hypochondriac

Unless we hit on someone half decent by accident or the fan base make enough of a fuss that they're forced into a change of direction and philosophy. In my opinion, sports Republic want to be different. They don't want to do what has worked elsewhere, they want to be credited with any success. Buying older more experienced players or a grizzled manager that's done it already goes against that. If they manage to get success through developing a bunch of young players from Germany or discovering a new talent under a new manager then they can go to seminars and talk about their new way of doing things and how they are shifting the paradigm or other bollocks. I am sure they want to be known as the next Brentford or Brighton with clubs pointing to them as the ones who know what to do by going against the established order. Having a coach that's done it already or a core of older players with success elsewhere detracts from that.

If he's still in charge Sunday and we lose I would expect chants fro the start of the next home game. I expect our fans won't but that's what I'd want.

Rohl had better options. Tonda obviously wouldn't have.

Be serious. No one is turning down that opportunity.

Chuck Stewart in if not injured. Preferably a new signing.

We know who it is. THB Stephens Downes Armstrong Manning Every single one of them can fuck right off. I'd rather play the youth players than any of those cunts Peretz Jelert wood Quarshie Wellington Jander Sesay Azaz Fellows Scienza Stewart Is a much better team. Ideally we'd get a striker and cb in but I doubt we will. Why on earth have we got a novice manager in and then not given him a very experienced assistant manager? It's just a bizarre way to run a club.

I'd have nigel pearson. He saved us from relegation before.

All the manager says is the next game is the important one. Lose on wendesday and he will say we have a chance to put it right on Sunday and we are all in for the next game.

I reckon we essentially gave up during the relegation season and that's just carried onto this season. I'd love to know what Romeu makes of it all even if he's no longer up to things.

Yep. Loads wrong but the main underlying issue is not having a disciplinarian around to take names and kick ass. Standards dropped under Martin and they've never recovered. Losing and doing badly happens but losing in the manner we have done this season and without the required effort is shameful and unforgivable.

I can see why they gave him the job but the job of a senior leadership team is to cut through the noise and make the right calls not necessarily the popular or kneejerk ones. Look at saints sacking Adkins for example, something almost no fans would have supported but ultimately it was the right thing to do. That was a ballsy decision. Appointing Tonda was a terrible error I truth even if the fanbase were happy with it after the good start. He's the opposite of what we required.

Who claimed that a change of formation would make us good? It would contribute to making us better which is surely the aim.

Impossible. The experts on here were saying our formation was not part of the problem.

Just logged in to see we are getting well beaten which is no surprise. I hope there are chants against the board and surely we have to get rid of this clueless manager immediately.

Well we dont have the personnel for a solid back five either given how many goals we have conceded playing that formation. Given that we concede goals either way, I'd rather have more in midfield and less of a gap between defence and attack. Fellows is obviously better further forward and so I'd rather take a punt that they can create and score more that way than continuing to play negative, boring and defensive tactics that cause us to lose anyway.

Indeed. Even if they played poorly I that formation I'd still be advocating for it-particularly at home-on the basis that we haven't tried it for an extended period and it lacks the obvious flaws that 3 at the back has.

Yeah good point. I'm fucked either way then!

Peretz Jelert THB Wood Wellington Downes Jander Fellows Azaz Scienza Armstrong Is a better formation than this one.

I don't care who is doing it quite frankly. If the manager doesn't have the balls to tell them to shove it or if he's doing it because he thinks it's the best way to play he's wrong either way. Playing the exact same team that has got us on this winless run is mad as well. We will inevitably concede a goal and probably more than one which makes it mad to be playing this formation. So sick of shite football and about five of the players on the pitch stealing a living. I'd genuinely rather have some youth or fringe players in than these bunch of cunts. Sick of it play fellows in his proper position you bunch of bellends. Luckily I'm unable to catch up with the first half so won't have to suffer through it.

Fuck off five at the back. I fucking hate this manager.

I reckon we will start in a back 2 and then go to a back 3. Just a hunch.

Before our recent woeful form we didn't have woeful form for a number of games. HTH.

Just had a look at our form. Fuck me for a team with parachute payments and some of the quality we have that is bloody unforgivable.

No press conference?

Not if the threshold is high enough. It's not acceptable that politicians can blatantly lie to get elected, renege on most of their promises and then roll out a load of society changing stuff that no one voted for with no means of getting rid before the next election. We already have recall petitions under certain circumstances. Changing those circumstances can make politicians more accountable to their constituents.
