Bit of fire from Jacko

That was a really dumb question to ask, he answered it at the beginning haha, his response was very much warranted

I couldn’t even get through it. Almost as painful as watching the game and the reporter was hopeless.

Really uninspiring performance. If the away bay was on the other side in the sun I probably could have fallen asleep after a few drinks at the Beer festival.

The boys really don't seem to gel as well as previous seasons. I know the last two seasons we had a core that had been playing together from NPL, but there have been a few instances this season where the players get mad at each other and not in an acceptable competitive kind of way.

Why is our captain (who i think has been better than some have given him credit, but still not near his peak) not seeing out games? We have 3 centre backs and he is the one that gets taken off. How is he not fit enough to see out the 90? (yes i know, zoom fitness lessons).

Hubby asked the exact same re Sainsbury tonight.

To clarify, the fitness sessions are not via zoom and we have an in person S&C coach. We have a “consultant” who “consults” via zoom. Hope we are genuinely not paying the bloke because this forum could possibly “consult” better, for free.

As to whether the S & C coach is up to par, the jury is out. By all accounts he’s a good guy and a good coach who worked under Bryce. By my eyeballs, the results are unfavourable to our last few seasons by a mile. Something isn’t working / clicking.

This is what happened the last time he got sacked in UK (Carlisle?)
Shit football, refusal to change and was eventually punted

You don't have a clue Fulham. He joined a just relegated Milton Keynes Dons when they were in free fall. They were in 22nd spot and his first game in charge was their first win in 4 months. They got a futher 5 wins but still got relegated so he got sacked with a 24% win ratio in a shit side (9 draws)
They are still in the same division in 18th spot and still no where near Carlisle.

It was MK Dons, heaps of injuries, missed relegation by 1 point. A good run followed by lots of injuries followed by relegation.

Similar circumstances did happen 2 clubs in a row though...I think it was Doncaster before the Dons.

Don't think he was ever at Carlisle. Edmo and Alfie were but they played under him for Leeds or England youth, that's the connection.

He was never at Doncaster but his assistant Danny Schofield was. Do you blokes do research for the ABC?
