    Match Day Thread Norwich City Vs Hull

    No. Similar but they are made of stronger stuff. Although I wouldnt go Scottish either. Whilst British coaches may have a higher floor and less risk (although evidently that statement seems fslse). They are imo very limited.

    Match Day Thread Norwich City Vs Hull

    7 of bottom 8 are English. No English managers in top 10 of Prem. The English generally make awful managers. Barely any you'd call great in last 30 years. They just do not understand football like the foreigners......much like English players.

    Sounds fantastic. The scouting seems to have collapsed after Scott left

    I suspect when fit Forson wont even be able to hold a place in the team

    I like Schwartau but he's not really a passer. Its quite a big miss from his game. He's not playing people in. Not much one touch or vision. I would be playing him centrally mind to see if he's got it.

    Crap maybe strong. But they mostly all either squad or support. Of the outfield there's really only Mahovo, Darling, Mclean, Sargent who are good enough to play week in week out. Kvistgaarden, Wright,Fisher and Schwartau should also be playing but more for development. The rest are so limited...

    No thanks to Gary O'Neil. I don't see what he offers that will help. We need someone who can create chances for Sargent from the players we have. Needs to be a foreign coach IMO who can create a plan and has knowledge of foreign players for January......because we know we can't trust either...

    HOW LONG DO WE GIVE HIM ?

    Kick, shove and organise I don't think is the answer. We are generally ok defensively. We've not been smashed 4,5 by anyone. I say defensively ok with the context we are 2nd bottom . Its creativity we are completely lacking and what's put us as low as we are. I was ok with keeping Manning for...

    HOW LONG DO WE GIVE HIM ?

    I think the general consensus is the primary issue is with midfield. This is the area that has been our most successful I believe in past (Maddison, Buendia, Vrancic, Sara, Nunez, Sainz). We have nobody even remotely like this. Nobody with touch and technique and creativity. Theres really only...

    HOW LONG DO WE GIVE HIM ?

    How do you know it didnt cost us the game? The Derby goal was disgraceful by Mattsson. For a player to get round him from that position is mind blowing. Didnt even have the whereabouts to foul him. This also happened with Swanseas first goal. He got beat by player who passed to scorer. I...

    HOW LONG DO WE GIVE HIM ?

    Two goal instances he's been at fault for due to poor control and being weak. He's got no real standout attributes, he's not quick, not strong, no real passing range, 1st touch not great. These players are ten a penny in average football teams. I honestly don't see the point to why we signed...

    100% He has failed at every single level. Youth Player progression Managers Overpaid Signings Injury records Debt Playing style System Togetherness Concept Communication Leading All those things have plummeted since he took over. People say he got good money for players.....they forget they...

    HOW LONG DO WE GIVE HIM ?

    I don't think Manning himself is the person to turn things around. It's Kvistgaarden and Mahovo. Those two have the chops to play in positions we are struggling (apart from centre mid) If we still had Nunez and those 2 we'd be top six. Schwartau, and Kvistgaarden behind Sargent (or some kind...
