As poor a performance as we've seen all season yesterday. Think virtually the entire team had an off day, can't remember their keeper making a save in anger. Not sure what the thinking was but Canners in midfield was a very poor decision, in fact I personally think Canners should stick to the management side of things.
It was obvious which team had something to play for and which team didn't, most of our players looked like they where already thinking about their summer hols. Except they did have something to play for, making sure the 1000+ fans (good turnout for a nothing game) come back again next week. I think the home fans have been shortchanged this season with most of our better performances coming on the road.
As far as the subject of the managers is concerned, the jury's out for me. The positives are the fact that generally the performances and style of football have got better as the season has gone on, the managers now have over a seasons worth of experience and they have hit on the 4-3-3 formation which has proved successful and they also have the personnel to play that style. They'd also give us continuity which I believe is important.
Negatives are the poor signings at the start of the season specifically the front line, JL going from a backup to the target man and the long ball football that came with it which wasn't successful or good to watch. Also the poor home form, If the home form had been anything like it should we'd have been in the play-offs now.
I'm pleased I don't have to make the decision as it's a close call, but personally I think they should have another chance. I think they have potentially a very good side if they can get sign up 10 or 11 of the current squad and get the right players to supplement them.
