Well...... where do I start...... back home, but that was abysmal.
No passion, no fire, misdirected passes, no positives out of that game at all.
Our “goal” was frankly a scrimmage where everyone bar greenfield had a go. Graham claimed it.
.
Petgrave..... geez what a frustrating player to watch, dreadful tonight, unforced errors, going it alone, missing player assignments. Poor. Poor, poor same goes for Allen, Connolly, ciampini

Dare I say the arrival of Vally has disrupted things....it’s akin to Ronaldo returning to Man Utd. He worked hard but I don’t think we have got the vally of old at the moment...

Clearly We have a major problem, no idea what has happened but wheels have come off, I’ve never been one to openly call for a coaching change but I am afraid we need a change in Aaron Fox, Tony has backed him to the hilt but yet again we are seeing a season grind to a grizzly end, we seem to have no plan B., C, D, teams have us sussed.

A very despondent 22 season plus fan.

What a painful watch that was. 2 goals scored in 3 games is an absolutely shocking stat for a team challenging for the title. The effort looks to be there, but the application sadly missing.
Don't envy Fox or Smith, one or both have some tough decisions to make over the next few weeks I feel.

I don’t think anyone thinks it’s ok.

Any fool can see the goals have dried up and we’re struggling big time. If solving the problem we’re easy it would already have been done. What has been done so far is not working. The question is do we have a coach able to find what works?

There will be a change in personnel next season, of that there’s no doubt.

I was sarcastically referring to the Twitter post on the clubs official account.

Yeah I noticed. The official account never acknowledges there's an issue until after the change is made, then 6 months later it comes out that they knew and were looking for a change but in the meantime any fans who had the cheek to raise the issue are dismissed, ridiculed and undermined via the club's official ( or unofficial ) media outlets. This isn't the first and won't be the last time this method is used.

What a way to keep people loyal eh ?, does it ever occur to them that there may be an alternative approach ? , probably not. Honesty, respect, trust, understanding......

I think the club know there’s an issue, the recent article in The Star highlights this for me.

It’s don’t think any official account of any club would wash any slightly dirty laundry in public.
