That if a manager decides to implement a passing game he'd check to see if most of the hopeless inadequates in his squad were actually capable of passing to their own side occasionally rather than teeing up the opposition with monotonous regularity.
I suppose fielding a midfield that appears to be capable of being out muscled by most under 12 sides in any local league doesn't help either. I'd be surprised if most of them had the strength to put their own kit on unaided judging by the first half tonight. |  | | |  |

Wow doesn't take long... 1 bad half after 2 wins (that included good passing play from all players) and suddenly all out players are bad and can't pass to save their life.
bad 45 minutes yes, how about wait till the second half before slating a team that one their first 2 games.. not all games are going to be great and we are playing against a team who know how to defend the way we play.
give Potter half time to fix things and sort other things out and let's see how it goes.
Most of our fans are impatient... | | | |

If the second half has the same statistics we will lose. |  | | |

Our main problem looks to be extreme inexperience.
they are trying things even if it hasn't worked on the previous 100 attempts. | |

I reckon if the second half has the same statistics that count we won’t lose. Know what you mean though.
As for Potter and his passing game, there’s only do much he can do so quickly. Especially when the board are selling players from underneath him but are to tight to fund the replacements he wants. He’s having to work with the hand he’s dealt with and doing remarkably well considering. Celina’s showing what could be possible if Potter is backed - he opens up the game and makes making space (for him or others) look so easy. Streets ahead of Carroll and Fulton even though he’s still raw. |  | | |

I said people would be lying in wait for a bad game.
Looks like patience has wore thin waiting so it’s this 0-0 away game to be the target by the looks of it.
Oh joy. |  |

I agree about inexperience, it was men against boys tonight. But don't these boys have guts.
B,ham bullies didn't overwhelm them particularly in the first half. I can see better things to come from this team.
A point well won. |  | | |

To be fair you are right Oh font of all knowledge football.
I've reassessed the performance given your obvious displeasure with anyone stating the obvious and here is my new assessement of the game:-
I'd have thought hat if a manager decides to implement a passing game he'd check to see if most of the hopeless inadequates in his squad were actually capable of passing to their own side occasionally rather than teeing up the opposition with monotonous regularity.
I suppose fielding a midfield that appears to be capable of being out muscled by most under 12 sides in any local league doesn't help either. I'd be surprised if most of them had the strength to put their own kit on unaided judging by the first half tonight.
Hooking two midfielders who struggled with the intensity and strength of the handshakes from the Birmingham mascots in the pre match line up with two substitutes who showed a bit of fight and the ability to actually find their own teamates helped by a gritty gutsy determined battling, if still poor quality second half from the rest of the team gained an unlikely much appreciated away point [Post edited 17 Aug 2018 21:55]

Great gutsy point.
Worst performance of the season but with such a young and new side you’re always going to get that. To have 7 points in the bag at this stage is a bonus.
We need a couple of new faces and there were a lot of errors today but they can be forgiven. I don’t think we’ll be challenging for promotion this year but that doesn’t matter... we aren’t in it for a quick fix |  | | |

Superb away point at a place where Welsh clubs have won 4 times in 50+ attempts. | |

I can’t see how that can be considered as anything other than an excellent, hard earned point. We have a team full of kids and strangers who are learning literally on the job in the second highest league in the country and a manager with a squad shorn of any experience. Give them a break mun. We also have owners seemingly completely unwilling to help the manager out by recruiting the experienced players everyone can see we so desperately need. |  |

Exactly.
He has stated that he would like to bring in players to support the ones he already has here and that includes a midfield player like Ryan Woods that is essential to the style of football he wants to play. | | | |

For team that has played three games, I think Potter is working hard to organised, the second half was not great but better than the first.
I'm prepared to give it time and see how we shape up in the next month.
Hopefully we will we have a couple of strong loans in the starting line up.
Because of the off field tawtage it's our only hope. |  |

GP can only work with the resources available at his disposal. As has been the case over the last few seasons, most of the fans can see the shortcomings in the squad, it now a case of the board realising the same thing and doing something about it. Great point all things considered. | | | |

Unfortunately it is not mate...in this instance.
Here is the root of my thinking... both you and Highjack have generally posted stuff that I disagree with but I've accepted that you both post from a position of belief in what you post, with an argument to back it up. However these days for the most part I think that your thinking has altered for the worst as you appear, to me at least, to be a club apologist whilst Highjack is generally consistent, if not a little more right wing. Highjack is still a good poster, you not so much (in my biased opinion) -my opinion of you can still go up or down, please seek advise of a financial professional etc, etc
But as I said in reply to your earlier comment, it was a good post. 
TL;DR Over the many, many years on this board I respected your different views...now not so much.
p.s. please keep posting though. | |

It's like as if they got Russell Grant to be a judge on celebrity fit club and he decided to do it in the style of Simon Cowell. [Post edited 18 Aug 2018 8:24]
