I've been criticising Farrell most of the year. He has received way too many undeserved credits. So indecisive, uncompetitive at ground level & in the air, rarely tackles & his much lauded kicking has been very inconsistent. Drew was pedestrian this year & we need to find a defensive midfielder to replace him. Try him in the backlines.
It will be very interesting if the poor one on one work of a Farrell or a Byrne-Jones will continually allow them to keep their jobs under Carr.
 
Just seems to me you're making a big deal of nothing. Let Carrs actions from now do the talking not some token speech at Hinkley love in. There's probably nothing he could say at this point to a jaded supporter base that already know what the problems were. He's not going to stand up there and divulge his game plan on a white board at the B@F.
On its own you’re probably right, it isnt that big a deal, but when you just add it to a million other little (and not so little) things the club gets wrong it becomes a big deal.

It would have been so easy (in fact just simple common sense) to have the Ken, Davies, Ratkins wankfest early in the night, do a few awards and then put a few mins aside to have the new coach signify a new era has started and that valuable lessons of the 2025 disaster have been learnt (e.g having the players actually do a preseason this year) etc. If Carr is the real deal I’m sure there would be excerpts from that speech the club could promote to do membership, promote hope etc.

I mean the card on my auto-renewal has expired so I’ve had numerous calls and messages from the club to I presume update for the next auto-renewal, but at the moment I have no reason to think 2026 will be any different. I’m sure there are plenty of others in the same boat who are considering whether to renew for next year, or even re-attract the countless members who became disengaged at the end of the Hinkley era. The B&F would have been the perfect opportunity to hear from the new coach and promote that push.

Instead we got nothing except another example of those running the club have no idea.

Anyway now I fear I am actually sliding into ‘get a grip’ territory so I’ll leave it at that.
