Noble had a run of 1 point from 6 games last season and is no longer Wealdstone manager. Meakes had a run of 1 point from 6 games last season and is no longer manager. Jeffers should be dropped because he lost his man at a corner that time. Blocked shots are down to injuries. This is great fun Jeffers has been awful so far this season and that’s simply a fact - we’re simply not taking our chances which isn’t related to injuries but our 2nd half drop offs are down to injuries 👍 Careful slagging off one of the players, the clubs hierarchy won’t be impressed. |

What you on about matey? Is that why you’re scared to say anything in particular about our new signings… |

I have but his recent performances have been poor and needs calling out because you can’t get away with giving the ball away 14 times during a match, conceding one foul and having one shot in 90 and also refusing to make intelligent passes like to Jack James in the last minute when he’s wide open. He’s gotta do better and improve |

He even offered to go for a beer with you. The new signings? All fantastic, the XG has never been higher, if only the XG counted shots off target too! Also the successful crosses - never seen a city side with more! |

Possession lost in total
Charles - 39
Jeffers - 35
Our second half drop offs are due to injuries, and Jeffers makes more second half appearances than first half appearances, and our defence has conceded more goals than the xG suggests and that doesn't include the opposition's blocked shots, but the issue isso clearly in the final third, and we have one point from six games but a win in the FA Cup second qualifying round against a team that got promoted to this level last season and have a mere 4 points from 6 games (because of injuries and blocked shots) will make it all better
Comical Ali strikes again

Jeffers loses the ball once every 10 minutes, Charles loses it once every 12. But that's because of injuries isn't it

So we have a second half drop off and injuries are playing a massive factor and Jeffers has played more second half minutes than first half minutes, right?

Well first 3 games which were our best performances he was on the bench due to us having an almost fully-fit squad but now we have had to start him in the last 3 and he has had to play 2 full-90s - I don’t really get your point that much - I prefer him off the bench and that shows by the fact our one point this season we got he was on the bench… Not sure what you want us to do with 12 fit players |

I don't think anyone can argue that Jeffers has been great this season. I accept that Charles general play has been better but he still only got the 1 goal- as his Jeffers. The juries still out as to whether he can score enough at this level.
My point could be that we can't score and he is a proven goalscorer at this level. It's pretty clear that Noble always had his doubts about Jeffers. That got to effect his confidence as has been dropped for the start of the season. If we had a manager who really backed him and on the basis of his previous record gave him a good run to play his way into form I am sure we see the old Jeffers return
But here is another point. I know he is not the same money as he was but he still be one (of not our) best player. If Noble did not fancy him we should let him leave to free up budget in the summer. It makes no sense offering one of your largest contracts to a guy you see as a squad player

I think with Shaun he only has 1/2 seasons left in him at this level and I think people forget his age and the fact he’s turning 33 this season (only 1 year younger than partington) So i don’t think it’s fair on Shaun to expect the same outcome this year but I would love for him to prove me wrong. Also with his age I don’t agree with the argument that we should build a team around him as it’s not future-proof |

Partington is more than two years older than Jeffers
Jeffers isn't turning 33 for another 7 months

You can’t always expect the same level quality every year - the league gets harder and Jeffers quality will plateau at this point in his career - you can’t expect Shaun to do it 4 seasons in a row because if he could do that he certainly wouldn’t still be with us… |

Let's worry about avoiding relegation this season and take it from their. I don't know Jeffers (or any of the other players) but he looks like he takes care of himself, his game never been built around extreme pace and I am sure if he can still be effective for some time. |

Hi
As a newer fan of the last 2 seasons I see a couple of things.
Midfield is very light and seems to spend a lot of time passing left to right, with limited attack.
Partington consistently stops the ball and movement. He seems to be making errors in games this season.
Listening to the manager after yesterdays game, he recognised that change is needed, but spoke as if he was stumped.

Noble always comes across in his post match interviews like that, but what he's like otherwise, l don't know. He certainly gives the impression of a man floundering in the job in his post match interviews and one of either waiting to be relieved of his duties or one of eventually having enough of the job and packing it in |

Looking ahead, if we lose the next 5 or 6 matches, getting beat in the FA Cup in that spell as well, I'd say there would have to be changes then, for sure.
That for me would be the catalyst for a change of manager.
At the moment Noble is treading on thin ice, a manager with the record he has had, at another Club, might've gone by now
