striker Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Why is anyone surprised? We replaced a negative manager who struggled to get the team to score goals, with an even more negative one, who has a record of scoring even less goals and comparatively also had a lower ppg than his predecessor at Middlesbrough too. This is what DC wanted, this is what the fans welcomed...it isnt going to get much better (until Pulis leaves) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its too hard a job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost sounded like a plea for Pulis by the end... On 29/10/2020 at 08:03, mcmigo said: We have a cheap squad of cast offs from other teams. Our signings - Flint, marriot, Windass, Patterson, dele et al are championship reserves not wanted by their former championship clubs. We have four players of good quality at the club - Iorfa , bannan, brown and Luongo. That is because we have broken FFP rules, and are favourites for relegation. In short, we have put together a cheap squad of cast offs and injury prone players as they are the only players who would come and we could afford. The manager and coaches need to somehow find a way to stay in this league with this squad and a points deduction. In reality he only has one way of doing this. We lack any pace in attack or midfield, again because we can’t afford or attract good players. So we need to stay up by being hard to beat, and scrape low scoring wins and draws. That relies on the players being very disciplined and focused and not making mistakes . they are making bad mistakes sadly . with the squad limitations, I am not convinced there is another way we can play this. We simply have to double down on getting the players confident and focused , especially the defenders and goalie , and work relentlessly on set plays for goal scoring. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is a hard job or not @mcmigo? A month ago you believed it was almost an impossible task. Now your saying it’s not a hard job. I think you’re getting a bit confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said exactly what we needed to do , and monk was trying and succeeding in that ie narrow wins and tight defending given the squad isn’t great . crucially i said focus on tight wins. Pulis so far has taken my advice to the letter , but missed out the bit about wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're right. Things have only got really serious since Pulis took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
