Re: Injury watch 2022/23

I think we basically ran Ince into the ground. I'm not sure even the most competent medical staff could've fixed that.

Re: Another 6 point, points deduction incoming

There's no question those in charge aren't capable of running the club properly. If it's a breach of this year's plan that must surely mean at least 15 points. 6 suspended plus at least 9 for a new offence. And it would be a question of whether we lied in our representations to get signings approve...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Yep the Stam era was incredibly damaging long term From misjudging the ability of the young players through to signing crap like Aluko and handing out massive contracts Absolutely disastrous and yet 2 kicks from the PL I wonder how much of that actually falls on Stam. It's not like he was reluctant...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Oh, in terms of recruitment and finances he's largely blameless. He had to go because he wasn't a very good manager. His success came early, under low expectations, in a defensive set up that relied on Joao being unplayable. He then shifted to try to be more expansive and we coasted for a while on ...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

I didn't think his response to the question was quite that defensive. My memory is that it was more "I've seen them in training and taken my view, youth football isn't as good a way to judge them". We were absolutely stacked for young centre backs at the time. Cooper frankly wasn't good e...

Re: RFC accounts for 2021/2 published

My memory (dodgy as it is) reminds me that , with all the talk about relegation being a possible positive reset, that the last time we were in the 3rd tier (over 20 years ago) our wages to turnover ratio wasn't far that. The collapse of ITV digital was a factor in that but there's no doubt that eve...

Re: Do you want ince to go before the end of the season?

Not sure Pauno can get much credit for that peterboro effort. We were absolutely absymal and should have lost to a team who hadn’t won for 20 games or something like that We got a battling 0-0 draw in appalling conditions against relegation rivals in what was a must win game for them really. It's e...

When it's good news that the Wages/turnover ratio is only 150% then you know something is seriously fcuked - not just at this football ground but across the whole game.

Re: Do you want ince to go before the end of the season?

Well I say our results improved because everyone knew Paunovic was going / were relieved he went. Piss easy to make stuff up isn't it. Not really because you're just forming an opinion. You might say that, I might say differently, that's why this exists. The point wasn't to do with who was/wasn't i...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

I feel Viera's been a little unlucky in terms of the recent fixture list. Their last 11 games has seen them play Man City (2nd), Man Utd x2 (3rd), Spurs (4th), Newcastle (5th), Liverpool (6th), Brighton x2 (7th), Brentford (8th), Chelsea (10th) and Villa (11th). That's an average position of 6th ove...

Re: Ince out!

We played better tonight but when we'd fought back to 1-1 surely that was when a good manager would bring on Liam Moore to shore up the defence and try to get a hard earned point. Recently Ince has been trying to preserve a point for 90 minutes, today it would have only been for 25. Comes across a ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a)

This has been way better . Of course we’ve given up chances but we’ve looked a threat for most of the game .
Test us how we play the final 25 minutes . Do we go for the win or try to settle for a draw .

Re: Drop Carroll

Hoofing the ball to his head is such a waste, his footballing skills were as much a reason for his move to Liverpool as his heading! Mix it up! Said this on another thread. He's got a great first touch, there's no reason we can't find a way to utilise this if we don't just boot the ball in his gene...

Re: Ince out!

And he’s too ****** negative, not only with team selection much of the time but also the continual moaning that the squad isn’t good enough and seemingly making the squad feel like they’re only here as there wasn’t anyone better available. To be honest, that's a pretty fair assessment of the situat...
