Dr_Pangloss Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Actually, in a perverse way, is Black giving us what we want? I.e. a forum to actually slaughter all of our worst players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I know he has had a busy week but if he thinks this group of 11 players is the most likely to win us a football match then he doesn't have a clue. Do one Eric! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 i think he knows it wont win a game, its clear we have better players not even on the bench, theres got to be a logical explanation for it surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think I hate him more than Garde and Sherwood. At least they had the justification of trying to survive to justify shit decisions. What's this guy's reasons for picking the same shit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Put the tea lady in charge. I don't want to see this shithouse pick another eleven or make a substitution ever again. clearing in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Take him out back with Lescott and co. and get them as far away as **** possible. WHY would he take Ayew of, our only decent player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly no more hammered than the 'first' team are every week. I meant hammered by the opposition. If the current shambolic lot get hammered, then they deserve it. If the kids do, then they don't. I think protecting the kids is a wise thing, personally. Putting them in when/if they're not ready is not fair on them, however rubbish the first team is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It's hardly building their confidence saying that they are worse than this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to an extent, but think a couple more could be 'blooded' without doing them any long term harm. They would be well supported (by the fans not their team-mates!) and the young'uns tend to play without the same fear. There is definately more he could do than just keep picking this lot for the remaining games! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree - maybe as subs or whatever. I genuinely don't know enough of their abilities as a group to think that chucking a load in would be a good idea. If one or two are ready-isa, then yeah, do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll likely come away unscathed in that respect due to the circumstances, but if I were a prospective employer, I'd be having a look elsewhere!

trekka Posted April 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) As Blandy has alluded to, his hand might be tied and it would be wrong for all of us to lambast him for what is a pretty dire situation (and we don't know the full facts). Dropping first-teamers and throwing in the youngsters to the fire pit would be wrong. Let the players in the current squad live up to the fact that they are ultimately responsible for the state we're in. Most should be shipped out but Westwood did well today. It is now a challenge for the current squad to prove why they shouldn't be discarded, why they should play proper football, and if anything, why they should be playing in one of the top leagues. (for what it's worth, I thought he was wrong in subbing Ayew even though I doubt he'll be here next season).
