Is RW as good as we think.

[Fellowo]

He's done a marvellous job in galvanising the squad, not seen since Justin and before that Russell were in charge. The style that he has got us playing can be a joy to watch, but it's become all too predictable and now that we can no longer rely on that rock hard defence that we had, now is the time we will see how good Richie really is in adapting the team.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Basically, the next month or so will tell us.

The best managers get their teams over the line, the galvanise and motivated when times are tough or form is dipping. They make the right changes and talk to players in the right way to get the best out of them. The average or bad managers don’t.
Justin did all of the above and i think Richie will too, and become and orient legend.

[Still's Carenae]

Unbeaten in 8.

Whats the panic. We were very poor yesterday and got away with it. I think most could see the issues and that will change over the next week or so.

[Top of the JES]

Like most I think we were poor yesterday. The substitutions were poor but ultimately what cost us was going to three centre backs it invited pressure. yesterday we were not good enough in many aspects - a bad day at the office.

But is RW as good as we think, look at table and give your head a wobble he's very very good.

[banqo]

If you thought we were going to be 6 points clear at the top at the start of of the season, you're lying.

Sorry, but that's simply putting up a smoke screen for our poor form over the last few months.

Our poor form of only losing 5 games all season and being unbeaten in the last 8 do you mean?

[Chief crazy horse]

Poor performances then.

[banqo]

Well let's put it this way, I've been very disappointed that he didn't address our lack of an attacking and goal scoring threat which was quite evident from months ago.

I think we would have done in January but that Northampton game where we lost three CB's in one go changed everything .

How many times do we have to keep saying this.

[banqo]

Poor performances then.

Yes I agree, but I for one at the start of the season did not expect us to be where we are now.

A lot more it would seem....

[aylesburyos]

Shad would be my back up CB
All day ahead of Thompson .
Craig Clay not good enough
to be here next year .

Cheers Craig Cheers Tommo
But goodbye lads

Thompson still has a further 1 year contract

So , If a club came in for him offering guarenteed game time you think hed say no ?

[Max Fowler]

Or is he feeling the pressure?
He seems to be making unnecessary substitutions when the team are coping well enough!
We’re just giving points away from winning positions.
I hope the players want promotion as much as the fans.

What were the unnecessary subs made today?

[RedDwarf 1881]

I think the substitutions were probably right but they didn't do their jobs . That's something for Richie to think about before our next game .

What were the unnecessary subs made today?

Do you think had they not been made we would have conceded 1, 2, 3 goals?
You well know the point I was making!

So which change do you think was unnecessary?

I think bringing on Thompson and going 3 at the back was the right thing to do when they started loading up the front line, yes.

I think bringing Sadlier on for Moncur was the right thing to do, yes. Moncur never got into the game.

I think bringing on Clay to give us some energy in the middle of the park was the right thing to do, yes. (Although I would have taken off Pratley rather than Idris, or even gone with Clay and Pratley holding and moved Idris to the 10 role).

Col Utd created chances throughout the game, it's not like we fell apart after the changes, it's just that they finally took a couple of their chances.

Not worth trying to explain!
Did the changes stop them scoring? No.

[tuffers#1]

11 unbeaten , single figure points required for promotion , Pressure :- WHAT PRESSURE

Horrible game, two years on the trot they kicked the living daylights out of us, don't want them going up with us, want lots of heartache for them again. Wish we luck as we saya goodbye

[RedDwarf 1881]

In a nutshell , yes he is .

Well done you, you was 100% right.

[RedDwarf 1881]

I just read the thread title again and had to laugh . After winning the League 2 championship I'd say the answer is a "Yes ".

[Max B Gold]

The jury is still out for me. He needs to address the God botherers in the squad.
