CC has got to stop with that stupid nonsense. He knows, we all know and it has to stop.

Brighton came to our gaff, and like everyone else knew to counter. Only this is a consistently solid team over the last few seasons, and we are not. This is a team that rarely concedes.. FFS I'm sick of going on and you are too.


I like CC I don't want him to get sacked, he's revolutionized the way we play football. I just want better, I want what the chairman outlined in his statement of intent. I'm sick of the same old same old, chopping and changing, half arsed performances.

I don't think the synergy of players we have is correct despite the calibre being exceptional on face value....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCyrrYUUqf0 he doesnt see it like we have mentioned he thinks this is acceptable at home ? i dont want the guy to leave as i think if we had him when we get to the premier league we will be a proper force for a long time with this football we play when its good that is but the way hes going about this season we are missing the boat completley one more month of this torture and all he will have left is a chance at the playoffs and thats like russian roulette ffs when we fucked up against Hull i thought that CC had shit his pot full and i dont think any differently now DC wont have him as boss should we fail to go up so why is he so feffing relaxed ?

He isn't always relaxed Imre, he does show passion and aggression from time to time when on the touchline.

One thing we aren't doing as much as last season is pressing the opposition.

CC changed his tactics and team for the Blackburn game and it worked (for an away game). Personally I dont think that team would have worked today, playing it v Blackburn is one thing, Brighton is another kettle of fish.

Fan's want to see there team try to attack at home not sit back and play on the break.

We are't finishing or defending as we did last season, they are the main reasons and the pressing  
I mentioned earlier.

I do wonder how much scouting of other teams we do also.

[Imre varadi]

I suppose he thinks we are better quality and dont have to press anymore for me he just sets the stall out wrong when there is no need too Today and in many other games it should have been set up tight lip from the start meaning dont play poodle or hunt and protect that idiot loomins with jones obvious wasnt it and then in other games against shite like wigan and Bristol he does the feffing opposite and starts of pateint ?? its schoolboy stuff what hes xxxx up at if he wants we will never concede a goal again all season just play hutch & jones across the back of the midfield instead of playing wallce and the best LB since worthington high up Loomins needs xxxx off we only think we need him or is it lees needs him he needs to man up bigtime so we can have sasso in the team and play some xxxx football instead of accomadating a donkey and as for the front line jesus hes turned fletcher into feffing nuhui only much better ffs this is a goal scoring genuis not a xxxx work horse donkey peice of shit fessi needs to leave his tantrum has cost us point and time and effort and now hes decided to be shit sell that xxxx after xmas goodbye hes lost it both on and off the field then theres Abdi wtf have we done and dont get me started on joao and nuhui when weve got sheffields answer to Rooney owen and fowler when they where kids best not i cant afford another computer

xxxx rubbish and yes we might win against the village but will we win the week after ? its a toss up with the team and manager weve got at the moment its up and down up and down .. and not good enough to get out of this annoying xxxx league

Headed off from the in laws in Staffordshire bright and early yesterday in great anticipation of the game.

Parked up at Owlerton and had a nice pint of draft Stones in the pub next door before heading to the shop. As others have commented not a great variety of stuff compared to other clubs and it really needs sorting. I mean a whole corner still trying to flog play off t shirts at 6 quid - ffs just ship them to the third world via Oxfam and take a tax write off !!

On the way into the South it was nice to see FF was busy signing autographs by the players entrance but didn't see where he had parked his bike.

So.because I am fortunate enough to afford it I did the cheapest hospitality package again but the cost has almost doubled since I went in February. The net effect of that is the club is probably losing money since there were only about 6 tables of people compared to 25-30 when I met up with MS and his son. The next table had one of the match mascots but I think his Dad was having as good a time or better than the kid was. Hirsty was doing the rounds again so had a chat with him and at HT he was back in the lounge with George and a few others from the youth team. As a comment to Imre there's no way young Hirsty would survive in the first team yet - he's far to lightweight and in comparison Joao looks like Arnold !
So to the game. I thought we did enough overall to get a draw but Brighton wanted it more. Simply put the styles were similar we were out muscled us all over the park sometimes unfairly but the ref seemed to give them more benefit of doubt while we got whistled. Also he seem to play on when he should have given us a foul or vice versa.

I had my doubts when I saw the team sheet and then when we lost the toss and were kicking towards the Kop the first half things got worse. Like a few said on praise or grumble later all this passing around at the back and side to side is getting boring and predictable. Westwood having to rush to the edge of his box to clear into touch was what led to his injury and after that he didn't want to kick long any more. We had little or no penetration with Dunk and Duffy taking no prisoners in spite of Fletcher trying his best. Their first goal came out of nothing with a quick through pass down the left. Westwood came off his line when maybe he should have stayed back and all he could do was to help the ball loop into the far corner.
Second half saw the enforced substitution of Westwood and the game continued in a similar way until around the 60th minute when we had a spell of sustained pressure with a goal line clearance and series of deflected shots. Then against the run of play we failed to clear properly the ball went out to their wide left and was played into the near post for knockaart to get in front of the defender and guide in past Dawson.

Losing Pudil to injury meant Reach going to LB and FF moving LM with hooper taking his place partnering Fletcher. If anything Reach saw more of the ball after that and should have scored but instead skyed it over the bar from a couple of yards out.
To be fair we kept going and Hooper did get the consolation but without enough time left to go for the equalizer.

Overall a bad day at the office with for me Lee being the only player worthy of more than a 5. The game yesterday followed previous patterns but without creating as many chances early on before conceding. We really need to start games being less cagey and going for more penetration and early goals. I know it is a long season but at the moment I don't think CC knows how to best use the talent at his disposal and Reach looked far too isolated most of the game.
At the moment making the play offs again is about as good as we can hope for but a lot can change yet.

I thought he did Ok but some of the crowd were on his back a little. Lees and Loovens were giving him encouragement and made sure he pushed up to the edge of the box when we were pushed forward and they were on the halfway line.
