I think the main difference may be that in Cortese and Marcus you had an owner and CEO who had the same vision and a relationship based on 100% trust and honesty. Reading between the lines I get the impression that the relationship between Kreuger/Reed and the owners is flakey to say the least. Sacking Puel and hiring Pelligrino were obviously two mistakes - I expect Krueger and Reed know that admitting that and asking their new boss for 'X' amount of millions to sort it out will mean they are out of a job. So as far as Krueger and Reed are concerned they might as well just carry on as we are and just hope we don't go down.

You mean, they were prepared in advance? What a bizarre concept.

As long as we don't go bust like last time.

Just because the team is not functioning doesn't mean the whole squad are always underperforming -if you don't have the right qualities in the right places it doesn't matter if they all perform to their best. If we are to persist with the 4-2-3-1 formation IMO we need a Pelle or Lambert type to lead the attack - at the moment we don't have any striker in that mould. We have Long (can't score), Austin (can't play) and Gabbiadini (can't be arsed) - none of these are suited to the lone striker role even at their best. Also, ideally, a decent squad has two players for every position which means we should have 6 to play the attacking midfield roles - at the moment we have Redmond, Tadic, Boufal and Davis. I don't see JWP as that sort of player so we are short in strength in depth in those roles which is why they've been flogged to death/rotated to try and find the right formular. A few good signings in key positions could transform the team IMO.

A loan move for Walcott would make the most sense.

The support from the whole Kingsland is **** even when it’s full so a few nobbers leaving early is not exactly going to effect the noise levels.

Transfer the debt to the club and asset strip to pay it off?

Because getting points away from home anywhere is tough in this league.

It smacks of the last time we went down when the person in charge just seems detached from reality.

When is the Chinese **** who owns us going to let us know his plans?

We are ****ed, only have three winnable home games left.

Fat Kat has sold us down the river.

3 winnable home games left after this.

Yep, should have acted months ago like everyone else.

**** me we are going down

A draw is not good enough, we need a win

****ing hell

Get in!

Or he was just trying to be positive back in August?

Just can’t see where the goals are going to come from in that team.

Well if VVD was the problem then we should win tonight.

Just ignore the nobs and post what you hear, most sensible posters appreciate it.

Anything other than a win and we are in deep trouble, looks a tricky one on paper but hopefully we will be that little bit fresher. We’re leaving it late to change manager now so this game is massive when you look at our fixtures.

Keep posting, just ignore the idiots. Some on here get a little bit jealous of anyone ITK
