Sounds like the perfect type of 'expert' Sport Republic would approach for advice and guidance with a major decision.

Are you able to enlarge on this. David O'Leary (good player that he was) is not even a name you hear mentioned in football circles these days.

You could be right. Mad Nate will have Charlton right up for it and we never beat Leicester.

Mad Nate from the Rhondda against our boy Tonda. This miss match only ends one way.

So he can't get a message on from the technical area. Strange. 🙂

He's only in charge because he was in the right place at the right time. No other Championship would have remotely considered him so let's drop the pretence that he's good enough, cut to the chase and bring in someone better qualified to do the job. This is urgent and the fact that he's scraped two wins against poor sides should have zero bearing on proceedings.

Yeah hardly rocket science is it.

To be fair, like Saints, Scotland are not blessed with a wealth of quality centre forwards.

I struggle to think why anyone would buy and read books he has written or pay and waste time attending one of his bullshit seminars.

That final 20 minutes against QPR was far worse. As a game plan to protect a 2-1 lead it was everything you shouldn't do. 11 men behind the ball hoofing it away and waiting for it to come back again with no attempt whatsoever to get the ball into the opponents half. A kids football team manager would do a better job. Eckert showed that he had no idea how to manage that final 20 minutes other than a backs to the wall desperate defensive set up which, more by luck than judgement, saw us hold out until the final whistle. That cameo rung huge alarm bells about his ability and he needs to return to the U21s asap to continue learning his trade because he is currently far from ready to manage at Championship level.

There is more to them than Granit Xhaka although I agree he was an astute signing. They have packed their squad with pace and power because they realise that is what is needed to compete in the Premier League. Our little snowflakes would be like lambs to the slaughter if we were playing Premier league teams and they aren't physical enough for the Championship either.

No thanks. Another slow, small player who can't compete physically is the last thing we need.

We continue to recruit players who are too lightweight. Spors suggested he was going to fix this but he has done little other than signing Quarshie who is one for the future and the recent signing of Romeu. Spors should be studying other clubs like Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace and Sunderland. We have far too many shrinking violets who shirk at the first sign of a physical battle.

I think there is a clique at the club and the ringleaders are Capt Jack, THB and Downes all of who were dropped by Still.

Probably not available but there is a guy in Scotland who currently has Hearts unbeaten and above both Celtic and Ranger. Derek McInnes has his side playing 442 so no 3 centre back nonsense. Some of his success is attributed to the fact that Brighton owner Tony Bloom has a 29% stake in the club meaning they have access to his analytical scouting network tools. If only we had someone as clever as Bloom instead of Rasmus and his off the wall nonsense.
