Decent with Gillingham. poo with City, poo with Pompey, loathed at WBA. Boro fans hate all their managers and have delusions that they should be higher than they are so we can ignore that bit. Sounds pretty similar to here to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason Monk has gone now is because he can't not deliver a playoff push this season. He would have keep us up from here. Chansiri wants us to kick on, top half minimum.

matthefish2002 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Pulis of 10 years ago would have been ok but we would have to accept functional football (to put it politely). But Pulis feel like he had had his time and will be coming to Wednesday for one last pay day. He would very much be a short term fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However in his latest stint in this league he looked like he'd got found out and didnt have a plan B. But his style is horrible. Football is second to head kick and run. Weve had enough of that. This ^ just said in the other thread that the thought of having 7 defenders in the team and only scoring from set pieces is depressing after the year we’ve just had. I’d rather enjoy watching Wednesday games again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong here, but aren't they in their last season of Parachute payments?. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather us go for an ambitious manager who likes to play football and has a clear plan in place for the future. Pulis is a man renowned for dire football and his teams don’t score goals. With no fans in grounds at the minute, do you really think us managed by Pulis will get people off the sofa and into the ground? No chance.

Again - it's not sacking Pulis that was wrong It's not appointing the right manager after him Just because you got rid of chlamidia doesn't mean you should immediately go out and nob a hooker 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i really want someone who plays attacking possession based football we dont have the squad to play that style of football and it would need multiple transfer windows to get to that stage its all about the here and now, we need to do everything that is possible to remain in this division. if it means employing someone like Pulis for dour 1-0 wins then we are going to have to suck it up This is what happens when the chairman dithers and does't act in the summer and lets the incumbent manager bring in a whole load of inadequate players 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 1.6 ppg at Boro is very good. Easy to forget he got them 5th in 17/18. Then Gibson sells their 3 best players from that season in Ben Gibson, Patrick Bamford and Adama Traore. Only Gibson is replaced, with Aden Flint incidentally. The following he does quite well finishing 7th considering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to be guranteed entertainment then I would go to the cinema. I have had enough of "Pretty, tippy, tappy, possession "football and winning ZILCH. I want exciting, edge of the seat football, I want to be screaming my head off with excitiement, not sat back watching the ball be played around the penalty area for 5 min's without a shot, or played at the back or pointless midfield possession. I am not bothered who we get, just some exciting football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - we've properly been overdosed on that in the last year haven't we?

Surely someone could get these players playing well enough to stay up ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
