  1. Oh no mods! Ban him for this!!
  2. Will end up one of our most forgettable managers.
  3. Ive only just seen that first goal. Genuine laugh out loud stuff. If you saw that happen in Bulgaria you would call match fixing.
  4. Dreading it ending 2-3.
  5. Smash their cars up.
  6. You dont hate this team and owner enough.
  7. Tbh maybe throw in Okoli. I cant stand those CBs.
  8. The most depressing part is its probably the team I'd have ended up going with
  9. Was another sign of weakness bowing back down to him. He's had 6 good months here.
  10. Appears I've landed on Greece in the midst of their league reformatting so the second tier is just a flat 16 teams with the top 2 promoted from the second year. Prefer that I think.
  11. Really hope Forest are still in relegation danger by the time the knockouts come around. I fear a bit of a perfect storm - I've lost all faith in European teams after letting two of the worst teams in the Premier League to the final last year.
  12. Worst possible debut. Dreadful management as well in all honesty. He's been thrown in at the deep end by both the manager and Fatawu when it never had to be that way. I think even as a youngster you've got to do better than that though on the second - that was just dumb regardless of age. By the way get him back in the team when we can. We've seen enough from Thomas - he's absolutely useless. We don't know yet that this kid is.
  13. Finished my first season which is quite a short season. The second tier of Greece is regional and I'm in the southern section. 10 teams in each section, 1 go up and 4 go down from each one which is brutal. The league splits after 18 games into the top 4 and bottom 6. We ended up finishing basically level with our rivals Panionios at the top and finished the season very well but in the play-offs we really flunked it, lost twice to Olympiakos B despite having the better of both games, eventually lost again at Panionios and then an experimental side lost 0-1 creating next to nothing to Aigaleo (the 16-0 team) so we ended up finishing a quite comfortable 2nd. We were predicted 3rd so I probably shouldn't whinge too much but I just can't really get anything I'm consistently happy with so far with these. Hard to judge how much of it is a poor squad and how much of it is poor tactics. We had a few games where we absolutely ran over the opposition and completely dominated but we seemed to be absolutely useless from behind (I'll double check this but I think in 24 games we scored one equaliser all season) and we quite often conceded late as well. I play a fairly high energy game so I wonder if this is just that playing out. I've spent a lot of the season tweaking the fairly basic 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 system but only seem to have any success with quite limited roles. Everything except for winger is frankly useless on the wing. Players seem incapable of playing on their weaker side and cutting in. Full backs just seem to be screwed no matter what I do with the roles. But maybe I'm just being harsh - we came 2nd with a side expected 3rd and maybe the squad just wasn't that good. With 90% of them out of contract I am doing a huge overhaul this summer and there are already signs I'll fairly easily make upgrades. There were some positive shoots but nothing I'd be that confident in taking these to another level with.
  14. Even that it took two wonder goals and they're one of the poorest teams in the division. Probably just about edged it over 90 but another flattering result.
  15. The worst run club in England. Give me any outcome that forces these lot out no matter what it is. Anything beats this.
  16. He'll be gone before the new year. Our December is crap. Three away games and a tricky home game to start - all very loseable.
  17. I think they are a large part of the root of both the uptick of growing numbers but also what you said.
  18. Was thinking about this in the wake of some of the new grounds and whatnot lately but I do wonder if we built ours at the worst time. I can see ours being considered one of the worst grounds for its size in the next decade.
  19. No it will be held as an example to defend a crap manager even though over time he was proven to be wrong.
  20. I did have a little feeling at the time if the early wins were probably what will keep us up rather than get us up. The performances have been absolutely dreadful all season. I think we spawn enough results to survive this year. We'll go down next year though.
  21. This is kind of fair but it makes one big mistake - it's allowing those who got us into this mess another chance which they don't deserve. I'm not willing to gamble a lot of time on this lot.
  22. I haven't. In-fact I'm quite confident we'd be doing better. Because as terrible as he was, he was at least starting to force some of these players out. As it is we've got the same inept tactics but have cowered to the players yet again. Everything about the club is weak and spineless. Winks waved straight back in after his antics last season. The whole club just allows these dreadful players to take the piss. Van Nistelrooy was at least trying to put some sort of stop to that if nothing else. Well now we have literally nothing else. We need a radical manager. Not a bloke who paid to be a part of this mess.
  23. Why is it never him who gets injured?
