Think need to get him out, maybe on loan. Get fans off his back and maybe a clean slate to boost his confidence , dykes in fairness he got big round of applause when he went off no boos at all That mystified me. And that dumb song some sing with the indecipherable words. |

Still no answer just another lol ? You need a life. But for what it’s worth; Hendricks was a baller, career speaks for itself. Didn’t work out for us. It happens. Shania’s comment demanding Ramsey is sacked? Does that even deserve more than a lol? Anyway, en route to boozer - enjoy your evening celebrating the point. Think it was me Matty and haven't changed my mind. |

Johansen loses his man at free kick for their goal, poor clearance from Field.Kinda hard to lay all blame on Paal. you did see his attempted clearance which lead to freekick. Do the first job then no need worry about the second Yes I agreed with that but after free kick is given ball is dead, players re-set for next phase of play. |

[quote author=" Stanley75" source="/post/115193/thread" timestamp="1661010383"] That last move encapsulated our need for a striker [/quote] Been saying that but apparently we are too skint. So we just watch and accept the shyte we have at our disposal up front. |

Thought we were comfortably better side and deserved the points. Created plenty of opportunities but unfortunately they mostly fell to the wrong man.
Cant catch a break when it comes to letting goals in from ball bouncing around in box, is that the third this season? How hard is it to just launch in that situation.
Still not swayed by Paal but think Laird will be an asset. Willock and Roberts head and shoulders above the rest and Dickie looking like his old self.
Beale on the side looks like the new boy at school worried about upsetting people. So many bad decisions today from Ref and he just sits there taking it. Few people mentioning leadership on pitch so let’s have some off the pitch on the sidelines as when we don’t get that pen he should be flying into 4th official putting pressure on him and officials for next decision but nothing. When we’ve had Warnock, Warburton and Holloway on sides instructing and ranting and compare to Beale he’s like a mute.
And the ref was shocking today. Why the hell did he blow up for absolutely nothing second half when ball never went out nor was there offside or foul really bizarre.

Excuse me I have mentioned how quiet the sideline is.
As I've also said think Beale been told a different story to what is reality by the board,not surprised really.
Or they spunked a lot of dosh on his wages.

Also not liking this everyone back defending corners.
Roberts is lightening quick leave him up on the half way line and it takes two of their people out the box.
They had everyone in our half for corners as we had everyone back

Saw elsewhere where somebody sitting near dug out at Blackpool game, MB was explaining tactics to Chair during break in play and Chair turned away and threw his hands in air whilst walking away. Probably down to frustration from both sides but very easy for MB to lose players at such early time with us. |

Just had a listen and trying to stay upbeat but he must know there is no way on earth he can do anything with our forward line. Seems a decent bloke but could he be Paul Clement Mk2? Invaluable number 2 but not as good a manager? He needs to get into LF and demand a centre forward as that is all can save his job.

I think Mick needs to impose himself on everyone, the players, the board, the THFC axis (Les and Chris). He needs to out the bad cop side otherwise this wont work.
Those people who warned that this was going to be difficult were right. Massive learning curve for him. He's doing OK, but he needs to get control.

Today's performance was better, overall, than against Middlesbrough. Even when playing with nine men. I'm far more confident having seen patches of what we could do. Could've won 4-1. Richards playing, the Chelsea CB, and a striker, everyone fit, and the passengers fucked out, and we could surprise ourselves.

No one should be happy with a point at home to Rotherham. 1 point from 6 at home against Blackpool and Rotherham is woeful. But, let’s not get carried away. In this league, anyone can beat anyone. It’s not like you don’t beat certain teams and season is over like in the prem. Today was much better than midweek. We are creating chances. We should start putting these chances away. Now it must be clear to every decision maker at the club that they need to get a striker in. We can’t have a player missing these chances. The better players are getting fitter. I think we can get a striker in and get others fit, we can have a good season.

Totally agree but was shot down on here for daring to suggest getting a forwatd in and it was said to me we did not have any money. |

Two winnable home games in a week and we’d have been above Watford. Take chances and look what would happen. Need someone up top or we’ll get nowhere.

he must know there is no way on earth he can do anything with our forward line. If that were true then why does he keep playing Dykes? He could be playing Roberts or Armstrong up there, or even Bonne. What Armstrong really needs is a run of games, not these little 15 minute spells to try and impose himself so ends up trying too hard. If anything doing that puts even more pressure on the kid. |

I can only assume he backs himself to make Dykes come good. |

And yes we are in the brown stuff re strikers but that's not to say he doesn't have options other than starting Dykes every game. |

The striker issue goes back to Jan 2016 when Austin went to Southampton. The board need to help this guy as everyone of them have been here since that time. Sorry but I cannot explain why he picks Dykes nor can I explain why Bonne is nowhere to be seen. |

Question is why did they board have such a dramatic change in their vision of the club going forward
It went 180degrees the opposite way in one season from experience to youth
No business plan should have such a dramatic change in in vision like this going forward
It’s crazy business move and you are seeing the result now cannot understand it at all baffled

I can only assume he backs himself to make Dykes come good. walking home we were discussing that Willock and roberts are not match fit but you can see how influential both are when neither is on the pitch. Until they’re fit is there an argument for starting one and the other on the bench and then they replace each other so one is Always playing?? Not long term solution but for next 4/5 games until they are matchfit |
