Jordan Ayew

I would question whether our squad is any better than the others in L1 given the amount of turnover we will experience this summer. 4-2-3-1 slow possession based football has been proven (by us) not to work in any division unless you genuinely outclass the opposition playerwise, and have a coach that actually knows how to coach it. L1, like the championship, is a very physical league and if we continue our style of play, every club will just sit back against us, soak up our ‘pass it slowly around the back’ play, and beat us with a corner in the 80th minute. Since the last season of Rodger’s spell at the club the style of play hasn’t worked, it was only when we had Enzo and PL quality players in the championship that it did work. Brussels isn’t Enzo, and we have L1 quality players at best next season - it will be a train wreck if we insist on appointing someone to play a style of football that has seen us relegated 3 times in the last 4 seasons We need a complete reset of style and players, like when Pearson came in last time and rebuilt the squad

Appointing Russel Martin would also indicate that there’s no intention at the club of deviating from the style that has seen us suffer back to back relegations, and 3 relegations in 4 seasons.

Glamour friendly with Notts County from the division above us pleas

It’s Rudders that shapes the squad, not the manager

The killer instinct "that someone like Harry Souttar has" - That is damning. Our manager sees a perma crocked defender as our most dangerous player

That's on Rudkin watching Vardy age and leave, and arogantly thinking Daka and Ayew were good enough, despite implementing a system that didn't play to either of their strengths.

Anyone arguing about the points deduction is missing the... point... We should not have been in a situation where a 6 point deduction relegates us from the Championship. It is chronic mismangement.

Injuries set him back, but in his pomp, the best right-back we've ever had, and dashingly handsome too. He clearly loves the club, never agitated for a move, stuck with us through 2 (3) relegations, and is a classy player. I will fondly remember him and would love to see him back one day in a coaching role.

Technically, yes. But Danny Simpson won the Premier League.

6 relegations in his career, including back-to-back with us

He’s a league two manager at best. Amazing how some thought he was the man to turn us around.

When was the last time we kept a clean sheet in the league?

Haha! Good one, I needed a laugh this morning 🤣🤣

Our model didn’t fall apart. Top changed the model and the new model didn’t work

It will 100% be Choudhury as captain and Thomas as vice-captain next season Not sure if they are any good with computers tho…

Need a goal to save relegation, bring on Choudhury

Line up is almost irrelevant. Other than James, we don’t have a single player that can get the ball forward from our half. Watch us needing a goal with 5 minutes to go, to avoid relegation, and Vestergaard and Laceslles knocking it about between themselves

Nice to see next season’s captain, Luke Thomas, getting more minutes

It’ll be Coops

The slow, pass it round at the back while the opposition sets themselves, possession based style is too ingrained in the squad. Needs a complete reset, the likes of Vestergaard binned off, and a new style embedding that isn’t based off Man City tactics from a decade ago, without the players to play it

Hope they work on some things in training on Monday.

Luke Thomas on £60,000 \ week

Need a complete reset of playing staff and style.

Luke Thomas will be our captain next season
