Those big spending Tractor boys


Recommended Posts

I was concerned about the Munoz appointment as soon as I heard he’d got the job. I don’t rate him at all and even what he did at Watford wasn’t down to his signings and players - but you don’t just whinge and moan about it, you back him and give him time.

But he’s looking massively out of his depth to me and appears to be worse than I’d feared. He’s totally underestimated the quality of the Championship because the players he’s signed are not of the quality they need to be (Vasquez excepted). If they were of the quality we need and the last 5 games were simply them getting up to speed and used to playing alongside each other, then we’d be seeing improvements by now. We aren’t.

As for our style of play? What style of play, formation, tactics etc? I don’t think he even knows his best XI yet, apart from that it clearly doesn’t include MJ.

Problem is he’s spent what dosh we had and we’re stuck with the players we have. Even a new manager coming in is going to struggle now. Munoz has been a panic appointment and for that the blame rests entirely with DC (and whoever is advising him).

I said it when we got promoted and I’ll say it again now - give me fourth bottom and I’ll be happy (even more so now than when we achieved promotion).

We have got to get something out of Tuesday’s game.

I think he is working on falling out with another 12 players and then he will only have 11 to pick from 

I was pondering that Carlos was an average manager but got dealt a good hand, in terms of the players acquired and relative (lack of ) strength of the Championship

Xisco has been dealt a poor hand players wise, minimal prep time and a stronger division 

But the abject failure comes from the very top by the total inability of Chansiri to plan

For my sins I’m also a Wakefield Trinity supporter. After 24 years we were relegated from rugby league’s Super League last night. Trinity are about as successful on the trophy front as SWFC are.

So God knows what I must have done in my previous life. 😂

 

Likewise. There’s not much to enjoy at the moment.

Yesterday was very poor and somewhat concerning. 
 

Bannan was a miss but I did not expect that line up at all. I mistakenly thought the last two performances were away performances and we’d set up more attacking. Lose Paterson, Smith and  Palmer and see Valentin,  Musaba and Buckley. Put Gregory up top. And with that, hope to see this aggressive high pressing football we’ve been promised. 
 

We saw nothing of it, aside from a 3 minute spell in the first 15 minutes and a few better moments in the second. 
 

For the rest, we had no shape, no system, no passion. It was a truly awful performance. 
 

Vasquez stood out above anyone, Delgado did ok and Buckley looked like the kind of player we need. We looked so devoid of creativity before he came on. 
 

In summary; we stank.

Unless you mean he's out due to gender reassignment surgery, can you honestly say that on this season's performances he would have done anything better than what we had?

He certainly couldn't have been any worse.  And he'd have kept trying.

It’s so disappointing and at least in part feels self inflicted and a result of one man’s “football knowledge”.

On the new players. I like the lack look of Devis and I think in part some of his disappointing kicks/ passes are a result of what the Coach is asking him and the team to do.

I like the look of Bernard, I thought he did well when he came on for Iorfa. Never easy to come on like that. I’d say he’s probably an upgrade on what we’ve had and he’s our player.

The jury’s out on the deadline day signings, but Buckley looked tidy.

Momo looked decent but of course 67mins or whatever it was, is hardly a confirmation of a good signing.

As for XM getting his marching orders after Tuesday, I honestly can’t see DC doing it. Unless we get trounced and even then I suspect DC is in agreement that it will take time. It’s whether he becomes sufficiently embarrassed.

Thing is, what next. DC has hardly moved quickly to replace “his managers’.

On what measure are you saying Delgado did alright?

Foul throws?

Giving the ball away?

Hospital passes to teammates?

wayward crosses?

Flatters to deceive and seems to be the the coaches favourite.

Agree with all that from Saturday: would just say that he's not a left back or a LWB either.
