We won the first couple of games in spite of Shota, not because of him, IMO. Even in those games, we looked terrible, just the opposition gifted us the goals. Plenty on here didn't see it at the time, and I was shot down for saying so. Those injured are beginning to come back now and we still look just as bad.
Shota's done one...

Just saw the second Stoke goal online. It’s worse than I originally thought when I saw it last night. Ingram just flapped at it. He’s a great, instinctive shot-stopper (like the save against Smallbone) but anything where he has a bit of time to think, like set-pieces or a daisy cutter, he ****s it.
Distinct lack of belief and any real game plan again last night.
Empty seats already…
Allam’s GONE.

Tried listening to his post match conference. He's so painfully clueless.
Shota out
Dyche is available... No brainer for me

I never have been convinced by him. Appointing his friend stinks of cronyism bad mistake by Acun. His only one, way better options than this guy who only did well in Uzbekistan...
The start of the season we were lucky teams couldn't score past us. Besides Bristol City we haven't looked that decent. Brutal honesty
Seri, is our best passer by a mile. His strength doesn't worry me when he sprays the ball anywhere with ease. It's when Coyle, Elder, Jones and Smith can't control or slip that causes the issues.
Seri has proven hes a good player in many different teams
hes not the issue its shota’s gameplan
I think Swansea will be his last match, we’ll get a tonking 3 or 4. International break, Acun realises his mistake, convinces someone with a bit of managerial experience, knowledge & history about his dream & then new person has 2 weeks to train with players.
Alternatively, Acun takes over as head coach in all but name, sits on the bench, telling Shota where to point, instead of doing it from the stands.

The only time
He’s a luxury player for sure. He simply can’t play the role he’s playing in a team like ours playing the way we are. There is no real graft in our midfield.
Wonder if we could tempt David Meyler out of retirement. He’s exactly what we need. Along with a new manager.

I think he's out at Bishop Burton teaching kids to play football.
I’ve finally seen the finished project from Shota, this is what he’s going for.
Obviously he’s at the, get a free kick in the opposition half, then play it all the way back to our penalty area, stage. But it looks good.

that goal is absolutely orgasmic
and of course it ends with a fabulous ball by the goat kroos
their off the ball movement is world class, always always an option for a pass
Said it in match thread, I'll say it again, get Bieksa on the phone, at least the bloke understands the game, lovely fella is Shota, but I'm afraid for me he is so far out of his depth it embarassing. Then when ya listen to his post match interviews he just underlines his incompetence by looking all sad and shrugging his shoulders with sighs, sooner gone sooner mended !
We haven't exactly been doing Dyche-like recruitment - would he want to take over a side full of technical ability but no real grit? That's the opposite to his style of play.
Also saw Bielsa mentioned, but he was criticised and ultimately sacked for running his players into the ground and losing them to long term injuries. Again would that suit the players we've brought in with our injury record?
I think Bielsa was sacked for a poor run of results like most managers, players actually found him a breath of fresh air despite having to work harder.
Leeds fans I spoke to was because he wanted to work with a small squad, so refused to buy - but then ran them into the ground so the key players were never fit, hence the poor results.
They respected him for getting them up, but none were too devastated when he finally got the chop for that reason.
