Ive never stated what your opinion is i know that 33% that voted disagree with Carlos staying as manager. The fact that you render my post as inane says that you are in the 66%.

I think it is hard to disagree with this. We were so slow and predictable in our build up and it made it really easy for teams to get players back behind the ball. It's always difficult breaking down an 11 man defence. We need to go forward quicker and with more purpose, but one of the problems is that we have no player with real pace who can run at defenders.

Bluesteel Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think on balance it was riskier to start all over again when you're almost there. A change of manager doesn't guarantee anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyto Alba Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 We'll be in the playoffs again and this time we'll have to beat Sunderland or Villa or Fulham or Middlesborough etc. We lost tactically against Huddersfield while having better players than them.

Daz, two neutral fans I know watched us this season and said exactly that, we moved the ball far too slow and barring Forestieri had no one who could unlock a defence.

Serious question, because imo we only have one player in our squad who could have and he was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am asking a question with NO ANSWERS so far Simply because he's improved us both seasons - Mid Table to 6th then 6th to 4th so keep that up and we have a 66% chance of finishing in the top 2.

This really is pretty irrelevant tbh. Derby wont be bothered that they have regressed this last season, Villa the same. Norwich wont care last season they have under achieved.

I'm a fat old man, but even I could defend against a team which takes 5 minutes to get the ball past the half way line. OK, an exaggeration but any professional football team would love not having to bust a gut to get back and defend. CC really needs to address that next season, but getting some pace in our recruitment strategy is going to be essential, along with a system in which the players are moving and not static. We were hardly supporting the man with the ball and running into space last season, as if they'd been told not to commit in an attacking sense. It was glaring in both games v Huddersfield.

The home game against UDDERS for me was so disappointing. CC was co concerned with not losing and that for me is just below the line of unforgivable. The substitutions were wrong but then as we came to expect 2-1 up at QPR and Semedo coming on with 20 minutes, yes 20 minutes against a team there for the taking. He's managed like a man undr pressure this season, so if he felt it this year, whats it going to be like next year with EXPECTATION at the absolute MAXIMUM. Personally I dont see this ending well.
