People have short memories. Wilder got VERY touchy a few times when we were struggling; Id expect any manager to to be fair. By the sounds of things, it got a bit personal over in the dugout area, his interview was shortly afterwards with emotions running high etc… Back to the game. I thought we we ok in the first half. The 45-70 minute stage of the game basically saw it just 'drift by' with neither side seemingly wanting to win (or lose) the match. Then for the last 20 minutes, Oxford gained in confidence and there was only going to be one winner if a goal was scored…and it wasn't us. The subs. I thought the first sub was the only one he could really make on the basis that he/we were looking for a goal whilst not wanting to lose the vital point we had at that stage. If he'd swapped Hoskins for Pierra, we'd have lost. Our midfield was being over run, only Crooks and Hoskins were getting stuck in. If we'd taken Hoskins off the pitch (who admittedly was no threat whatsoever in the 2nd half) Oxford would have more than likely have won the match. I had no issue with a like for like sub, I accept Im in the small minority with that though. But we all see the game differently. He explained the 2nd sub in his interview, made sense. It didn't at the time though! For me, our issues are with two players. Bunney and Grimes. Oxford targeted Bunney, 3rd consecutive away team to do that. With a bit more quality they'd have got 2 more points from that 'tactic'. As for Grimes…we all know he's marmite. But he'd be the 2nd player I'd drop (after Bunney) - McWilliams would come in to play alongside the ever improving Crooks. I don't rate him. His set pieces are average factoring in that many of them are high risk ones and I fail to see what else he brings to the party. Although at times I did feel that we are lucky to have him when their number 21 (Silva) lined up to take a corner!  50/50 on whether we stay up now in my opinion. We've got good players but not a good team. Not a consistently good one, thats for sure! |

When accompanied by the look on his face
Turning round, clapping his hands and nodding his head whilst focussing on a specific area of the West Stand.......what else could it have been other than sarcastic? Did he applaud the North Stand? No! Did he applaud the East? No, Did he applaud anyone but that little centre section of the West? No! Does he usually do any of this? No! That's why people thought it was "sarcastic"....as it was anything but his normal behaviour! He does stand there and "greet" every player off the pitch though.......but I have noticed that he usually blanks players he's substituting off. I get blanking players who have been sent off.....but those he's taking off too?? |

Didn't blank Hoskins. Even went out of his way to run back to give him a hug. |

And another thing ....
Throw ins ! Especially on the right hand side .
For the love of God ........ they are awful .
Do them early and create movement . Moloney delays far too long and the others just stand around except JJOT.
Sort it out !

What made this worse was in his pre-match interview he talked about taking quick free kicks and throw in's to gain the initiative and get the home crowd on side. He must have just said that to Caroline unless the players didn't listen |

Good BM. We're all very frustrated AND worried at the moment BUT it's not JFH fault our lads missed some good chances 1st half. Like you say, we need to move on stick together and get behind the lads. I'm sure none of us want to go back to Lge 2 football.
Could do with a few more with your attitude. |

The bottom line is that a vocal section of supporters - rightly or wrongly - feel a sense of entitlement that the club should be competing at the sharp end of the table.
If JFH wasn’t warned of that when he came in, well he certainly knows it now.

.......
Selectively quoting..... (apologies Deepcut) yes, the problem that Managers face is that they are Project Managers. The job of Project Managers is to bring about a change. That change is set by their Chairman (ie, the Chairman's Targets for the Club) and it has to fit 3 criterion.... Quality, Time and Budget. So, for most of us, Time (if we are in the know) & Budget is easy..... But, what is "Quality"? For most Chairman, that relates back to Budget - ie, if you provide entertainment & results, more people turn up, thus more money in the coffers. But, for other Chairman, the big fish is getting to the next level..... so, quality of football is sacrificed. We can only judge where we are by the Chairman's standards...... Love and kisses to all The triumvirate of the three is like a fight in a bag of potatoes..... |
