Dean Smith was able to come in at the end and increase our points-per-game ratio to 1.125, which would have brought us 43 points over a whole season and 13th place in the table. If he could achieve that in such a short spell, it suggests the quality was always there to survive. 3

sylofox Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 Not that I want it. But would a real hammering tonight see him gone 6+ -0? All the utd players have something extra to play for tonight with all possible new managers watching. Are our players really going to be up for this fight. I'm not sure they will be.

I'm not sure they will be. in a secondary cup competition? unlikely. much as a lot of us would like to see shot of him and get a manager who doesn't play the worst football you've ever seen, he's likely here a good while longer. an absolute trouncing at Ipswich might change that if we start to look well behind relegation rivals (and if Everton and Palace win as well to send us to 17th and the gap closing) but currently, no

He was probably our best player over the remaining games. Rodgers was to far up himself and didn't care. Cooper just can't see his best players.

This game can only improve his standing with the board. Lose and it's Man Utd and a competition/distraction from the goal of staying up out of the way. Win and we've just beaten Man Utd and progressed in the carabao! Edited 30 October 2024 by JimJams
Ashley Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 Heard him on the way home about how we need to progress to the next round and it would be good for us then you play a side like that? Get gone you cvnt. 1

An absolute charlatan of the highest order. For our position, and I don't say this lightly, he is the worse manager we've ever had in my near 50 years of following us. He really is truly shocking Edited 30 October 2024 by CrazyKopCorner 3
Cropwellfox Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 Guy is an utter clown isn’t he. Hugely mistaken about him, thought he’d be ok with us this season. Almost like he knows they aren’t going to fire him so he can do what he wants with absolutely no consequence. That is absolutely pathetic from him this evening. 1
CrazyKopCorner Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 (edited) Why the fuch is he insisting on playing Soumare?, BDCR (apparently he's in the top 5 worse players in the Premier League statistically (I can't believe there's a worse player), Ayew running the line is a complete joke And where the fuch is the youth - A game against Man U at Old Trafford would have been great for Alves, Golding etc This barsteward is a joke Edited 30 October 2024 by CrazyKopCorner 2

The problem is underneath the 15 or so decent players we have is some utter dross. And a lot of it is in tonight’s line up!
sharpylcfc Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 Even though it's the cup if we lose can we sack him please. 1

He gets slaughtered (and rightly so at times) but the things he does well would look good in a better team. Which is why he will go to a higher team in my opinion. I know that isn't popular. The old adage of talent means nothing without hard work was the issue with that team. You say the midfield was good enough but Tielemans effort in that season wouldn't have looked good enough for the Championship. If we'd have played with as much effort as we did for that last West Ham game for even a few more matches we'd have been absolutely fine.

I appreciate that but why not have a blend of youth, experience and players needing minutes He literally has no game plan, strategy, tactics or any pre or during game time thought of a professional football manager - Complete and utter fuching clueless
Wortho Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 The thought of Ayew as a lone striker is embarrassing.

Before he came here I always questioned what his approach was, and turns out there isn’t one. Or one that’s obvious
fox_favourite Posted 30 October 2024 Posted 30 October 2024 Ah, I see the plan. Play Thomas and BDR get them a red card so they are suspended for 3 games. That might work.
