With all due respect he sounds totally out of our league and not someone SR would even think about. Far too knowledgeable.

Haven't read it but, according to Ugly Inside, there is an article in the Echo quoting AA as saying the players haven't been giving 100% because they didn't like Will Still and his methods. Anyone read it? For our captain to say this publicly is pretty disgraceful as is not giving 100%. Whatever the player views on the manager they should never give less than 100% for the football club and the fans. If we've been losing games through a lack of effort that's pretty damning if true.

Ok, so he saw through Russball and twigged that a high press would win the ball in dangerous areas and lead to goals. Not exactly rocket science was it.

I don't think we're going to give up. We'll fight against the threat of relegation as hard as we can.

Might show us which of the wasters (if any) wasn't putting in a full shift for Will Still.

If that were true (which I doubt) it would be like asking Martin to pay us £5-£8m to come and be our manager. Even he wouldn't do that.

Has he had a leg amputated then?

When we stop playing 3 at the back with 2 wing backs who are really just full backs. Add the keeper and a defensive midfielder and that's 7 players out of 11 playing defensively. Hard for the creators to shine in that sort of set up.

Spot on.

Too small a number of games and now he's gone - my gut tells me his decision would have been validated. Also I've seen Stephens play.

Anyone know what time Russboy's presser for the QPR game is?

Haven't you heard....there's a sucker born every minute. Snake oil sales is big business.

Statistics would indicate he made the tea.

None of the names in the clues are meant to be taken seriously 🙂 although who knows.

Nah, the first thing I say when this lot appoint a manager is, 'Why?'

Thanks THB.

A mystery figure was spotted entering the south gate at Staplewood. Meanwhile the club artist is busy drawing a caricature and there has been a rustle of contracts being shuffled. Rasmus has issued the directive 'Oh kneel before the new king' and someone is busy crafting barrels. Make of that what you will.

To turn us into anything remotely resembling Sunderland lite we'll need more than Oriol. They have recruited wisely and realised you need a squad/team packed with athletes who have strength, power and speed. We have little or none in our squad yet continue to recruit comparative weaklings. Spors needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

15 posts. I smell bullshit.

Whatever you say about Will Still at least he had the balls to drop Captain Jack. I fear whoever the new manager is will stick him straight back into the side.

Brilliant news! Welcome back Oriol. Now go kick some of those weak asses in the dressing room.

Oh dear.

At last a bit of physical strength.

On the odd days they were in they'd train like beasts.

What you mean the bloke who thought Damion Downs was a footballer - good luck with that.
