Ante's Bubbly Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Funny isn't it how less fans thought we were going to go down and talk was of mid table at best this season under Monk? But hang on apparently we needed Pulis to stop us going down according to the Monk haters. The footy was only ever half as bad as this with half the players missing. A very poor squad yes but if Chansiri is £350M down whose fault is that? The managers rarely got who they wanted, so how come DC keeps sacking them, but sticks with Paixo who has helped waste more than £300M of that money because we can't much more than £25M worth of players at the club now. Big changes needed and much much better quality. Brian Laws was spot on tonight Chansiri has been short changed. It has to stop and we have to invest in quality not quantity.

gurujuan Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Certainly the worst manager. I can’t think of a worse appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me more of the Turner era where we had the odd moment of quality or player who is better than the rest. However the sum of the parts is equal to that. We are going down. No doubt about it now. Just hope we plan for it January Even under turner and Irvine there were good memories. Pompey away under Turner, Barnsley away under Irvine, for quick examples.

CadTheOwl Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Can you imagine if we could attend games and we were charging near £40 as well? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you think of some.of the transfer fees. I'd say the worst side and standard of football for 45 years. It's just like the era round 1974/75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo hippy Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Irvine could have taken us to league 2. But this squad might struggle in league 2 on these showings. Harsh not to give Pulis a transfer window but I wouldn't care if we didn't. Give it to Paul Cook and let him start planning for a league one promotion push next year. Anyone who has had any say in recruitment in the last 4 years should be sacked immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 this was partially monks squad and while it wasnt ripping up any trees it was edging slowly in the right direction towards safety ........that wasnt good enough for some who wanted him gone so we have to bite the bullet while pulis shapes his squad ...........its what can happen when you are constantly changing your manager ,forest are in the same boat . hughton is a competent manager but as been struggling with someone elses squad .

Kopparberg Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I feel like Irvine’s team would beat this lot. I remember Heffernan coming on and scoring in a game, the fans all wanted to kill Irvine for not using him much, but at least the fans had something to shout about.

MASSIVE_WEDNESDAY Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 This is without doubt the worst Championship side we have had since relegation from the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting there but not quite sure yet. The 2001-04 squads were biblically awful -and in the Yorath period, had the same soulless "the dressing-room's gone" taint that we've had for a lot of this year (just before lockdown and over the last couple of games(...

Taximark Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Worst side I've seen. We had some bad time when we were broke but this is an example to all those football owners out there with money how to not run a football club. Laughing stock.

Utah Owl Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The run we are on at the moment is as bad if not worse than what we had to endure in 74/75. Think a new "Our Lowest Ebb" might be required soon just to keep the record straight. Thank you DC for turning this once great club into a complete and utter shambles.

Orlando_Trustful Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The Irvine relegation squad was better than this and made it to the final day before going down. This current squad could be gone by Feb / March. A tragically inept squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
