Jagermesiter1871Maneki Neko Thought the booing was directed at the ref.tbf
Anyway...
Ugh.
Same old same old.
Played well. Should have won, we were the better team, made them look very average. But we wilt at the first sign of adversity.
Understandable really. When they see another mistake followed by another goal, their heads just go.
Thought Rakels looked good and should play next game.
Hector immense again.
Quinn worked hard but gave the ball away too often
Norwood a bit anonymous.
Cox worked hard and linked up well at times
Ola John a disgrace. Thats 3/4 identical sub appearances in a row. Really poor.
Formation/tactics decent.
We move on. I just wish we could move on a bit quicker and finish this terrible season asap
I thought Ola John was the second coming just a couple weeks back on here?

holsgrove breaks a leg Thankfully my last game of one of the most frustrating seasons in years. I guess it just reinforces that despite whether you think a team look good on paper its worthless if they cannot gel or become mentally shot.
Whilst I think the summer has really got be right this time In terms of transfer targets and a unified transfer policy( and this comes about with a 2nd worryingly large cull in two years!) and Brian being afforded time at the start of the season, I am concerned about how niavely he sets up the team to defend. One thing I would say about Clarke was that by and large he got us looking solid at the back and we conceded less. Under Brian we are struggling at the back especially on the counter and I cant think of many clean sheets under him. It was this situation which caused his demise last time so he has got to learn.
Its funny how football works and who knows what the summer may bring u under the thais but I do get a pang of inevitability re our slow demise, a bit like when Jim and mick took charge after the playoffs and then bullivant relegated us!
We must become stronger in the transfer market at league 1 and 2 level and compliment that with some experience from the prem if we can wheel and deal a bit. Its clear the loanees are gone and likely hrk cox and perhaps mcleary, Williams, but I would sell norwood who just doesn't fit our style. A cross between caskey/Guthrie really.

wiggso The better team lost yesterday, I know it isn't much consolidation but when results unfortunately no longer matter it is more about the performance. That being said, and this is what frustrates me, we are putting in (very slightly) better performances with players that wont be here next season.
We are completely toothless in the last 3rd. we played some nice football but how many times was their GK tested? he wasn't, just the goal from a centre back. The people paid to attack are not doing it. Vydra is coming in for a lot of stick and rightly so, the continuous 1st time flicks to give it away and no end product for 2.5 million and 25k per week. However what is more worrying is what we will have next season. Kermorgant had a better game last night, but still didn't really threaten. He has offered nothing before last night.
I like the look of Rakels. He has a lot of energy and could be a decent player for us, I hope he can keep improving and stay on his feet a bit more.
A season ticket holder friend from Gillingham said that we can take Samuels back...
Cox's energy is better but I think he lacks composure in the box (exception was the goal at Middlesbrough)
Current top scorer at the club is Williams...Our strikers have scored 8 goals all season.
I will keep supporting McDermott and hope the summer is fruitful because I am seriously worried. If it isn't then next season will be absolutely dreadful.

Didn't Caskey play a pivotal role in one of our strong seasons?

Interesting comment on Samuel, as far as I'm aware Gillingham fans were delighted with Samuel's contribution in his loan spell, just had a look at their forum, I think the most negative thing said that recently his shooting hadn't been as sharp but they pretty unanimously see him as a key part of their team.
He hasn't played the last few games due to a knee injury.

It could be just one opinion of one negative, miserable git...they are everywhere.

Thou Voice Welllll!
From the eye in the skies watching all that is football with a great understanding, again it shows that I was right...
Steve Clarke > The Ex-Arsenal Scout
...our present coach has helped us strive to far lower down the table then we could ever have dreamed!
We MUST BE THANKFUL for the lowest finish in many years under our so called saviour.
Time to let him go back to Arsenal...
Do You See?
