When we put performances like that last season…. 18:47 - Oct 2 with 3864 views | itfcjoe | ….we were told it was the players and it wouldn’t happen when we get new ones in. When we put in performances earlier in the season like that we were told it wouldn’t again when Samy Morsy was in the side…. …and yet we still put in nothing performances when out battled and out thought. Somethings not right here, and it hasn’t been for a long time |  |

The glaring issue is a supportive/challenging number 2. I also question the quality of the backroom staff. On the pitch we cannot complain about that squad. |  |

the quality of the backroom staff is on par with The Dog and Duck. |  | |  |

Maybe the modern foreign approach maybe a better choice. So many different coaches/managers in Europe. |  | |  |

I was thinking ...three?!?!?! I had completely blocked Lambert's reign out... |  |

You cannot blame the managers in 100%. The players have their responsibilities too. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

We don’t adjust in game to anything from what I see, when the game is getting away from us we have no real ability to wrestle it back. Is it an arrogance that we are good so things will come good? Or a collective lack of in game nous - which I find hard to believe. Ultimately though, the manager will be gone soon if it continues for much longer |  |

Even Lambert got a couple of unbeaten runs out of those sad sacks. This time two years ago we were unbetaten in 11 with the same sad sacks. Last season we'd only lost two by this stage(although the wheels were definitely loose there). 'It's all the fault of the players' was always something of a smokescreen.

Poor Paul Cook. Two whole squads of players that wouldn't play for him. |  |

Poor players poor souls !!! Hurst, Lambert and Cook were bad for them whereas the players were fine weren't they? [Post edited 2 Oct 2021 19:09]

When we put performances like that last season…. on 19:09 - Oct 2 with 2607 views | N2_Blue | Have to agree Joe. Something isn't right, but you could say that over the last 6 years and at least 3 managers. What is it? why is the club seemingly cursed whatever we do. We have new owners, Evans era has gone but nothing has changed. I'm seriously concerned a new manager comes in and not a lot changes...but I've realised Cook isn't going to be the manager here i thought he would be. |  |

So you didn’t see the tactical change midweek that led to us getting our 3rd, 4th and 5th? |  | |  |

Of course not. It's just that Cook doesn't appear to be, either. |  |

Well I would say Doncaster were getting a slight grip on the game prior to the change, threatening a goal back to change the dynamics of the game until Cook made the tweak. So to suggest that he doesn’t react to anything just isn’t true. |  | |  |

This is a good point - I thought it was Celina on the wing and Fraser playing deeper alongside Morsy and Evans that triggered the best spell of football we've seen from a Cook team - so why not keep it going? |  | |  |

If you say :'of course not' then stop excusing those perennial failures from last season who didn't turn up for Hurst, Lambert and Cook. Those so called professional players didn't put any fight in order to save us from the relegation nor did they show the drive to get the club back to the Champ. Of course Cook doesn't seem to do a right job but the players have their responsibilites too. |  | |  |

So weird that you're still so hung up on a bunch of players who aren't even at the club anymore. |  |

When we put performances like that last season…. on 19:34 - Oct 2 with 2331 views | Steve_M | Cook has done nothing positive since he’s been here; the lack of coaching experience looks more glaring by the match. We can cling to isolated patches of play - our goal today was lovely - but it’s nowhere near enough. |  |

Not sure the results against Lincoln, Sheffield Wednesday or Doncaster screamed ‘lack of coaching experience’. |  | |  |

“More glaring by the match” isn’t supported by our 3 most recent league games prior to today being largely positive. |  | |  |
