Late flurry of goals hid the awful truth.
That was a terrible football match and we had know answer for 90 minutes against a well organised but untalented side.

Had we needed that OG or even penalties to win that, it would have almost been as pathetic as losing.

It was the usual Angeball vs Organisedball.
Keep trying to get it out wide then whip a low cross in.

The front 3 selection was awful. If you didn't cringe upon hearing that, vs a bunch of blokes who probably have bar fights most weekends, you're very naive.

We didn't have a fcuking sniff of a decent chance and you should have been able to predict that.

Was the starting 11 good enough? They should have been.
Should the coach have been able to recognise that team selection would struggle?

100%

What did you make of his outfit though?
 
I'm saying that we won and really, in a one off cup game, it doesn't matter how or why because no one will care if we go on to win it.

- We won't go on to win it.

- I LOVE this because when we win despite a shit performance, its all about the result. When we lose but were the better team, its all about the underlying metrics and performances.

The guy sucks. This was yet another beyond dismal performance this season which we escaped being punished for purely by virtue of our opponents being amateurs. We now have to hope we step it up massively for a huge league game where if we lose you can realistically say we are in the relegation discussion.

& he will still have people supporting him - why? To show off how reasonable they are on a football forum. That they are "not like those fans" and back the manager. Utter stupidity.

Nah I've called out the shit performance, it was awful, but it's still a cup game. Had we have blown them away 8-0 you'd be in here saying it's only Tamworth and who gives a shit.

Srill no idea if Ange will turn this season around for us but today isn't telling us anything about anything.

You called an L for Wednesday...... let's see
 
I think his fans need to get used to the idea that he won't be our manager for much longer. Thank Satan.

Hopefully they fuck off with him.

I don't hate him, he's just not good enough for the job. Not his fault. I do hate his fans who are now this far behind him out of some weird ideological stubbornness more than because they actually think he's any good.

Yes I would - they had plumbers and delivery drivers in their team. You don't get praise for smashing plumbers and delivery drivers, its just expected you will do it.

Yes it fucking is, its telling us we have a struggling coach who is unable to coach two good performances in a row.

Why let's see? Even if we lost 5-0 you wouldn't change your mind. You'd continue to back him because you can't switch up now as you're too far gone. You will continue to cry context and attempt to appear reasonable. Nothing will change. Ultimately he will be sacked (because, despite what his fanboys cry, the results are terrible) and you will all shamelessly scuttle in to cover.

I have never shamlessly scuttled for cover because of something I have no control over.

I have called shit out when I see shit, but he is here and I'll support him until he isn't as I have done pretty much every Spurs manager.

It's more fun for me to support my club that way. You do you though.

Agreed. I don't hate him either and have said I think he's the most likeable manager we have had since Jol.

His style of football simply isn't suitable for the Prem.

We have players in the premier league context that may as well be plumbers and delivery drivers as well. In fact Werner probably couldnt even do that. Put simply we dont have enough quality and thats going to be further exposed playing on an ice skating rink.

Today does tell us something. Of course it does. About Ange and his selection of pansies. And it’s not good
 
People acting like there has never been massive shock results in the FA Cup before , ( not that we actually lost , although probably deserved to) . Happened loads of times minnows beating big clubs , will happen again in the future .

Personally I don’t give a shit , we are still in there punching . If we get to the Carabao cup final and lose nobody will say “ fair play to Spurs they beat City , Utd and Liverpool to reach the final .
 
so was Kinsky and everyone is liking what they see so far. Vicario isn't too shabby either.

Bergvall and Gray were as well. Seem like a couple of talented young players to me.

I rate VDV pretty highly too.
Yep. Fair point. His one bad buy to date is Johnson. Werner horrendous, but a loan. We will be losing one at the end of the aeason

Tbh I think we should cut our losses on Johnson. Previously I thought ok as a sub but I don’t think that’s viable. He seems naturally to lack confidence. Never have or will hate on him. Seems a nice kid, but he’s not a winner. Get rid in the summer
