Season over , effing joke

Post: # 1974537Post mr six o'clock »

Okay so it's season over and time to look for the positives heading into next year .
Each year you need improvement in the list to show your going somewhere
Sincs Roma and the Capt are the only quality players we've had this year , who maintained a professional standard needed to be successful. The rest of the team have either been bog average or gone backwards .
A couple of the kids look promising but F knows if they'll get better . We've had years of stagnation now so one wonders if they'll make it to become great players.
So the season is a massive fail .
Getting to the finals was a pass .
So hopefully a big clean out of all the dead wood is coming and we go to the draft and find some more talented kids . Also hope we don't trade for overpriced useless hacks

Is Sinclair bog average, or has he gone backwards?
Wilkie is well known for his non professional attitude.

I'm thinking Sincs = Sinclair, the first word in your quoted post. :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Ha! I read “since”. I blame the lack of a comma.
I’ll half apologise because I still think Wilkie goes OK.

Apologies for the poor grammar.
Your right about Wilkie and there's a few more like Howard , Crouch etc.. , but my point is I consider only Sinclair , Marshall and Steele as A graders . I would have liked Wilkie to have gone from a solid B to an A , but I don't think he has .
And of course I think most of the list has gone nowhere or backwards like Billings . 2 years ago I thought he was a solid B hopefully becoming an A grader . Now with injuries and form he's a C grader .

We still have a % of 100 to protect.
Post bye performances deserve honest explanation to members. Otherwise no closure.
Will Max get to 50 goals; will Jack Steele make a statement next week. What's going on with assistants.
Plenty to keep interest up for another week .
Then it's effin over and good riddance.

Gresham, Clark, Coffield, King, Bytel and Byrnes were my hopes for a big season. For various reasons none have delivered.

Wilke has probably dropped off a bit due to lack of assistance from midfield and ball coming in a lot easier for his opponent but he’s still very good.

Happy with Sincs, Roma, Steele, Wilkie, Howard, Crouch, Ross, Wood, Battle, Windhager, NWM, Owen, Sharman going forward
King, Higgins, Paton, Hill, Clark, Membrey - obviously keepers but disappointing season.
Billings, Gresh, Butler, Jones - trade if we can, perhaps some (diminishing) currency there.
Bytel and Byrnes - shown signs but looking less likely
decent backup/filler - webster, lienert, hayes, long
Ryder? seems a good influence but really fell away.
Coffield? Wait and see.
