Match Day Thread WBA v Hull City

[Mckechnie Orange]

...I agree, but would recognise also a big risk of getting the wrong person in too!
McCann & Byrne (add Darnborough too) have to go, and a takeover has to happen, otherwise we are down irrespective, but it sounds like the new owners could be taking a massive gamble with who they bring in?

Who are they bringing in?

Who are they bringing in?

I don't know. I'm just commenting on speculation about for example that Georgian guy or a Turk. Imo it's been good to hear more recent speculation about current and previous Championship managers

My educated guess is a DOF with links to Turkey and a coach from either here or another top European league.

Theres starting to be a bit more chatter among the wider coaching fraternity now as there's a couple of names been sounded out.

... until Eaves came on and caused them a few panic attacks at the end ...'

I think you're confusing panic attacks with hysterical laughter. Eaves' performance was summed up when the WBA offside trap failed and the ball dropped to Eaves a yard ahead of the nearest defender. He actually managed to bring the ball down with his first touch, had KLP in space alongside him, miscontrolled his second touch, miscontrolled his third touch, and the ball clanged off him to one of the chasing defenders. Classic.

Similar thing happened when Coventry gave him the ball in the box, couple of **** touches to give them time to recover.

I didn't realise Slater was an option, just a minutes he's not. With the midfield options we have, it's not working, the midfield is suppose to be support for the front 3, but stupidly, we play the same system week in week out, and what do teams do overload the midfield and outnumber us. So any support for the forward is more or less non-existent.

I never said Slater was an option clever twat. I stated that the correct 3 would work, ie last seasons 3, which included Slater and not Smallwood. Instead we decide to sign a loanee who we now don't play, and 3 other midfielders that also don't play very often. We knew Honeyman was going to be out injured and we also knew Smallwood wasn't upto it. We also signed a striker that we had been chasing that also doesn't get a game despite our woeful lack of goals, and a Brighton loanee, who looks out of his depth gets a game, along with a donkey we tried to ship out, an uninterested lazy twat, and a young kid out of position.

That could be down to how well we played ,with a few tweeks and a change up front possibly T Smith and longman given a few games to establish themselves there's a lot of doom and gloom merchants ready to bash the team but I've watched the last 3 second half's and it's not all been terrible we are lacking a threat up front.

By the time you have joined the watching masses the 'oppo' are already in the lead and cruising. That is why we might not look absolutely ****.

 

[Evington]

According to McCann, dropped because Jones was fit to return and had trained for 10 days with no problems. He implied they now think something is up with his hamstring that needs further investigation because of how he keeps injuring it.

McLoughlin was on the bench over Bernard because of his recent performances from the bench.

No logic again then

Ab so ****ing lutley.

Comical in the extreme.

How he earns a living as a footballer I do not know.

They could be bringing Mickey Mouse in...oh hell they can't.......we've already got him!

We are basically saying the same thing, I agree 3 would work if the quality of the 3 was much better but unfortunately they are not. As it stands, we need to improve the mid-field, Tom H does that, but until he is fit and back then we need to play a system with what players we have that suits, and as it stands IMO, we need more numbers in mid-field, which 352 gives, and we did look a lot better going forward in the Boro game, which kind of proves it, but this manager either hasn't the balls to tell Ehab 433 is not working we need to change the club's Philosophy or he is told inept. It could well be both.

Been saying that (in bold) several times over past weeks. And that's exactly why he's wrong fit for us.
