No ever just want to admit a manager is shite and we need to make the right appointment? does the thought even ever cross your mind? or do you live in a constant world of rainbows, petting zoo's, cute bunny rabbits and bubble gum forests?

Ah - let's change the manager after every poor result - we expect wholesale changes but expect them to just work - that right is earned and takes time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 McLeish. He knows the benefits of a big physical team and I think that's the only road to go now. We have a squad capable of playing 5-3-2 for the most part and it CAN work. I'm actually sad Clint Hill left now because 3 CBs looks like it might be the way to go if we go down that route. I know many will disagree with the 5-3-2 and physicality but we're in a desperate state. The league is already gone and the window almost closed. We need to make Rangers difficult to beat and bring a combative element to our team. For my money, I'd take Moult because the lad has a lot of heart and shows a desire to compete and win games. McLeish in, sign Moult, get Hill back, go 5-3-2, and start battering teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyaleastend 3,260 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 We need to stop the jakeys from ten, so I'm afraid he'll have to go, we don't have a lot of time and can't afford it to any individual either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal 136 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I was never keen on Pedro when he was appointed just out of his depth big time 5 months in charge and he has set all the wrong kind of records. I wanted Nigel Pearson he was available when Warburton was working his ticket he has a pretty decent track record and still out off work I'm sure he could steady the ship and improve the performance of the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_85 665 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Ffs how about giving the man in charge your full support. 3 games in and more or less a full new team because he had to get rid of Warburtons duds. I don't care who was in charge it would have always taken time for them to settle in. Get the list to fuck until there's a time when we need a list Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His subs in the first progres game killed the midfield and our control of the game, he admitted his subs were a mistake after the match. Progres away he gave them too much respect playing with 2 DM's until we were looking down the barrel and on the way out. Hivs he should have brought Rossiter on when we lost jack, he chose to have Miller and Windass in a 4v5 midfield giving us no presence in the centre which led to hopeful hoofball. The continued deployment of Miller in general but moreso midfield. His subs just seem to have an incredible knack of killing any momentum we have.

Like today for example keeping miller on the pitch for 90 minutes when he was dead on his arse. Not only that, dropping him into midfield where he is as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike. But the tactical genius today also only made two substitutions in a game where we were lacking creativity. Did he feel the players on the bench could offer nothing or forget he had another sub to use? On the bench sat Pena, our most expensive purchase of the summer, the man Pedro told us was nicknamed Guillit. Fucking embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
