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

To be honest, if anyone from Cardiff went down, I wouldn't be disappointed with the exception of Plymouth who I think/hope will survive. The rest of them seem to have some sort of issues, most of them being owner related (Rotherham and Millwall possibly the exceptions here - although I can imagine t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

The next 7 games are going to be the defining factor in the season in what is generally a pretty favourable run outside of Derby away (where we hold a "decent" record). The only issue I see is that we've had a very good run of form up to this point, so it's about how we can sustain that r...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (h)

After a couple of disappointing results recently, need to get back to winning ways here. This is probably the biggest game of the next few we have coming up.

Re: Ex Players

It seems to be most of the successful players are the one's who have come through our academy generally speaking. OIise and Osho both playing in the PL, Olise the obvious standout, but even some of those are now good/established Championship players. Stacey has played in the PL, Championship probabl...

Re: Weekend Football

Does feel like City are starting to do City things again. Five wins in a row - and their next three league games are at home. That said, Liverpool have got a lot of their tougher fixtures out of the way. Looking at their next eight - they host Burnley, Luton, Brighton and Sheffield United, and have...

Re: Selles In

To be fair, I think it can be hard to separate the difference between rating the quality of an appointment as good or bad, and the likelihood of the success for that appointment, with the actual performance once in post. You can have terrible appointments you'd expect to fail turn out to succeed ag...

You're definitely right you didn’t understand from.that post tbf. Obviously not as it was a poor argument to make. It certainly is when you strawman it like that. But it's not hard to see the quite good reasoning to expect a failure from an inexperienced manager, with an atrocious losing record in ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (h)

Listening to the EPR preview pod, Charlton fans are well up for this and hyping it up as the turning point in their season. 3000 fans, new manager, big win to light the fuse. In the same pod, they basically said everybody is playing shit, they don't have a plan to bring May into the game and the Ja...

Re: Selles In

I think the amount of fans who always believed in him will soon be on a par with the amount who saw Friday's goal against Tranmere. Tbf, when he was appointed, Stranded and I were about the only people to say that, given his CV, there's evidence to suggest he might not be a complete disaster. I nev...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

I'd rather NGW, but Mola has drastically improved and is now doing ok. His defending was mostly very good last night. Still a bit daft and error prone, but it is L1 I prefer Mola, seems to have more in his locker than NGW who was and is pretty limited overall. Well this a shocking and unpredictable...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Re: Mola - think he got a lot of unfair abuse for a couple of poor games. He’s barely played for a few years and thrown into a really difficult situation Turning point was that move to RB against Charlton where he was suddenly excellent and he’s been fine since I think he’s fine. Not amazing, but g...

Re: Selles In

Yeah I thought he should have gone around November time and possibly under different circumstances would have done. Fair play though, he's stuck at the job and appears to be turning it around which can't be said for our managers in the Dai era. Once they start declining, it only ever ended one way, ...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game

All seems very bitter. Fair enough, they had us on the back foot for a lot of the game, especially the first half and in the last 10, but it's a smash and grab win really that we earnt through determined defending throughout. It happens. Don't see the need for the "hope they don't exist" b...

The Division is beginning to concertina somewhat, with teams who - at Christmas were looking up at the Play-Offs - are now looking down; Bristol Rovers being one to watch....when I have time I will check out what the highest points total in League 1 that still resulted in relegation was, and the me...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Did really well to grind out a win in the end, conditions were really poor but we were very much up against it in the first half but we have come away with a very good result, lifts us out of the bottom 4 as well. A real chance to kick on now with some vey winnable fixtures coming up, especially at ...

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

Can't see Jon Dahl Tomasson having much time left, Blackburn are on a run of 1 win in 11 league games and just 2 draws from the last 8. Strangely followed a very similar pattern under Paunovic here actually Situated in the playoffs for the majority of the first season until a collapse at the end sa...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Oxford United (a)

I mean we could literally draw our way out of relegation. 17 games left 17 points puts us on 45. Which isn’t far off what’s needed to stay up. Taking out the curtailed Covid season, that would have kept us up for 1 season of the previous 5, with MK Dons going down on 45 last season. Most other team...
