Are there any Warnock type motivator managers out there ?
It went tits up with mad mick in the end but you catch my drift ?
I don't think there's an issue with motivation. It is blindingly obvious that we haven't got enough ability to break teams down. It's been the way all season. We didn't deserve to lose today in my opinion but luck, as with the deflection, went against us. Other times it goes for us. That's football.
I reckon O'Dowda is no more than a reasonable wide man at this level. He looks good because of the dross around him. We haven't got a striker capable of getting into double figures. We haven't got wingers who can cross the ball or forwards to get on the end of them. When Mark Harris is described as being quick, you know that the rest of the attack has no pace. We are unable to get behind defences.
26 games in and we've got the 6th worst scoring attack in the bottom 3 divisions. That's not curable by giving players a kick up the arse. There's no scope for changing tactics and going more direct as there's no height in the side or pace.

I think if we got hold of a manager that could change things around and get us playing as a unit we could crawl our selves over the line
Re: Are there any Warnock type motivator managers out there ?
I think you are probably right Eric, but when he’s hauling Robinson off when we need a goal, or starting with the likes of Whyte over Philogene, it’s no wonder the players stop giving a shit. The basic expectation should be putting your best players on the pitch and putting them in a position to succeed.
Everything Hudson does reeks of desperation and a lack of any clue, he’s not up to managing at this level right now. It’s a harsh truth but what decisions has he got right? What has he changed around at half time or during a game that has worked? When has he made changes that led us to fix a problem in the previous game or made us look better or more like scoring? It’s just not good enough, neither are the players but the manager unfortunately is the quick fix.
