I'm talking about things like this:
People really do make me laugh. We need to support the club. Last nights match just showed how short we are from challenging for play offs. Clear out needed to bring in fresh faces and that is impossible until the summer with contracted players.
A month ago we were short of form, a team capable of the playoffs but ultimately going to fall short. Last night we were just short, way, way short of anything close to a poor team that were there for the taking. Organised but that was all. Simple things we were getting right are going so very wrong now.
At the moment on 1 thing has changed in the past month.
Prove me wrong
Where LCB is usually quite balanced in his view I find this bizarre. JL's last game we had 0 shots at Gloucester and where outplayed by a team much worse than Harrogate. Yet under JL we where "out of form" but under Drury LCB goes on to speak of us getting relegated.
That's just one example.
I know long ball isn't as easy on the eye but I don't think results and performances as a whole have been any different under either manager...
Just calling it as I see it.
If long ball is how we're going, we're in for a rough ride while the likes of Fairclough, SWD, Newsham and Milnes are moved on. Non of those players are capable of wearing down an opposition with the big Howitzer into the box. And long ball is usually built on a solid, consistent back four that do nothing else until a set play, we're well short in that department too. It's also not that I dislike the Long Ball, there's a time and a place and I admire Stoke as much as Barcelona on their game.
Under Jason we always looked 1 or 2 pieces of the jigsaw away from mounting an assault and were very often easy on the eye even in appalling defeats.
Tuesday night was a very rude awakening that we now appear 5/6/7 pieces of jigsaw away from mounting an assault the way the arms were being waved on the sidelines. The players worked their socks off on Tuesday, and we still looked clueless. First time I can ever remember, feeling like going home at halftime. I've watched LDV vans (or what ever it was) games, Reserve games and Tommy Taylors shower home and away for over 15 years now and I don't recall ever feeling like not watching the second half or righting a season off.
Might be a over reaction, but that's how it felt as I contemplated going home. Bit of a hipocrite really as I've often advocated mid table being ok and not a reason to stop going and enjoying football.
