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.

You'd allow for that by making the threshold high enough that you wouldn't have it happening all the time and you'd have a period where it wouldn't be allowed once you'd called one and it was unsuccessful. If strength of feeling was high enough and your failure big enough then it would be easier to remove you.

I'd make it so that constituents can initiate a recall petition with a certain number of signatures. Once a threshold is met you're out.

Obviously not.

Make recall petitions easier when you've lost the trust of the electorate. Personal I find it mental that any party can get to power through a manifesto that they largely junk and then do loads of other stuff they had never spoken about prior to getting into power and using their elected mandate as justification.

Surely you have a much more rigorous process and make it much easier to get rid of people not doing a competent job. Frankly I don't care if someone is in it for the money if the job they do is excellent. If they get rich of the back of serious success for the country then everyone wins.

Agree with that. MPs should be much much more competent and more highly paid.

As always with every single opposition party, they'll vote against a bill because of the implications or because it's not how they would handle it and then the people in charge will accuse them of wanting to see starving kids or dead grannies. It's very irritating but that's politics for you whoever is in charge. It's one reason I had a bit of respect for Andy Burnham in local politics when he praised the Conservatives for doing something he thought was a good idea. I'd like more of that on both sides quite frankly but tbf labour have done an absolute shed load of bad stuff over the last year.
