HT Hungry Eyes 0 Hull 2

Even if we do. And even if he goes. Who will they appoint to replace him? Let's not kid ourselves into thinking it'll change a thing. Will just be another manager who wants a back 3 and possession based game. That's probably the most depressing thing. Manager makes no difference.

Wide open with every attack. Still we persist with 3 at the back.

Nope. Tonda will be there till seasons end now. Can't see them sacking two in one season.

Looking for signs that the players are even bothered by this.. Nope. Still most just flopping avout the pitch bored.

Unfortunately that's another game gone. No defending. Too easy and keeper no chance. This could be 3 or 4.

I'd say we are about the same. I do think we'd have less points. Tonda was fine when he was trying to get the job. Now he has it, he has gone for the safety approach again. Or is being controlled.

The old backwards passing working out as usual...

1 nil. Embarrassment.

Yeah, there is something just typical about SR to get a keeper in who has barely played for years and is very much an unknown entity. Rather than getting in someone who has a track record showing even a basic level of competency. I mean, why wasn't he getting games at Hamburg? Oh dear.. here we go again.

As bad as we've been lately, at least we won't have a crisp packet in goal * * assuming Peretz is ok!

Obviously we can't know - but even if he had stayed I think it would be the same here. The problem isn't ability it seems to be mentality. He plays like someone who despite being good, just doesn't love the game.

Would they really just drop Baz now this new guy has joined? Can't see it happening. They'll wait for him to make a mistake first.. I mean, another mistake.

And yet nobody at the club can see the problem. He'll still be in goal for the next game..

It does feel that way. Every manager rigidly plays the same system despite the results. Just like with Baz who despite being statistically terrible, remains in goal. Surely all the managers we've appointed don't have just ONE idea about how to play football. Even if you kept appointing like-minded managers, one of then would eventually buck the trend. A few games ago I hoped Tonda might stand up and find is own voice. Unfortunately that now looks impossible. If we continue as we are I can't see him lasting after the Pompey game. Simply because fan sentiment and anger toward the club at that point will intensify and the owners will be forced to act as they eventually did under RM.
