Well yes but that's by the by... lol

I thought in terms of the match-up the two teams performance on the night was fairly even

Two very poor sides
Playing ponderous football looking for one player to do something decent
Palmer did the pass
Our player in the equivalent role spent all his time moaning at the ref
Odd
 
Disappointing not to score.

Expected us to be rusty, and we were. Some talented players but we're not cohesive in attack or defense. Bergvall showing some elite ability. Want him on the ball more in a better system. Odobert not showing everything he can. A bit of a nervy performance. Similar from Tel. Both have ability. Both just 19 almost 20 - younger than Dane Scarlet.

Solanke is also a bit frustrating. Tbf to him he's used to close down and doesn't have energy for much else, but when he does get sight of the ball in the box he's a bag of nerves and is hit and miss. But he clearly has ability.

Chavs closed Maddison down (which gave more space to Bergvall). But we need a change of manager. Our players are not as good as many think, yet playing a system with a school yard press is limp and doesn't do us any favors.

Do you think Levy will weigh up putting Mason in charge so we might have a better shot at the Europa? It didn't work with Conte, and we should have held fire and let Conte see out that season (sacking Conte when we were 4th to placate fans). But now, anyone seems more promising than Ange. We weren't terrible tonight, but didn't deserve to win. And we leave so many holes and openings for teams, plus find it hard to score. It doesn't bode well under this manager. Could a temp manager create a bounce to win the Europa? Its a long shot, but what do we have to lose?

The team will be fine with the right manager

Finding the right manager is the hard thing though. Who will we go for ? Iraola? his team is a few points above us but their form is rubbish. And if we get a new manager the whole cycle of new coaches, training methods player rebuild etc etc. I cannot stand the Australian taco he must go. Cupping his ear to the fans before Sarrs goal was disallowed should be an instant sacking. The bloke makes me cringe every time he opens his mouth now. Levy should sell up and give us all a fresh hope
 
Listening to Colwill’s post-match interview reminded me of how nice it was when we had a core of club trained players in the first team who understood the significance of at the very least avoiding defeat in these London derbies so our hated rivals don’t get bragging rights.

No wonder we’ve got the joint worst record in London derbies this season.

Sonny tried
But he isn’t a winger and he no longer has the tools to be a wide forward
Keeping him on was bad but keeping Maddison on was worse
The fact he can only pass in one direction is grim
Udogie too.. where has that player gone

Udogie has lost his pomp this season. Another slight mark against this manager. He needs coaching, building up, developing. We looked better with Spence at LB and Poro RB.

With the right manager there isn't a need for a rebuild. A couple of players need replacing, but that will be the case every season.
As for manager, I've no particular preference, possibly Terzic. I'm not really sold on Iraola.

The definition is supposed to be fast, attractive, exciting football. We see none of that. Therefore it’s just a made up term.

it works the other way, the label is applied to what we see, thats the reality

Ange is the manager, he tells the players how to play, this is how we play every game, ergo...
 
Bedfordspurs said:
We played Ange ball at the start of this season
Like we did last season
But it’s dead now
What your seeing a genetic 4-3-3 with no leaders
No creativity
And a defence that can’t make any decisions for themelsves

If we're not playing it two seasons in then a lot of questions need to be asked of the manager.
