We didn't even have a go last night. We deserve all that's coming. And the only bright thing that this club has is about to go to Scotland for 50 quid. ********, each and everyone one of them. Adam Reaches performance last night just sums this club up. Inept and insulting. Of course our tactic is defensive, how else do you expect us to play we've only got 1 striker in the club and he's finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I don’t blame NT. Love em or hate em, Monk and Pulis with all their experience in dealing with clubs in this position couldn’t cut it, what chance the U23 Coach ? We need a proper manager in who can rebuild the team, but before that, someone to rebuild the club from top to bottom. I genuinely fear for the club if we go down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I ain't got coaching badges so what do I know, if I had then maybe I would have also replaced them with a midfielder up top on his own.

Pieman Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Thompson deserves nothing but praise and thanks. He has embraced the role with positivity and started to turn the ship. Alex fuk1n Ferguson picked the wrong team and lost games. He did what he thought best and up until gifting them a goal, it might have worked. How can you pick a gung ho attack laden team against a side that have the home record of Coventry? It was always going to be attritional. He isn’t however, qualified to be our manager. The job is too big, he does not have the experience. Until we find our new manager, I say thank you Neil, with all my heart.

It was always going to be attritional. Not even for the last 10 minutes? Think outside the box, go 2 at the back and put a defender up top with patterson, just go for it FFS. Go long for 10-15 minutes. Westwood hoofs it forward anyway to 1 striker so just flood their half with players. Has it escaped folk that we need to try and score?

REDOWL Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Have to agree that Thompson isn't the problem. He's been thrown in at the deep end by a Chairman/Owner who is always looking for a scapegoat to cover his astonishing lack of acumen. It seems to me that the only consistency we have is chaotic day to day managing and no long term strategy to help lift us from the current gloom. It truly sickens me to witness what is happening to our Club as each day seems to unfold yet another mishap or crisis that is always the fault of someone else. Heartbreaking for each and every one of us but we will always be loyal Sheffield Wednesday because there is no other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassetts Allsorts Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 You can't blame the bloke that's been chucked into the middle of a house fire with a water pistol and told to sort it. Players have been telling us for weeks how good it was to have somebody they've known for years as caretaker manager, then they put in a performance like last night for the bloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It’s disgusting that Chansiri has thrown Thompson in to this position, poor bloke is so far out of his depth, I feel sorry for him, this job will wear him down after every defeat, he doesn’t deserve that. Wake up Chansiri and get a manager in that is use to clueless owners, oh I don’t know, perhaps Paul Cook on a decent contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just threw on forward players and whatever modicum of cohesion we had, disappeared. Anyway, that’s not my point. He is doing his best, he isn’t a qualified manager for a club in our position.

Lunny1968 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He went against his previous policy of playing two up and the rest is history. That said the guy is doing a good job and should be immune from criticism. He has inherited the poo show of all poo shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 NT is not the problem. The squad is just shocking mix of players who either always injured, unfit due to serious injury or lay off and some who only perform 1 game in 3. Look at the signings over the last 12 months, nearly all of them have not played for ages and we are chucking them into the first team and expecting them play like fully fit players. It all reeks of getting anyone in if they are cheap enough. Pulis has been able to get teams organised and difficult to beat in the past, but he couldn't get a tune out of this lot.

Barnwood62 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It’s Chansiri to blame he’s the one who brings players in, sub standard all of them, what the hell did he bring these losers in, Paterson never been a footballer, Windass too slow then he brings back Hutchinson a liability, no decent midfield you could go on and on, League 1 here we come, then we get a decent young player in Shaw and he looks like he’s going 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I think Neil Thompson comes across as a decent guy and would be pleased for him to return to his coaching role. But in the truly desperate situation the club finds itself we need an experienced manager with a good track record. Over to you DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Chansiri isn’t going to make a change any time soon is he. Things will have to get much worse before he considers changing Thompson Edited January 28, 2021 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
