Does that mean they are going to defy odds and......I'm not going to say it!
The game is still wide open. |

Richards and Elsnik took all their goals well today, Richards played very well but Elsnik was the difference between the teams.

Switched the radio off at 1-3. Wildly surprised when I checked in to see what the scathing feedback was going to be.

Well, it's like watching the Barnet/Crawley games again. Flitcroft's only influence on this bunch of players is to some how make them collectively worse than the sum of their parts.
To start with, the continued use of two attacking midfielders as wing backs has essentially exposed our team to anyone fancying running in behind them. Neither of them has a clue how to play the role and it's unfair on them as both have good qualities. That compounds the problem of playing a back five, which seems to be for no other reason than it can make Flitcroft look like he has tactical nouse - he doesn't. The three centre halves also have no idea how to play in the formation when teams run at us - they are playing as individuals in a back three, not as a back three. They are limited players, don't confuse the fucking issue for them, make it simple.
The decision to then take off Woollery is another example of Flitcroft trying to show he is clever - it is a constant theme of his time here. The reality is he has not got a clue.
We may go on to win 5-2, even if we did it would be inspite of the Managers influence and not because of.
I'd get rid of him, as I would have done since about 10 games in to be honest. You can get plenty of run of the mill League 2 level Managers and give them a half decent budget and they should be able to mount a mid table/play off challenge. At least they won't be a dick while doing it.

A dire quality of game saved by a player who is clearly playing well below his level in Elsnik.
Richards is twice the player Norris is.
Flitcroft can still go fuck himself - it's not rocket science that a player of Elsnik's ability would be better than Dunne (I'm not having a pop at Flitcroft for not starting him, I get that decision). He's just had two or three players get him out of jail today. Everything I stated at half time still stands, which was why the going on to win 5-2 comment was made. Crewe were truly awful.

Not really. I stand by it all. The team has enough ability within it for this level to comfortably be where we are. You could send 11 of them out in roughly the right positions and they'd be just as likely to win as lose, which is our season in a nutshell. I haven't changed my opinion all season long on that, feel free to check. It is my personal opinion that Flitcroft makes us collectively worse as a team. |
