Moore is at the wheel man! more like the Anchor Desk (not sure if that's only a North American expression?? hopefully not) ...anyway - that with an emphasis on anchor..

Spion Kop Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 1 hour ago, stanningtonowl said: Tonight wasn’t Moore’s fault. The players were utter dogger. Out of position or not. Byers,Wing and Brown should question whether they want to be professional footballers because nothing they did tonight would show that they would make it. Spot on but Wildsmith needs adding to your list mate. It's already being said about his lead boots and not coming off the goal line for crosses but does he know how to use his hands and move his arms to stop a shot. Let's hope us fans who go to Portsmouth on Tuesday night see a performance like last Saturday and not tonights garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I get it now, Ron Burgundy! Will Ferrell is a particular hero of mine, I even enjoyed Holmes and Watson ffs. You're ass is no longer flat, but it's never a good thing to have to explain your jokes. You stay classy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley8 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sack him now to allow new guy time before January..... May not need as much in January if they get more out of what we have..... Or be able to asses what we need. Either way will have time to get to work before busy Christmas and will have time to work on January... Moore isn't getting us relegated but he's failing to do better and we are not going up with him.... Even IF we snuck in to the play offs would you have any confidence in him to win them.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Comments in this thread are symptomatic of why Moore has a thankless task here as has had some of his recent predecessors and whoever follows him. Was anyone really bothered about the Papa Johns Trophy? If memory serves me correct the majority on here wanted out of it as soon as possible? We’re now out of it and what some on here have is ‘one of those infamous OT Meltdown’s’ Yes it’s not great losing 3-0 at home to Hartlepool but let’s look at the facts Wildsmith was in a goal the back 3 was very makeshift to say the least including a good young prospect who is learning intensively due to current circumstances. A midfield that is unlikely to be ever first choice including a player who let’s face it will be recalled by Wilder at the first opportunity. And finally a front two of a player who is really struggling to recapture past glories and a player who hasn’t really been given a chance and will more than likely be off in January? As for the manager he has been lauded recently by some and understandably so as we are starting to make progress but there are still some long standing issues that won’t be solved overnight. The two away games next week are more important than last night’s game and what Moore should be judged on but whatever happens next week, his critics will be out in force. One day his critics will realise the utter sh!tshow he inherited and realise he’s doing a decent job and that if he was to leave this season, his successor is very likely to be much worse than him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorrallOwl17 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Torn between what to think of Moore at the moment. The last 3 league games have been an improvement, more attacking intent, less shoe horning players into wrong positions, but the lacklustre draws against nobody teams is way we're not battling for the top 2, jury is still massively for me on him. Last night wasn't good, but i didn't leave hillsborough disappointed so how can i slag him off for it. The performance was shocking but from the starting line up there's only 3 or 4 who would start in the league, it was genuinely like they'd been told to throw it, it was that bad. I'll reserve judgment until after the Portsmouth and Crewe game, but i'm very torn. Still think a lot of papering over the cracks was done in the last 3 league games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperwinngardensowl Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Saying Moore isn’t to blame because the players weren’t interested completely ignores the fact that a primary function of a manager in any position, but particularly football, is to motivate his team.

So you're willing to make excuses and give the benefit of the doubt to anyone but the one you absolutely hated with a passion?

Seems fair I’ll quite happily give the benefit of any doubt to Moore. I didn’t hate Monk, I just thought he was a sh!t manager. If he had performed averagely in the second half of his first season in charge, the points deduction wouldn’t have been as damaging as it’s proved to be but you’ll blame the wage issues and not that he got it massively wrong on the playing side.

Similarly you'll put ALL the blame on Monk and not acknowledge the horrific stuff going on behind the scenes that caused the slump That's like blaming a driver for crashing when someone's cut his brake cables and let his tyres down Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
