We were playing with 1 recognized cm in Westwood ffs. Yes persisting with that midfield was a bad idea. We should have shut up shop. RDM has been abysmal so far. The league doesn't lie, not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I'm not convinced by RDM in the slightest. You have to wonder how patient the Doc will be, taking into account the fortune that has been spent on this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have **** up with our signings this summer. We have totally neglected the key area of the pitch and as a result will never trouble the top half of the championship. Horrendous transfer window and we spunked near enough £50m. It's hillarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted September 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2016 He needs to start getting some wins and quickly because I don't see Tony as a man who will accept the current state of affairs for long. He has spent probably double what most teams in this league cost before you even take into account what we already had. . I don't care how it takes time for players to blend. We should be doing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 New team but still mentally weak. Plus haven't all the league goals we have conceded been in the 2nd half? That needs to be sorted asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't get what he's done wrong here? We've absolutely dicked on Forest, they've hit a screamer that has moved all over the shop and then a tackle has landed kindly at Lansbury's feet for an equaliser. That's all they did for an entire game. I'm not convinced doing anything tactically changes either of those things - we didn't slip up because of only having a 1 man midfield at the end.

It seems like almost every week, and fine margins are costing us at the moment. Hopefully that won't continue forever, and we will see ourselves on the other side of those fine margins very soon. I was saying this at the game, seem to strike it twice every game. It has unfortunately been small margins but at some point you have to make your own luck and just stick them in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just this game in isolation, then I'd agree. But it's not. We've been sloppy in most of our games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerbs Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Shouldn't have stuck with the one man midfield of Westwood after we went 2-1 up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I am by no means a tactical mastermind, but my first thought when we went ahead was to sub in a second midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Matteo made a mistake by not shoring things up sooner, but there has been a huge improvement in the quality of play compared to last season. It's of course literally true, it's madness to be insinuating "not getting results" after six matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) If we continue the same points to game ratio come December then Adios Amigo! Give the new gaffer a punt in the January window, I think we need a new gaffer by then to be consistent within the last 5 years Edited September 11, 2016 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been sloppy in most of our games this season. If dominating teams and creating the most chances in the league is classed as sloppy then we have our expectations set at an unachievable level. We will always make mistakes, most teams do, ours are being magnified because of missed opportunities. Words like abysmal are so not justified right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like RDM and want him to succeed but we can't keep saying "bad luck" after we keep throwing points away. We should have double what he have but we haven't. That's the long and short of it. I am not in any way advocating a change of manager but we need to start picking up wins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
