The team hasn't performed! You have just lost at home to the team above you. You went down with a whimper as opposed to a fight. Your tactics were a joke (1 up front first half, 3 defenders and 1 keeper on the bench) You have a striker on the bench yet put a centre half on as centre forward. So is there any debrief????????????? Any enquiry??????? Any sort of questions asked???? The answer is NO. Within 40 minutes of tonight's final whistle Mr Tommy Smith is laughing and joking with family and friends in the Clarendon Arms. An absolute joke and I will be making my feelings known.
As Boothroyd said at the fans forum, that debrief etc takes place at the next day's training session. I imagine the side were given a team talk for about 5 minutes then a player could have left by about 10.20. Bearing in mind the game didn't finish till almost 10pm it wouldn't suprise me if the post-match talks and dressing room stuff was short and to the point with as i said more detail being seen to at training tommorow. For all you know Smith may have been given special permission to leave early, may well have been a family doo. Was it you that saw him Jon ??
I’m sure Aidy will learn from his mistake(s) I was very surprised when he brought Shittu on for Macca, we were lacking creativity as it was. What will that have done for Priskins confidence? I wouldn’t normally criticise Aidy after everything he has done, and I know he is the manager to keep us up, but he did make some bizarre choices. He could have played Smith upfront and had Chambers on the right, Macca on the left at the start. I’d have played Priskin and Hendo upfront, with Mahon and Spring or Francis in midfield and kept it 4-4-2. Playing 4-5-1 when we don’t play through the midfield was a mistake, and as I said we lacked creativity without Young, Bouazza (and we are seriously missing King and the way he’d chase every cause).
Jobr... Did you ask him why he took a shot with that late free kick instead of whipping in a good cross for our 3 BIG BLOKES to nod in?
40 minutes after a game! did he still have his kit on then! i would have thought it would take a fair few minutes to change and get there but what about the warm down? do we not do that any more? you could certainly not do a proper job of it if he did have one
trudging miserably out of the ground and hearing that announcement made the whole experience slightly surreal.
