Former Villa player puts in a shift against Birmingham. Let’s see if he brings the same attitude to other matches. Based on what we’ve seen so far, I’m not holding my breath.

I personally think (and have always felt) that Ipswich would be a shoe in for an auto place. They’re nicely positioned and seem to be finding another gear. I reckon they’ll win the league. Coventry have got a buffer and have played well so far, be interesting to see if they can keep that up when injuries and suspensions mount up. They’ll be disappointed if they don’t get autos now. If Tonda can keep it up then we’ll be in with a shout. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Us, Ipswich, Sheff Utd and Leicester all end up in top 6, which is exactly what you’d expect with the financial arrange we all have.

I must have missed your posts about all the positive bits then, my bad.

Lol, do you ever post anything positive? If you can’t enjoy a deserved 3-1 home win then why bother.

Agree with this. People putting points parameters on the next 2/3 games, “he should be getting a minimum of x”, “if he achieves Y he should get job” etc - I just want to see continued improved performances. It’s been such a long time since we’ve had that and certainly not seen any of it this season. If the performances continue in same vein as Saturday, then he probably deserves the job (points gained or not).

Pffft, I think the warning signs were there when he first played Football Manager.

Hanging out the back of Russell?

So what, we’ve got defensive issues ourselves in that our GK and most of our CB’s are shit.

Surprised you’re not more impressed, considering it was against your mate Nath.

Blimey, perhaps the players DO actually like playing for this guy.

Hard to know how we will cope playing against a team managed by one of the fittest humans in history and pound for pound best manager on the planet. Dont think we’ll get near them. 2-0 defeat.

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.
