I don't watch anymore. Just like some didn't like previous managers I don't like this one.
Is that too hard for you to believe?
What is it you don't like about him?

You're right we've screwed up three L2 play off finals, although never conceded 4 before last year.
Doesn't matter how many the other team scores, If they score more, We lose, That's how football works. No one says MT is the "Messiah" but we're pretty happy with the job he's doing so far.

What is it you don't like about him?
How about his public treatment of Sweeney, Tillson, Ajose and Martin. Basically saying you're not good enough and I don't want to play you. Hardly conducive to a good atmosphere within the team when either you then have to back down and play them or they fit around doing nothing. Surely doing it in private and/or trying to get something out of them on the field is better, unless you have millions you can waste on wages.

For a club so keen on a youth setup I think the reliance on 30+ player like Attagana, Martin L, Law, Warren, McArdle is wrong. I have no doubt that had we not been in a COVID environment then he'd have replaced Moxey, Martin x2, Woodman, Warren etc... with other senior pros and not play the youngsters like Hartridge, Kite, Randall etc..

Think the atmosphere within the team is pretty good, Results would tell you that. Your second part, You have no idea what he would have done, Even before Covid hit this was always going to be a season of "Transition" MT explained that.

That's hilarious. You don't like MT so you don't watch City?!

We are destroying teams with a high press, ridiculously attacking football.... I meant WTF. You love Tisdale but he delivered year after year of turgid rubbish? Some right weirdos up City sometimes hahaha

See Sweeney and Ajose's performances when called upon as proof of this. Of course you'd have to watch City not Rovers to know that

You're not supporting the club, you're supporting the man that used to do the job and that being the case I'll happily provide you with the link you need...

Did Taylor really explain that the 20-21 season was going to be a season of transition back in Feb when COVID hit, when we were still in the 19/20 one.
