I'd suggest he moved closer towards the door tonight.

has something happened?

U23 match, we stuck out a very strong side, almost our fit & available "B" team, with Wague, Pele & a front 5 of Appiah, Johnson, Carvalho, Goncalves & Ansarifard up front.

We all know which department we've been struggling in lately & half people's alternative suggestion to fix our problems are listed in that 5 so it was basically an audition tonight, a genuine opportunity for a player to stake a place for Saturday &  Carvalho, (& Goncalves & Ansarifard) in particular failed the audition, showing both a lack of effort & quality.

The management was not impressed.

Some of these players have 11 games, some of them they will not play in, & some where they will be restricted to cameos, within which to convince the management that they are worth persevering with.

Each failed audition is a step closer to the exit & I'd suggest they will go flying out of it with Roy Keane's boot print on their arses if they ever drop below 100% effort levels again.

Oh dear.  'The management' (Kray twins?)  How can they not 'step it up' with the management watching on?

I can't see MoN/Keane putting up with a lack of effort or commitment.

That just won't do.

All change in the Summer..?
