Redmond was at least capable of producing something good every so often.

Dragan Solak is Milan Mandaric's lovechild 😱

Tbf KWP, Alcaraz, Sulemana and Adams are the 2024 versions of Makin, Pulis, Wright and Pekhart

Bring back Selles, he seems to have discovered attacking football all of a sudden

That's some revisionism. You just need to look at that match thread to see the levels of optimism following that performance. We battered Wednesday and yes it took a late goal, but they barely touched the ball for 90 minutes. Plymouth away was another solid win against a team who hadn't lost at home for however long. There's no denying that aspects of the other games were poor to appalling as you say, but we managed to grind out a win against QPR and a late point against a solid Norwich team. You'd think we'd gone 6 game without a win. Yes things may not improve and those calling for RM's head now will be rejoicing in a month or two, but to be calling for his sacking now is unwarranted in my opinion

Kompany, Heckingbottom and Edwards were the three promoted managers last season. Top flight managerial experience between them? Next to nothing bar the Belgian league Season before - Silva, Parker (yes Scott fucking Parker) and Cooper. Two managers who largely failed in the PL and the other with zero top flight experience. Its really not that simple to just bring in an 'experienced' manager and that equals improvement or better still, promotion.

I know its mental that people want them out after 6 games, even when we've won half of them. RM wasnt my choice but the decision was made and Wilcox (a football man) has explained his reasons for appointing him. Im always for giving managers time, whats wrong with that. It was bad enough we had 3 managers last season, do you want another 3 this season? Even Watford would be laughing at us. Jones shot himself in the foot with his bizarre post match comments and pressers. The board had to act in the end. The fact they ended up giving it to Selles shows that they had no real plan beyond Jones for last season

Bazunu KWP Bednarek THB Manning Charles Fraser Alcaraz AA Edozie Adams We need a proper DM in midfield. Downes (injured) and Smallbone were so far off it last night. If Bednarek isnt ready, then Holgate needs to play beside THB. Also never mind poor defensive shape, some of our attempts at tackling last night was embarassing - Edozie, Alcaraz, KWP to name a few. It needs to be better all over. We'll score, we'll concede and I'm going for a frustrating 2-2 draw

Not really kid, since you're so interested in my posts have a wee dig there and you'll see plenty where I said that Carrick was overrated and would struggle once they lost Akpom and Archer.

Should have brought Carrick in. Doing a fantastic job at Boro....

Well they did get beat by Hull at home before they played us. 2 shots on target the whole game. They also werent overly convincing in their first few games (edging wins just like us). Im sure their forum was a joy to read like this one

What competent manager did you have in mind? All this forum can suggest is Potter like we actually have a chance of enticing him here

He actually got too tight, dived in to try and nick the ball (a Lyanco special) just outside our box. Regardless, he shouldnt have been in that central position acting as our DM. We get so disjointed with players get pulled all over the place and the high full backs approach doesnt help

Franny made a good point post match when analysing the first goal. Theres times where you just need to go long, irrespective of what the manager is asking of you. If that means taking an ear bashing from him, then so be it. Shea should played it high up the line as opposed to trying to find a player between the lines, at least it would still be 0-0. Played ourselves out of the game after 15 mins

Lets bring mad Nate back again, he delivered results at a lower level

THB got sat down by a defensive midfielder, pretty sure you can blame him for that protection or no protection

Well duh, just making an observation on a poor decision

Smallbone and Downes is very high bar

Must have missed that. Jannik fucking Vestergaard was made to look like Baresi, doesnt mean that he is

What did he do again? Ndidi and Maividi on the other hand, both made boys of our midfield and defence

Hard to work on anything when most of the players are away

Did he have any 5-0 or 4-1 defeats? Not to mention we're in the second tier. The team needs time but the last two games have been worrying to say the least

Could do with not getting that cunt Bobby Madeley refereeing us again. Never a red

Potter is never coming here. His last club was Chelsea. Give your head a wobble FFS

Yet we could have scored 3 or 4 ourselves
