Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 2 minutes ago, KaKa said: I really admire your tolerance and persistence. I don't think your audience is interested in dealing with the reality of our situation though, so mind you don't drive yourself crazy over the nonsense. I’m not overly fussed on the results - other than the worry that Isak, Bruno and Botman will all be off in the summer. The issue for me is that he’s played the hand he has been dealt badly with the way we’re going out with the same midfield issue, creating the same defensive issues and the compounding our attacking issues through running any fit player into the ground. If we are going to progress we need a manager who is a bit more proactive when things aren’t going well. the power play/dynamic that is seemingly in place with Ashworth is also a little concerning. there is of course a very plausible scenario where he was the right person for the last 2.5 years but has hit the ceiling. i dunno, thinking out loud really but I’m coming more around to the idea that he needs a storming end of the season or that will be all folks.

Now we are playing once a week we are going with the nursing players back to full fitness excuse, despite playing pretty much the same defence and midfield every single week. I mean even going by this nonsensical logic, now we're playing once a week we've started getting results again, this is our first defeat in 6.

TheBrownBottle Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 1 minute ago, Kid Icarus said: He conceded plenty and got outplayed plenty. We definitely would put on the odd ropey display, but we conceded an average of pretty much exactly one goal per game under KK. We are conceding an average of more than two per game this season.

Vinny Green Balls Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 1 minute ago, Matt1892 said: Joelinton and Willock cannot play in midfield together, as neither of them can fill the right sided midfield position and it makes us unbalanced. It is why we missed Longstaff so much at the end of last season. Wait. They have played fine there together before. And I don’t necessarily mean at the same time. Willock can change a game. Joelinton can bully the shit out of a midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so incredibly dull.. possibly the most dull individual on this forum. No interesting opinions, just sit on the fence and hope life passes you by. Your repeated attempts at trying to bait are of no interest to me.. a cabbage would be more fun to engage with. So respectfully, fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they would, and Kelly on a free appeals. My concern would be that the likes of Solanke are not who takes you up another level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I just hope that if Howe does turn it around, some of you grow a pair and admit that you may have continually overreacted during every rough patch. if he doesn’t last, he doesn’t last. But once again, he deserves a little latitude for what he has done for us up until now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock can change a game. Joelinton can bully the shit out of a midfield. When they play well together it is usually with Joelinton wide left. Either of them will add better balance to the side as Miley isn’t naturally suited to the left side, but they wouldn’t play in the centre together unless we had no other options.

Jaqen Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Most teams would struggle having 3 CMs available for half of the season especially when one is a 17 year old kid who is 7th choice and the other is Longstaff. Not really sure what the talk about Eddie hitting the ceiling is about. If you're judging him on a run with half the squad missing rather than the top 4 form we've showed when he had options available I don't know what to say.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I mean, it definitely could be better, but I feel like talks of sacking a manager after this, especially given the context of our squad atm, is ever so slightly unhinged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 7 minutes ago, Dr Jinx said: I fear he’s going to be given the transfer window and we’ll blow our wad on something Bournemouth. They were men against boys tonight and it shouldn’t be that way because our squad are anything but that.. This is my worry too. If we blow £50m on Solanke this summer then that will be confirmation for me that things are going in the wrong direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
