And if we have to wait until after the international break to get a ‘good’ manager then so be it. I don’t get the fuss about getting someone in by Tuesday, as if it’s going to make or break our season.

Nathan Jones had the whole of the World Cup break to get across his style - we were shite. Will Still had a whole pre season to get across his style - we were shite. I’d rather they waited and got the right person than just appoint someone because they’ve got an international break to ‘get across their ideas’ - Poch and Ralph (as recent examples) didn’t seem to have an issue.

There’s no chance Rodgers ego will allow him to drop to our level.

Eckhart’s been playing 5atb with the 21’s so it’s hardly a massive shock he’s playing that formation here. Still depressing though.

Agreed, the absence of Sesay since pre season is really odd.

Why is it Rasmus, and not Spors who worked with Eckhart previously at Genoa? If he gets the job then it’s 100% Spors led.

Hes injured

Didn’t follow the game and have just read the OS match report, which referred to Bazunu making a flying stoppage time save to secure the win. Saw this thread and not the response I was expecting 😂

We could do worse upfront to be fair.

He’s still only 19, he’s got plenty of time to fulfil his potential. Clear he needs to adapt to the mentality of playing week in week out at the top level, but he’s working under the right manager currently to help with that. I am sure he will play for England one day.

Wouldn’t Carrick appointment essentially be going back to the same style of football that Martin had? And he’s had one fourth place finish and a couple of mediocre mid table finishes… a big meh from me.

I thought there was talk of Mousinho getting sacked by Pompey?

Couldn’t care less if he only plays 10mins here and there, it will be worth signing him to just kick the fck out of the cowardly slackers in training. A wonderful human being and hopefully someone to properly set some standards in that dressing room (are you listening Jack?)

The Chris Wilder reappointment philosophy.

As others have said, he’s done a very good job with the u21’s and is a highly rated / regarded coach. Danny Rohl, who a lot of people had rather we appointed, had also not managed a first team game until Sheffield Wednesday. But now is just not the time for yet another gamble. The place is far too toxic at the moment and we need someone with experience to try and right the ship - if this guy gets the job permanently he will probably get about 5minutes grace from the fans. Plus if the players couldn’t be arsed before, this guy is hardly going to get them motivated.

If Still is gone for this one, then wouldn’t be surprised to see an upturn in effort - but we’ll still lose.

What we need v what we will get are completely different, which makes the whole exercise feel pointless. We need a no nonsense manager, who’s going to keep it simple and kick some fcking realisation into these useless weapons (players and ownership). But SR aren’t going to let that happen, so just going to be more of the same.

I have it on good authority that this is accurate.

I think today is the final straw for me, hence voting sack. I do feel for him in some ways, all the transfer business we did but still didn’t sign a quality GK or a ST to fit the profile he’d have wanted to get on the end of crosses. But it’s yet another pre-season totally wasted and there is no identity whatsoever in what we’re trying to do. I agree with S-Clarke though, replacing him isn’t going to sort anything out. SR are the root cause and until they sell up and fck off nothing will change. 4 wins in 48 league matches. Absolutely unforgivable.

Still referenced Fellows as being ill at half time the other night (weird why he bought him on if that was the case, but anyway..), sounds to me like an S&D bug.

Hopefully getting rid of them.

Raspberries should be blown in their general direction, perhaps pull some faces too.

They are getting away Scott free from abuse from the masses, performance under them has been diabolical. They should be getting hounded out of the club.

Don’t think you can put today on the manager. Not his fault they missed the chances they did and if one goes in like it should in the first half, then it probably plays out in a different way. It’s hard to see when a corner is getting turned though. The squads still way too big which makes it harder to manage, yet we still don’t have a striker (fit) that suits how he wants to play. That said, he can’t seem to settle on a team or formation and we look embarrassingly mediocre. Despite a full pre-season and two international breaks, we’re not really improving. The club is rotting and has been for some time, Still could leave tomorrow but it isn’t going to get any better I’m afraid.

The script is written… step forward Double D.
