If Mclaren did walk or was sacked it would be someone who is currently out of work but I'd go for Sven with Mclaren staying on as his number 2.

Darlow Janmaat. Mbemba. Lascelles. Mbabu Sissoko. Anita. Gini. Colback. Thauvin. Mitro

Too many dinosaurs with out of date ideas.

Farmer faced cunt.

I predict we won't have 1 shot at goal and Cisse will be offside 26 times.

Pardew has changed everything at this club. Before he came a manager was expected to make an impact regardless of his backing in the market, or otherwise. Since Pardew managers apparently have a free pass because the squad isn't great. He's shown absolutely f***ing nothing in 6 months in the job, nothing. And I said this about Pardew tbf. And for all the s*** players in the squad he still has Sissoko, Mitrovic, Perez, Wijnaldum, Janmaat, Mbemba and arguably a couple more who aren't utter garbage. He's coaxed one performance out of them the entire season, one, and we were even the worst team for most of that game. You do realise Keegan has just said this, don't you? Yes I saw that, so f***? It's proof of what I'm saying, Keegan coached improvement he didn't have to buy it from the off. The squad is poor but it's simply not 2 wins from 13 poor like. The manager is s*** and that shows. I don't know the exact figures, but when he came to start with he survived by the skin of his teeth (which he recognises in the statement) and his second time took a while for his first win. As good as the bloke is, he's not a magician Was 8-10 games before we won 2nd time iirc but you could see signs of improvement. First time the club had no money to buy their way out so he did on the training pitch. This is the point I'm making. But that's no different. We've seen signs of improvement this time, then its disappeared. As for his first time (and I should be able to remember as I was going then), I'm pretty sure we finished 5 bottom and believe me there wasn't a massive improvement in performances as Keegan recognises. I've seen almost nothing personally. And regardless of what Keegan said, just like Pardew used to cry about, McClaren is managing a squad of international players. A better manager, like Keegan, gets more out of this squad. That's the start and end of it imo. Agree.

Was wondering which section of the 'give a shit' column Janmaat comes under?

Probably get more respect off the players than farmerface.

Still think we'll get beat with 12 players on the pitch.

Howay then. Didn't think this thread would be making a return this early.

They seem to be loaning out a lot of the younguns at the minute,wonder if its in preparation for life in the championship.

2-0.

If results haven't improved by xmas will he walk?

Woeful today. Looks very sluggish.

The best of a shit bunch for me like.

Jack Colback,Steven Fletcher and Danny Graham at Centre Parcs.

Definatley need to play with 2 wingers,putting cm's on the wings is clearly not working.Playing with a target man like Mitrovic and not getting crosses in is criminal.

For he seems a decent player,but beneath the layers,he's just a man,a man from deutschland.....

Forgot we even had Thauvin! So... not given a single minute at home to stoke at 0-0? He's finished here, unless Shteve goes first. He was warming up with his strip on for most of the second half and kept looking over at the bench to see if he was coming on,but never did.

Helluva lot of empty seats again today.

Next game is the decider for me - lose at Bournemouth and he has to go. Bring in who though?

Think him and Wijnaldum link up really well.

Should we be righting the kid off after only a few games? Definitely think theres a player there probably just needs some matches under his belt and gain a bit of confidence.

Pure speculation.
