    5 more incomings in a squad that was described as too big.... possibly too big to manage... who's in for anyone we want rid of...?

    Sister in law got an Evoque, the warranty took a severe hammering and the range of loan cars she had was very impressive in the 3 years she owned it.

    Two games in and Rosey is slagging off the players who were playing his system suggests some players have decided it’s time to go, it was as boring as **** last season, people suggesting stick with it, well we have and it hasn’t worked, Acun needs to sack Rosenior, get some good advice from outside the club to find the best available experienced manager?

    Rosey got the sack at 3rd division Derby and should have tried for a lower league team, the championship is a graveyard for foreign and new managers as we have seen at City.

    There’s a yank on YouTube who buys auction cars and the Range Rover was the only one he couldn’t fix, it had hundreds of faults with the electrics, lovely comfy cars, but like living in terror every time you get in one I’d imagine.

    I wouldn't run a Range Rover unless it had the manufacturers warranty in place, seriously complex cars and with the potential for eye watering bills.

    I extend my sympathies to OLM, driving his Rangey must be like playing Russian Roulette every time he goes to the shops in it. Loaf of bread and some milk could be quite pricey.

    I got stuck babysitting the wife’s kids as I forgot about the game when I signed her permission slip for an evening out . I was watching annoying American kids dress up as hulk and Spider-Man on YouTube , then had to go scrape cat **** out the back garden , but it appears I had a miles better evening then you who watched it ..

    What reactionary rubbish.

    Plenty of foreign and new managers have had success in the league, and saying it hasn't worked after two games is idiotic.

    They really are shockingly bad like old MG’s or something, just absolutely plagued with issues.

    There was one that went viral the other week that had spent more time in the garage than out, merely a week or two after extended warranty had expired its 2nd engine packed in and Land Rover refused to do anything about it other than offer a £2k discount off a new showroom model <laugh>

    The silly woman was still dead set on getting another one though because spending half your life sitting on the side of the road waiting for the AA is apparently ‘luxury’ she was just trying to get more of a discount.

    I've had 3 Range Rovers, all had so many problems. Lovely cars to look at and drive but just a pain when (not if) they break.

    I've got a few clients who have recovery truck companies, they all say they are the most regular manufacturer they recover.

    with all fairness Syd it isn’t after two games, I believe with this squad we should be far better then we are. We flattered to deceive last year and conceded a lot of good chances without threatening too much and got away with it most the time. A better manager would get a tune out of the side and people are starting to see it, we play without purpose or idea.

    I wonder if this whole playing out from the back crap is something Acun is insisting on.

    We started doing it under Shota, even when Figs was making mistake after mistake, we stuck with it. When Rosie came in we still played out from the back, still made mistakes but Liam said its how he wants to play..

    It could be bollocks but the fact that both managers Acun has employed decide to play like this makes me think it's his idea.

    It is still too early , while it same for all teams , always takes a few games for players to hit full speed and get to sharpness . I didn’t watch the game but while it looked an attacking line up , didn’t we only have 1 out and out midfielder? I thought it was a strange line up personally . Rosie talks a good game , but in fairness what has he achieved in the managerial world? He still has it all to prove , but at least give him to schools go back before hanging him out to dry , see how things look after transfer window

    He wants us to play attacking football with lots of goals as he believes that football should be entertaining and that goals and entertainment bring crowds. He won't accept another season of 0-0's. Him and Tan were absolutely fuming at the 0-0 last season when we did the ticket offer and had near enough a full house.

    Not sure who's getting the most grief this morning, Rosie, or Ranger Rovers.

    For now, I'm happy to give both the opportunity to get things fixed.

    On a tangent, steer clear of Mercedes too - more reliable but their dealerships think it’s ok to triple every servicing or repair bill.

    Rosie did well last season. Steadied the ship, we were more than hopeless when he came in.

    Expectations are higher this season in terms of both league position and how we play. He deserves the chance to put it right - he himself last night said it was hopeless and deserved the reaction the performance got.

    We need to judge after 10 games and not 1 league and cup game.

    Lets be honest here. Is there disconnect amongst the ranks? Guys hinting at players being unhappy. Now this about Acun being upset at boring football. Its getting ****ing concerning

    Yeah it's bloody concerning that Acun is trying to dictate a style of play when he hasn't a ****ing clue.
