Selles was the only manager that joined a team at the bottom

Its silly to evem compare to lampard
Coventrys players are night and day to ours

Selles has taken us from bottom to 3 points clear with 3 to go
In our own hands

Almost all our attackers are injured

But i suppose another manager would have us scoring 3 goals a game

We're not 3 points clear though. We're 2 points clear now. We're one loss from dropping into the zone now if other results go against us. We had GD as somewhat of an extra point but that's now redundant as it stands. Today was a big bollock drop. Its not even the result. It's the entirely hopeless performances of the past 4 or 5 games in a row.
 
It's the sheer lack of urgency, send hughes forward and launch the ****ing ball, if its good enough for man utd last night then it's good enough for us.
We were in desperate need of a goal but we did nothing.
The line up on Monday needs changing yet again, kamara and alzate have to start and stick Joseph back out wide as well. It's really **** or bust in the next 2 games
 
Brady your positivity and enthusiasm is to be applauded. BUT to quote you he has done an 'amazing job'.. FACT he hasn't. or we would now be talking summer signings. to quote you Alex Neil has done an amazing job... FACT he has.... Lampard took over with Coventry in 17th. he's done an amazing job. Robbins took over a Stoke side in free fall, he's done an amazing job getting them out of it. Rowett took over Oxford primed for relegation, promptly won about 5 games and has kept them going, he's done an amazing job. even QPR manager has done an amazing job. Time to wake up to the fact that Selles is not what you think he is im afraid., But its all a matter of opinion and even if he won the last 3 games I wouldn't change my mind.
Fair comments TC.
I'm not yet in your camp, but after today and recent performances I am wondering.
He HAS to get it right and get us firing in these next 2. I'm left with blind faith but no confidence that he will.
Panda
Coyle Jones Hughes Macca
Alzate Puerta
Kamara Gelhardt (10) Joseph (or Burstow)
Pedro
He has to get Kamara believing he's a world (or at least Championship) beater and to work his bollox off. Rather than someone who looks like he's lacking in confidence, caught in headlights, unsure, etc.
Gelhardt central, roaming, causing a threat.
Give Pedro some service from centre and from wide. Something Selle's has failed to deliver game after game after game.
Wrong time unfortunately to bring Drameh and Jacob back in. Possibly same with Burstow, having basically demoralised them by shutting them out rather than blooding them in.
That starting 11 is plenty good enough to give it a right good go v Preston and Derby. Whether they will or not, twt.
 
Alzate was clearly struggling with fitness today
Crooks is like an amercian beer league player
Slater was ****
Puerta was even worse

Not many choices
 
So harass the linesman and delay the kick as long as possible, question the referee, how can the linesman see it when he cannot? create doubt, create confusion, all done to put pressure on the penalty taker and cause a delay. Its what most team do, except us.
We've got to be at the bottom of the $hithousery table. Need to get a Colin ****er in as a consultant in the dark hearts because we're way off the pace. Have been for as long as I can remember. Just to easy to bully and play against. Fecking amateurs.
 
Pedro's drop in form has come at the absolute worst time, he's carried such a good threat this season but since his sending off has been well off it. Joseph and Burstow at 5m for the pair has to be up there with some of the worst business we've ever done, think I'd rather have Wilks and Magennis

He’s defending more on our 18 yard box than been upfront. Not altogether his fault.
 
I must admit, I do find it hard to get some of the bollox you spout out of my head!
For example, a handful of games were still to play and you go round saying it's best for the very few teams below us to be playing each other as that means someone loses points. But it also means one or both gain points ... which means they gain points on us when we can't win. It's better if they play someone out of the mix and lose. Point proven today. Now both Cardiff and Luton can overtake us with just 1 win.
We have to find a win, maybe two from somewhere. God knows how coz we look absolutely clueless atm, and have done these past few games where we seem to have gone backwards under Selle's coaching, tactics, selections and decision making. And that is now seriously worrying.
Cardiff doing a good job of overtaking us aren't they. ****.
 
Why are we not playing like arsenal
With 50 year old pedro
Palmer n gelhardt ffs
 
I think I kind of understand what Selles is trying to do. 3 or 4 points is probably enough and our defence is good.

Save for a couple of dodgy referee decisions today - we could be talking about another decent away performance with an unlikely victory a la Sheff Weds.

We probably only need one of these next three games to go our way - maybe two if we need that extra point. Our attack is poor so try and grind out a result utilising our relatively decent defence and organisation.

That could still yet work.
 
When we eventually sacked Wallyball Walter, we had, “technically”, the choice of 3 managers, 2 out of work, Robins, Lampard & Selles. Whether Robins or Lampard were even in Acun’s conversation is anyone’s guess.
For me, the best choice was Robins, I didn’t want Lampard, too much drama attached to the big name & we become Frank Lampard’s Hull City & I knew **** all about Selles.
Looking back now, Lampard might have been the best decision, I still think Robins would have done the job well & Selles is an improvement over Walter is all I can say. Sometimes we look brilliant, other times bloody hopeless!
It just seems over the years, we’ve just been **** against **** sides, no matter who the manager has been!
 
Cardiff doing a good job of overtaking us aren't they. ****.
I didn't expect them to win today. They have Oxford at home next btw. And Norwich, with nothing to play for, to end with. If we don't win, they'll overtake us.
Btw, just to clarify, were you actually calling me a **** there?
