The Spitfires v THE SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES MAGGIES

Posted by M64 on April 15, 2021, 11:10 pm

Another dire performance against the Moors.

How low are we going to sink? I'll be amazed if we make the play-offs, it looks to me as though he's lost the dressing room already.

The only thing I can say is that when the fans come back the protests will be so loud his position becomes untenable and the owner will either have to act or he'll realise that he's just got to go for his own preservation.

Eastleigh are only 5 points behind us, they'll be treating this like a cup final and the way Notts are at the moment a draw wouldn't surprise me.

You only have to press us hard and we make mistakes, long balls into the box, press and push the defenders and we seem all at sea.

Burchnall said we've got long throw ins coming into the box, they're a real threat, yet we hardly ever seem to use Ellis any longer with his long throw.

The man is clueless. I'm afraid the season is almost a write off.

Tell me I'm wrong Fred, happy to be proved wrong and we get promoted but I just can't see it with this clown.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...

Foxie has asked that he be woken up when he's been sacked!

I didn't actually watch the Solihull game.
From the audio commentary I got the feeling that our perfomance was quite good we just were inefficient in both boxes,
So keep performing lads and this rut will go away.
I an not overly positive about our chances in this game but will be bold enough to predict a victory.
Notts to win 3-0.

Maggie im not sure what to make of it at the moment to be honest. I thought and it looked like Ardley did before he went so is it down to the players? I have no belief in us getting up this season bar a miracle so will agree on that point. We wasted so many points in the first half of the season it was laughable. I only read the report and like Swedish it seemed we were on top but has as been the case all season we can't score in a brothel if it was free. The players need to man up and play as though they still want a job next season because the way they are playing the majority won't. We gave Ardley over 2 years and look where he as left us!! He will be here till at least the end of next season bar a catastrophe so we need to give him the chance next season. Will it work or will it end in tears who knows but I agree when the crowds come back and he does not get off on the front step like this season then the noise will be heard loud and clear.It is a strange appointment but we have to trust the owners who haven't let us down so far,
For this game I haven't a clue but will be positive and a 2-0 win. Will Birdy come back to haunt us????

I'm afraid Fred some us no longer trust the owners, they've killed the season.

As to look where Ardley left us, 5th in the league, games in hand and an outside chance of the title!

He got us to the play-off final last season, with a team that had no pre-season together, and it was possible that without the lockdown, we could have nicked the title.

He most certainly thought Notts could win it as he told me so on the train one trip back to London. Unlike this clown who inspires the fans by publicly saying live on radio, we've given up on automatic promotion. Disgraceful.

Should I then give supporting the club because we won't go up this season and start again next season. He's a clown.

I'll be returning and making a 300 mile round trip to vent my anger.

I'm hoping that our inconsistent run of form will continue today with a surprise unexpected easy win. So, ever bold, I go 3-0 Pies!

I can only assume that IB has sneaked in to Mr Ms house and crapped in his cornflakes while Foxie was taking a walk. IB has come in to a club, who have been playing dire most of the season, but have managed to be in the play-offs courtesy of how bad some of the others are and several points picked up thanks to a "moment of magic" which NA seemed to ask for before/ after every match!
We have a lot of talented players but at the moment it's like having a team full of Stefan Oakes. Skill - yes, ability do the donkey work and fight to win/ express themselves - not so much

My impression so far of IB is positive. We are still dire but listening to the radio, Stall' & Charlie are no longer threatening to fall asleep, bored stupid or so miserable.
All signs that the club are moving in the right direction.

Notts to win 2-1

I have no idea what to make of it anymore. One thing I was not happy with was the picking of Turner. Sorry but why drop him for Ellis when he is not played many games this season so should be fit as. Something must have gone wrong with Enzio or why is he on the bench, although he is not been consistent since he came here.

The players need to man up and stop missing chances or we would be winning more than losing as it is at present. He seems to be pointing them in the right direction but they are failing to achieve yet again this season. Even Guardiola wouldn't help this team at the moment. A clear out again is needed sadly if 2 managers can't get them playing just like the relegation season.
