Manager resigns...

[michael]

I never buy into this lack of passion/motivation stuff.

 

I am convinced the players go out every game totally committed to win/draw-or whatever the instructions are.

 

The more i consider things, the more it seems to come down to that bit of luck either way-and above all-who gets the first goal.

 

How many games are won by the side who look outplayed for the first 20 mins-get a breakaway goal -and then look world beaters.

When you are one of many teams -much of a muchness in midtable-its often just who gets the breaks at the right times-is that why we so often comment-anyone can beat anyone.

 

Admittedly-the top3/4 teams and the bottom 3/4 teams are normally beaten /win on merit-but in the middle-its so often who gets the breaks.

 

Had we scored first v Cray-or indeed harrow-the result could have been very different-and in both games it seems we were certainly on a par in those early stages of the game.

 

Thus-is the challenge for TY to get us to up the tempo in the first quarter to make a better attempt at securing the first goal ?

can somebody tell me what mr southall does at the club please

[BlueGate Alan]

Ask him Phil

[phil d]

i do try and talk to him alan after the game but he looks at me and walks off, but then again so do most people

[BlueGate Alan]

Sorry Phil did you say something?

[BlueGate Alan]

Seriously Phil, as far as I know he takes the coaching side of it, fitness etc. He also does hell of a lot behind the scenes too like the Margate Learning Zone.

That's a bit unfair on Big Nev. After all, what club in the league is better placed than us to have someone between the sticks that knows which way the pitch is :-)

[BlueGate Alan]

Anyways talk about going off tangent, the thread was about Carshalton manager resigning...........I blame Cookie for setting people off

[BlueGate Alan]

I am 100% behind Big Nev, ITH.

[freefred]

I wholeheartedly agree and sorry for taking everyone off thread

[Iris's Tea Hut]

So am I, both him and TY (Couldn't understand the calls on Monday for their heads).

 

Just feeling a little mischevious, BGA. And I'm not Welsh either, which qualifies my support for them moreso. Winking smiley.

[BlueGate Alan]

Not your fault Fred, its Cookie's

[freefred]

that said going back to where I went off thread does anyone know what formation we are lining up with at the moment?

[michael]

I don't recall any post on moday along those lines ITH.

 

There were some posts questionning tactics/formations etc.and sharing in the same disappointment that TY himself expressed in his post match interview but thats a long long way from the type of you suggest was posted ITH

 

(thank goodness )

The players are clearly struggling with 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2, or wingback system, whatever you call it).

 

We should go back to 4-4-2 as soon as possible. Even then it will take a few games to settle down, but at least everybody on the pitch will know what they are supposed to be doing.

 

No need for the manager to resign!

[freefred]

I dont think the question was raised of the manager resigning Chris1, cookies post referred to the Carlshalton manager. If the manager wants to play a wingback formation, what I was suggetsing was either pushing someone up or pulling someone back to link defence and midfield. Who at the club could play that position?

[michael]

Worked alright last season though with ostensibly the same players .

 

Everything will be fine-we're over the worst of injuries and suspensions (and now have both more quantity and more quality to cover future injuries/suspensions.)

Give it a couple of more games to settle and all will be good.

 

When you think about it-its amazing how disruptive Lacys suspension has been-thats created the imbalance and we had morris/corbishly and robinson out at the same time who play similar roles.

A simple thing like that has been a major contributor to this disruption-hopefully big lessons learnt-we can't afford suspensions-particularly when they are for stupidness like lacy's undoubtedly was.

 

verdict-all Lacy's fault-lol

[freefred]

oooooohhhhhhh thats very harsh. Would be much easier to blame Cookie, if in doubt blame the thread starter.

Yes I know Fred, but I noticed my comment had nothing to do with the thread title, so I was trying to link it in. Obviously I have been sussed.

[BlueGate Alan]

Well and truly Chris

 

At least its made for an entertaining discussion today!
