How many players did Frank Get? Players that he truly wanted. Just like the 20 managers before him, there haven't been enough players bought to compete.

And you this how?
What players did he truly want? Gibbs White?
Kudus? Semenyo?
If we’re going on bullshit reports he was happy with Gallagher and didn’t want Lookman.
He agreed with Lange that we could hang on until injuries cleared up.

Are you part of the press corps actually trying to gaslight me (or probably yourself) into saying Frank wasn’t an absolute fuck up

We just played Frank ball. Let that sink in. New manager came in and for all the talk about being more attacking he was as pragmatic as the previous coach. Fucking laughable decision going for a journeyman interim with no prem experience in the position we are in. We are in big big trouble.

I’ll give him a pass based on 1 the amount of time he’s had to implement a style or anything and 2 the limited number of players available to him even one of a Kudus or Kulusevski makes a massive difference today.


Bodies back is the number 1 need

Yes they have said that. Many hype him to the eyeballs. You don;t get a free pass because you are 19 years old. It is a man's game and you cannot afford passengers with the excuse of age. Others are passengers because they are of age and shit. But that isn;t my point.

My point was that we would have been better off playing him rather than Dragusin. It seems a rather agreeable point, no?

Is he overhyped? I don't know or care really right now- I just like that he is competent and steady, even if perhaps a bit unspectacular though.

I'm not sure we were conned.

The truth is that THFC has been run with a business-first mentality since before I was born onto this earth.

This club with its stadium and facilities and all else is a fraud.

It drives up to its fans dressed as a Rolls Royce Phantom, then you open the door and inside it's furnished like a written-off Ford Mondeo and up front there's the engine of a Reliant Robin.

Rake in mountains of cash every year but run the club like a small one.

They think we are mugs and take their liberties with us year in and year out. At this point they are probably right to take us for marks and they aren't even stealing from us if we just continue letting them do it, they have permission!

The kids count, you know.

Vicario been shite for months...but yeah he starts over Austin.

Pal ain't a CB, Drag is generally awful (was decent first half though)...friggin try Jun'ai (not sure why he wasn't on bench?).

Djed is shite and a massive cunt...give that Rowswell lad a shot. Or Souza.

Gray ain't a top level RB, but much better at CM than Pape who's been atrocious for months and months. Fuck me, I'd rather play Olusesi than ever seeing Sarr (or Biss) again.

I'd have fucked Xavi off after 30 mins...LWB would've given you lots more effort.

We probably still would've got hammered, but they would've gone done fighting instead of spreading their bumcheeks as wide as humanly possible for that Woolwich cock.

What's the point of Tudor. It literally was like having Frank on the bench.

They won't even be going through the disallowed goal I guess. Imagine it was them having it disallowed, they will be alluding that as the main cause for the loss and beating the PGMOL for poor officiating.

The total farce with the linesman's Comms in the first half and the start of the 2nd proved just what an amateur shower of shit the whole organisation is...
No wonder they bow to corruption!

Maybe they can send the money Woolwich clearly gave them to get some better audio equipment!

Yeah but the problem we have is the bodies are all long term injured. What we actually needed was a good transfer window. I didn't see anything today that was any different than what we've already been doing in the league and that is worrying. It was exactly the same and we have no good players due back any time soon.
 
Knew the defeat was coming (despite my tongue in cheek prediction of a win).

I'm in such a state of apathy with this club though it's really not going to bother me. And that's the sad thing. I should be raging at this. But I'm so fed up with there being no hope of improvement it's just a shake of the head and I get on with my evening.

It was always a big ask that he was going to have the impact we hoped for with the handful of mediocre players available.

I just hope he has enough about him to make the difference we need to keep us up.
