Skeletor Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 He bought what he could within the ridiculous constraints set on him by the fat cunt. The issue is over reliance on players who are constantly letting him down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The lack of subs at HT is a strange one. Don't get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I thought the idea behind the summer backup plan was to get as much competition between players as possible? That's gone out the window the last 6 games - his decisions are negating competitive edge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 For the first time as our manager he genuinely looks a bit fucking clueless. Not a good sign when the squad is piss poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Love the bloke to bits but he's, rightly, going to have to answer some difficult questions and justify some of his recent decisions. We all know his hands have been tied regarding getting players in, there's a context but he needs to find a solution pretty quickly with the players he has.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Looks like a big mistake to abandon the 4-2-3-1, even if we were struggling for goals. It's like we don't have a midfield now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is he in any danger from a very vindictive Mike Ashley? 5/6 losses on the trot in today's football usually spells a degree of uncomfortable. Another loss this next week and he wouldn't would he?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ashley might be thinking if I do nothing he might get us relegated for a second time in a row and the value of the club will plummet again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The first time I've seen him get it wrong to the extent where I'm not sure what the intention was vs the alternatives. Poor timing with the subs as well, just got it wrong today and I imagine he'll know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 This should have been 6 or 7 to them. He can't even set us up to contain anymore. If anything it just confirms he was right not to abandon his ultra cautious formation despite everyone claiming we should go 4-4-2. Our defenders aren't good enough without that extra protection, and they still concede easy goals even with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Not changed my tune from last season, come match day he’s nothing special. As a man, as a club manager, as someone to spearhead a clubs revivial you’d couldn’t ask for more, but come match day it’s either defend for your lives and nick a goal or the plan fails miserably. It’s not much different to dinosaurs like fat Sam, I had hoped for better. Also again, you can blame his hands being tied, but he’s partly responsible for that due to some hideous signings and his refusal to drop them when they clearly aren’t good enough. This isn’t good enough from him, not by a long shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
