More shit tactics and uninspiring leadership mixed with inept strikers, an overly defensive set up and a bunch of individuals who are not gelling or give any evidence of believing in what the coach has to say/dreaming of being at other clubs, soundly beaten by a team who play together and will slice us apart with enthusiasm if not skill. 3-0

Come on, everyone. The manager is totally out of his depth. System and selection randomiser and with the charisma of a wet lettuce. Nothing will change with Still still here.

It's okay though, because he did well on Monday Night Football with a screen and some graphics. Wake up.

Clueless manager. Have said it from the start. Get rid.

So uninspiring. Can't think how he doesn't motivate the players...

Another chance for the pseudo coach to shake the numbers in a cup and come up with another line-up and formation to please his computer past and Monday Night Football screens but get unstuck by real humans playing in real time. 1-1. Bunch of strangers kicking the ball vaguely around the pitch waiting for Flynn Downs to get a yellow for his moment of appearing to care. Or, 5-0 and it's amazing.

Exactly. Ludicrous appointment. Said it at the time. Got roundly booed. But, but, he did so well in the French league, they said. He 'proved himself' there. He was amazing on Monday Night Football. All a sham. Pseudo. Emperor's New Clothes. Get shot as quick as possible and appoint, for once, someone with a bit of substance and track record at managing and coaching real players into a real team.

McCarthy has nudged into the 'slightly less shit than Baz' bracket. We continue to have a blind spot for keepers and strikers. And CDMs.

Have said this from the start and got pilloried for doing so. He's so obviously an emperor's new clothes appointment. We continue to be so convinced by people who interview well rather than who have a clear track record in doing what we need. Break the bank and just get Sean Dyche. Will sort out defence, and from there we can start winning.

Because Will's little computer told him to do that, OBVS He manages our team like it's all a simulation and seems confused when reality intervenes. Need to get shot of him quickly.

Downs, offered a chance to show something, ran round like he could not be arsed. What a waste of money. Downs came on and flicked his hair, got the usual yellow card for ineptitude and did absolutely nothing in his pining for Wussell way. We've even turned some of the Championship's most exciting, attacking forwards into nervy averageness, cast by the Saints/Still confused playing style wand. Armstrong's goal so jammy McCarthy, however, had a good game

Sorry, that was dogshit. Another randomiser coaching masterclass from the great pseudo computer sham merchant. Crap

Derby are terrible. Our substitutions are completely random - a coach trying to pretend he actually knows what he's doing. No structure to our formation. No pace. No togetherness. And Still just chucking random players on and hoping it works. Downs and Downes completely anyonymous and offering 'couldn't give a shit' vibes. Depressing.

Can't see Will outcoaching Wilder. Or any other manager with experience. 2-0 feels right. And Ings to score or assist for the bet builder.

Bang on. Even Hoddle's side went on a run of 1-0 wins. Can't remember our last run of clean sheets. Let's be boring for a bit.

100% agree with this. Watching Nuno last night and the immediate impact he has made to West Ham one phrase stuck out - let's defend first. We haven't set up like this for ages. We didn't invest in a decent keeper and are now reaping the rewards of that with a ripple of no confidence running through past the haphazard Jack in defence, through the not strong enough and error prone midfield, and on to the misfiring strikers. It feels like something fundamental is wrong when good players suddenly become a bit crap after joining us. This might be the coaching set up, or the atmosphere that SR create, or it might be yet another manager gamble designed to make the employers look like geniuses if it comes off, but in reality is far less preferable to just appointing someone with decent experience, shock horror, in the league we are in (not a ropey French one). So for me, yes, time to start making straightforward decisions. See for reference Wilder v Will to come in the next match. Think it will be yet another schooling from the land of reality to the land of the keyboard.

It really does feel like us and something that Jack Stephens would do. Then again, so would I as Still has been very below par and should never have been appointed. Or Stephens given a new contract. So terrible all round from SR. Standard.

Seventh in Ligue 1. Big deal. Really.

Should never have been appointed in the first place. Should always have gone for experience rather than clever clever next gem bollocks. Give him 10 games and then see. Relegation is a distinct possibility if not.

It's okay, our manager is good on computers. And his Monday Night Football performance with a screen was definitely enough to get him a job as Saints boss. Definitely. Hope he has a good goal counter on tonight.

Sham manager. Champ manager is not real world and no amount of tactical bullshit on Monday Night Football will cut it in the real world. Sadly we have management (and fan base, largely) who were/are taken in by it. Embarrassing. Current trajectory is going down

Personally think we should have appointed Sean Dyche and given him free rein. Make us hard to beat first. Instil belief. Clean sheets. Then build. But have a character through the team. Appointing Still is just another attempt to massage the ‘we’re really clever’ bunch at the club who got lucky once and are living on that. It permeates the club. Still is a sham. Computer guy. Get a real manager. This is embarrassing. Still.

Anyone not come to the realisation that we need a proper manager yet? Another clueless hiring decision.

I wouldn't mind Downes if he actually looked like he gave a shit, passed the ball forwards occasionally, played a game without getting a yellow card, didn't lose the ball in dangerous positions inviting counterattacks, and wasn't clearly pining for his 'fwend' Wussell. Otherwise he's ace. Wish he'd bog off.

If a team like Portsmouth can come to us and defend our one 'tactic' with such ease and Still doesn't have the ability to see it and change it then we are in for a very poor season indeed. But don't worry, bringing on the towering figure of Adam Armstrong is always the great answer to such tactical genius.
