So with both managers under pressure and struggling big time, who do you think will be gone 1st?
This is not a wum about City as clearly we gas aint in any position to gloat about! I mentioned a few weeks ago that for fun I would make a thread about when will SO'D get sacked. At that time Rovers were still undefeated at home and it wasnt so bad. Today Carry-On-Rovers reminded what I said. So instead of doing it for fun about City, as its now become serious for both teams, this is about about teams so dont treat this as a wum. Both sets of fans can take part if any reds decide to want to take part.
Ward saved Rovers last season and at time produced great football and brought good signings and put Rovers in automatic promotion form. This season he has the same team as last season apart from Anyinsah, Hitchcock and Tounkara. He has suffered massively with injuries and been told by the board to reduce the wage bill so has been unable to bring in players to help out during the injury crisis. As a result he has been playing youngsters and playing players out of position. He has been using formations and tactics to defend trying to make us hard to brake down and hoping we get a chance and steal the game. However these negative tactics have backfired due to no real quality and no pace at all up top to create or take chances and individual errors at the back has costed us games where we have conceded late. Wards head has been called for by a lot on the OS forum mainly because its been 3/4 seasons where we have started the season ****e after so much promise and optimism and now cant bear anymore crap that is being offered. The negative tactics/formations and playing players out of position has had a massive impact on people wanted him gone. Signing Bond who is a CM when we needed a winger was crazy and then he decided to play Bond on the wing! Answers on a post card with that. Decisions like that makes it hard to defend Ward and more and more gasheads are losing patience.
SO'D hasnt won a league game this season and now sit bottom of the league. And apparently not won in 20 league games if you count the back to the end of last season where he couldnt save City from relegation. City are in a 'transition' period now where SO'D needs time to get the team/club in order under big financial constraints. Fans knew and understood this is a transition period where there would be lots of change at the club how they are run from top to bottom. The City fans who I am friends with and work with say they didnt expect to go up this season due to the transition period. However they didnt expect to be in the relegation zone either. Should be interesting tomorrow at work to hear what they think now City are now bottom. They also didnt expect the winless run to go on as long as it has done. They are worried about getting relegated if SO'D sticks around but are equally frustrated with some players who just are not pulling their weight. With the likes of JET and Baldock in the side, personally I expected better of them. Hearing SO'D on the radio, if his team performs like his pre/post match interviews (and I been told the team performance has been worse on some occasions) then they are in trouble.
One thing is for sure, if both Ward and SO'D remain in charge and stick to what they are doing, I think the both be gone, either walking away or sacked. They need to change something quick to save their jobs and the club they manager before the pressure just gets too much for Higgs and Lansdown.
So who will be the one gone first? And your reason why
