I think the big problem we have, is that due to the lack of midfield fight, we can't allow Bilal and Vardy to sit on the last man, and 38 year old Vardy can't play this role well, he doesn't have the turn of foot anymore. If we are forced to play this style, Vardy should be on the bench.

This is what blows my mind. we have absolutely nothing on the break. At this point we would probably be more successful just doing FIFA 2010 moves of spamming through balls through to the striker with 95 pace.

I think the defence is the biggest problem, but the attack is only a fraction behind them. We need to move on this season.

I don't think BDCR has done a lot wrong today, him and Kristiansen have been offering themselves in the right areas, he obviously isn't one of our best players but he's done okay today for how poor we are in the final 3rd.

He looks the real deal, but honestly think he's been average today, miscontrolled the ball at least 3x that I've seen from really simple passes. He needs freedom, we miss Ndidi massively.

He's one of our better players today and he's been bang average. He's lost the ball at least 3x today from poor control.

Don't make me post his picture again.

Can someone sum the goal up for me, I missed it

I’ve had 3 power cuts today, luckily 2 of them during the game.

Please Ruud, please please please make us look stupid.

He’d miss anyway atm

He’s trying to get himself sacked by the looks of it!

This is the thing for me, I'd happily let him take us down because I KNOW he can rebuild us with a limited budget. Ruud is showing me absolutely no ability to do this. Get Rohl in NOW and give him a free hit.

The club is in bigger crisis than we are at the moment too. He's gettable.

He has a literal League 1 team. Not joking, It's a league 1 team. He's spent 5m and signed 5 free agents, and took them from guaranteed relegation last season to 3 points off the top 6 today.

Danny Röhl (born 28 April 1989) is a German football coach and former player who is manager of EFL Championship club Sheffield Wednesday. In October 2023, he was appointed manager of English club Sheffield Wednesday, becoming the youngest manager in the English Football League.[7][8][9] He said he was looking forward to the challenge of his first managerial position,[10] while player Josh Windass said he was excited to learn from Röhl.[11] Röhl's first game was a 1–0 defeat away at Watford.[12][13] His assistant coach Chris Powell urged the club's fans to be patient with Röhl.[14] His first win was a 2–0 victory over Rotherham United in his first home game.[15] Following four wins in seven matches in December 2023, he was nominated for the EFL Championship Manager of the Month.[16] Following 11 points from 6 games in April 2024, he took Sheffield Wednesday out of the relegation zone and was nominated for the Manager of the Month award.[17] Röhl secured Championship survival for Wednesday on the final day of the season following a 2–0 victory over Sunderland.[18] Following the conclusion of his debut season, Röhl signed a new contract at Sheffield Wednesday until 2027.[19][20]

I really want this to make us all look like idiots, but after a week of gaslighting myself to back Ruud. Ruud out. I don't even know if I want to watch anymore.

Jesus christ. I spent all of Friday evening talking to one of my Bournemouth mates and I convinced myself that Ruud has potential to take us back up if we go down, and how I support him calling out the poor standards and trying to show some leadership. This is just grim, absolutely grim.

Buonanotte is one of our most creative outlets but his standards have dropped. Ruud clearly doesn’t fancy him and when he came on last match he was lazy and lost the ball multiple times within minutes of being introduced. He looked a superstar in those early games but his form is poor recently. If Ruud doesn’t fancy him send him back and bring in another attacking mid or maybe a proper box to box midfielder that can defend.

Very annoying that we are constantly missing out on these players. I pointed out Pavlovic over a year ago for salzburg, It's so obvious that him, Gloukh and Dedic are going to be playing in one of the big leagues for solid teams. Not because I'm some scouting master, but because it's obvious to anyone with eyes that they are going to go on to become very solid players. I look back at so many signings that we could have picked up cheaply who went on to be so much bigger than us. Lookman for 15m, Cherki is now attracting giant clubs and will be sold for about 18-20m most likely, both of those players could have been on our books for less than 40m the pair. Instead a couple of years later we have spent the same amount on Skipp, Ayew and BDCR when you factor in fees and wages. Joke of a club.

Loan deal with obligation/option if we survive would be the best deal for us right now.

Usually arguing over who's turn it is to pick the ball out of the net

Just to add to the stats: Daka - 1,095 minutes played, 7 goals, 5 assists. Goal/Assist every 91 minutes Cannon - 3,962 minutes played, 19 goals, 3 assists. Goal/Assist every 180 minutes

Agreed, although, sadly I think we need to be looking to move on past Vardy. He can't play in a 2, and for years we haven't replaced him because the numbers he has put up justified keeping him in the squad and not bringing through a long term replacement, we tried Daka but that clearly hasn't worked. We just keep on ending up in the same dilemma of Vardy leading the line and I just feel like he can't do it anymore, if he's going to demand 50-70k a week in the Championship, we need to find a replacement, the Championship if we go down is the perfect time to do that.
