And why didn't we let him bring his coaches? It's not like ours have been doing brilliantly.

It's the adaptation point that annoys me. Still has been unlucky with things out of his control in the last two games. Like you say, that second goal required two perfect deflections to fall to their forward, Archer missed a chance, Charles had a golden chance with a header... and we all know about the Swansea chances. But in both games, which are really starting to approach "must wins" if we're serious about getting into the top 2, the other teams made changes which helped them, and all our coaches and manager could do was swap the wing backs, or make like for like subs. Finishing last night with 3 CBs and one CM was retarded.

It's also on him. If he thinks our "old guard" have bad attitudes, play new signings. Play Roerslev, play Azaz, play Fellows. Scienza has been good. He obviously likes Welly. Armstrong is doing well and always busts a gut. Charles has been very good. Jander is new and has been good. So, who is he talking about.. ? Stephens, THB, Downes? Leave them out. Use new signings and U21s. At the end of the day, I simply don't believe we have a huge group of bad eggs, so he needs to earn his corn and manage anyone who is dragging us down. Edit: I should also add that, if this is a difficult bunch to manage, the appointment of Still obviously reflects badly on SR. If true, even more reason to go for an experienced manager with gravitas, not a nipper.

Maybe he could slot in as a 4th CB?

Macca Mads Wood Quarshie Welly Charles Jander Fellows Scienza Armstrong Aribo.

You honestly think Dyche or Cooper would have done this badly?

Good throw in, too.

Does it need to be more personal? "Sports Republic" is a facade. How about, "Fuck off, Solak" on a big banner?

He nearly completed a pass at one point.

No need to change anything. System is working. And if it isn't, just swap the wing backs around a bit.

System is working.

It's Russel Martin's fault. His presence haunts them.

Once they acclimatise and we switch to our exciting 4231, we'll be unstoppable.

Yes, but make sure they take Still and our coaches with them.

On comes Downs. Very important we leave the 3 CBs on, though .

Can't stand the prick.

Told you.

Played well first half but gifted them a goal. Gifted them two more goals second half. Done nothing to react to the shift in momentum other than the usual wing back swaps.

Smell my finger!

Pretty telling that such an average clogger had become Will Still's defensive lynchpin.

Pathetic.

Brilliant.

Fellows has caught the squits from Downes.

Scienza ❤️

Doubt it!
