Not good enough, we’ve gone ahead and squandered leads – especially away from home – too often this season, something which has cost us big time…
Can’t believe we are in this situation. We will be lucky to finish in 8th position. It has been obvious to me and many others for some considerable time that the tactics we employ are very one dimensionable. With a lack of speed and craft in midfield and our best and most experienced central defender languishing at Southend. The players on the bench offer little or no options to change the way we play, they are too similar to those on the field. The first half of the season was acceptable but since then Mr Boothroyd has got the players playing his way–rubbish! Don’t hold out too much hope for next season! The style of play is unacceptable and I am wondering if I should renew my season ticket as the entertainment value in the 2nd half of the season has been minimal
