I can't see us paying off FC if I'm honest, it would cost money that we probably can't afford to spend.
And then who would replace him? All of the signings for next season have been made by FC, so whoever came in would be inheriting a squad that they had absolutely no say in whatsoever.

I've seen enough over this season to convince myself that FC isn't good enough to be a SL coach, but I will be surprised if he gets the sack.

FC isn't to blame

In your opinion.

FFS I made a "joke".

What are you, Quote A Cliche"?

"Let's just see shall we".

Well, let me examine the alternatives to that:

1. Buy a time machine, travel into the future, and see what happened.

2. Er, that's it.

Have you actually got anything meaningful to say?

But somebody has to carry the can, and all coaches have been judged by results and performances since time immemorial, and always will be.

I don't claim to have an inside track to the workings of the board, but where is there a board in the world that wouldn't be royally fscked off by the way we have petered out this season?

My biggest reservation about Franny when he got the gig was this; Is He A Leader Of Men. I will say that he has surprised me quite a bit, and has gone up in my estimation, taking all things into account. But hands up all those who are happy that the team today played like they were fearful of the hairdryer when they got off the pitch.

I've no inside track either but yesterday was worrying. I thought Scrutes and Naz, who've both played well this year were poor. You could start to pick holes in some of FC's decisions but you have to let a coach in his first year, make the calls. I didn't understand letting Joseph go and bringing in Evans who might be a SL player but isn't right now. Similarly, as the season's wore on I don't see what Jamie Foster brings. Others will disagree.

There is, however, one thing that stands out like a sore thumb. Gale/Sammut doesn't work. The fact that FC dropped Sammut recently suggests he thinks it's a structure problem and Sammut isn't doing what he's told. From the terrace it looks like Gale moves in treacle and the ball is too slow. Against Hull, when paired with Addy he looked more at home but when Sammut came on he changed the game.

I've no idea if what inquisitor says is true but Gale's body language is unacceptable for a pro player and the signing of Gaskell suggests FC sees the problem at 6, not 7. It's a big call and needs Gale to improve dramatically for a good pre-season.

Stuck in traffic on the M62 and A650 for a couple of hours getting to the game, but I was still moving faster than the players on the pitch! Apart from a few honourable exceptions there seemed to be a lack of effort and no leadership. The body language some of the players were showing was dreadful and must have been a motivation for London

I don't know, someone has nuked my thread. I suspect the Syrian regime, but I have no absolute proof.


No, I'm afraid we didn't. If you can't afford a paper, do you know you can look up the table online?

No doubt someone will correct me if my timings are wrong, but when I got there about 2.30ish, Foster was out practising with not too may others. The main body of palyers came out to warm up around twenty to by which time London had been out for some good length of time. It smacked then that we were just not up for it, and that has to come down to the coaching staff. We probably thought we only had to turn up and the victory was ours.

A lethargic performance by the Bulls which was unworthy of the club.
London had plenty of effort with players who still need to put themselves in the shop window

Mine worked superbly well : Mathematically correct with an intuitive input and elegant layout.
Sadly my predictions were nowhere near as good.
I blame those clubs who selfishly failed to adhere to my predictions by having the audacity to win when they should have lost.

Better luck next year maybe

Are we all getting a bit too exited about this, yes we had a bad performance, but it was stated at the start of the year that we may just make the playoffs, don't start trying to sack the coach in his first year, he did get us into 3rd place at one stage of the season.
A lot of poor/shady referring lost us a few games not just poor playing performances.
