Hard to disagree overall. My issue was folk putting all the blame on the players for our current malaise and calling them all shite. They’re not. But if we keep on this downhill trend how do we attract the upgrades we need to challenge the top? Guess comes down to £’s but manager must count too.

Which then begs the question why? Just coincidence, how they are being led or time to adjust to a new system? My fear is it’s how they are being led but hoping it’s just down to adjustment.

💯 agree with all of this 👍I find the whole ‘the players aren’t good enough’ argument very baffling.

Unfortunately not a new phenomenon. Someone I knew, who watches Yeovil every week, went to WHL and could not believe how quickly some of the crowd got on players back and were booing them. He just found it unreal.

I know. I’m the same. I want hope. But it’s the hope that kills you 😳😀

Do you think the players have no trust in the manager/system/style or they are simply broken?
November 30, 2025 at 7:56 AM
I feel we have no identity or clarity on the pitch and this constant changing of formation and style is not working. Surely some structure should be in place by now? Sorry, but I’m just not sure he’s cut out for it. Would love to be wrong.

Anyways #coys #stickitinthef@&ingmixer and let’s hope someone at the club has the cojones to to find a maverick genius who likes to play attacking football. Not sure where you’d find one of them though 🤔😳
November 30, 2025 at 7:08 AM
And I see a lot of comments saying the players are 💩. There’s an element of that but it’s more about how they are being set up to play and the messages they are getting. Most of the players if you look at them individually are not bad. Just when they get out on the pitch as a team with no identity 😵‍💫
November 30, 2025 at 7:04 AM
And the players don’t seem to know what’s required of them* and the results are meh. We need some identity and a way of playing, not just confusion and this lack of clarity.
* apart from win your duels 😬

He’d be dreadful.
November 29, 2025 at 10:10 PM
Unsurprisingly I’m no longer unreasonably excited, rather reasonably deflated. It’s the hope that kills you. Or maybe with Spurs it’s the reality 9 times out of 10 🙁
November 29, 2025 at 8:16 PM
I’m more hoping (against all reasonable expectations) that he picks a team that is exciting and attack first and not one that is boring and defence first 😀

It’ll keep the oppo on their toes if they can’t work out how we’re lining up…
November 26, 2025 at 7:06 PM
Just put it in the f#@king mixer. It’s just who we are. Proper Football Men.
November 26, 2025 at 7:05 PM
He’s a Proper Football Man. That’s what all the Proper Football Men keep telling us we need. A Proper Football Man. None of this namby pamby tippy toppy stuff playing out from the back. Just put it in the f@£king mixer. Boom 💥

(NB FYI my level of sarcasm is off the scale)
November 26, 2025 at 1:51 PM
I know. But when we’re good we were great and I can’t see Frank ever hitting those heights. Hey ho, I know that ship has sailed but still makes me sad. Maybe I’m holding onto the idea rather than the reality but the reality of Frank is 😱

💯

Our current woes just makes me feel worse about what happened with Ange…
November 24, 2025 at 1:36 PM
😀

Is that the something needs to change part after only a few months? Cos I agree, ☝️ t’s really disappointing.

Or the Ange bit? It’s just where my heart is this morning. I like Ange, I liked his attitude and his bravery. And the fact we won something.

I just feel meh towards Frank currently.
November 24, 2025 at 7:34 AM
An awful lot of what he says is just totally disingenuous eg This whole we’re going to be brave, super aggressive etc etc and then the exact opposite happens.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy but he’s either way out of his depth or his approach to football is the antithesis of Spurs 🤷‍♂️

And the rest 😀
