Weren't you saying all through the window Cook and Maynard should/would leave?

After Saturday I thought he’d do more, but instead we roll out an almost identical 11 (except Law for Quinn) and press repeat on the performance button.
I struggle to understand Stone in goal, I don’t get McLaughan instead of Benning, Charsley appears devoid of energy and confidence, and the Read/Bowery combo is going nowhere.
We were awful tonight.
I think he is stubborn, I thought he was stubborn in the transfer window and is stubborn with his selections.

Stech in for Stone
Gordon back in at right back
Perch in at CB’s for either of those pair at the back, take your pick cos both deserve a game out after that debacle.
Benning back in at LB (forced anyway)
Not much we can do in midfield due to lack of bodies, but if Quinn is fit then bring him back in for Law
Sinclair on the left
Reid up top (to be replaced by Bowery later or other way round)
Sarkic on the right for Charsley.
Really frustrated that we are so light of options for out and out strikers.

You make it sound like Cook wanted to be here, he didn't. Neither did Maynard. Both contracts were up in the summer and they wanted to go get first team football. It would've been a dick move to have kept one or both of them here when they didn't want to be here because they weren't playing.
Clough also thought he'd probably get Akins on the last day of the window too, but because of other clubs not getting their players it meant we didn't get ours.

Hate saying that but I am afraid he’s not up to it
I think Nigel will have to treat the squad like he did when he first took over. The enforced break hasn't helped or the shipping of goals in the previous two games. Any insight Broomo how Nigel will sort it ?broomo wrote:I'm not one who likes to criticise but that was woeful, from front to back and including Stone who's kicking was just abysmal.
I don't think Perch found a Mansfield player from a single one of his 150 throw ins and the 2 central defenders who looked unflappable have suddenly turned into schoolboys. Sweeney is back to giving away stupid fouls every 2 minutes.
Law didn't take his chance.
Struggling to find anything even semi positive to say about that.
Harrogate are a horrible side to play against but we were just terrible all over the park.

lifestags wrote:If you know you are letting 2 out and out strikers go then you have one lined up as a replacement? No? Yeah Akins fell through but a striker should of been his back up. I still feel like we need to look at free transfers. Can’t have performances like that from our strikers/attacking players, especially if he is only going to bring Sinclair on for five minutes.

Cheers for that. I agree he needs to remind them what they were doing right and what they are not doing now. For me (as others have said ) Lapslie seems key to getting this team ticking over. I think we will survive, however tonight's performance is a worry and is causing me a glimmer of doubt.broomo wrote:Amber Andy wrote:I think Nigel will have to treat the squad like he did when he first took over.

Not really, other than one or two players will be getting some hone truths told to them.
He certainly won't hold back, whatever he says tonight on the radio there is no way he'll accept that level of performance.
Of course due to a couple of circumstances out of his control he's left the squad a bit light. I'm not sure what he does at centre half as those 2 have seemingly forgotten how to defend and Perch doesn't look great.
I'm struggling to see his options as he needs the squad on side to dig out some results still but I suspect he'll be rapidly drawing up plans for the summer.
It's a fine balance between hammering them and destroying the relationships.
I suspect he'll try to remind them of what they were doing so well that they've now stopped doing.

A point a game takes us to 51....
Yes, there’s stuff to be ironed out, relegation isn’t one of those things....
