It does feel like the heart and soul of the club is gradually being sucked out by these parasites in charge, the supporters have had enough and can now see what their master plan was to recoup their so called gift to the City, its a crying shame that almost ten years of unqualified success is ending in a whimper like this because of 2 vindictive twats taking their bats and balls home. While I have seen some twats at the helm of our beloved club during my 47yrs worth of supporting this club, some being criminals, it just feels like the Allams tenure is probably the worst of the lot, because of their attitude and greed.
I've read, in recent weeks, that we are mid table and will not be relegated. Well it's time to review that. And some.
I said before we have had bottom of the barrel, outside the box, then slutsky, who we get next god only knows.
Cardiff aren't doing bad considering they have someone many of our fans sneer at and have declared they would never want in charge at City.
If we are not going to have the excitement of promotion or fighting for a play off then at least a relegation dog fight keeps some interest going.....so long as we survive. Avoids mid table mediocrity. This is all so sad. It really does feel.like the club is falling apart for the first time in the last few games the players don't seem to be up for it, the fans have departed, slutsky is a nice bloke but is he up to,it? The owners have stripped the club of its soul, all so different from when they saved us from oblivion. We have ended up in the same place where all those other badly run clubs we used to look at were at , thinking we wouldn't end up in the same ****e as them. Well we are in the same position and I can't see a way out.
The Allams are twats , we all know that - but we should be able to produce better with what we have - The defence shows no signs of improving , constant team changes, questionable subs - Slutsky isn't the man for the job, **** knows who is , but with him in charge it will be a long winter ahead
Just got back from the game. I could sum it up in one word, but I've got a few things I'd like to get off my chest. 1. While Henriksen has been terrible, Irvine didn't look much better. He didn't stay with his man for the second goal and allowed the cross. He gave the ball away a lot and even though as a team we lacked a final ball, he was the main culprit for killing our attack. 2. Meyler was crap, again. The whole team obviously has confidence issues, but if he's supposed to be the voice in the changing room and the self-titled bloke who wants to grab the team by the balls, he needs to stop talking about it and ****ing do it because at the moment he's having zero influence on the games. He picked up in the second half and we saw a bit more of the Meyler I've come to enjoy watching, but overall his contribution wasn't enough tonight. We need the other Meyler back, this one isn't doing us any good. 3. Why don't our fullbacks overlap anymore? I can only assume this is an instruction because neither Aina or Tomori are doing it, but it's killing our forward momentum. 4. Which brings me nicely into this one. Where has our tempo gone? We lack any sort of pace going forward and the sideways motion of the passing is allowing teams to get men behind the ball. Boro completely man marked us out of the game and pressed us from minute one, whereas we seemed happy to wait for them to cock up. It wasn't until Dicko came on that we began running at the opposition and challenging. That isn't on and whatever we're doing isn't working. 4a. Why don't we have a midfield? How is the opposition able to so easily pass between defence and attack? We never used to let that happen when Huddlestone and co were here? Do we miss them that much? 5. I like Slutsky as a person, but I can't see him delivering a bollocking. Apparently, that isn't happening because any manager worth their salt would have torn the lads a new arsehole after that first half tonight and indeed the first half against Forest. It feels like the half time team talk must consist of "there there, it will get better I promise" and some hugging and general noncery before they trot back out for more of the same. I'm starting to lose faith in him, I really hope I'm wrong but he doesn't seem to be able to motivate these lads and fire them up. 6. What the hell has happened to Michael Dawson? When Boro had a corner, I heard a voice rallying the troops. But it wasn't Dawson, our experienced head of over 200 Premier League games and former England international. It was young Max Clark, fresh from a loan spell at Cambridge in League 2. If Dawson isn't firing the lads up, then who else can they look to for guidance? Come on Daws, give the lads a bollocking if it's needed. 7. Tomori played alright, I'd start him ahead of Aina. That's all. 8. Fans leaving early is disgusting, in my opinion. There's no excuse and if there's one thing I imagine sinks a player's heart more than anything, it's seeing thousands of fans leaving on 80 minutes. That'll get 'em going. Imagine just giving up like that. There was no conviction behind them leaving, they just sheepishly shuffled off and looked at the ground when myself and a few others started asking where they were going. You sit down and support these lads because they've got **** all else at the moment. Sorry for War and Peace, but after three very bad performances, I felt compelled to speak out. Not that any of you will read it once it's consigned to a previous page.
I actually joked to the person I was sat with upon seeing the yellow that a red, as it would have been under the old rules, might have suited us better. Then the ref obliged of course. Though I have no idea what he did. Looked like a straight red to me so he must have called the lino a **** or something? Have to say I quite enjoyed Irvine's absolutely mental rant at the lino when he gave the 74th Boro free kick of the game.
Not sure do we look towards an experienced English manager who's out of work or look at someone like Alexander at Scunthorpe. I'm going again on Saturday but whatever happens I don't want to see Slutsky in the dugout.
