As far as im concerned ,the jury's is out regards MP as manager/head coach, for the last month all we seem to have done is shipped goal's( I acknowledge the fact,that in two of the games we were down to 10 men) if we carry on in this vain , I can see the Allams pushing the panic button and sacking MP, after all when you stand back and look at it he's only on a 7 month contract and as we plunge to the bottom of the table, so does the value of the club and that will make the Allams take action, the alarming thing about yesterday for me was it wasn't one of the top teams that turned us over, but a team who we thought we might have had a chance at getting something from, next Saturday against Stoke going to be interesting, if we get turned over by them the natives might start to get restless.
I genuinely thought the Allams were stringing him along until the international break then get a new man in. The two sending offs glossed over the style of play, lack of coherent selection policy We were getting stuffed by Pool bwfore the sending off. Same with the Arse.
The stream of the game that I was watching (on FirstRow) showed the expression(s) on MP's face, now and again. It was NOT reassuring to anyone who saw those expressions.
Ive just tunes into the Huddersfield v Wednesday game and they're interviewing the Hudd's manager David Wagner. He was head coach of the Dortmund under 23's under Klopp and he's just said the Chairman said to him can you make our club or something or to that effect. Thats ambition. What have we got ZERO ambition, we have hope, but no ambition and the hope of our board are that 3 teams are worse than us at the season end.
Phelan lost my support yesterday. Shocking selection, poor tactics, complete lack of passion from the manager.
Didn't notice, probably because my hands were covering my face in horror at what was enfolding before me.
It isn't the easy option, I'd much rather go. The easy option was to pretend everything was fine and belittle those who could see it wasn't.
Maybe you're too young to remember the poll tax riots or going out on strike etc or standing up for your rights. If you believe in something you should do something about it. Not have an air of superiority over people who continue going. A lot of people didnt think it was fine but still kept going.
Pah! I was with the anarchists on an Aldermaston March when the filth put a linked-arms 'choke' cordon around us. Women and kids crushed and unable to breathe. We had to break the cordon, force our way out and run like **** up Whitehall.
The biggest difference between the first 3 games and the last two for we wasn't the skill level or adoption of a particular plan ... it was that ever player was running through brick walls to do what it took . It may be a simplistic POV but since we bulked the squad and had returning players , hunger and desire were removed from the locker room .
No. Just a call for consistency. OLM closed the Lily Allen thread. A shame as a few interesting things have come to light regarding a13 year old lad's dad. Not to mention a clip of the great humanitarian cracking a joke about gypsies which would have lefties in meltdown if Jim Davison or Bernard Manning had cracked it. Though they wouldn't have come out with such a poor attempt at humour.
I'm talking about people who not only kept going, but resolutely defended the owners when they were (rightly) criticised. Those seem people are making demands about sacking Phelan now. You mentioned my not going, not me. I protested in and out of the ground before deciding to stop going. Sadly there was never absolute opposition to the owners, which is my point. The people who defended them are now complaining the loudest, which would be funny if it weren't so irritating. It's not as if the clues weren't there, whining now is a bit late.
