    Just play the obvious best XI in a favourable formation, Still hasn't tried it yet.

    Will Still has no excuses after this. No bad misses, no big cock ups. The team worked hard. Just poor, poor management and tactics

    But enough about the Match Day Thread, its the football team that needs a new leader.

    Can't tackle, can't pass, can't control, can't shoot, can't run, can't read the game, and most importantly, can't rely on the man in the dugout to do anything about it.

    What a ****ing omnishambles.

    I don’t think people have overestimated our team and summer recruits.

    We did mess up with Downs, but the rest of the squad should be nowhere near the bottom of the league.

    The managers tactics etc are appalling. Negligent perhaps.

    And we simply must change him as we will very likely go down with him in charge.

    SR need to come out and apologies to fans and admit they totally got it wrong, yet again.

    I actually feel this is all going to get worse before it gets better.

    Yeah it’s becoming increasingly evident that a personality is what is needed. Not someone with no personality like Still. Who that is I have no idea. Not sure if someone like Carrick fits that mould as don’t know much about him

    If Spors isn’t already on a flight to Turin and has a major say in th appointment I think we could be looking overseas again

    Fellows and Azaz changed a fair few games last season with their goals and assists. Scienza looks class and Armstrong has scored 20+ goals in this league at least twice I think. We have one of the best attacking units in the league but have no clue how to use them

    He's a counter attacking manager and does not have a clue how to set up a team on the front foot, sack him immediately and give us a chance to save the season.

    Which 6 teams have a better squad?

    The whole “last season” doesn’t wash either. Sheff Utd got 3 more points than us and got 92 points in the Champ. It’s a ****e league that a side with our financial capability should be doing a lot better in. It comes down to poor management ultimately and SR have once again shown they can’t appoint a manager

    Id suggest there are many adjectives that could be used. Could be an amusing game really.

    Better than the depression of our club.

    I suggested last season that we only change Thread owners when we win.

    I was quite serious and think this is the only pragmatic way out of this.

    We need a new manager, but we'll still struggle to get anywhere near the playoffs imo. Still far too many change needed to the playing squad.

    Perhaps we could all write a sentence each. No one word sentences though.

    Where’s loading gone, haven’t seen him around for awhile. Probably got the right idea and ****ed the season off

    Oh I’m not thinking about playoffs.

    I think we need a new manager to avoid relegation and the prepare us for next season.
