Can't argue with your summary. The Damion Downs signing rings massive alarm bells because it's hard to believe someone even remotely competent would get that so wrong and pay good money for a centre forward so lacking in power, pace, physicality, awareness, skill, ability, aerial threat etc etc etc. He has not a single redeeming feature.

I've seen zero evidence of this.

Also hard to disagree with what I see with my own eyes every time he plays.

3 of Russboy's ex teams all looking for a new manager 🙂 He's spoilt for choice.

Some of the senior players need to take a good long look at themselves for the shabby way they treated Will Still. There was an evident lack of giving 100% and the captain Adam Armstrong even admitted the fact. If they'd put 100% in and carried out his instructions I believe we'd have got the same 6 points against a poor QPR away and an even worse Sheff Wed at home. He didn't get a fair crack of the whip because some of the big billy bollocks players thought he was beneath them.

Think you meant beat. For a moment I thought you were going to post about vintage Man Utd...Best Charlton and Law 🙂

Nobody hates him.

If true this is a worry - either Spors gets his way and we end up with Eckert or Rasmus gets his way and we end up with one of his weird and wonderful selections based on some algebraic formula and spreadsheet.

What you mean 'hungry eyes'?

All the more reason to move his feet quicker.

Yeah, can't say I'm sold on the prospect of the return of JWP. We don't need another small guy playing passes square and back and not quick enough to press the ball. I know it's a higher level but he's always looked pretty ineffectual for West Ham.

Agree, if he was made of chocolate he'd eat himself.

Yeah, rather than putting all the info in a single post and keeping two up my sleeve 🙂

So it is unlikely we'll have a new manager in place for most of the international break. Think that's a mistake to be honest.

Wasn't it actually the guy's wife who was spotted? Not sure she'd be appointed but you never know with this lot.

If he's unsighted from a ball struck outside the box when the nearest players are 18 yards away from him he's doing something radically wrong - like not moving his feet and making sure he has a clear sight of what's going on. It's not like he had a bunch of players a few yards in front of him.

With the international break upon us it actually needs to be a quick appointment to give the new guy two weeks to bed himself in, get to know the players who aren't away and start to get his ideas across. It's the ideal time but we can't afford to leave it another week because that is precious time wasted. I get that we don't want to rush and make another bad appointment but Spors must have been interviewing and have some idea who he wants so get it done asap.

Can't argue with any of these points.

Cos he's won 2 games and apparently Spors likes him.

Surely everyone has had enough of this clown now. How many more goals is he going to cost us before the penny drops.

Looking that way. Spors probably couldn't wait to congratulate him.

Bound to happen if you play 3 centre backs.

Wonder why? Soaking up the adulation and winning mood I guess.

With more bodies in midfield if he has anything about him.

There's your new manager sorted.
