Thread | We just came back
at 07:43 30 Oct 2022
We just came back from being two goals down twice in a game and we drew. We felt terrific. We just lost two 2-goal leads and only drew the game. We felt distraught. In both cases we drew. Perspective guys and gals.
It's football. We're being talked about by football fans all over the country. After watching about 1500 Town games this one makes the memorable top 50. |

Thread | Three left backs so we play Donacien
at 21:47 7 Dec 2021
Why play our best right back out of position. Both full backs woeful. Both wingers woeful. Evans useless. Morsy at half speed. Fraser too. No cohesion. No fight. Almost like the Cook-bought players were making a point.
May be PC was getting more out of this lot than others will for a bit. Lots of sulky footballers out there tonight.
Worrying times. |

Thread | Fit the players to the system or the

Fit the players to the system or the system to the players?
That's always been the conundrum.
PC wants to play 4231. He doesn't seemingly ever worry about the opposition. We cried out for years for managers to do their own thing and not set up to just stifle the other team.
MM kept us in the Championship by setting up teams to negate the opposition. We ground out draws and the odd turgid win. It was deadly dull.
Now we have the opposite. An almost gung-ho mentality that says "we're better than a well organised Championship honed team like Rotherham".
Well we aren't.
But what's the answer? Go back to setting up to stifle the other team - we might have ground out a draw at Sunderland then; and a draw last night. Is that what we want (again) ?
The club threw out virtually the entire playing deck in the close season. We then picked up a whole host of players - some we planned to get; others just fell in our laps - Morsy, Celina, Aluko, Edwards, - none, I suggest ,we went out to get.
So now we have a manager who wants to ignore the oppostion, knows exactly how he wants to play, and yet, sadly and a tad unfortunately, cannot yet find the perfect 11 to choose from.
Mick Mills said it last night. By now PC should know the best 9 or 10 in his matchday squad. The problem seems to come in the players that form part of the three that play behind the striker - any permutation from Selina, Burns, Aluko, Edwards, Chaplin, Harper even. Can you truly decide. Paul Cook can't. |

Be patient guys and gals. The patient is in rehab having had several transplants and a transfusion of new blood. He needs proper support and calm assurance.
Get well soon ITFC. |
