Scored a good number of goals for Vics, but clearly not up to NPL standard. Too lightweight and his passing was awful.Wonder if well be announcing anyone before Chase.
Squad is looking very thin...
All that said though, the lack of or poor recruitment from the previous management has left the squad in the state it is in. If we do go down this year, it’s on their heads on not DC’s.
08/11 - Gobo step down.think it's very unfair to continue blaming the previous managers when they have now been gone for over 2 months and we are yet to win again since Widnes.
The inconsistencies that carries over from the previous season, the lack of recruitment and replacing of key players that we lost. Up until GoBo left we had Irlam and Green, who between them had scored 5 of our goals this season. Both left under GoBo’s stewardship, and adequate striker wasn’t brought in, Max didn’t threaten the opposition at all when playing as a striker, we had no outlet like we Dior when we had irlam. Ultimately DC has been left with a sub standard squad, bereft of confidence and full of injuries and you expect him to pull results out of his backside immediately? It just doesn’t happen like that, anyone with an ounce of footballing knowledge can see the performances overall have improved and with the players brought in by DC that have improved the squad have given us that little bit of hope that we may be able to survive this season. We look to have a little bit of threat going forward now instead of having nothing at all. You have bare in mind, DC has had this job for a month and in that time he’s had suspensions to deal with, injuries to key players but what I’m sure of is he is actively trying to improve the squad in both ability and performance. If players don’t want to be at the club going back to badgers comment about Jamie Nicholson, don’t be here, go somewhere else. I want players who are going to fight for the club, fight for the badge. End of, I don’t care if they fit the club ethos, if they perform and they put their bodies on the line, get them in. Get a real squad unity going where the lads will fight for each other.After the Widnes game, we had won 4/6. We then lost two games in Leek & Clitheroe that we were probably expected to lose.
We'd taken 12 points from 24 (Won 4, Lost 4). Despite the inconsistency, we were still picking up points.
I think it's very unfair to continue blaming the previous managers when they have now been gone for over 2 months and we are yet to win again since Widnes.
Good, another journeyman with no end productWell, Jamal has gone as well now.
I personally think that is down to being played out of position, since we brought him in he was playing either on the wing or a very deep 10 and imo it was obvious that he should have been our number 9 with Max playing just behind or alongside him at 10, I think Matty is another in a fairly long list of players that we have wasted and not got the best out of because we don't play to their strengthsScored a good number of goals for Vics, but clearly not up to NPL standard. Too lightweight and his passing was awful.
So no major loss, but yes, leaves an already paper thin squad looking even more threadbare- unless we get a few of our injured players back of course!
One of our better players I thought this season tbhGood, another journeyman with no end product
Disagree, Josh. Jamal offered no end product, either with assists or goals. He had a tenancy to be knocked off the ball too easily. He was no where near as good as some wingers that we have had in the past. No great loss in my opinion.One of our better players I thought this season tbh
Problem is that by the time he's been able to do that we're likely going to be in the midlands league and then we're probably then going to have to do another rebuild because players won't be able to commit to the travel so we'll probably need more midlands based playersI don’t think Jamal is any great loss either. He was a little lightweight, had no end product and yes a bit of a journeyman with the number of clubs he’s been at.
I think it’s a good thing that we’re seeing players move on. As others have said, many of the squad is not good enough and that is reflected in our league position. Slowly but surely Damian is building his own team with the likes of Fagan, Bianga and the new forward Chakwana coming in.
