Kewell's learning his trade, as we should expect. But my concern apart from the squad strength and lack of strikers, is that he's messing about with formations and hasn't settled on one yet. Also that the defence is making it up as they go along - they're not drilled. Who would have guessed that opposition players need to be marked when balls are crossed into the box? Not me guv.

How much grace is he given before it only becomes about getting results...?
He clearly & bravely wants to find someone who can play in the catenaccio style, a faux centre-back who initiates counter attacks, progressive but needs the right skill-set and I'm not sure who else he can try..? it hasn't worked so far and we won't be signing Mats Hummel anytime soon.
Camara has done enough to get a start, to not even include him on the bench on Saturday is looking foolish and when coupled with the kamikaze decision to withdrawn Enzio it verges on the reckless.
I'm all for giving a Manager time to get settled in, but would be happier if we were getting a few answers and not just raising more questions.
It's obvious Kewell and Feeney are having to use the start of the season as an extended pre season.They have no more the half a dozen games to bed in before they find themselves giving their Turkish masters food for thought.
The team he played last night was a joke, there is no feel good factor around the club that there was last year, Under DD last year we went to Wolves played almost our strongest side and should of got something out they game, why didn't HK do something similar? Kewell has put himself under big pressure from fans just 2 games in with some of the decisions he has made. 3 points saturday and of course everyone will forget about last night, those that were not there anyway, thats the nature of football, however another poor performance and then somehow 3 games in HK will be struggling

Alot of those that were not there but were watching SSN last night (the locals who only tag on to big clubs in the main) probably will not be overly impressed whatever we do at Cheltenham but I believe they would have been if we had given a half decent performance last night. And as for the other poster saying its all about staying in the league, so you are for giving up on any cup revenue/profile/feel good factor and resting your first team after one match? I suspect many spent quite a bit last night and I know this is naive but they should have been told we were treating the game as a reserve fixture, as we should have been told for the Brighton and Bognor friendlies?
Sending a team out to keep the scoreline down has a negative psychological impact which drains confidence. Much like asking a young lad to replace Enzio on Saturday. HK needs to give a bit more thought to the man-management aspect.
an insult to fans that travelled all 133 of them. If I had id demand my money back from the club.
As was the fact that the local train station was closed. So I had to get a cab. Took a friend who felt bad for us. I feel worse for the players -such a tonking must be bad for their morale

i think youve taken all this exceptionally well had i travelled i would still probably be there (locked up) for giving half brained Harry a piece of my mind. He hasnt explained the nine changes and that shows he either has contempt for fans or he is even thicker than i thought. PSF are over WTF are they for if not tinkering. This greatest of all football clubs is billions bigger than a jumped up ex footballer playing with the toys he has recently been gifted.
If he is already trying to keep the camp happy he is as thick as a concrete block and his brain is probably filled with cement too. Ive seen absolutely nothing to suggest this ex footballer has any more idea of managing any football team than my Granny, the milkman, my cleaner or a 15 year old that skipped 10 years of school and only ever played ping pong never football.
Mickf is absolutely correct sayi g fans shouldve been told the club had no intention of competing last night. Im disgusted the way fans were conned and cheated into believing we would try and win the match. No way on earth were thecteam fielded good enough for league two never mind two leagues higher. It absolutely stinks and Im very angry!
never mind the urinal the way Harry is going about things we arent just peeing in the wind we are breakung wind at it stinks the contempt he clearly has for fans. No explanation. No apology. Spineless at least the dummy once apologised even if it was far from sincere.
Who gave Sanoh a two-year deal? He looked awful last night and has no attributes for a winger - not particularly quick or agile and his first touch is crap as well. Lewis didn't offer much either, McNerney looked shaky in the first half too, whilst Kaby continually gave the ball away. Such a disjointed display.
People need to wake up and smell the coffee. Selim hasn't got a clue what he's doing. He was a marketing man at Coral. That does not make you qualified to make signings for a football club. 3 year deal for TV as well. Mindless. The bloke needs to realise this isn't football manger.
Well summed up and reflects the views in the bar before and half time. Some people still in denial at what is happening, and excusing decisions such as subbing Enzio as maybe he had a knock. If that was the case I'm sure it would have come up in the interviews afterwards and he certainly wouldn't have been one of the few chosen to play a few days later once the game was well and truly lost. What happens next is anyone's guess. One thing is for sure - It's all about Harry

Exactly. With Selim and Harry in charge people need to realise we are doomed.
