    Yeah, "definitely" may actually be a stretch reading that back.

    I think he's a reasonable player at this level however. Definitely not worth what we paid for him, but if he could just add a few more goals to his game, he's worth a place in the squad in my opinion.

      Dog, commas and full stops please, I know you understand what you're saying, but it's too much hard graft for everyone else to work it out.

          We've got some decent individual players but we play a sytem that they don't fit.

          Simple.

            Do you not think this Ollie bashing is a bit harsh seen as we probably have the biggest injury list in any league anywhere?

            Do you not think this Ollie bashing is a bit harsh seen as we have the budget of a League Two team?

            Do you not think this Ollie bashing is a bit harsh seen as JFH spent £3m on Washington and now we have no money for a half decent striker? Would Ollie not have spent that money better?

            Results aren't good enough but that's what you'll get for having an injury plagued defence, a rubbish attack force and no money to buy proven quality. We are a work in progress. That has been reiterated by all those at the club many times. Any delusions that you have that we should be anywhere about mid table or winning every week have been made by yourselves.

            What else can Ollie do but work with what he's got?

                For about the 500th time now, who is he playing in their incorrect positions?

                Cousins at RWB due to injuries
                Hall at CDM where he has played very well - arguably better there than he had been at CB towards the end of last season
                Manning at LWB occasionally

                Set-up is determined by the players he has available

                  Hard to believe that this work in progress can manage to beat top teams like Wolves and Sheff. Utd one week and then ...

                    Play players in right positions, invest some time actually coaching them, given injury crisis perhaps blood a kid instead of same old square pegs in round holes. Just the basics would do not expecting miracles

                      Two or three in wrong positions where other than cousins and Yeni they don't play badly there at all

                      So you're going to go ahead and assume he spends no time coaching players?

                      What CB kids do we have?

                        Every player in opposition half last night when they broke suggests coaching or tactics not his strong point

                        We got Furlong he should have been change for mass Saturday. We have spurs kid doing well U23 blood him or put him on bench.

                        Why keep playing WB when we don’t have any but we’re tripping over wingers??? Play to your strengths like I said basics

                            This is the biggest annoyance for me.

                            We have 2 big central strikers and about 50 out and out wingers.

                            Stop this 3-5-2 nonsense and go back to proper formations that the players we have fit into that is based on a proper flat back four.

                              Like I've said a few times, I actually think it's Curtis Fleming the defensive coach who is p*ss poor. We got him from Hartlepool the game after they lost 5-0 or something like that. I think that's where our problems lie with the defence (and injuries)

                              Agree with Furlong, should have been there before Cousins got a look in. Spurs kid? is he a CB?

                              Yep if you're playing wing backs those players need to be absolutely rapid and okay at attacking and defending. Currently ours are slow as sh*t and fairly poor at both aspects (apart from Bidwell defending occasionally)

                              No clue why we bought wingers. Totally confused
