Does anyone recall that goal where we got caught upfield with Cardines hopelessly out of position and a far post opponent left completely unmarked? I remember thinking at the time, that’s odd and very slack. Sadly, it turned it to be the blueprint for our season under Sage.
That pre season goal against Fulham
- Topic starter MarkA333
- Start date
The game against Bromley where we got spanked. The game against Freiburg when we played so poorly Sage essentially said he’d go back to Glasnerball as the team weren’t ready.
At the time you felt like Sage hadn’t had time with the first team…… roll on a few months and I think we look even worse.
It’s like we play a low block with a high press…… midfield 2 are completely exposed and there just doesn’t seem any tactical plan.

Never mind, super Sean with his two banks of four who won’t cross the half way line will be here to the rescue soon
It is some trick to make the good players worse. And agreed, the nonchalence doesnt help him in my eyes.

I honestly think he’s a dead man walking, SP is just waiting until the next international break, get two tough games out of the way spurs and Liverpool and then pull the trigger

It's an excellent point. Many times people say the friendlies are meaningless. And of course often that is right. But these were a very good indicator of the problems to come. At the time I'd assumed they were part of the process of improvement as the squad came together under a new coach. But that hasn't happened and every opposition manager is laughing their arse off about how easy it is to play against us.

How is Cardines doing? A new manager coming in may just need him soon unless our two wingback options can play more defensively under him?

Well Bristol City got battered 5-0 today
The good news is that Cardines played but obviously doing so well that he was on the right of the attacking midfielders / front four - not in defence - and wasn't taken off - so he's clearly proven himself as an attacking threat. But then again they just got battered 5-0.
Their manager is going to be sacked soon of course if this sort of thing continues
