Rasmus does....

Too much aggression, not enough front foot?

With the greatest respect, he won't be.

Don't all models rely on the subjective opinion of the assessor to decide the danger level involved? Presumably that would take into account the ability of the shot taker - but oddly, not when it comes to penalties as they have a fixed xG.

This! Absolutely this! Well, definitely this, apart from the £120million or so spent on new players since the summer. Other than that, this!

To be fair, I've been to Merthyr plenty of times and seen the 'Welsh women'. Can't begrudge Nathan a fucking lucky escape there!!

Heart beat and culture is one thing. Not winning games due to shit coaches is another entirely.

What you do in your own time is your business 😲

Bristol City, Plymouth if they get promoted (quite likely). Ipswich too if they can scrape through (not been there since 1991). If Cardiff can sort themselves out that could be a good day out. Exeter and Bristol Rovers would be good for me as well, but will probably have to wait until the season after for those

It says it's by Alfred de Zayas 🤷‍♂️

But might sort out our "positioning* weaknesses....

The pattern seems to be that when the (his) emotions are taken out of the equation, the pressers are fairly normal. Nothing unusual said yesterday (he's definitely not the greatest orator), but nothing really controversial either, although he kind of brushed off the B team selections with some waffle that didn't make sense. Catch him after the match / in the heat of the moment though and it all goes bat shit crazy!

Does that mean we've now nailed aggressiveness AND front footedness?

Does that mean that, statistically, Wigan Infirmary are the Best in Europe for 'at least' one early appointment - or that most of the other fuckwits in Wigan are hideously late for their hospital appointments?

In summary, statistically, Jones is correct as he is most certainly, hands down, the best in Europe at being the shittest Premier League manager. What's that saying about lies, damn lies and statistics?

Forest, Everton, villa, Brentford.

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say that's like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Seems a little bit late for him to say it's all down to him after Saturday's press conference where he started to say the same thing but then went on to blame every man and his dog instead. Maybe, and I could be wrong, that's why some fans are getting het up about it.

It was "I don't need to answer your fucking stupid question, peasant" and then he walked off (didn't look back either).

How many times does he need to say it? We Ar3 HarDEr to BEat NoW! (Except for the games where we've been beaten quite easily).

Didn't we get fed some bollocks last week about players in the B team not necessarily meaning they wouldn't play on the Saturday? What happened to them?

No different to Poch. In fact, if memory serves, Poch got a much worse reception and way more scepticism than Jones, who has probably benefitted from a little 'benefit of doubt' from the fans precisely because of what Poch achieved. The difference is Poch earnt that respect by virtue of his results. Jones hasn't done that with his results nor with his comments (remember the 'they' remarks slipped in very early in his tenure).

Many people have already said it's not his fault he's the wrong person. Doesn't mean it's not right and therefore needs to be changed.

What's the old adage? Respect is earned? I'd say the vast majority of the fan base were sceptical of his appointment given his past achievements (manager of the year in the 6th best league in the world aside!), but were willing to give him a chance to show what he can do. The fact he'd had the whole WC break to plan and coach then delivered the pile of shit that he did, didn't do much to earn the respect from many.
