danceoftheshamen Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) At the end of the day it's obvious that we are in the midst of a massive restructuring of the team so surely it's ridiculous to expect us to gel for a while yet? Yes last night was dismal but I think the issue is some are still clinging to the hope we make the playoffs this season. A ship which has sailed already unless a miracle happens now. A few issues have become apparent as to why we have had such a poor season thus far with "Gate gate" among them. We also lost our only decent striker to the AFCON which clearly cost us points also. It it what it is though, a rapidly changing team, new coaches and 2nd manager this season. It's gonna take more time yet which surely rules out a promotion push this time out. Looking positive for a proper go at it next season though especially with a bit more work over the summer. Only chance this year is if we go on a humungous winning run starting within the next few games at the latest..you never know i guess.

theboyangel Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Hopefully he can advise Bruce clearing his locker better than he can advising our players how to clear the ball. Edited February 11, 2017 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 And of the 7 lost, 5 have been the the last 7 and the 2 draws also came in that period. Don't know what he's started doing but he needs to bloody stop it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The buck doesn't stop with the assistant manager....however SB doesn't strike me as a hands on coach on the training ground....much like MON he seems someone who'll just watch training and step in when necessary. Calderwood was very defensive when he was a manager....Forest fans were sick of him by the end. Since he's turned up our performances particularly away have been negative....Brighton we attacked right from the start, we've rarely done that since. He'll be the hands on one on the training ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If he is causing all this crap he must be the most influential assistant in the history of football. And that would raise the question what is Bruce actually doing to allowing all this to happen? I'm all for replacing Calderwood, but the buck stops with Bruce. As manager he is responsible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wezbid Posted February 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2017 If Calderwood is so evil, why were Brighton not hindered by his coaching? It's getting desperate now, just insulting and calling for heads, right, left and centre. I've no defence for him but I've no real attack on him either btw. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted February 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2017 Every assistant manager since (and including) Keane has seemed a good appointment on paper, and then turned out to be terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure we had any momentum? We'd just lost to Leeds 2-0 A lucky 1-0 v Wigan Lost 1-0 v Norwich 2 wins, 1 unconvincing & 1 lucky QPR 1-0 & 2-1 v Burton A home draw 1-1 v Leeds and a disgracefull 1-0 defeat v Cardiff Momentum at playing shit yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
