2025/26 Season

[Norbs]

Lol I didn't.

Has there ever been a more anonymous AM.

And to be that anonymous behind such an uncharismatic manager

[Exiled_red]

Something isn't right in the dressing room this season, the fact that Jones and Robbo two players who have been with us through it all were willing to leave mid season, the fallout with Salah late last year and the comments from MacAllister suggest a lack of harmony.

The manager is cold. No hugs. Hanging players out to dry. He's reaping what he sows.

Feels like more than that to me. I don't think warmth is automatically mandatory in a manager, if they've got the tactical nous

But this feels like there are much bigger problems

[Scratch]

I just think they ( Robbo/Jones) feel that they are first team players, and not sub options, so want to go somewhere where they will be first choice. Doesn't have to be anything sinister.

Mid season? It's odd.

Maybe these players are just finding it hard to adapt to a different managerial/coaching style?

Also those two players in particular were known to be very close to Jota.

MacAllister apparantly has had his own off pitch legal issues this season along with having a new kid with his partner so might be he is well off the pace because of those things.

Nowt odd about that, they either get a move in this window or its another half a season playing minor cup games and hoping to get on as a sub.

He made comments about the club changing too much in the summer but preferred to keep details to himself

I've noticed a few things this season. Aside from us being ****, the commentators dont seem to refer to certain things the same and I'm wondering if arsenal has anything to do with it. Before you would hear comments about the keeper being the most protected person ont he field if they had been fouled during a corner and free kick given. Saw it often, heard it often. Now with arsenal fouling and impeding the keepers at will I dont hear them saying this and other teams have been doing it. Same goes for players going down easy. Before it would be oh we dont like to see that sort of thing etcetc. Now its all any slight contact and the player will go down, but more in a kind of positive thing, again with arsenal flopping non stop in every game like dying fish. Now I'm seeing way more diving everywhere. I curse that we stay on our feet so much while everyone else brings their sleeping bags.

I watched the highlights of our U18’s against Derby on the weekend & one of their strikers got 2, yes 2 yellow cards for diving which was refreshing to see a Ref with the guts to do it.

[vlahka]

Same they dont do it for the main team.
