Freshfish Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Rotherham at home...lost three key players and won. Never, ever had a doubt after that except for the bogey teams and hoofball teams....hoodoos gone...hoofball dealt with... Warnock gone. QPR gone. Derby gone, Mick gone...but we all thought it was the Wednesday Way..doubt creeps in and we all worry...it's are who we are and frankly I'm giving all the credit to the...... Buddhist priest Without serious injuries to key players nobody would have questioned CC....UTO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year we are more pragmatic and defensive in our play. A fine tweak and next we will get in the top two. Champions League here we come.

Eightace Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If we aren't playing as well as we can then it's only fair to grumble. Some people went over board yeah but others made their point and whether Carlos or the players took any notice or not, they did improve. And that's all people wanted. We have a real steely feel about us now and even if we don't play like Barcelona we can beat anyone. Credit to Carlos and the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Last season we were a great team. This season he's turned us into Derby. Bags of individual talent But no idea how to stick it all together. It's time to bring back the Messiah.

offalyowl Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I too was very critical of Carlos but I think it was deserved at time and we were slipping out of the playoffs, I also said he should go if we don't get promoted and still believe it in a way but after the last 6 games, I believe that maybe he probably should have another chance next season if we don't make it, I'm proudly holding my hands up and saying sorry I was wrong and I'm delighted I was wrong, so let's win these playoffs and we can all have a great summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KernowOwl Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've been a knobhead against CC from the away burton game, so much so that I don't feel it right to go to the playoff final. Some of the football this season has been Shockingly boring. But what CC has done over the last six games to go from doom to glory has made me think it all over. My hat is off to you Carlos.

sheffield_dave Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Great OP, and one that summarises my own views. Our form for a period raised valid questions and I don't think it's particularly constructive to rake people over the coals for airing concerns at that time. The turnaround though has been absolutely superb. Carlos and the team have absolutely stepped up and delivered when they had to. My own personal view is that we aren't THAT much different than we were after that run, in terms of Carlos' remit. I still think he may need to finish the job to keep his for next season. But he's done everything to try and achieve that and he will get the absolute backing of everybody over the next 3 (hopefully 4) games of the season.

I won't apologise for that as I believe it was deserved. So with that in mind it's right to turn the table and give the credit and praise for what an incredible job the man (and team obviously) have done over the past few weeks. Outstanding work Carlos. Fantastic work. Now let's go a step further than last year! WAWAW UTO Could/should have posted this myself. Incredible turnaround in the last 6 matches and a hell of a lot of the credit must go to CC. The players (especially the returning ones) must also take a lot of credit also. But now we simply must complete the journey by getting up to where we belong, the PL. Looking at our opposites in the play offs this really is the best chance we will surely get.

Portugal Owl Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The begrudging way in which some of the "Carlos Out" types are now accepting that maybe he knows more about coaching than them is almost mind blowing. I don't doubt for one minute that if we don't get to the Final, or if we do and we lose, they will once again be calling for his head. I for one hope that the Chairman will keep Carlos with us next season whatever happens in the next four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
