This way is shite football from what I'm seeing.

We won't.

He doesn't make enough five yard passes sideways and backwards so unfortunately Russ deems him not good enough.

I don't want to hear RM utter the word brave again until he sorts his shit out and sends a team out to be brave. What we are seeing currently is a timid, meek, cowardly side afraid to pass the ball forwards or to commit players to attack. Put your money where your mouth is Russ and people might start taking you seriously because you're coming out with a load of bullshit that fools nobody at the moment.

What and disrupt our silky, one-touch possession football - nobody is going to put up with that.

Showed today we have some huge shortcomings other than goalkeeper which is a real worry.

Let's see how the season unfolds but he needs to up his game and be less pedantic.

Agree. It's a sobering thought that all the focus has been about bringing in a decent goalkeeper - after today's shambles we are clearly lacking all over the pitch. Maybe a couple of the new signings can help but we know that RM takes his time to introduce newbies and is more likely to stick with the bulk of the team so the same rubbish will result.

Said it before - we lump loads of aimless crosses into the box under RM's system. Might as well stick someone up front who might get on the end of them instead of this snobbery that. 'we don't put in high crosses, oh no, that's for team's who can't play football'. Give me a break Russ - you aren't good enough to coach a team to play effective possession football at this level so swallow your pride and stick a big unit up front.

You have to remember he's very limited as a coach whatever mumbo jumbo about being ourselves and being brave he comes out with. The Championship is his ceiling.

They'll learn eventually.

36 more games and we can close this thread for good.

So we need two quality strikers plus a brilliant creative number ten as a bare minimum. We don't have the spending power so relegation beckons, just hope we avoid embarrassing ourselves.

I'll tell you at the end of this one.

Give Russ a call will you.

I hear Lucy has said of Jack, 'it's him or me'. Make of that what you will.

Surely we can all put up with it for one season can't we!

Got to find a space for Captain Jack.

Mainly whoever we play.

You missed out that we're crap - although to be fair we already knew that so as you were.

16th after 2 games - I'll take that 🙂

Does it matter? We'd do exactly the same if we were lucky enough to pick a side that might manage to get a goal in front.

Still, let's sign 28 more midfield players.

Seems you just soiled your bed but it's apparently ok for you.

Always said he should be our plan B but Russ wants us to play this scintillating possession football.
