The problem wasn’t at that end of the pitch but don’t miss a chance to have a go.
Yes it was Aikins was absolutely awful tonight and was bullied throughout by Meynasse
Whereas he wasn’t great , he had no support.
That’s cloughs fault. 1 uptop to bottom of the league is laughable
Yeah. Agree. See it coming. The personnel and formation went right for the fixture. Should have been out of sight.. We were also very complacent. Whatever reason you attribute to the draw, it ends with clough. Pathetic result unfortunately. Especially the manner of it.[/quote]
Ends with Clough? Are you for real? A manager can not be blamed because players can't do their job It was the missed chances and shocking defending that cost us the win. Was you moaning about Clough when we were 2.0 up and were dominating the game? We should of been 3.0 up at h.t. Missed more chances in the second half.. No doubt Clough fault and school boy errors at the back.
Like everyone, Im disappointed with the result but at least some have the sense to realise who the players were who cost us all three points and not blame the manager for something that was totally out of his hands..[/quote]
The manager never absolves himself from responsibility. Because a manager never playes, by your reckoning you could argue no manager ever deserve the sack, because its the players who play, not the manager.
The team selection was wrong. We missed hatfull of chances because we had the wrong players In the wrong place/formation. In defence we had a bad mentality. The manager failed to see it and and failed to respond directly to the changes Hartlepool made which made them marginally better, which we didn't handle.
We had a lot of the ball and weren't dangerous with it.
The manager needs to address this. I squarely blame him for last nights embarrassing capitulation, even if you don't.
I like clough, but I'm not a Clough fan boy and he deserves stick when his team fluff it up so drastically. Games like last night cost you over a season when you're aiming for top 3.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.
