Agree we have a decent squad, just need someone to motivate and get some discipline instilled. We have gone from tippy tappy to hoofball. We need a medium between the two. Gave the ball away so easily today.
Bit harsh to say Boro are doing far better now. Edwards is in the honeymoon period, and Carrick did just as well, if not better, when he started there. Also, he built the team that Edwards has there now. Defo the best choice of that lot.
Red Bull links and more the type of person that SR like. Would be seen as risks by many here, but they both have big pedigree.
Can't see any benefit of sacking Will Still. The perfomances are exactly as i expected and i did not see any improvement until November. I think we need to give Will Still more time. Unless we are in the relegation zone on January, he needs to be given the whole season and then make decision. I think the signing of a striker in January and bringing in an experienced coach will improve things. Do not see Still being culpable for failure to signing a proper forward.
Will go down if WS stays. I cant believe anyone thinks he should stay! The players are not playing for him.
It's pretty obvious to me, that the players have no respect for Still. Unfortunately after today, he has to go.
Couldn’t watch today as had work, but result alone he’s gotta go now for sure. Sounds like he had a shocker bringing Stephens on for Leo. I saw the score at half time & really thought we might go onto win today, but alas Still has ballsed it massively! Absolute not a clue who we get in next.. Carsley would be my pick tbh. Wanted him when we sacked Russ Martin & he’s my shout to throw into the mix
I'm sending my CV off now. I mean I'm utterly clueless and useless but lose about 6 games and then I get a pay-off with more money than I have earned in my life!
Im not necessarily wanting him to stay, ive just lost all interest in who manages us right now - because I have no faith in SR to appoint a decent manager. I just feel it'll be more of the same ****. There's something rotten in the club that goes far beyond the manager and players, and that rot is called Sport Republic.
There in lies the rub. We all know, if we are being honest, that any replacement manager will be 'cool' and be a 'surprise' appointment, but also not up to the task. Any revamping of the squad, should it happen at Christmas, will be equally as mystifying and uninspiring. We know that this season, and perhaps a few to come, are basically a waste of time and we should probably try to enjoy the few victories we might see.
I'm one that was ok to give him time but that needs to correspond with some progress and whilst I accept mistakes will happen we keep making the same ones and when that happens something has to change or you'll just keep repeating it - that doesn't outright mean sacking but something has to change somewhere.
The ten games since the transfer window is up and he's still doing the definition of madness (playing 3CBs) and we appear to be getting worse. The catastrophic in game management today against a poor Blackburn side has probably sealed his fate with the fans imo. I also think that there is a low morale issue with the squad which I believe will be very difficult for him to turn around. He's probably a good guy but we have to give someone else a go before it's far too late to salvage the season.
