Papillon Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Three goals at the back and six yellow cards - what the hell happened at half-time? Pathetic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) And another thing, our discipline is shocking. 7 yellow cards today, and we've been racking them up in previous games. He needs to sort that out sharpish, or we are not going to have a team to put out in a few weeks. Edited August 27, 2016 by andym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think di Matteo's careers over after this if things don't improve soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 His record bar Chelsea's incredibly fortunate CL win is questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I honestly don't think he's the main problem here. The stuff we're seeing we've been seeing for years and I guarantee that if we got rid of him now the same thing would be happening regardless of who came in. I'm convinced it's something intangible, a sort of mental block that runs through the club and infects any new arrivals. We've spent so long being poor, so long collapsing whenever teams attack that even when we're playing well (which we've actually done for periods of every game this season bar Luton), everything is in danger of nosediving at the slightest push. I think the only way out of it is just to start winning more but that's obviously going to be very hard when we're stuck in this cycle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So how long does he get? If the aim is promotion we can't afford to fall too far behind... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Should have more time to gel the team however I haven't seen any tactical awareness from him that you need to get out of this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Two points behind Burton and Blues crushing Norwich today doesn't make things any easier for RDM. Good first half team and shocking second half one makes you wonder what is going on with the coaching. Edited August 27, 2016 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get another another high profile job Depends how the media frame it I guess but I think with every manager we go through the damage to their reputation when they fail becomes less and less. It's pretty obvious now that the problems here are deeply rooted which go beyond even the managers and the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I dont want to hear one **** person use the word positives. We've won 1 game in 6 attempts. There are NO positives whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Would still like to give him more than 6 games before judging. A really disappointing at this start but I'm interested to see what happens when his team is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If we don't come out of the the forest and brentford games with 4 points at the very least he's under serious pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'll be honest, I NEVER rated RDM. He's the most vanilla manager ever. I'm not writing him off whatsoever, I want him to do well but it comes as zero surprise that we've started like absolute shit. I cannot believe I was positive a few days ago. What a mug I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 This is his squad so he has yo take responsibility should this continue. One win in six is pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yes we're all disappointed with the result (can't say performance as I bet 90% of people, me included, didn't watch). But there is so much hyperbole on here. RdM needs time to shape this squad, the way we play, the mental and physical attributes it all takes time. As for saying we are below Blues who gives a ****, there are 40 games to go this club has been a shambles for such a long time that the repair job is massive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about being below blose at this stage but what I care about is they have a poorer, squad spent significantly less than us yet after getting thumped last week they batter Norwich and bounce back. Do our players bounce back after a bad defeat? Nope they just continue to be shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm starting to see why RDM kept reiterating that this was a 2 year project. P.S. Leaving Gabby out, even,on the bench at this point is farcical IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
