Clever Fox

I agree with you, ut you never know in Footall.

It's hard to imagine they're even worse than us. I don't think we've ever lost 8 on the trot.

Hopefully, Ward takes the hint and moves on in January if anyone comes in for him.

The best news so far today. Delighted for him.

Let's hope their effort rubs off on us and we somehow miraculously also get a point today. Even if it's Eleven on the Goalline. I know I'm clutching at straws, but we're desperate.

It's not even Close. Maguire everytime. Oh' how we could really do with a Walsh in our Team right now.

A very Happy and Merry Christmas to everyone. Life's too short. Don't Drink too much, You'll see things clearer in the Morning. Let's all hope the Football gets better in the New Year and we have more to Cheer about.

We might as well put the Development team out for experience for all the chance we have.

This seems like a very good appointment, Time will tell. He certainly knows the Development teams od all the big Clubs, So in a good position to recommend a few that we can bring in and develop for the future.

I think Ruud wants to give our own players a chance to see what he has available before playing Buonanotte whi might be recalled in January. I'm sure he knows now that Buonanotte is better than all the options we have available. Along with Bilal. But they're both loose cannons in that they lack the discipline needed due to their inexperience at this level that only comes from playing regularly. Let's just hope we can move a few out to help make space for a few signings.

I doubt he will leave also in January, Unless there's an awful lot of money being offered for him. He's worth a point a game of more to us.

I thought the Players must have had their Christmas Party on Friday or Saturday. Because they never looked up to the job on Sunday. The performance was appalling form the majority of them. The amount of times we gave up good possession without any urgency to win it back. I don't ever want to see Ward wear the shirt again. He's worse than bad. 6 Goals conceded without getting a hand to any of them. We have got to get in some quality in January otherwise we really will be relegated with this Squad. The first job Ruud has to do is get the players fitter and instill belief into them. Then it's back to basics first. Defenders defend and clear there lines. We need somone who can hold the Ball up top to give others a chance to get up in support. All we have to hope for is some improvement for the rest of the season and maybe with quality signings we might just manage to survive, But with what we saw yesterday I doubt it.

Our only hope is Mads is back for this one otherwise it will be very embarrassing if Ward is still in Goal.

This could be the first 10 nil I think in the Premiership.

On the plus side, The only Team worse than us presently is Man City.

You can't blame Ruud for any of this. He can only play what's available to him.

I think that's 6 Ward has picked out of the Goal without getting a hand to any of them.

He'd do well playing off a big man but on his own as a striker neither skillful enough or quick enough.

A GK that can keep a clean sheet. Something we have'nt seen for a while.

We wasted another 25 million on a very average Footballer that we could have found in league 1. It's not his fault though Yes he can do a job but he lacks the quality we clearly need to move us forward. We were never winning yesterday's game no matter what linup we put out. Newcastle were really up for it from the start. The problem is we now have another player on a long Contract not really up to the job we need doing. That's relegation waiting to happen for sure.

He was a good signing Sadly injuries and time has caught up with him.

Yes, Puels signings were mostly very good. I think Fofana was down to him also. He certainly left Rogers a good squad to work with. Rogers is a good Coach but has his limitations as we know well. He also cost us European Football not once but twice in failing to replace Ulloa in the the squad. Any half decent CF would have got us the goals and few points necessary to qualify. The less said about Congerton the better.

We have to hope Ruud has a good eye for signings and brings in a few good Coaches from Holland to help him. This is the area we need to spend what's needed first. Then the rest will fall into place.

No it's not personnel and it's not all Rudkins fault either. The only mistake Pearson made when in charge was not replacing him. He was so far down the line managing the under 8s or something Pearson didn't see think it necessary to go that far down the line or see him as a threat. While he must have been engraciating himself to Top. Puel knows the game well and was lied too when here and got a raw deal in my opinion. He was asked to rebuild the team and he'd be given time. Then when we lost a few games and the fans were moaning he was sacked. He certainly proved he had a good eye for players during his time here. He'd be a good DOF.

Who is going to pay him 50k a week so we're stuck with him. It really is embarrassing how poorly the Football side of the Club is run since Pearson left.
