I agree that you change the plan if it’s not working. However you’re asking him to change plan 6/7 games into his tenure, with the same coaches, no pre-season, same players. As fans we need to show some patience and realise that any manager, and any plan, cannot instantly turn this sh!tshow around… I can see plenty of positives under RVN, despite the result we played some great football last night and with a bit of luck / better finishing would win the game. Now is the time to stick to the plan not change it.

More succinct than my reply!

I know football is about opinions, and you may have had a few pints after the game…. But I cannot fathom how you haven’t seen an improvement in our set up / plan / play … what he can’t do is change the players for better ones. Everything else he is doing. Ruud is the best manager we can hope for with our current basket case of Direction

It should be “SACK THE BOARD” Everyone of a certain vintage has sung that before, understands it, it’s clear, there’s more Top included, and it’s understood by the TV / media too so will get reported and be more effective.

Bertrand vibes

I wonder if he’s training with the first team?? If they really wanted to show him the door then this would make it 100% clear

How you’ve arrived at thinking that your kids are more tactically astute than RVN. I thought that was obvious.

Are you watching the game?

Not sure why anyone is criticising the defence…. Both goals have been set up by Winks utterly rubbish passes

Winks…. What on earth are you thinking???

Did anyone know Okoli was “would be poor” … I’m not of the opinion he’s poor now. It’s way too early to write him off now let alone before he signed.

He made two backwards facing tackles so that he can Cruyff turn in those videos - He won’t last long in the Prem doing them

Teflon suit

The quicker you get a player signed the longer he has to work with the manager, be integrated into the squad and system, and the more points are available to play for with better players. It is a race.

Astonishing take … did you not watch the game???

Or pessimistic?? Rooney is the January one for Plymouth, which I found quite amusing!

I’ve narrowed it down to a few options!!!

You do realise that Ded Balls and Ed Balls are different people??

I agree that Ward shouldn’t have been used. But in Ruud’s defence JS actually wasn’t available for the bench v Newcastle so Ward was almost impossible not to pick there. Once he’d had 45 minutes, and JS wasn’t fully fit it would be a strange and high risk decision for RVN to de-select Ward. Ultimately he had the guy with the number 1 shirt, £12m player, in his prime years, or a young lad that’s not fully fit to choose from. It’s not hard to see why he chose Ward. (Although I am absolutely with you that he shouldn’t have)!

The change of direction and burst of pace are unfortunately down to the injuries. I still think he’s better under RVN, he was hung out to dry in the stupid system Cooper had

We are definitely doomed without a great transfer window… But for me there’s clear improvement under RVN, despite the injuries. We’re way better organised defensively, we also attack on both sides

I think I’d have to include a loan keeper in that £50m!! Ward simply cannot play otherwise any plan fails

What a relief!!!

Possibly… not sure he wouldn’t still have the odd brain fart that leaves us exposed though. It’s actually quite likely that he does get a game there though, JJ can’t play every game at the intensity he’s expected to and there’s no other cover. (At a rubbish level I was a CB, and sometimes covered at RB…. I always enjoyed it and thought how easy it was there!!!)
