“ You should aim to win every game “

You should aim to win every game. Winning games breeds confidence :thumbright: if you have no interest or intention of winning the game then play behind closed doors, not fair on the fans who attend :cry:

Fans paid their hard earned money.

I have no doubt that all 18 players chosen yesterday wanted to win.

However, the effort of preparation towards the game and opposition was probably minimal. All week in training no doubt the focus is on Fulham. I for one dont begrudge that as long as it is obvious to see come Friday.

Spot on Annis, so called first teamers must be relaxed about their positions!!!!

Said this in the Bennet thread, since we shipped his only realistic opposition for the full back shirt he has gone slightly backwards.

Darren Stevens:

Agree you play to win every game, we need to build momentum at the moment. The 11 picked last night should have won that game. It included 8 players signed by the manager Warnock.

Guess like a lot of clubs city didn't set out to win but hope on wing prayer half reserve side might win the game? I get the gripe about losing and performance but last night was no different for 99%9 of clubs playing weakened teams last night.. were people actually
that surprised we lost given previous years of doing this and having same results even before NW i must add. :old:

We are suppose to have a strong squad challenging for Automatic Promotion, for me this shows that it’s weak to get hammered at home 0/3.

Small amount of possession against a lower league side is abysmal in my eyes

It shows every manager and his dog knows our tactics.

This is not a player or team problem it's a tactical problem.. first game this season I actually left early I was more excited to get home and watch the new season of Power

Strong who says so annis? Its week in several places everyone can see that even NW? I'm thinking as his time come to end as history tells you 2/3yrs is most he does because cant get anymore out of the players with his tactics! We have pace to burn but never use it appropriately, also if look at corners either for us or against us he uses same tactics which leaves us open to the counter attack but also leaves us with no way of attacking ourselves ! Can see him going before xmas unless something strange happens with team like looking solid and capable of winning away we'll be out contention for promotion probably

And now being reported the club will not sign free agents for longer than until the end of this season.
But would prefer deals until xmas
:banghead:

Would say lewis holtby only sign a short term contract?

Totally agree Annis.

I do feel that we have no depth in our squad, the team fielded last night wouldn’t be able to compete in L2 let alone L1, the future certainly doesn’t look bright at this moment in time

We did aim to win.

We also haven’t got a squad big enough to go on a cup run and try and get promoted.

So the better option was chosen.

Wonder if we'll reach a stage when clubs don't enter some cup competitions?

Re: “ You should aim to win every game “

Thu Aug 29, 2019 7:51 am

Cups will always be approached this way by teams in our position (hoping to challenge in the league) we have to be careful now as we have made that clear with team selection and result yesterday. This will no doubt increase the pressure if we continue to slide

Aim to win but unfortunately cant win them all no matter what side you put out 1st 11 or 2nd team it's what happens on the day? Always as been and always will be. :old:

Allan,
No one side you can win them all, but to lose 0-3 at home to a second string Luton side and we played 8 first team players is acceptable is it?

And struggling in the Championship?


It was said by the club we were looking to go straight back, early days yes, but so far not played well and signings for me were not promotion quality over all.

Allan, fair comment but Warnock must take the blame for the utterly poor performance, it's not exactly if we are flying in the league, is it?
