Title: why cant....
Post by: STFCere on Sunday, February 26, 2006, 00:21:35
the team's efforts ever match the fan's efforts?

1) none of them give a shite
2) most of them are just thinking about the weekend/how to spend the pay cheque
3) they know they are shite, so dont care anyway
4) they couldnt care less about the club

or all 4?!

my guess = all 4

I just posted something similiar

At the end of the day, its a job to them....and they get paid no matter what.

If they want to leave us when it all goes pear shaped, then they can just wipe their hands of us and move on, where as us fans are left in a mess they created

No team can play with so many under performing. Don't blame all of them.  How many games do you think we'll win with this line-up?


....................Evans.......................
Missing Missing O'Hanlon Nicholas
...Missing Missing Brown Missing...
..............Peacock Cureton.............

I don't think it was down to a lack of effort at all, it was down to poor defending and a non existent midfield.

Even when we were losing we were still trying to get forward and passing the ball around. It was always going to be difficult but at 2-0 down our heads just dropped and no one looked confident. If Peacocks shot that hit the bar had gone in who knows? I still reckon we played some nice passing football at time.

Give credit to Forest aswell as they were very good. Tyson and Holt are two very good strikers and they have a lot of quality. I think we played them at a very bad time tbh, if Megson was still in charge of Forest it could have been different.

Cureton and many others looked absolutely gutted at the end. I think you're all getting very carried away. Before the last two games the players have looked really up for it and have put a lot of effort in. I'm sure (well I hope anyway) that this defeat will make them more determined to make up for it.

Good, fair comments.
I said the same myself about Peacock's shot that hit the crossbar. That would have made the score 1-1 andthe game could have been a very different one.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  as if O'Hanlon and Nicho were there Saturday!!!!! It was their right winger that got a hat trick of taps in, no?

Ifils fault, im sure thats why Nicho man was unmarked all the time.

Are you Andy King you seem to blame Ifil for everything?

o'hanlon is our best defender by a mile,but struggles as captain.the rest poor -average.
ifil had improved of late but is still erratic to say the least.

but Ifil has been playing better than O'Hanlon for weeks.

Our best defender is Alan Reeves, probably followed by CCP....then Ifil....

I rate Nicho, but to rank him alongside the 'cock, Evans, and Curo over the last couple of weeks is just stupid.

Evans - Free
Smith - Free
O'Hanlon - Free
Ifil - 50k
Nicholas - Free
Shakes - Free
Miglioranzi - Free
Brown - Free
Jarrett - Loan
Cureton - Free
Peacock - Free

Forest

Tyson - 650k
Holt - 350k
Commons - 300k

but also what wages must they be paying out aswell, Gary Holt, Southall David Johnson, Commons 300k

wecant compare with that but thats no reason why our players cant run there hearts out and at least try which they didnt do

Going with that argument,Forest should be top coz they've spent more than anyone else.Truth is by their own fans admission(I spent all weekend talking to loads)they are not a good side.I think today anyone would have got a hatful against us because Rhys was the only one that turned up.

True, forest have not been a good side, but they SHOULD have been.They have the best team in the league on paper man for man, but for whatever reason they didnt put it together under megson.

It would seem like they are starting to add up to somthing resembling the sum of thier parts now i'll be interested to see how they get on in thier next couple of games.
