Surely this can't be true? If so, he needs to be let go immediately.
-
No thanks. Was absolutely dreadful both at S'ton and Everton.
-
This for me is just absurd. It's only one game. Even the best teams in the world have bad days sometimes. If confidence really is that frail, maybe we need to change the manager.
-
Oh please, you see this happening all the time, with all the top teams too.
-
This is where I'm at too. It's not like we bought some unknown entities from another galaxy. Why the hell isn't he getting them performing? And where has the team unity gone? It's not that long ago we were flying and beat Manure. I refuse to believe that 10 minute madness against Wolves is the sole reason we've gone to shit.
-
I think you'll find the list to be a little longer than just Berson.
-
Sorry mate, was probably a bit unclear. Yes, I did in fact mean myself. The theory is sound enough, we 100 % look like a team coached by Shakespeare.
-
This is almost believable. I suppose when you're hurt and desperate, you'll belive just about anything.
-
I was sure Dean would put it right tonight. Now I find it impossible to defend him anymore. Having said that, I don't want see him go either. I'm just glad I don't have to make that call. Are there any viable options available is another big question? Shakespeare certainly isn't one. If Smith goes, he has to follow.
-
Well that's simply unacceptable. Ings for one, is an established PL player. Half the world will know how to get the best out of him. Buendia isn't really an enigma either. We've all seen how he was effectively utilized at Norwich. I can give some leeway with Bailey. All in all, it's just not good enough, and as many have already alluded, we aren't even moving in the right direction.
-
I honestly thought at the time it was a totally brilliant move, replacing Jack with three quality players, that would give us more options. Little did I know they had zero plan on how to integrate them.
-
Saw only bits of the end and wasn't particularly impressed. You know we're really in the shit when Keinan's on the pitch. Sad times.
-
Well the fact that we had to buy a completely new squad upon coming up and barely scraping survival. Last season we already saw glimpses of what we're capable of. Then we lost our star player and talisman, which we leaned on too heavily imo. Now though, there can be no more excuses.
-
I agree. It's simply a question of semantics, and I like I said, I do think we've been inconsistent, but not really struggled. Norwich are struggling.
-
I agree, e.g. I too would have liked to see us win more games. Fact is, we've largely been inconsistent, which is to be expected at this point, considering the massive overhaul, rebuild or whatever you wanna call it. Bottom line is, change takes time. Sure Dean's been here three years, but I still maintain this is the season that will finally reveal if he's up to the task or not. I think we're all awaiting better results and more importantly, better performances. If it doesn't happen soon, he'll be history, and rightfully so.
-
I seriously doubt the owner or the board feel this way. We've obviously not won every game this calendar year, so I guess you could say we've "struggled".
-
If you say so.
-
It's hilarious how you time and again speak as if you know what the owners think.
-
Fair enough. Do you care to explain your view in more detail?
-
We can all see what's happening, or more importantly what's not happening. In general, football clubs are far too eager to pull the trigger. All good managers go through rough patches. This is Smiths first season where it's reasonable to expect more consistent performances and results. So far it's been below par, but not by much, all things considered, and we're still only a quarter into the season.
-
Sometimes in football, things change suddenly. I'm still hopeful Smith will miraculously turn this around.
-
Too me it looks worse than it really is. Whilst I wouldn't entirely disregard last seasons poor games, I think he should be judged more by the mitigating circumstances this season. Having said that, we've spent plenty and there can be no denying, we now have a proper squad, and should be doing a lot better. Next 2-3 games will be crucial.
-
I seriously doubt that the owners are as trigger happy as most on here.
-
Probably a good idea to stay away from this thread until we win again. Just a reminder to myself.
-
That simply wasn't good enough, irrespective of the ludicrous refereeing. Honestly, it's difficult to understand what we're trying to do out there. Think we need to go back to basics. Keep it simple, pass and move, make the ball do the work. Sure we've had injuries and whatnot, but we now have a proper squad too, so it's not an valid excuse for these poor performances. Smith is still very much the man to fix this, but we need a serious reaction next game. Also, all this talk of ROK and Terry leaving being the reason we're in a mess right now... please, give me a break.
