Seriously? Can we have a bit of perspective FFS?
According to the prediction league, 16 posters predicted PNE wins or a draw. Out of 64 posts. That's a quarter. So I guess there's your answer Durutti.Seriously? Can we have a bit of perspective FFS?
It's not about today in isolation. The alarming lack of resilience which is getting worse needs to be addressed. We look a demoralised team.Seriously? Can we have a bit of perspective FFS?
Nice one. So had we had another manager and the teams were the same you would have expected to beat Watford away?Course not, as we knew Neil was in charge.
Agreed - Wycombe is must win for meI expected a heavy defeat and expect the same at Bournemouth. However, if we then fail against Wycombe i really don’t see a way back for the manager and I believe the owner will then act.
You make a very good point but I don’t think Trevor Hemmings has performed any better....put the two together and that’s why we are were are.Perspective!!! for god sake look at our results over the last 12 months and then tell me AN is the right man for the job.
Jesus some people actually are totally and utterly clueless!
Nice one. Where did I say that?Nice one. So had we had another manager and the teams were the same you would have expected to beat Watford away?
Typical North End fan stupidity.
I think that's half correct. Hemmings has totally fucked over Neil and he certainly doesn't look like a man who is getting away with anything. He looks like a man who knows the game and knows his squad isn't good enough. He can't do much about that given the lack of support from upstairs.This is a really odd season in an odd world and our club is approaching it in a way we have not experienced before, with the bizarre situation of a manager and owner who clearly can't stand each other but neither will blink first.
This now culminates in post match situations like today. Manager basically shrugging his shoulders and saying "what do you expect against these with our investment" but safe in the knowledge that his only remit is to keep us in the league. But at the same time hates the owner as he won't help him achieve his personal ambition but is prepared to pay him a massive salary.
At the same time a club who delete any negative reference from the manager to a lack of investment and are happy to just finish 19th in the Champ. But at the same time publically over inflate their ambition and would love to have a more compliant manager but refuse to pay him off.
All of this played out when there are no fans in the ground so to some extent both manager and owner think they are getting away with it. Well, they are in for a rude surprise when fans are allowed back in because if tickets were on general sale for the Wycombe game, even after a 10 month absence, I'd be surprised to see 5,000 in the ground next Saturday.
It's a bloody mess.
