Nah Juric's team selections are taking care of making his life more difficult.

If true, it just shows what a cluster fuck this operation is.

Unfortunately we have much bigger issues than which formation to play.

Playing players in EPL games to see if they’re what you what you want in the Championship?? What could possibly go wrong? Fuck me, what a load of bollox. He fucked up, again.

It’s only fair to look at Juric based on his time here and the hand he’s been dealt. There are varying opinions on the cards he has to play with, I’m firmly of the opinion that we have a relegation squad, have been since August. As for what I’ve seen of Juric’s team’s performance, I’m not convinced. I see no patterns of how we’re trying to win games, we’re living off scraps. There have been some frankly strange selections and our shape often shows a barren midfield.

Smallbone, obviously.

That midfield 😳

Essentially the defence / midfield is not good enough no matter what the formation, philosophy, fitness level etc etc. The gap between the best in the championship and 17th upwards in the EPL is massive. Ipswich have probably made the best fist of getting the right players in, adopted and adapted a style and have a decent manager but even they are more than likely to go straight back down.

Do we have to?

This. I see no obvious pattern or where we are trying to cause the oppo pain. We used to worry about no Plan B (a term I fucking hate) but I don’t see a chuffing Plan A. The second half became ridiculous we had zero presence in the middle. At one point you could have drawn a circle with a 30m diameter in the middle of pitch and no red and white in sight. Poor. Just really fucking poor.

Let’s hear what our Graham has to say…. MB has had a mare, think what you like about the owners but enquiring about JWP, I think not.

Potent 😂 I guess it’s all relative.

It was a hard watch but a win is a win. Onwards and all that. Up the fucking Saints.

Can’t say there’s been much so far to suggest he’s worth sticking with. Not writing him off yet though.

Like many of the squad, there won't be a queue of Premier League clubs looking to sign him in the summer window.

Entrenched mentality my arse. We were more competitive earlier in the season than we are at present.

Watching abroad, sunny out and the steam has just gone. Good luck for the last 10 minutes.

I’ve not seen anything so far from Juric to make think he’s decent but it’s a bit early. I think it’s mainly 2 and 3, possibly a bit of 1.

What the fuck are we actually trying to do when we have the ball? I see no obvious direction, no cohesion, so slow to close down. It’s like watching 11 strangers.

This made me laugh more than it should 😂

BBD will be fine in the Championship this season for Chuff Utd and next season with us.

He got more chances than he deserved... in my opinion

Without wishing to appear rude, no. Best left where it is. Move on, look forward.

To be fair there is a lot utter bollox slung at the door of Martin. Considering there isn’t a lack of material that could be chucked in his direction the depths some posters go to link something to being the fault of the previous manager is frankly bizarre.

It, literally, isn’t.
