GrahamC Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Just been reminded this is the game they called off in dubious circumstances when Wycombe were absolutely flying under Ainsworth. “Waterlogged” pitch about a day & a bit before the game was due to be played & a decent weather forecast.

Mayes86 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Jesus how bad is their defending, didn’t get near the Wycombe players and the few times they could clear the ball it went straight back to a Wycombe player. Every single time I watch the goals they concede it’s 99% of the time down to awful goalkeeping or defending. With the amount of mates he has coaching you’d think one of them could teach them how to defend.

Open End Numb Legs Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I don't think I can ever recall a coach of any sport belittling one of their players international prospects. That is very odd. I have seen similar behaviour at work where there might be talented individuals in a team, the manager sees them as a threat to his standing in the wider company so he criticises some aspect of their work to try and re establish the gap to his authority. That is the only thing I can see going on here. It actually shows a lack of self belief by the manager, scared of others being more popular or more respected. This behaviour has the reverse effect, as with my ex boss everyone eventually hates him as they cotton on to his ways and develop a lack of trust.
