Think hes off fishing...

This is not directed at you spesifically, but I love all the different reasoning from people trying to justify 5 at the back: First we were told we could not play a back four due to all our right backs were out injured. Then it is because we have no suitable left back... No, now it's becuase we have poor CB's

I appreciate your answer, and I am not trying to change your mind 🙂 we just disagree on a very specific thing. You think Manning is better suited to a back 5, I think he is better suited to a back 4.

I disagree. Manning and Wellington are poor, but let’s not make up excuses. Manning was no better or worse two seasons ago in a back four. If anything, limited fullbacks with poor positioning are less suited to play wingback. It’s not like managers around the world are moving from a back four to a back five because they have poor fullbacks..,

And Brooks is cup-tied…

I heard Rudi Skacel is coming

It will indeed be a confirmation of what we are already thinking. The people who made excuses for Baz will continue making excuses for him, and the people who didn't rate him, will still not rate him.

Well, at least he was pound for pound the fittest man in Europe, or something… I’d take Crazy Jones over Tonda every day of the week!

He has to win the odd game to stay in the job. I think the next 3 games are massive for him. But I have no faith in the club to get the next appointment right if they sack him this season or next, so I have no idea what I want…

Maybe Alex and Tonda have a lot more in common than one might think 😉

Mostly said tounge in cheek, but what is the point in keeping on losing and picking up the odd draw. He is a dead man walking in my eyes.

...and now he's had a stab at it.

Get some better fans in as well while you're at it! 😄

Which is what the sporting director, one vision idea was supposed to counter. If you have an aligned idea in the leadership of the club, it should make it easier to change managers (or head coaches), without disrupting the team too much. Somehow SR are getting the worst of both worlds 😄 Oh, and Tonda out! He probably won't win more than 5 games the rest of the season if he is kept in place, so might as well cut our losses now.

That is the average rating (and goals/assists) so far this season of the players that started the last game. The guy who got sent off got a worse rating in the game, but Downs was still shit, and second worst with his 5.32

Sorry.. I'm too slow. Maybe my brain is fried to?

Nope, they look good. The only fried thing might be his brain, though.

When we are playing shit, the players not getting minutes are allways the best players we have 😉

That is correct.

Hey! We are a player trading organization. It's not about the profit, it's about the trading! ...and we be tradin'

There has to be some good deals to be made out there in a World Cup year. A big striker that is not playing enough, and wants to make sure he gets in the World Cup squad. Like that Downs fella, who Hamburg just signed on loan. He would have been pefect 😉

Yeah, but I think it comes from the classic "whoever is not playing is the answer to our problems" syndrome that a lot of supporters usually come up with.

Because SR hired Whitey Grandad to oversee the goalkeeping department…

I liked this bit: If coaches were once chefs, they are now more akin to Deliveroo drivers: not really responsible for the food, but still ultimately answerable if it arrives cold or leaks out of the box.

Yeah, even good (or decent) football people gets the manager wrong sometimes. We have now made so many mistakes, that we have to get it 100% right next time. Everything has to "click". I have no faith in SR to get it right, but the law of averages must surley be in our favor now? That is what my faith or hope is down to now...
