Juice attitude and motivation?

[Lord Kitchener]

The players are (I believe) good enough to be winners at this level. But they are lacking in the basic things that would be natural if they were coached correctly.

Yeah Dawsies a nice enough guy, and qualified to do the job. I’m just worried that he is concentrating too much on systems, tactics etc. Mentality is taking a back seat.

We need an experienced professional manager to bring a new winning mentality. No amount of groovy tactics will get us out of the shit in a league that is packed with big aggressive players that will run us ragged.

LK, there is no money for a different ‘manager’ or new players.
It is, what it is.
Investment & expenditure rules.
A bog standard Mini Metro ain’t ever going to out perform a Sierra Cosworth.
You need a big budget to get out of this league – in a positive direction.
You can’t inject talent, skill, knowledge, physicality, athletism, game understanding etc in to players.
They are where they are in their careers for a reason. No disrespect to any of them but they simply ain’t good enough. They are at the level that they are at because they are deficient in a number of qualities / skills required to be a top quality league player.
Motivation – difficult, the song is very apt… “you’re s4it and you know you are”.
Attitude – hard to maintain an upbeat, go get em, never say die attitude when you are getting spanked every week.
I doubt if Pep or Jurgen could galvanise this mob in to a winning team.
Daws is the patsy.

Sendings off and soft penalties don’t help matters!

[cassidystash]

just seen the lowlights, penalty looked a very poor decision and surely Nuttall was entitled to go for that ball.
Am I biased or was the ref. a bit of a homer? I reckon both decisions would have been different had they occured at the other end.

There is no money to replace the Manager and you can bet several players will be gone in January.
What we have is what we are stuck with it won’t improve , more than likely to get worse.
The Club is just drifting along until Mr Swann pulls the plug !
Could be lucky to see the Season out !

Man down!
Daws jumps ship back to his beloved Academy.
Vice-Admiral the Viscount Nelson lost an arm and was left with partial sight in one of his eyes after a couple of different battles.
Able Seaman Michael Nelson will take over the tiller equally disadvantaged.
Horatio’s ship was the Victory.
Michael’s will be the Administrator.

Hopefully un able seaman nelson even with his disability’s will recognise an experienced goalkeeper and a left full back who can defend need to be addressed before next sailing,we gift a goal most matches failing to block the cross from the right hand side most sides have cottoned on to our weakness

Davey Jones treasure chest is empty.
The pirate tax means we are all out of doubloons.
Would you take the Kings Shilling to be a member of this crew?

[SD0101]

The press gang may have to come calling, though the re introduction of the tot of rum may sway the issue and get the black pig sailing again,with seaman nelson at the helm I’m fearing choppy waters. Oh what’s that big white thing ahead

[Awaywego]

Let’s hope he’s got “The Nelson touch”

[SD0101]

Horatios yes. Michaels no

A pointless December and he’ll be as depressed as Daws.
Elementary my dear (Robert) Watson to follow after Nelson?
3 managers before Christmas!
We need 3 wise men from the east with sacks full of gold, Frankincense to add a more pleasant aroma and Myrrh to embalm the club as a last resort.

[Iron-awe]

Myrrh is the favourite with the bookies from the West.

[lesgeo]

Myrrh is brilliant for toothache but can do nothing for the incessant heartache of being an Iron supporter.

[cassidystash]

Can’t find any in Tesco, which aisle is it on?

[lesgeo]

Health food shops often – or buy online.

[cassidystash]

I was kidding les, I don’t have any teeth.
