Golac's Cunning Stunts

But surely a good manager is absolutely crucial to turning round a losing mentality and installing a winning one? So, for example, a manager comes in, sees that morale is low, and initially sets up the team to be hard to beat? stop leaking goals, do the fundamentals correctly etc? Not implement some apparently genius system that only the liikes of Man City can actuallyimplement?

I think the managers and systems we have employed have played a large part in our demise. However, would be more than interested in your thoughts on this... what do you think the problems are?

It's pretty obvious we are not currently a serious football club

I listen to that on walks too. Perhaps we should send the link to Martin

fuck russell martin and sports direct as a starter for 10

I thought getting relegated would be what was needed to burn everything down so the Phoenix could rise from the ashes. I'm starting to think another relegation might be required before that starts happening... just like last time

look no further than sports direct and russell martin

he is no football player either

Worryingly, he seems wedded to his martinball tactics. He has too much hubris to consider a rethink.

He already is getting pummelled! Some boxers will improve and learn from mistakes. There is no sign this guy will. He didn’t at Swansea. He said the Sunderland mistakes wouldn’t be made again but they were in the very next game. Even more worrying, this time round he says the players did exactly what he asked them to do. Massive red flags that he is turning into mad Nate 2.0

Vestergaard has the turning circle of a supertanker but didn't matter tonight because as you say, we never once even thought to test him

It is a back 2. But we're so superior to other teams in the league, our other 8 can just concentrate on attacking apparently

Even get a dream team of ralph, mad nate 1.0 and mad nate 2.0?

gruesome performance tonight

I haven't seen a worse defensive performance since the Sunderland game

Well duh for you making such an obvious statement - not even worth a consideration

Sorry, but no. He should be coming out and apologising to the fans, not saying we are naive in not expecting to concede 9 fricking goals in 2 games

Needs to go now. Clueless chancer. Won't change. It is now 3 v Gills, 4 v Norwich, 5 v sunderland, 4 v leicester. That needs the sack

If he's not careful he is going to be funding a whole bunch of substandard managers tending their gradens for the next 5 years

Horrible reminders of when mad nate had the whole world cup to get things right and first game back you realise it is all going to be one long disaster

Makes absolutely no difference, We were shit and deserved what we got - infact lucky it was only 4

He will learn from it and it won't ever happen again

Change the name of this thread to Russell Martin Out please

At least he can say he has learnt from the 5-0 drubbing then. Improvement and all that
