We still aren't playing well enough in the first half & he's still making silly rotations. We absolutely murdered them in the first half they hardly had any possession if we had been a couple up no one would have complained...what game did you watch?

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Don't we traditionally give 10 games before making assumptions? Not long to go then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's going to take one thing, or one game, to ignite our season. Can't be too long now, we're almost there. I can feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we took our chances we would be. That's not CC'S fault, it will come, be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, isn't it about time we started turning possession into points ? How much possession should we actually be allowed before the league gives us the 10 points (at least) that we obviously deserve ?

Guest mkowl Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Home form is terrific - zero argument Away form - below par and not good enough for a side chasing promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More about the game to come where we get the bloody balance of the side right. Still not sorted it yet. But we will eventually. There'll be some casualties though, he can't keep everybody happy.

striker Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Frustrated, able to pass the ball well but lack urgency. We HAVE to play players in their correct position.Putting a CM on the wing week after week does not work. If anything will be his undoing it will be this. Still early in the season but for me, we haven't controlled a game and to a certain extent been fortunate with our wins. I dont get the sense we can be consistent enough to challenge. Our weaknesses are that we can be lightweight, lack height and have no pace. All attributes normally associated with championship squads. Positive for me was Reach today. Considering he was doing a job at LB looked good and going forward reminded me of Waddle in his style. Not saying he is anywhere his standard at the moment, but the way he carries the ball and makes space to put in a cross. CC has earned some respect, but its a results game and this squad is currently underperformed IMO, given the invedtment and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 This 6 in 27 is clearly crap. Dont see how last season is relevant, and if it is then judge him on the whole of it not just the part that suits your agenda for the record I'm firmly supporting CC - he's taking us forward and without him we'd lose a big part of our identity and take a big step back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Absolutely behind the manager. We played well today and were 2 inches from winning the game with big daves header. We we will be absolutely fine this season, top 6 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm the post actually asked "where you are with CC", but you read it how you want, you usually do... The fact is it doesn't matter how well you play, this is a results business. As I said, 10 games is the traditional norm on here and he still has 2 games before we should judge, maybe the expectation level is / was too high but he helped fuel it... It still feels like he dun't really know who he should play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Is it worth me mentioning again?... Money + quality players + patience = success Patience being the operative word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Where am I? Worried that he doesn't see the obvious. Last season - FF/Hooper strike partnership. 4 goals combined in 15 matches!!!! This season - playing one wideman and 3 CMs is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this is starting to have a feel of dejavu only last year you could have argued we had a new manager not used to English football or that our new manager had had players forced upon him so we had to be erm, patient... This year he's no longer the new boy and the squad is his, never mind the "new talent" we should have been at it from the off not using the same excuses as last year. Or should our season always be the same as our games and only deliver in the second half ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wacker62 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Absolutely loving being a Wednesday fan after years of misery. Today was disappointing for sure and a draw would have been a fair result. However some of the comments about Carlos and singling out players for blame is ridiculous . We move on to the next game against a very poor side which we will win for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Wicket Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Carlos can't be blamed for his players making errors, Lees poor pass v Wigan , Westwood twice this season and Loovens ball watching and not being aware of Birminghams forward behind. We should have won tonight, we had the better players and should have been out of sight by half time. We have got to give him more time, I would like to see him have this season but IMO If we are not in contention by January the support will start drain away from him, pressure will be cranked up from the supporters and DC might become impatient.
