Re: Selles out

I think the thing that's most frustrating is that it was all set and ready to go. If Dai pays the players and HMRC at the end of last season, we get Wilder in charge, a couple of better signings. Different coaching staff so maybe Smith doesn't get injured. Better manager so maybe doesn't fallout wi...

Re: Selles out

Saturday was only the second league game I have missed all season and to be honest my weekend was much better because of it. I mostly disengaged myself from the game, but I did listen to BBCRB at the end. Selles, literally doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s all just meaningless words and he...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

It’s cone to the point where all you can do is laugh. If Selles isn’t sacked tonight I doubt he ever will be. Perhaps in an effort to totally destroy the club Dai’s last act as owner will be to appoint Selles manager for life.

Re: Bowen speaks

Interesting no mention of the manager whatsoever. When I read this part copied below I thought he was obliquely saying the performances are understandable. It must be very hard to any manager to motivate young players when there is a constant threat of points deductions hanging over the club. It wa...

Re: Bowen speaks

Thought it was a fair and excellent statement - the most Bowen can say under the circumstances. He also seems to be implying its not Seles's fault. To be fair we just don't know how awful its been behind the scenes. We just have to hope that Bowen et al know what they are doing and there is still ti...

Re: BFTG - Bristol Rovers

Agreed it is both the manager and players that aren't very good. Watching us last night against a team that sacked their manager for being mid-table and with the slowest striker in English football was seeing a side drifting towards relegation with no great effort to prevent it. For me, seeing Azee...

Re: Will Azeez score before Christmas?

I am beginning to think the club is just a black hole. Whether managers, decent players we bring in from elsewhere, or even our Academy products, as soon as they get to the club/first team they just suddenly become shite... There are clearly massive problems behind the scenes and it seems to be affe...

Re: BFTG - Bristol Rovers

The squad is good enough. It's the manager. Pretty sure we've been saying that about squads for most of the last few seasons. Usually turns out the squad also wasn't good enough. Agreed it is both the manager and players that aren't very good. Watching us last night against a team that sacked their...

Re: Up to date Selles poll - in or out?

Many calling for Hunt. Love him of course but let's not forget he was utter shite and not the answer last season. Bowen maybe, anyone else maybe. Hunt unlikely to be any better imo. Very harsh on Hunt. He came in with 5 games to go and we achieved creditable draws with Burnley, Luton and Wigan and ...

Personally I am looking forward to the Blue Square South season ahead. Think 4-2-2-2 will work really well at that level.

Re: Head groundsman gone

Communication has been a thorny issue for the club and so perhaps the team did need pruning.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (a)

I have never been one to keep changing managers but Selles is showing zero sign of learning. He keeps playing stupid formations and players out of position and keeps rotating the squad each week. We need a manager who chooses his best 11 and sticks with them injuries allowing. Sadly as many of us fe...

Re: Away form

In the 22 home games in the same 12 month period, the record has been 9-8-5 - 35 points - which although not brilliant is pretty solid and so as we all know the away form has been the main cause of our recent woes.

In the year between 1st October 2022 and 30th September 2023 we have played 22 away games and the record has been 1-3-18. Just 6 away points in a whole year.
