FreshOwl Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Christ, it’s like we picked a cashier out of sports direct to be our manager Being able to make the correct substitutions has nothing to do with how the club is being run What shitshow has DC served him which stops him making the correct tactical decisions? If my companies accounts are late, I don’t forget how to do my job I like Thompson, and I still want him for the season, but blaming these past 2 results on anything apart from a lack of effort and bad tactics isn’t correct Edited February 20, 2021 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelerian Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I honestly dont really blame NT. Well, not too much. Lets look at who NT is? He is a youth coach. So his job is to educate, nurture, and develop young players, to hopefully become solid professional footballers. Have some of his team selections, and particularly his substitutions been poor? Yes. Has he seemingly brought together a bad group of players and motivated them to their best run of the season? Also yes. But simple facts are, that he shouldnt be in this position he is in. This is the EFL Championship. Not Concorde Park or Hackney Marshes. GET A FOOTBALL MANAGER IN PLACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yeah bad week for Thompson. I think the players have had a worse week. Cant blame manager or tactics when every single player was rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Imagine the phone calls to potential managers now tho DC “Ey up pal... er you know the managers job I interviewed you for 2 months ago?” Random manager “errrrr.... yeah” DC “ well turns out we’re deeper in the sh*t now than we were back then, Plus January’s gone and you can’t sign any players” ”ok” DC ”Fancy a 3 months contract?” ”P*ss off” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson has had the job thrust on him. He has no experience managing a club before. And people expect him to not make mistakes? He shouldn’t be manager in the first place. THIS !!!!!!!!! we have posters saying we dont need Paul Cook , he aint all that etc.......................but are seemingly happy to have a guy in charge who`s only managerial experience was being player manager of BOSTON.................. NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO. Cavaet - not Thompsons fault , feel quite sorry for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault to be trying to manfully do the job but the Stoke match showed terrible substitutions which cost us the match. That delightful cross from Clarke ( good young loan player of course) would have been nodded away after a leap by Dunkley...there were three Stoke attackers under that cross challenged only by Paterson. And as for Pelupessy being brought on to replace Hutch in midfield...H tis a youth coach who can handle the players interpersonally but a manager is needed ..and Cook was interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 managers could not get 5 wins from this team in a season. Virtually every player was bad today. Then we down to 10. Yet its Thompson who getting blame. Good job Pelupessy not playing as he would have been toast on here. Why cant we say, you know what 9 players didnt show up at all today at least. They deserve a slating. Not the manager who has worked miracles so far. If the fan base will never part any blame on the players the managers will keep coming and going and we will get nowhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very very difficult to be critical of a man who’s been asked to keep this squad in the league. A man with no experience as a manager and a man who saw absolutely no reinforcements in January to help him out. His decisions and his tactics go out the window for me. Chansiri has served him an absolute poo sandwich. spot on. when are the fans going to stop blaming managers for crap players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 This will teach Thompson to drop Joey. If he had played he would have got the blame like he did against stoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been thrusted on him at one of the most precarious points in our history. No blame for me. How do you know he hasnt asked for the job? Chansiri might have given it Bullen !!
