Unbelievable. You are an idiot. The best managers are always the ones who are the slow burners. I'm happy to give him a chance. We are not great but if you think one of your sexy French coaches would have waltzed in and we'd be winning 4.0 ever week you are even more off your head.
We're 7th in the league, very much in the playoff hunt and the new manager has only had 11 days in charge.
Sadly, some of our fans are showing themselves to be the modern, entitled kind of supporters that I despise.
He was ****e until the last 5-10 minutes.
Dan Neil was head and shoulders above the rest of our players, tonight.
He's more than capable of being brilliant for us, but he's also more than capable of being lazy and anonymous.
IF he was a good as the fans think he'd be the first one on the team sheet.
I thought the Hull performance was decent. Just me or is there a bit of revisionism going on here?
I cant remember them ever saying 'i want to play pritchard every single week but cant'. They might have been unhappy that we didnt bring in enough experience but doesnt mean they wanted to start pritchard every week n were told not too. In fact when they did play pritchard a couple games in a row he was poor.
Pritchard is quality when he is on it but he isnt consistently quality- if he was he would have had loads of teams interested in signing him in the summer
He is a tidy footballer who i love watching when he is on it but he isnt consistent and he is zero goal tbreat
You are making out that he is a superstar, good player yes but an inconsistent one so dont do thjs whole hes not french so he doesnt play. When the french players barely start n he gets more minutes than at least one of them (the other isnt used in the same posiiton as him)
Id like to think any prospective manager would have been studying highlights of our previous games to see where things could be improved. It’s the least I would expect when interviewing someone in the final stages.
Literally nothing has changed at all

I want someone who actually makes decisions mate. Not the DOF and assistant coach running the show.
Why not give it to Dodds ? Look at the team and set up. It's his.
Yeah and prehab would have sacked that Bournemouth coach after his slow start. Give him a chance ffs.
Neil is criminally underrated by some, so young still. Can see no reason why he can’t follow in the footsteps of other academy players who have gone on to play for England

Aouchiche has more goals.
Aouchiche produces more xG per 90.
Aouchiche has more shots and more shots on target per 90.
Very similar passing stats.
Pritchard is more creative in terms of chances created and xA.
Aouchiche is a better dribbler.
Aouchiche has more tackles and interceptions per 90.
Aouchiche has won possession in the opponents final 3rd more.
So I guess to answer your question, it depends what we are looking for. If we need pure creativity Pritchard is your man, if you want anything else Aouchiche is the better option.
They both deserve minutes, and they both should eat in Jobes minutes as the 10.
Jobe takes them as well mate but doesnt get included in this as jobe has actually had a good season
I can’t stand Elon Musk’s dung heap of a platform. Who is it?
Na, we’re only playing our foreign players at the insistence of Speakman. You know like Hemir, Rusyn and Mayenda.

He is just better than all of the ones we have brought in for nearly 2 years mate.
Players and ex players agree. So does the ex managers who left. Look at Tones Millwall comments. Clear as day.
Leader of the Anti Beale gobshites right here. We got between and didn’t lose a tough game.
By the way, if Pritch had played all the games you wanted him to play his calf or ankle would likely be keeping him out of the squad. He’s a cracking player I agree on that but he can’t start every week so he doesn’t. I think having a 10 behind a 9 is key. Aouchiche was like a school boy up there, we need horses for courses and it meant they all looked forward having a forward. We just need the club to deliver the right forward.
