Conway's rushing can be a problem.

etc etc

you'll get a boot in the balls for your cheek
basically the problem was the lack of pressure from our front seven. they had plenty of time in the pocket and we we're leading the league in gashness!

Hugely satisfying night for those of us of the Tangerine persuasion! Must say, I thought that the Dons looked pretty poor, but I did think we were excellent.

You are forgetting the amazing pass he gave Langfield. Oh wait it wasn't amazing it was shocking. Langfield got the blame for that though as well.

I thought he had a half decent game first half but he was shocking in the second and couldn't pick his players up.
Our probably was that there wasn't any options and we were pushing forward enough, but that's been going on for a while now.

In better news Wales beat Norway 3-0 comfortably.

The last goal was a horrible mistake, but it was basically irrelevant. I thought overall Severin had a better game than Diamond, for example.

If players need lifted for a semi-final then they're beyond saving. Got humped by United when Anderson was captain too mind, was that his fault? He's a had a poor season, but I think Calderwood's totally ruined Severin. He's switched him about between midfield and centre back constantly, which has him playing as often as not with Diamond, with whom he's very obviously incompatible, he's brought him back into the side at times when he's not been back to full fitness and I think he's just lost confidence now, largely because of the way JC has used him has made him a prime target for fans to focus their frustration on.

Ah, big Tango and his novel strategies. I remember them well. Sometimes I get a little angry that he fucked off and stole half our first team, but then I remember he's a tactical mess...













...and one of those players was Richie Byrne. LOL.

Aye, and near all the other players he sticks on the pitch as well. I don't think any of them know where their positions are and where they used to play well when they were footballers. Confidence in the whole team is shot! That issue lies at the managers feet. Fucking sick of reading his crap in the paper too. Players this, players that, responsibility on the pitch blah blah blah. He's their fucking manager, that's his job to get them in the right frame of mind.

The team have shown that they can play well, about once every six games so there is ability there. No leadership, managerial understanding of the men or a consistent tactical thought! I was never in the 'I'm sick of JC camp, but I would happily let him know what I think if I saw him in town. I've had a pint or two and a bash of my drums so the latter point isn't likely to really happen. That said...

I am wondering if there is something very wrong going on behind the scenes...

[calum]

For one thing, I have to wonder about the training methods at the club. The number of injuries in training is, to me, beyond coincidence and the number of unfit looking players is ridiculous.

I would also very much like to know fit the fuck's happening with Lovell.

[Johnny Mac]

Lovell is gash, I think that's his main problem.

Our problems are far deeper rooted than whether Steve Lovell plays.

Anyway, that's me done with them for the immediate future.

Not going to the Bayern Game now either.

Useless.
