Well of course ... You're not going to let the game continue otherwise

First time I have EVER bailed mid-game in the entire history of the Mariners, by the way

Imagine continuing to think what we saw today was acceptable. Imagine having created such a culture at an entire organisation that today will be ignored in its entirety before starting to fluff us up to come along on Saturday.
This insipid excuse for a _franchise_ can f**k right off. Simply unacceptable .

That we're getting someone who can actually coach?

All they’d have to do is press us and we’d be done.

I'd love to be pressed by the women's team.

I actually thought the team tried hard all the way through but were given yet another fools errand to try and complete.
Pass out and through a high pressing victory at home with your two best players missing from your spine?
Just madness.
Ratllled and forced to constantly scramble we were made even more mistaken prone. And it put us under so much unnecessary pressure. Only when we stopped caring and their press receded at 5 goals up could our possession game find the space it needed.
Lunacy that Okon won’t use a supplementary tactic to complement and assist what otherwise becomes his predictable and futile plan A.
When a team wants to high press like that and is hammering you, there is one guaranteed way to either make them stop or pay for it. Not to mention it’s defensively so much safer. It’s been obvious since round 7 exactly what we were all about. With just a bit of flexibility things could have been very different provided we could have overcome the lack of quality upfront, our poor depth and missing coaching expertise in our attack.
Mistakes:
We were unbelievably porous in the mids and also Powell failed to hold up the ball when trying to get forward and that combined with MV’s quality pressing meant our defence were constantly caught too high and trying to run back to goal and we’re carved up,
Rose was ok on the ball but Victory just waltzed through our central midfield. Melling is mistake prone but at least he has mongrel and we’re 20 times harder to play through with him on than junior. But I thought we already knew that??
Positives:
The team showed they care imo.
I bloody like the angry as a cut snake Pain. More please.
That drubbing should put an end to a coach whose relentless pursuit of a system that is tactically simplistic has undone all his great early work and consigned the fans to yet another year of suffering.
It’s a shame. His recruiting was mostly excellent and he seemed to have so much passion at first
However backing your self is one thing, but adhering to your philosophy no matter the outcome and any and all evidence before you...
That’s just stubborn and or arrogant and foolish.
Paolo has to go.

New coach. New striker, plus a marquee with a contract extension for Wout, Baro and Tommy would do me for now.

He’s a journalist spacks. He can’t just say what he’s been told if hes been asked to be silent about it.
But he can still send out a tweet that offers a small if unclear Ray of hope when he knows the fans are badly bleeding and doesn’t want us all to slit our wrists.
(See what I did there
)Personally I’m grateful for anything I can get.
We need change badly. He’s implying it’s coming, love it. Get on it.
Meaningful change is an absolute minimum if the club is even remotely serious about paying back fans’ loyalty to date.
No more false dawns, no more double speak, no more deliberate under investment, no more coaches on training wheels, no more trashing of the Mariners’s culture, no more spin and mealy mouthed platitudes, no more failing to be accountable and most of all, no more taking fans for granted.
SM and MC I sincerely hope you are both taking notes.
