6!!!(!

 

[The Late One]

Is RM at the game or is he at Roots Hall putting the kettle on for the next Q & A session ??

 

[meerkat54]

We seem to blame MM for everything just now, but a large chunk of the players have no passion, hunger, desire, pride and self esteem. What a gutless runt of players we have, in no way are there many professional players at our club, what a sorry state we are in !

MM had no choice but to play the youth team and reserves today. This was a dead rubber and if we could, im sure we would have forfeited it.

This could end 10-0 and honestly I wouldn't care aslong as we go to Walsall Saturday and get a win.

MM has 2 league games left from what I've heard so no doubt the first team would have trained this morning and tomorrow

 

[BluePartridge]

Cardboard fans, and a cardboard team.

After losing to non league opposition at the weekend, I bet this Colchester team were given the bollocking of all bollockings. Molesley probably bought them all a stick of rock for their efforts at Boreham Wood!

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Sol Campbell was Jugen Klopp compared to this clown

 

[GNH]

Sums everything up when you log on late to have a look at how we are doing, see we are 6-0 down to our bitter rivals and couldn't really care.

OUR CLUB IS BEING KILLED

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

We would still have lost if he’d put him up front and put Dieng or Olayinka in midfield. Love your podcasts and respect your opinion, but Ron is responsible for this mess.

Club has been run into the ground by Ron, no getting away from that. Molesley cannot be exempt from criticism though

Sol Campbell, as bonkers as he was, was getting more out of these lads. We’ve gone backwards and Molesley was able to get players in, Sol wasn’t.

 

[Chalky]

I want a statement from the club by the morning.

I should of clocked MM weren't the guy when Harry Redknapp reccomended him. I even argued with a poster on here about it, I am sorry to you, I should of been aware.

It's over. I know chopping & changing is not a great strategy, but we must call it a day on this management team.

Enough.

 

[kentblues]

I'm sorry these players are not being coached. Made a million times worse by Glenn Pennyfather clear understanding everything that is wrong. Its the basics.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Let's see, the players aren't working; I-Follow isn't working; the players that would be working aren't working because they're injured.

You have to wonder whether we should hope for a 1-0 defeat at Walsall, and cut our losses.

 

[Jcd]

I really wanted MM to succeed.
Sounded like a good , progressive appointment and as far as I recall , many felt similar optimism.
I remember watching the Gillingham game and being quite impressed.
Sadly it’s gone horribly wrong.
Many many factors out of his control and against him , but still this has been a horror show and think he has to go now.
That said I don’t expect anyone to improve what we have.
Just feel sad

Totally agree mate, as much as it is a dead rubber, tonight for me is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Seems like a decent bloke probably with some good football ideas but we just can't keep going on like this.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

If Ron was hesitant about the need to get some players in then he has surely been convinced tonight.
If MM had got anything from this then Ron might have been more inclined to keep the war chest buried.
Now he has to do all he can to get the embargo lifted etc.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Couldn't give a toss about this. Bring on Saturday.

 

[Ricey]

Steve Tilson incoming...

I dont think MM is fully targeted, RM certainly is a cause for many or our issues. But it is the job of MM and his team to put fire in the players belly and motivate etc... Which we cant see or feel :(

This mob can't even control a football!
