Fourth unacceptable? That would be our highest finish in this league and you think it's unacceptable? Like I've said before, you are a disgrace.

4th is Bunkum in this League.

Mccallum should have been off at half time, dallas upfront, jez on left, colclough on right and mandy thru middle, and get the ball forward fast, hit them with pace, but no, why use 1 pass when you can use.. 10-15..

Exactly. But there are STILL those who prefer a big man up front. Even though the pair we have wouldn’t make a player between them.

Listening to Cook and Webb’s recent interviews, it was totally unacceptable to them before today.

It was a disappointment not unacceptable. They want third.

Sorry has the season finished?

Mccallum shouldn't have started as he cant play on Monday, Dallas should have been down the middle with Colclough and Dobra supporting him. Why does Cook play the same old tactics every week no ma[size=2]tter what and why bring Jez on ith 3mins of normal time to play. King was aweful again Sheckleford was unlucky to lose his place. Why hasn't Akinola figured in the squad? Banks has been playing well but he tends to slow us dow too much in midfield as was the case at Maidenhead. As for Fitzsimmons that was his worst game ever for Town today, he has been lucky when losing possession twice in each game against Maidenhead and Wrexham. He was lucky to get away with one in the 1st half today but got well and truely spanked 2nd half. Its great when the keeper plays the sweeper role well but it always gives me kittens. Cook turned on the fans again when a couple to his left gave him some verbal and kept shouting at them to F off. that woke me up because he had no right at abusing the fans when no one was abusing any of the players, I told him to come and sit at the side of me if he thought we was playing well.I hope he's not blaming that inept performance on the fans today all 7500 Blues fans who bothered to turn up who were very patient. Has he got the nouse to get us back on track for 3rd place? we must up the pace and get stuck in if we are to do so starting at Daggers who have won away at BW 1-0 today. Come on players show us that you have the balls for the fight ahead, Woking play Notts. next week.

You cannot blame Cook for decisions made by players in game time.

After we scored you could see us sit back and York gradually get back in the game.

I don't understand all the fuss about Dallas, I'm all for giving time for players to settle into a team but we don't have that luxury. He is easily knocked off the ball, runs into blind alleys and can't make a pass to save his life.

Fitzsimons has been pretty reasonable but today made two bad decisions, one he got away with, the second gave them the lead.

Macallum is next to useless.

Dobra for me is the only one who shows any fight and grit, the rest are powderpuffs.

Rant over

[DIFH]

Where was Cookball today? What is Cook Ball ?

Why bring Jez on with 3 minutes remaining when you need 2 goals.

No sharpe play, just one paced through out.

We never tried running direct down the middle.

No crosses from the flanks in play because we have no Ariel threat.

How to beat the high press.

And then Fitz who didn’t learn his lesson but kept coming out of his area down the sides leaving the goal open, lucky the ref blew for a foul when York tried to lob into an open goal.

York didn’t win today we handed it on a plate.

Don’t agree with this anti Cook horseshit but as the defence council, you’ve just made a bluddy good case for the prosecuting Cook

He signed Macallum and Dallas! Fitzsimons has clearly been given license to do what he does and then you suggest that everyone else he selects is powder puff except Dobra

I’m starting to agree with Walton after that defence.

I’ve just listened to his interview. Took less than 90 seconds for criticising the fans. Then, weirdly moans about the imbalance. The elephant in the room is that he wants to play a system where he hasn’t got an effective front man and is trying to fit others in around that. Perhaps he should be asked ‘if you are concerned about the imbalance why do you persist with the same formation?’

We shall see. Our players are weak mentally and physically.

[BLUE SINCE 62]

Cook has lost the plot it seams.

He brings in a striker who is worse than the one we have, whats that all about?
He has a talented midfield player who is on loan from a Premiership team, and does'nt play him , whats that all about?
We are crying out for a striker who can scare teams with pace and strength, wait a minute we had one of those.

Cook can't hide behind the (its not my team) old chesnut anymore, it is his team and his tactics and there just not good enough. With the backing he has had and the size of the squad we should be in a strong third place, Notts County are ripping teams apart why are'nt we?

If your a good manager you should be able to manage in any league, Im begining to think Cook can't manage in this league, he can't adapt to how you have to play in this league.

Perhaps we have a lame horse as a manager and its time to be kind and put him out of his misery, and bring in a younger replacement who would love the chance to prove what they can do.

Seem to remember we tried that with a certain James Rowe. Can we afford to spend on yet another manager who no doubt will want to bring his own players ?

Very disappointed in McCallum he's dropped off since coming here ,and Dallas is a striker whose never had any difficulty in scoring everywhere else he's been ,until playing for cook football,his dinosaur tactics are showing more and more

McCallum hasn’t dropped off, more like going through the motions.

We do seem to turn good strikers into bad ones. I blame the Manager with his formation its as simple as that.

i may be wrong but i'm sure you said season over when we lost the 3 in a row back in the autumn and yet here we are still with a very good chance of promotion, today we were dreadful i'll give you that and it was really dissapointing. need a quick reaction to regain the confidence we'd built up recently.

I probably did say that. Today is a disaster really. Big game big crowd and they perform like that.
