Steve McClaren

[Guest ElCid]

every single thing I said has been right even though some blinded, sheep or clueless people om here have tried to ridicule. If this bloke is not sacked very very soon there is not a single doubt this club will go down.

This will really change people's minds like.

 

Don't give it a s*** if it does or not just shows how many sheep we have following the club or as I said clueless.

You're so smart and handsome.

 

Sorry not that way inclined, but go to the Central area of town tonight as I'm sure there will be loads available to service you.

Seriously do you need to be so needlessly antagonistic?

 

Just replying back to a person trying to be funny - had nothing to do with you anyway.

I'm more on about the way you came into the thread to needlessly insult people.

 

Like those people were when I was stating some honest opinions if you don't like it tough.

I can't remember people insulting you, but if people did, then thats wrong and i'm not advocating that, but don't go down to there level, rise above it, be the better man, dont try and rub it in peoples face in an antagonistic way. As otherwise you come out of it looking like a complete asshole.

They did mind you but fair enough I take your point.

[Guest ElCid]

Most people on here weren't happy or excited with McClaren.  Many said they'd give him a chance. Not that it matters even one f***ing iota.

 

You're right it doesn't as not a chance in hell Ashley will pull the trigger until it's probably to late.

[Skeletor]

If he didn't pull the trigger on Carver until the season was over then he won't on McClaren. Must be nice to have an owner who makes sensible decisions in the first place though.

Pretty much this. He was never the choice of most fans, the hope was that at least we could go back to playing football. He comes across as too nice tbh, not sure if he has it in him to get 100% from the players.

[afar]

Terrible appointment, we all said so at the time. And this is what you get, I didn't think he would be this bad though, I didn't think this squad was relegation fodder but he's got them playing that way. It's not good enough, it's Carver like management right now. For our PL status he needs to go and go soon !!

[Mr Logic]

How much to move him upstairs to DoF and give Cathro the gig, couldn't be any worse?

[triggs]

People's faith in Cathro is a bit odd, isn't he meant to be coaching us to attack? And we can't score goals

Think he only coached attack this week? Anyway my point was young, hungry, up and coming > tried and failed many times.

[St1pe]

I don't think it's as simple as blaming McClaren. We've been awful and negative for 3 seasons at least, we've replaced those nuggets with an actual coaching set-up and things began to incrementally improve but given the start and the losses the confidence has evaporated again. The first half today and the entirety of the West Ham game we've been been poor but before that there was some hope. I think a lot of the key players have really let the team down and no one wants to really take charge on the pitch, aside from Janmaat anyway.

Love all this toss about us being better in the second half. It was still an absolute crock of shite.

[Guest ElCid]

You're nearly 100% right but we're already two games off 5th bottom in terms of clawing results back and by the end of the next twp games that will most likely be three games - can he really afford to take the risk even now as this team under McClaren is going down no doubt about it and with the new tv deal coming into play next year he has to play hard ball - most likely 2 points after 8 games and two results at least from 4th bottom may change it all. If not Championship here we come and it's a total and utter disgrace we are still in this position just because he is listening to the wrong people i.e. Charnley, Moncur and Carr.

[TRon]

The second half was a lot better mind, but we had nothing up front.

[The College Dropout]

Love all this toss about us being better in the second half. It was still an absolute crock of s****.

ye. Our right side looked dangerous. Wijnaldum showed a little more. That was it.

Unfuckingreal what a utter disaster he is

[Incognito]

We have one striker in the squad who can be our focal point for the way we play. Unfortunately he's suspended but it's ridiculous we are so bereft of strikers who can play that role.

i was talking to gimp today- I cant get my head around how other clubs get a new manager boost-its a given in football, a new manager upturn, but not here- its a new manager depression- then the manager even says its normal.

Aye, when new staff come in there is normally the new manager bounce.

 

I have to say I was a little disapointed by his appointment but thought maybe with Cathro in the coaching set up there may be some quick improvement.

[Big Geordie]

It's amazing how many managers and players think whatever pish they spout off, will be believe by supporters. Most of us aren't fools - even though the club treat us as such.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Normal? ffs.

 

Akin to when Pardle trotted something out along the lines of the club being its own worst enemy.

Sounds like he is not bothered.

[Gallowgate Toon]

It was good to see he tried 4-3-3 and then changed it when he realised it wasn't working, and there was some improvement, but I think he just needs to concentrate on getting this team to just grind results out. Our defence is fucking shambolic, if left alone they just get ragged all over the shop by players with a hint of speed/strength. It's embarrassing.

He cant even get the most basic thing right and that's starting the best 11 players.
