It really doesn't matter what formation we play the players are basically not good enough, and when your only defensive midfielder is injured you are totally screwed (even though he is not really good enough either).

Where do you get mediocre? With a very few notable exceptions they are poor.

No, RM was the problem, but it is also true that the squad is not good enough, hardly any PL quality players, no manager was likely to turn this cows ear into a silk purse.

Crikey, it's a barrel of laughs on here today. All the tactical geniuses having a melt down.

Of course he has, no one looks like he does otherwise 😉

To be hones, Brett Ormerod would probably walk into our side right now.

We're better than Man City, at least according to 'form' table 😂

Bomber likes Wellington so he does

Exactly, but looked pretty good going forward, was a real plus today. Maybe if he gets played more now he will stick around, clearly did not suit Russ, or Russ didn't suit him. We looked better today, no messing about at the back, but there were still too many sloppy passes, so often we did all the hard (good) work defending and then passed it out straight to a Fulham player. Fortunately Fulham were having an off day and didn't hurt us. Actually thought Wood was decent, likes to play a long ball, which is presumably why RM did not play him much. Dibling having his worst game was maybe not opportune, given Ivan was watching on. He can be so much better than that. Love to know what happened to the Flynn Downes who played for us last year.

No mention of any coaching staff, who will probably find it harder to get visas.

Interesting Rohl thinks people know his history (at Southampton). Have read comments in various places that would suggest even Southampton 'supporters' know the square root of feck all about his history.

Well, we have both been "managed" by Souness. Though questionable if that was a good thing.

Amusing really, how impressions change a year or so on. Charles was rubbished on here last season, though it was obvious to some that he is actually a very decent player. Almost no one here gave a toss about Rohl when he left, claiming he had no influence on Hassenhuttl. Yet here we are, bigging up both (not necessarily you Trousers). I actually don't think Rohl is what we need right now, and I also think it will take a miracle to turn our unfit mediocre squad into gangenpress (or whatever it's called) players. You can't instill fitness like that midseason. Basically we are f***** with the current squad who with a few notable exceptions are simply not good enough for the PL.

Need to be a bit careful with any SR banners.

He did do one thing right.
