Mentality Issue

[northwalian dragon]

Mentality at a football club comes from leadership

The appointment of Keates was mentally damaging for the pride of the football club. I can't think of a single example of a manager returning to a club following the way Keates left us.

The opportunity was there to get rid of Darlington, get a new management team in and push forward with the fans behind them. We knew Keates would get no honeymoon period, we knew fans would boycott because of Keates, we knew the football would be awful, we knew we wouldn't score many or excite fans.

The mentality of the club is piss poor and we need new faces on the board to kick Keates out of the club and get the fans back on board

Pearson, yes. I find it hard to criticise him, as hes lost form due to carrying the team for 3 years. He needs some more leaders around him.

Sadly, Pearson is soldiering on while carrying an injury. I fully understand him "giving up" at times. Kennedy played well at Ebbsfleet so maybe it's time to rest Pearson and let him get fully fit for the Christmas/New Year period.

Agree. He will do himself a permanent injury, and is too slow whilst carrying it.

Give Pearson a break.

But we need a bully up front, and someone who can kick arse and play football in the woeful midfield.

Is this fact or what you think he is doing?

It’s fact. He’s having injections to play.

Well that explains his form then. Not convinced we should be doing this with him, play Kennedy and Lawlor until he's fit again. Its not like his form means we can't do without him.

Where's the injury? Is it in his throat? Seemed to have been carrying that injury for a while under Davies, Hughes and Barrow

So we have an abundance of centre backs but use one who s injured and can only, supposedly, play with injections. Good management again if true.

I disagree about Jennings. However he is on the decline like summerfield. Two years ago, they would have been amongst the conference best in their positions, but they are struggling now.
