Is there something wrong behind the scenes ? Be nice to hear an honest explanation but I don’t think we will get one.
So much secrecy it’s untrueIs there something wrong behind the scenes ? Be nice to hear an honest explanation but I don’t think we will get one.
In fairness to Bond, when he left he did say whoever is in charge it’s not going to be easyI can't wait to lose against Yeovil on Saturday - Director of football there? Bond, Kevin Bond!
Just another depressing watch.
Liven up a little in the second half but still did not really test the keeper.
Thought Colin did well on a few occasions so should start again on Saturday along with Benton who could even have won a penalty very late on,
Back to part-time football probably then.The Lopata episode however you view it has clearly unsettled the squad. Lost our best player and leader at the back and I'm sure other players will follow his lead in the summer.
Him or us?Back to part-time football probably then.
The reason a fair few want Maher to stay is what he's done prior to this awful run.I'm not sure if I can express my opinion as I am not a qualified coach....
But our qualified coaches have lead us to 7 losses in a row.
7 Losses in the Vanarama National League
You know, it used to be the Vauxhall Conference.
Tonight we lost our 7th game in a row against a team who play in a ****ing park.
7 in a row would have been totally understandable while they were not being paid.
Yeah Ron has lead us here. Totally agree.
He does not set the current set of players up for games.
He does not bring on the recognised striker on the bench with 6 minutes of normal time.
Oh it's a bummer Kacper ****ed off, but I don’t remember him scoring or creating.
I don't want Kev and Co to fail. But if his name wasn’t Maher, with all that goodwill in the bank, he'd be gone or going and the majority would be calling for it.
An even smaller squad then? As there is no sign of an end to the embargo and anyone with 1/2 a brain would sign for a club that actually pays wagers where would that leave us?Agree with all - except that 'nucleus'.
Have consistently said most were flattering to deceive.
Would keep Cardwell, Bridge, Miley, GSM and maybe Arnold as first-team or back-up -and even then would want to check his fitness.
433 or 4231 would be my preferred formation. Not overly keen on 532.Should be playing 3 at the back against this lot
Reminds me of Chris Powell towards the end of his Blues tenure - a Southend legend who has been shattered by the poisoned chalice of managing this basket case of a club.Kev sounded shattered on bbc essex right now. Asked the same question 2 weeks in a row. "How do turn it around" or words to that effect. He just sounds lost.
What can he say/do to inspire change?
Not a criticism or putting the boot in. A genuine question.
Should he come out to these interviews fired up?
I don't think the formation makes the slightest difference.433 or 4231 would be my preferred formation. Not overly keen on 532.
Him or us?
