Whitey Grandad

It looked to me like a traditional go-slow. Sometimes called a work-to rule.

Would you trust him with a load of money? If he can't motivate the current lot then why should he be any better with more expensive players?

I remember discussing this with Ivan Golac. He said that as a manager he liked to leave three players up front so that the other team would have to keep four back to counter them.

I could have written that myself "...the man regarded in his homeland as Arsene Wenger's protegé" ? I see a solution coming up. If only we could persuade Wenger to stand down.

What struck me on Saturday was the number of our players who had their heads down and were just strolling through the actions.

Get rid of one manager or several players? It's a lot cheaper to change the boss.

Please don't remind me

All this for me. I don't care who the manager is provided we play with pace and ambition. If I wanted to be sent to sleep I could buy some pills.

Any paying customer has a right to demand and expect some sort of effort and entertainment. Otherwise you might as well take a crossword or puzzle book to the game. These games have been especially poor. Man City, WBA, Bournemouth, Hull

Yes Bertrand, but his was a subtle glancing header. We are lacking an extra dimension if we always have to play on the ground. Austin and J-Rod would add an extra option, when available.

It's a observation. Far more supporters watch home games than away ones. If you have a season ticket and don't/can't do away games then you will have a totally different view of the season than someone who mainly goes to away games. For home supporters this has been a crap season with boring football and a desperate lack of goals. If all you care about is league position and points then maybe attractive football in front of 30,000 of your paying customers is not your priority.

We are weak in the air. When was the last time we scored from a thumping header?

Can you separate home and away figures from that? There is a big difference between our home and away results. Against Hull at halftime we had a record of zero shots. That's not zero on target, that's zero shots in total. And one corner.

Well, sideways actually but I get your point.

I agree.

It wasn't just tactics that were wrong against Hull. The team just could not be bothered.

The players always have a say over whether the manager stays. Look at Ranieri, Mourinho.

I vaguely remember the Goon shows from my childhood (born 1949) but the music never had any significance for me. Having listened to it it sounds like a jazz piece to me and is likely to have been composed by Geldray himself. I don't recognise it at all.

When I see one I'll let you know. I've seen far more poor ones at home than good ones.

What more do you want? https://www.discogs.com/Goons-Goon-Show-Classics-Vol-9/release/1584498

Away game, wannit.

I think that JWP in the middle would have been better than Boufal or Tadic out wide.

Those performances you list were away games. At home we have been generally dull and boring. No season ticket holder is going to form an opinion based on away games.

You must be very pleased

No particular problem playing just the one up front but failing to support that player is feeble. I counted several times when the ball was played through to Gabbi who then turned round to see eight Hull players and none of ours.
