LEESE OUT.

0 - 3 at h/t.

Fans booing off the team.

It is time for a change. In his post-match interview last week AL said that there was a lack of effort. A poor mid-week showing and then getting pasted at home does not suggest to me that AL is the man to turn this around. 

Time to get someone in who can salvage the season.

ABYSMAL!

A squad that are not up for it

A midfield that just simply aren't up to it

A manager that thinks managing is standing with your hands on your hips or your head in your hands...both silently!!!

Cray @ Bromley? Forget it 😠🤬

Nine goals conceded in three successive home games within a week! Ouch!

Changed out of their kit or changed clubs?

Listened to the commentary first half and it was clear how flat the performance was. We’re missing the drive and enthusiasm that players like Percy K brought last season. Conceding so many goals so regularly - something needs to change on the playing side.

The manager has his critics (plenty of them) but deserves credit for fronting up in post-match interviews - plenty wouldn’t. Supporters aren’t known for their patience but that’s what is needed now.

Season after season of constant change and constant inconsistency. Two decent performances followed by two poor one's..One poor half followed by one decent half..Very rarely have we produced a settled starting 11 playing a settled system/formation over the last 3-4 seasons.

Cannot see our cautious and pragmatic board changing manager halfway through a season unless relegation becomes a real possibility but as it stands i feel a change will have to be made at the end of this campaign.

Fronting up in post match interviews isn’t really helping performances on the pitch.

Yeah...talks the talk...can't manage to manage?!?!?

Becoming increasingly hard to defend these Jekyll and Hyde performances - 0-4 down at home and game over, in spite of the two goals we pulled back. I do however think Andy still has some credit/leeway based on last season's performances, and the fact that we were minutes away from a play-off final. I think LS makes a very good point here:

changing management team mid season with no pre-season, starting from scratch, potentially losing a chunk of our squad etc. etc. should be an absolute last resort if things are obviously going south. Whilst we've been frustratingly inconsistent (and pretty terrible when we've been bad), we are actually still in a reasonable league position, albeit having played a few more games than others around us. Seems like a season where a lot of teams are dropping points regularly, although we can't keep relying on this, and have to get our own house in order sooner rather than later. If there are players who aren't listening to tactics/instructions, and aren't regularly at 100% commitment/effort then we need to move them on and get in players who are and it's up to the manager to do that.

Getting bored of saying that now is the time for a reaction, but the reaction we need has to be a run of 5+ games where we don't roll over and effectively give up, not another 1 or 2 decent performances immediately followed by being 0-4 down again... here's hoping🙄

Interesting to note that other clubs make mid season changes.
