Allen wouldn't answer any questions about this yesterday which imo tells its own story - the FL should be consistent in their treatment of financial irregularity and that would mean a significiant points penalty.
Thats because they play 3 at the kiosk, 4 in the back room and 3 in the post room. It leaves the post room too exposed meaning they are making mistake after mistake.
Which is exactly what happened at Everton - often our full backs were two against one - naive, ridiculous and the same mistakes have been repeated almost every game. Nigel has said we won't change the way we play away from home. On that basis we will concede at least 3 every away game.
Reserves or not, the tactics and substitutions have been an utter shambles all season. Sorry Nige, thanks for two wonderful seasons but it is clear that this level is beyond you, time for a change to give us at least a chance of staying up.
The "update" button was good as long as there was only one page of latest scores - the feeling hope when the page number appeared in the top corner and sheer angst and depression when you pressed the text button to see that David Leworthy had put Oxford 2-0 up against us.
Arguably the rot has already set in with this squad though but I do tend to agree with the overall point that you make. I am not sure even 'Arry would have the brassneck to come back again though.
Don't blame him, second time this season he's been taken off which has contributed to us going on to not win the game. NA's substitutions have been bizarre this season.
Seems odd that these stories only surface when we are doing badly. If Cortese has been picking the team and formations for the past 2 years he hasn't done too badly
Personally I think its b*******. At the very least NC doesn't make the substitutions which have cost us at least 5 points this season.
Disagree. Biazarre team selections, naive tactics and very very poor subsitutions have cost us. The buck stops with the manager on these issues. Added to this poor/lack of defensive signings for which he is only partially responsible and what we have is a shambles. It can be sorted out by somebody tactically astute, at least to get us through to January when badly needed reinforcements can be brought in.
