Willo of Whiteley

Maybe he’s agreed to play with a back five 👀🤣

Makes you wonder what the “senior players” will make of the appointment if Gary O’Neill became the new manager. 😂

Wishing for: McCarthy; Jelert, Wood, Quarshie, Wellington; Downes, Jander, Azaz; Fellows, Armstrong, Scienza Expecting: Bazunu; Fellows, THB, Stephens, Wood, Manning; Downes, Jander, Robinson, Armstrong, Downs I just see the line up tombola being rolled out for this one.

Adding Gary O’Neill to the list. (Also a note: shortening of odds does not mean the bookies know something fans don’t. How utterly deluded are some people? 😂)

If Gary O’Neill is appointed, which I don’t think he will be, the chanting for Sport Republic out will be monumental after a couple of games. I don’t see him being the one to get a tune out of these players; and Sport Republic will want to do everything to deflect away from them.

Imagine the statement from the club if we hired a manager with pedigree and authority and stature. Nice right? Aaaaand back to reality. Tonda Eckhart three year deal incoming.

I thought he was unfortunate at Man United to lose his job, they played brilliant counter attacking football

I think it’ll be Eckhart even if we don’t win on Saturday. A real yes-man that SR dream of. But the continued issue of playing five at the back and shit substitutions makes me extremely uncomfortable.

This is the issue I said a week ago. The fanbase calls for Will Still to go (rightly or wrongly), who comes in? Realistically? It won’t be Ange, or Martin, or Ralph, or Gerrard, or Lampard, or Rodgers, or Carrick, or Southgate, or Rosenior. Then you keep looking at other sites and other names and the options look pretty appalling. I can see Tonda Eckhart being made permanent, being very underwhelming but the cheap Sports Republic option.

Steven Davis lives nearby still. Just saying 👀

Give him the armband immediately

He said this last night in the post match interview

Imagine the reaction if Tonda Eckhart gets the permanent job. How will you react?

The scenes on the bench and the players was a little cringy. More was Tonda’s fist pumping to the crowd. Such a fluky, lucky win. A better team would’ve cut through us like a knife through butter.

Nope, if it’s a choice of those two, we just accept that we go for the third option, concede and go again from the halfway line. 😂

Pretty level headed post all round. Howpfully that puts to bed the bullshit of “SR are telling them how to play”. And is for the Manning comment; it’s remarkably similar to the muppets that wanted Will Still out and then they say something along the lines of “I reckon we should go for Jurgen Klopp”. 😂

I just want a manager that plays four at the back. So it’s a no from me

Jack Stephens on media duty tonight. Summary: - Excited that Romeu is coming back, he’s been at the club since Monday - There was never any problem between him and Will Still - Maybe they rode their luck tonight - They know they should be doing better

Gonna bump this because it’s become more relevent now, again!

I mean, Sport Republic are the owners. Rasmus is part of SR. The entire SR hierarchy attended the game tonight but it does not mean he picked the team for fuck sake.

Oh how wrong can you be… 😢

Probably getting ready to tie Tonda down to a five year deal.

Let’s not gloss this over, that was just as piss poor as we were under Will Still, maybe just with a bit more speed. Allan can say is I hope Tonda doesn’t get the full time job. Also goes to show that those players are pretty dire. Another poor formation, we can’t defend so why do we set out to defend? Madness. But somehow three points?! Interesting to see the entire hierarchy there tonight.

Me, sadly 🤣 Only if I was forced to pick between a GK or a ST, unfortunately we got Damion Downs. I take back my previous opinion on not needing a GK. I’d rather have wheelie bin stationed in the centre of the goal.

Is the SR model to play with five at the back and as soon as you go ahead to bring on another and sit ultra defensive to invite the opposition into your penalty area? Or are we just blessed with shit managers?
