Danny Ings currently 0 goals in 9 games I believe too.

Most interesting thing about this and Sheffield United in general is they seem to be going all in on the experienced manager they've appointed and buying "proven" players. Everything a lot of people on here want for us. Fully expect them to be tearing up the league any day now.

Literally had a job at another EFL club a few years back. Laugh emoji.

In what way is the season written off? We're 7 points off the play offs and 3 games coming up against teams between us and the playoffs. Whatever manager gets to take charge, the pressure is on to deliver. I don't understand the meltdown though. At least let it go wrong before having a headloss. For the Eckert critics how many points in the next 3 for example would win you over?

Who told you this and why did you believe it?

What does this entail?

Cwoooor everything you want from your manager. So exciting 🤣

There are plenty of examples either way, the trick is to get a manager capable of getting results out of your squad. Experience isn’t really relevant but it sure as hell makes people feel better about things in the short term.

I would but like you said we put forward that not long ago. The principles of the argument haven’t changed though. Experience doesn’t get you results. Otherwise Sheffield United would be out of the bottom 3 by now.

Yeah maybe, which was kind of my point originally. Seeing out wins is good. Thanks.

Maybe if Sheff Wednesday had a better manager they’d have beat us? Or maybe not because our manager is the best of all time just waiting to be given a chance?

A) you completely missed the point I was making B) if you really think such a simple formation change holds the key to our success and makes such a difference then god bless that innocence and simple thought process c) you completely missed the point I was making

Didn’t O’Neil and Solksjaer both start as caretakers? Both have been suggested as candidates for our job. Anyway, all I’m saying is the over reaction on here is silly. If we had a half decent striker ourselves we’d have won quite a few more games and Will Still would be leading a 3 at the back revolution here. We don’t, they didn’t. I’m happy to get into a debate about how relevant managers are and how underlying data should factor into decision making but given some on here refuse to understand XG I think we’re fighting a losing battle and my simple point was, winning felt good and dismissing that seems stupid.

There’s plenty of managers with experience, some in this league now or until the weekend, who would love a couple of wins like we’ve had this week and would lap it up as well. I agree that we’ve not been great, but given we’ve shown quite a lot in the last two games that we hadn’t shown this season already (willingness to defend our box properly and a ruthless streak at the other end) and we’ve played worse teams than QPR and not won this season and we never looked like losing on Saturday either, I think the idea that him carrying on is a ‘job for the boys’ or ‘brain dead’ is a bit of a over reaction. I’m sure we’ll get someone experienced, progress up the league with flowing football whilst playing 4 at the back and everyone will be satisfied though.

Alright, I'll get my ears tested
