Assem knows that the current form is pressing the deal forwards. That's why Grant won't be sacked until the takeover either concludes or fails.
Just to remind everyone we signed Magennis and Eaves when Grosicki and Bowen was at the club. They are still here. Unbelievable.
The bit where I say we occasionally play lovely football or the bit where I suggested we have some half decent larkers.
He's showing what he is. A promising 21 year old at championship level - but by Premier league standards a good prospect from the u23's.
We were expectedly ****, but how **** were West Brom? Not sure if McCann’s finally realised we need a tighter defence & then sort out the scoring side, or if we’ve always been defensive, even last season?
He won't have in 3 weeks. 5 at the outside. Did better than expected tonight. We were always gonna get beat but we showed a bit of resilience. I'm not complaining about that performance, although it's the Barnsley one that matters.
I dunno if he's finally realised that, we've been defensively solid all season. It's just the lack of goals that makes the defence more scrutinised when we concede the odd goal.
Correct. Our defensive record is not great but not awful. Our scoring record after the first day is what? 5in 15? Here's my problem with McCann. You play an open style with an attacking 'press' whatever he means by that. So you leave yourself open to conceding the odd goal, which we do. When you can't ****ing score though Grant, do you not need to park the bus and not lose the odd one, just to keep the points ticking over? Gat a solid foundation and make the occasional goal we do score count? Or are you gonna get sacked, plead poverty and get a league 1 job where naive thinking and a top 6 wage budget actually works?
