rodders0223 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The team is down, you have nothing to lose, you aren't going to get the gig regardless. You have free reign to do anything you want, go for it, play the kids, lambast the words removed...but no, lets go with kieran, leandro, scottie and joleon. What a boring, miserable tit. **** off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Dear Eric Black: thank you for reminding me how shit Kieran Richardson is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Talks a good talk. And then fails to back it up by putting out a team like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What on earth was that team selection today? What a tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 a classic case of not being able "to legislate for that" from kieran richardson for that miss to be fair. No point blaming Black too much really, he's clearly just doing his best job in difficult circumstances- and has no interest in taking it on full time, thankfully.

sne Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Can't wrap my head around that selection today. What was he trying to achieve, what point was he trying to prove. Is he afraid he'd be offered the job permanently if we manage to get a point? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Horrible horrible team selection, is there no way we can force the manager for our next match (be it black or someone else) to only use certain players and banish players like Richardson, Sinclair, Westwood, Lescott, Richards and others from the team ? we are down regardless. someone start a petition or something !

bradarmstrong_ Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 What is it with caretaker managers picking abysmal starting 11s. Nothing to play for and he selects Sinclair. Moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myko Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Doesn't have a f****** clue. The divide between the fans and the club is unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 He's took over the team in difficult circumstances. He didn't really sign up for this and he's not really to blame. However, playing it safe helps nobody. Although we've got no chance if it happening, we must aim to score one more than the opposition and win every game. We've tried it for years and its never worked, perhaps a bit under Lambert. Keeping it tight results in us putting pressure on a defence that is incapable of keeping a clean sheet. Get the fans on side at home and throw it all at them and see what happens. The sooner we get someone in, the sooner we can stop placating the players we/he doesn't want to keep.

dounavilla Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I think it was genius actually. Play all the players responsible for the position we are in, get relegated (sooner the better) & let the home fans give them hell. I'm sure Gabby would have started had he not whimpered out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 You wonder what these coaches with a 100m qualifications learn on these coaching course the FA do, I presume Black is a highly qualified coach. And he sends out that starting 11, there were 5 alone better picks from people on here in the pre match thread that would've got the crowd onside today.

a m ole Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) To give him the benefit fo the doubt I'm wondering if he thought there's nothing to lose and said to the players "Blank slate, I'll be fair and give every single one of you the chance in the remaining games to play and prove yourself". Let's see if Okore, Veretout, Kozak and Green get minutes next week. Edited April 9, 2016 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Oh no, not another sacking! (If this new Football Board thingy is working well, we should have a new manager lined up to announce once we are properly relegated, probably next week, and Black can be given the Golden Goodbye then.)

HeyAnty Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Forget even the team selection, the tatics were shocking. He was happy to send them out to get behind the ball. In the first half our 4/5 midfielders were playing about 2 meters in front on back 4. Like wtf did we have to loose. This is the way we have played tactically since he came in and its why i dont want another scotish manager. The majority of them send out teams not to concede and a goal is a bonus! He should have been booted with garde! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
