Re: BFTG - HULL CITY (AWAY)

So Gomes now has a worse win %age record than Paul Clement (23.1% vs 23.33%) which basically puts him at the bottom of all permanent managers for over 25 years.

Had major investment now - how long will they give him ?

Never mind all the good vibes etc football is a results game.

Re: Are we really going down this season

Given the gap between ourselves and safety is growing, our next few league fixtures and Rotherham 4th bottom play three of their next four league matches against Ipswich, Millwall and Wigan it would appear that the end of the first week of February could be pretty decisive regardless of how many gam...

Re: New Manager

You cannot risk an appointment like this unless you do it at the start of a season (e.g. Stam etc) because you always have another chance to correct the situation. Here we will be between a rock and a very hard place sat in pole position for League 1 for next season, clearly matching the ambitions o...

Re: New Manager

Well if it is Parky then good luck to him, but wrong person at the wrong time. I am so frustrated with what I have seen for the past few years and will say a lot of things that will wind up the faithful who sit at their keyboard rather than at the ground watching every game. For once I can see advan...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (h) sponsored by a new hope

So is Stam working as a tactics consultant at Derby ? First half showed how pointless possession can be and they created nothing playing just like we have for the last 2 seasons boring the fans to death and lucky not to be behind. We should have killed the game in the first half as we created plenty...

Re: BFG QPR

Was great to watch a win at last and to see changes in approach. Not once do I recall any attempt to play out by Mannone via the full backs/defenders, played with two banks of players (like visitors do when we play possession football) particularly after scoring which were very narrow and barely pre...

Re: Stam Gone

Right decision but far, far, far too late - though I have wanted him gone they should have let him keep going now. One assumes you don't do this now unless you have already got someone else lined up. Need to appoint someone until the end of the season only as so many unsuitable managers around (half...

Re: BFTG - Bolton

Another appalling performance - Bolton missed 3 sitters in the first half and could have been out of sight by half time. Overall the whole team were poor, so little positive to take from it. Jaakola failed to catch the ball several times as he insisted on punching the ball every time very weakly and...

Re: Players you'd like us to sign thread

I could not believe the summer signings given the shortfalls in the squad but - given the current league position, squad and how January window works the board would be mad to give 1p for Stam and Tevereden to spend. The squad is good enough to avoid relegation (if managed by someone else) - any spe...

Re: reading v Forest Prediction Thread

We will lose - score irrelevant - Stam's last game in charge How he can keep going into press conferences after the game game and keep saying "sack me if you don't like it" shows he wants out ASAP. Also, focusses on the defensive errors - what about the other end - cannot win if you never ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Norwich City (h) sponsored by going for the "lack of 1st half goals" record

Home game 1 shot on target - says it all - hardly an improvement.

The 3 up front were no better, our goal came from a set piece.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Millwall (a) sponsored by first half goal search

Interesting stats - but for me it is McDermott's - I liked Brian, never thought he should have been sacked when he was but also thought it was a big mistake to get him to come back the second time. Always felt our football under him was far more attacking but more open to defeat - the stats show we ...

Some very valid points made - and today after the game Stam has sounded like Adkins so we need to be worrying now - lots of positives to take from the game..... Gee whiz, was he watching the same drivel ? Relegation zone possibly after Saturday and he is taking positives from nothing after so many p...

Was an awful match, but nothing different to Rotherham, Blackburn, Notts Forest, Norwich etc over the past few weeks. How many chances did Wigan create and how few attempts on target ? They ripped us apart at times but woeful close to goal. The no show for several halves of matches has been disappoi...
