Excuses, excuses

[Pieman]

We had one striker against two big quick centre backs. That was it. The two other so called strikers were wide midfielders with two defensive midfielders and 5 at the back.

"If we had scored a goal early on it would have been a different game; they would have to come out and open up a little bit more"

It was this comment that sticks out, and shows he has no ability to change tactics as the match progresses..........if we'd scored an early goal?? Mr keates we never had a shot in 90mins never mind score an early goal and he did absolutely nothing to change that.

Funny that as Radio Solent felt that their club should have attacked and gave the impression that a win would have been on the cards - Whoever they are they talk a good game

Keates is full of excuses but never has any solutions.

I do feel some sympathy, you never pick up anyone decent in January. Mangan is the only one that comes to mind. If they’re good clubs won’t want to sell. You’ve almost got to pay over their worth, take a chance on someone failing at another club hoping you’ll turn him around or bring in a kid on loan.

It most certainly was not a 3-4-3. It was a 5-4-1. Jarvis and K-D were playing behind Ponticelli, and carrington and Thomson were playing full back.

If you want to be picky 5-2-2-1.

Not being picky but it was for sure 5-2-2-1

Pay the money then. We have tried the other options, look where that got us

This was my favourite

“ Depending on how you want to look at it, you can say we have got one up top but when we are breaking, we have got three up top”

This is how I look at it Dean. You are setting up at home to play on the break? Against Eastleigh? Really. 7 defensive players and a keeper?

Now that is mind blowing. No wonder people didn’t want to see him back with that style of football

And still some defend Keates, he’s a complete wet wipe.
