Lets face it I cant think of one performance when I have come away from a game of football under Malky and thought that I had watched good players playing good football.Okay he had the excuse last year that he did not have the players and we over achieved last season etc etc but it was still crap to watch.
I honestly think we have signed some good players but the first three games,and I have seen them all ,the football is just as crap!
I really dont think the football will change as it his stlye,all this press and hard work is one thing but there has to be some structure to the play! Yesterday was a diaster waiting to happen in my opinion you only have to look at our man of the match in the two previous games to prove that!
Like I said at the moment Malkys football stinks I hope it can change,but sadly my belief is he doesnt know any other way!!!

MM last season set up our team not to lose hoping for midtable finish (nobody thought we would have the good season we had last season) .. But this season MM has started with the same tactics & its not going to work. if the preformances stay the same some of the players are going to kick off, because they just dont look comfortable with the system or tactics

It was quite noticeable towards the end of last season that the stadium was no where near the attendance figure provided and the crowds were declining. We then had a dip in season ticket holders and you have to question whether that was due to the brand of football being played at CCS. The second half of last season was hard to watch playing the same formation/type of football home and away. We certainly lacked the flair of the Bothroyd, Burke, Chopra days. We may have the work rate and team ethos but the football was/is not as attractive to watch.
I hope that MM changes things up and the introduction of Kim, etc, provides us with a bit more attacking football, more goals and more wins.

Agreed it does stink but things will have to change for better or worse one way or the other as alot of fans can not longer bite/grin at watching piss poor showings in 2012. Think when was the last time you left after a game thinking wow we played some top flowing stuff and played the other team off the park

I can not think of any since MM has been here at all in that repect. He has the players he craved for last season now so it has to change surely its just the last three games ive not seen any diffrence in the style of play at all which is the same as the back half of last season to a tee. Atleast we got plenty of time now to get going

Totally agree 100%, Malky was employed with no past achievements in management and sorry to say it won't happen here either, the football we play is dire and he has no plan B or evan a plan A.
We have a good squad of players but we aren't getting the football that the squad should be producing, could say its the players but surely they all can't keep having an off day game in game out.
I'm Malky I don't trust.

Thats exactly what I mean ! I think you are right fans now know whats its going to be like so it an easy thing to do not to go as it is so awful and predictable to watch,at least if we played like Stoke if would be fun ,its just not fun watching this team! I also think certain players could cause him a problem for him if it continues,I for one hope they do !!

I agree, & i hope yesterday's result is a wake up call for MM, or he will just be stubborn and keep playing the same way?

This is the thing from the second half of last season, we are "predictable to watch" other teams must see how predictabe we are, which makes it easy for them to play against us

He will continue this way because he knows no better

We are so predictable to watch and we dont seem to change the way we play when the oposing team has a system and last season I could take that and understand,but this season he by his own admission does not have that problem.I know we are all experts but come on every one could see what was happening yesterday.Both the first two goals came straight through the middle of our centre back when not 5 minutes before they nearly scored with exactly the same move !
