Absolute garbage, we are stuck here for years to come.
Seemed to be empty seats in the Villa end, but I couldn't get a ticket.Thousands of empty seats in the Wigan end where I was .An unbelievably poor performance.
And yet, we're not broken in the league.
Fans need to start voting with their feet, especially the away hardcore
Front rows looked like they were not sold, you also get groups who watch maybe 15 minutes of the match then spend the rest of game in the concourse which I find odd. Especially when you’ve travelled 100 odd miles and spent a hundred or whatever on the day out.
On paper the line up is good but there’s a lot of gelling required and things will need to just click. The problem is they haven’t really clicked for a month or so even with the odd win.
The problem we have at the moment is:
1) A new keeper working with the defence
2) A defence who haven’t played together (or at least recently)
3) A central midfield who haven’t yet gelled and can’t compliment each other
4) wingers who drift in and out of the game
5) a striker who tries to press from the front but a collection of individuals behind him.
I’m less confident about today having thought about the above points than I have been all week expecting a result.
I think realistically we’ll get a draw today, hope I’m wrong.
Sirden, you are right but this is why Smith is frustrating me.
I am pretty sure Jokanovic didn't have players to fit how he wanted to play, so he went into their U17 side and picked out a young kid who he thought may make it, and he is now worth 80m quid.
Redmund, Demari Gray - 3 miles away young kids given a chance because players older than them weren't performing.
Instead of saying "You are not performing so I am giving a youngster a chance to stake the claim" we are playing the under performing player week after week.
Its so bloody frustrating.
Listen, I am not saying we have the next Jayden Sancho in the U17's but I am damn bloody sure if the likes of Enda Stevens and Jonothan Hogg can make it at this level, the likes of Green, Davis , OHare and JDH should have a shot at it whilst others are failing.
I can't believe it my son went for a pee second half and said there were loads of people in the concourse talking and hanging about . WTF is that about ??
They blank off the first few rows for whatever reason , allegedly safety reasons I thinkApparently that end holds 5000 but they would only let us have about 4,500 tickets for whatever reason.
It's that none have been given any time that I find the most disappointing so far tbh.
(and that's not throw them all in at once)
altho we'll train on players for utd,chelsea and now wolves.
We all know pretty much what our senior players deliver - which is not enough.
If all our youth players are not worth any playing time at all then we may as well get rid of them all and close down Bodymoor.
Suppose we can keep trying to polish that turd by shuffling Barney,Whelan & Houri around endlessly
