Hemel latic Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 1 hour ago, TheBigDog said: Yup... time for the players to step up.. btw are Sheron and Norwood suspended for Saturday? Sheron yes, Norwood no. Norwood has already served a one match suspension for accumulating five bookings. It was the 2-0 win against York which gives us a 100% record this season without Norwood in the match day squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 21 hours ago, wiseowl said: I give up. I don't even know what gaslighting is and can't be bothered to look it up. ST was unbeaten in 6 - MM has lost 2 out of 4. I support MM and that needs no further clarification because I gave a lengthy response previously. You clearly enjoy being a drama queen. If only you would give up. Resorting to personal insults now, always a giveaway . As has been pointed out, you also drag a defeat in a Cup game away to a team a league higher into your statistical comparison. Well done. I also note that "regression" has now become "initial regression" which I guess at least acknowledges that MM's tenure as manager has barely started. Come back to me with your views on him when he's got, say, at least a dozen games under his belt. Might be a touch fairer, possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 1 hour ago, rudemedic said: I’m not ignoring it. I’m saying that you saying MM has lost 2 out of 4, is unfair, when you are counting a cup game away at a team in a higher league. MM has lost 1 in 3 in the league. That would still make your point, as he lost 1, and ST won a very similar game. But making conclusions from 6 or 3 or 4 games isn’t very wise and is unfair to both ST and MM. Effectively the point I was making, thanks and exactly why talk of "regressing" under MM is premature to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were the one jumping on me with your hyperbole. We essentially agree! Give MM some time - I was merely making observations along the way; as you do with footy. It's not exactly been "new manager bounce" has it? Again, we DID at least get that with ST. Shall we agree to draw a line under it now? Sorry if you genuinely felt insulted by the "drama queen" reference. My son has, in fact, told me that nowadays, it's politically frowned upon anyway and I should say, "drama Llama" apparently.

What I find frustrating - (and I’m not putting this at Mellons door because his record speaks for itself) is how the players can’t seemingly get themselves up to play for a new manager. Two of the four performances have been really flat, where they are aren’t even doing the basics. I’ve said it elsewhere- but to many are coasting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give two hoots what you call me, as you're the one playing the man and not the ball it says more about you. As does your difficulty in accepting that MM can't be judged after just three league games, whereas ST apparently can. Carry on wriggling.

You might be right, but the last three performances under him were a bit flat also.

oldham57 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I just feel the chemistry isn't right in the squad which is why the look flat. I thought norwood would be the "gazza" of the group and galvanise the team but he appears to be the one who's regretting the move to us the most, i dont think ive seen him smile yet. A couple of new faces and characters can change all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
