These are not unreasonable arguments you make, except, "There is evidence they learn from mistakes". There really isn't, and that is what's making the fan base angry. Sixth straight manager with no experience of promotion or managing in the Premiership. Second in a row with no experience of being a professional footballer, and a continued aversion to buying proven quality experienced players over youngsters to bring on and sell. Not to mention a zealot like belief in three cbs and playing out from the back !!!!

All British institutions will be hammered. Its what Putin and Trump want/ expect from their lapdogs.

Its too cold for our wimpy players and they're mostly shit anyway. 3-0 Boro.

Bazuna will play it out to THB, THB will square it to Jack Stephens, Millwall will push up hard, Jack Stephens cant find an out in midfield, shits himself and plays it back to Bazuna who will restart the exercise until either JS, THB, or Bazuna drops a clanger and Millwall go one up.

I think it unlikely SR will change manager again before the end of rhe season. But if and when they do it will be SR choosing the new manager so manage your expectations accordingly.

Brum 3-0 win. We have a truly appalling defence that we expect to play out from. Until SR fuck off things aren't going to get better.

Greens aren't going to damage the BBC.

Tonda has seen what we can do at our best, and he has also seen us v Millwall, second half v WBA, and v Norwich. He now has the full picture. If he is any good we will see him trying to find a solution to teams playing a high press and closing us down before we can play into midfield. If its the same old story then i think we can file him away as another example of an SR fuck up. *NB Coventry might not play so high a press, leave space, and we run away with it like v Charlton and Leicester but I wouldn't bet on it.

I presume we have a goalkeeping coach, what the fuck is he coaching him ?

Sad but true.

The problems were there and obvious in the second half v WBA. They got in our faces, put crosses in we couldn't deal with and very nearly turned around a 3 goal deficit. Norwich did the same. Our inability to stop crosses or deal with them is inexcusable.

Clearly its been a false dawn. Same shit defenders making the same shit mistakes and a manager unable to change things mid game.

I've travelled to see England abroad back in the day, Belgrade and Belfast most memorably; but why anyone would travell to see England in a US WC is beyond me. Tickets costing a fortune, hotels costing a fortune, travel costing a fortune just to sit in corporate, sterile stadium with no atmosphere. And that's if they let you in once they've trawled through your online posts looking for criticism of the great Orange one. So just in case I win the lottery and consider a change of mind... TRUMPS A PEADO, AND MUSK SHAGS HIS SISTER.

FIFA = Wankers. Unarguable fact.
