    Looks like someone at the club might be getting sacked.

    So much for a fresh start !

    But if he hasn't been doing that well shouldn't he be given a new contract and a pay rise? At least that would show a new approach to consistency/

    Probably said VI didn’t deserve one which they didn’t take too kindly to hearing .

    I presume they blame him for the signing of Rajovic and others who have done very little although Ismael said he played a role too but too late to sack him now .

    A bit tough on Rajovic! He's only played in four full games, scoring three times, and has made four other appearances in which his minutes equate to little more than a full match. Add to that that he's really playing in a formation/role that doesn't suit his strengths.

    True - definitely seems to be a box player but we don’t really get many crosses in .

    Reminiscent of Ross Jenkins - pretty poor until GT took over and played to his strengths/paired him with Luther.

    Let’s hope he does the same .

    Maybe we need a quicker partner with him ?

    Yes what did he that was worse than normal ?

    Not leave the pitch in time .

    Got the impression the ref had enough of our poor discipline at the game .

    True and a few more players who haven’t done much .

    And there usually is a fall guy in these situations.

    Normally the manager!

    As usual he came with a load of hype and big reputation having worked at Frankfurt with some success but very different having money to spend and being a big German club to come here with limited funds and probably not a great appeal to many..

    As you say last season we brought 2 young players from Portugal not suited to the Championship.

    But as the Pozzo/ Duxbry and G man are so disliked they have been blamed for the recruiting this summer - even though Ismael himself said he wanted many of of the players signed.

    I think the main issue/worry is once again does this show the lack of long term thinking and stability at the club - now people are saying Manga didn't get on with the manager or didn't know about him even coming.

    All rumours and hearsay I guess but even Bilic said in the WO interview everything seemed a bit crowded with too many people trying to do the same thing.

    Ken Sema is out of the Sweden squad - the dreaded muscle injury still affecting him.

    We’ll probably see him next year !

    This is a bit sad isn’t it really ?

    The club trying to bring up a serious non football related issue which affects many people and all some can do is have a pop about the Pozzos and supporting the club.



    Maybe these people need to put things in some perspective ?

    Afterall it is only a game ..

    True but think that was meant to be a serious point /Tweet about mental health generally from the club itself rather than sent by Mr Pozzos or whoever.

    Not everything they tweet needs to turn into an anti owners/team/manager thing.

    Of course things like football can have an affect on minds particularly if they take it very seriously I guess.
