Afternoon all Nothing to say, just thoroughly fed up with the entire mess the club has created for itself, I think I need a few days not commenting and waiting to see what unfolds @Emu I was wondering where @milkyboy was myself and was going to ask the same question today if anyone had heard from him.
you forgot what if, come Sunday a new chapter could be written, to the tune of Oh come all ye faithful, miracles can happen please log in to view this image
Wonder have we time to squeeze one more manager in before end of season after Sam? That would break all records Id Imagine
It does, but if the season ended today we'd stay up on goal difference vs Forest. Everton a point behind us and 1gd behind (technically 2 due to goals scored). Realistic chance it could decide whether we stay up or not.
Yes coaching has changed......however, they all profess the same thing - the game is simple, and too many players over-think, rather than playing to their strengths. A good kick up the arse, or a cuddle, said Cloughy. I love honesty me..
So Victor and Javia are out and Big Sam is our new saviour. Orta had to go because he was such a divisive figure and even though he'd done reasonably well (until Bielsa leaving) the last 2 coaches turned out to be poor choices. On players, well it's one thing saying sign me Tyler Adams but quite another to actually make it happen, other quality aquisitions were Gnonto, Summerville, Harrison etc the list does actually go on and on. Only one major cock up really with Augustin, but hey we were desperate at the time and in the end still went up so whilst it didn't work out and was a hugely expensive mistake it also didn't effect the end target of promotion. Javi hit the ground running and to honest it looked like he was going to comfortably keep us up. However once the wheels came off against Palace he had no answers and in trying to fiddle with formations he looked lost by the end. Shame really as he was close to doing what he was tasked to do, but ultimately the players and the key injury to Adams cost him his job. Big Sam or should we be calling him Dyche Senior ? Well it's a last throw of the dice and why not, don't think he'll succeed because the players don't appear to have it in them and whoever came in would have a difficult task to rouse this group from their slumber. But hey who know maybe just maybe he'll pull it off. Final thought and that's that Radrizani is at least trying to stop the Titanic from sinking, unfortunately though when in non icy waters the wrong choices were made and now it's probably futile. However let's see how he does next season because when the invevitable happens we'll need him to step up and run the show having this time really learn't from mistakes made.
