With the squad at his disposal you'd think you'd get more than one shot on target. He has single handedly turned the best strikers in the league in to a joke and it needs to stop now.

Miffed Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 As a football fan I accept that we will lose games.....what I can't accept is inept performances without a single shot on target, regardless of expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Turpin Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 First game of the season. Play off failure in back of everyone's minds but high hopes, rousing Carlos speech, massive away following and they produce a truly appalling performance. My mother could have played in the Preston goal - no shots on target, no awkward crosses to take. Meltdown was inevitable even from the usually highly supportive away fans. Today's reaction will look mild if there's a repeat performance next week. Carlos can turn it round but we'll need to play with a bit of enjoyment. He's reaping the consequences of dull as ditch water football - despite the fact we came 4th last season people were bored and restless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Wednesday Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Today was horrific, one of the worst performances in regards to effort and quality that I've seen under CC. The players couldn't give a f'k. We should be scoring more in pre-season, we should not be getting easily beat by Rangers. We should be giving more on the first game of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Carvalhal's biggest problem this season is the rising expectations. In his first season we were a bit of a surprise, in his second we were slightly improved (based on the final position and points) but this time a credible automatic promotion challenge is expected. The early signs are not promising but I've got no plans to call for his sacking any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown lasted a full raging 48 hours. was it a header? could have been as there has defo been more than one miss. but the one that sticks in my mind was Brighton at home under stuart Gray, 0-0 89th minute in front of the kop8 yards out half volley skimmed the bar, crowd went MENTAL. threads on ere titled 'did the ball bobble' etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almat Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The real damning indictment of CC and today's pathetic performance is how little we have seen his supporters on here tonight. They have simply gone awol, which I suppose makes it appear like a bigger meltdown than it actually is. He loses these disciples' support and he really is in big trouble. CC's rousing pre-match rallying call has actually made today much worse for him. He's talked the talk but utterly failed to walk the walk. Massive pressure for the first home game.
