boost, select one of them, put another on the bench ....... leave out a regular completely like Weir for a week, make a statement the whole team will understand! Set the team a target, say 12 efforts on goal, 5 on target, get that and win ....... and you get a day off next week. Bring some pole dancers in before the game, introduce art therapy, meditate, anyfkkknthing that changes the current mindset. We seem as though we are expecting to lose and the fans can feel it. We're on railway lines and there's nobody in the signal box.
By the way, you can't wait for Carson to decide to be there to demonstrate etc ......... do it well enough and loud enough and it'll go home, make its mark. Keep doing it and he either has to stay away forever, or turn up for the experience. And make it clear that if at any time he and/or DA want to communicate with the fans so people have some idea of the club's future, then the demonstrations will stop, fans will listen and respond rationally ............. But discipline and organisation are the keys to success and judging by Bob's I fear they might be steps too far.
