The reaction to Saturday has been ridiculous. Win on Saturday and Wednesday next week, and we will be in the top 6. I just hope the stick makes Carlos change his approach a bit. Lose the fans and he's in bother. We don't need an Ardiles at Tottenham approach but the odd shot wouldn't go amiss. He can do it - he did it in his first season - and deserves the chance to take us forward in a creative way. A mix of season 1 and season 2 would work for me. It'll lighten the load of watching Ipswich clones. Preston is just 3 points lost, loads of clubs lose the first game and win promotion, but the abject surrender was worrying, hence the reaction.

No comparison to Blackburn Rovers at the moment. DC is in Sheffield a lot of the time and has a very hands on approach, some would say too hands on but I don't know enough to comment on all of that. Blackburn's owners rarely seem to set foot in England and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know how to find their way to Ewood Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to be as long as you are happy being a championship club. Also there is a big difference since Leeds's owners weren't putting everything into the club.

vulva Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Wednesday will finish in the top 6. Only 3 sides of the top 10 in the bookies list for promotion won on Saturday. First day of the season is no barometer. Relax everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't being too serious there just hoping his advisors aren't same bunch . (At the moment ) hope not ... Mind you he has bankrolled some poor signings who's to blame for that ? Venkys don't come to Blackburn they summon staff out to India for meetings apparently? Edited August 7, 2017 by OWLERTON GHOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reaction to Saturday has been ridiculous. Win on Saturday and Wednesday next week, and we will be in the top 6. The reaction to drawing 2-2 at home to 9-man Yeovil was one of abject resignation at the mess the club was in from top to bottom and the realisation that the manager and players weren't capable of much better. The reaction to Saturday was the frustration that we have got a really good attacking squad and a manager that played successful attacking football in his first season but our start to this campaign was an extension of the negative displays of the last campaign. The reaction would have been less scathing had Preston come out of the blocks all guns blazing and surprised us with a brilliant team performance - they didn't have to.

When DC and CC both came I would have been happy to get to The Premiership in three seasons to come so close in both seasons I think is some achievement. Sounds like not only have the fans turned on CC but that DC is next for the pitchfork brigade. Sad times Edited August 7, 2017 by Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortonwoodseatslives Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Perhaps there should be a moratorium on all discussion on CC and DC, and perhaps also on FF, until 10p.m. on 16th August. By this time the picture should be much clearer as to whether CC has 'lost' the dressing room, learned from his mistakes, etc. Arguments would not then be hypothetical, but based on reasonable empirical evidence.

davey_wells Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 It's really simple - sell a player, or rather, don't spend 10 million quid on one we didn't need - better still, dont pay thousands of pounds a week on players who don't even get a sniff. It just doesn't wash with me - we've been so frivolous with our spending, I'm staggered so many lap it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
