Since you keep asking the room; I’m a fan of JDT and his tactics.

Matters not whether anyone likes it, he's playing a way to showcase players into saleable assets and he isn't going to change.

Yes of the style but a bit unsure about his tactics....players seem to let us down tonight..... I would say some players also need to step up but the losing streak has to end.

Pears: 9 apps, 1 clean sheet, 30 saves

Wahlstedt (before tonight): 20 apps, 4 clean sheets, 68 saves

 

From the official site so that’s probably in all competitions. Third most saves in the league and Leo hasn’t even played in all the games. 

How many goals has he shipped in? And how many his fault? I still think he should have done better for the first

I never rated Olsson but he seems a class above what we have now. He left a decade ago too.

What is it with fullbacks since Venkys turned up?

What is it with anything since those fuckers turned up. We were doing fine before them..any signs of them actually leaving the club anytime soon?!

Very fair response

Yeah I'd probably go with Spurr. No world beater but you'd get a 6 or 7/10 from him consistently. Very rarely below or above that, but he was steady. Nyambe too injury prone and lacking in supporting the attack, although he wasn't bad either. Always felt like Martin was a pretty big downgrade on his brother. Can remember the year he won player of the season his highlight package was comedically anaemic. From memory he was okay, but yeah, a long time ago now. As was Spurr tbf.

Martin Olsson was the better one of the twins.... the downgrade was Marcus Olsson.

[neophox]

Wahlstedt made an astonishing save tonight only for some shit defending letting them score on the set piece ....

[neophox]

Pascal Chimbonda was a nice fullback to watch also scoring some great goals!

Hyam was awful against Hudds and tonight. Rushed back perhaps? 

Looked unfit to me in both games.

Oh definitely. We are missing a lot of our players. 

We’re even missing Hedges and I can’t believe I’m going to type this…Gally

As far as I’ve heard (distantly, mind), there’s a new generation of Raos being groomed to take over.

You're right, old age making a fool of me. Marcus is indeed who I'm talking about there.

What is Gallys injury? Someone said he has trained for weeks?

He'll be back in time for a January sale

Scoring the winner in the Burnley match at Ewood is the overriding memory of Chimbonda for a lot of people.

“Steve, we’re delighted you’ve come to the interview! So, here’s what we’ve got. We will pay you less than average salary, you’ll have next to no transfer budget and the wages will be 18th highest in the league. Hopefully you can keep us up and develop our players so we can sell them to pay off the debt. You interested?”

No you can’t bring in any staff. Have you met Ben the goalie coach and your assistant who was also the villian in Spider-Man. Steve will show you around the academy, ignore the for sale signs

I agree. Don’t have that stat. My point was how worrysome the stats are, not how great Leo has done. Third most saves, not played in all games, and second most conceded goals as a team. Dire stuff.

We can blame the defending around him like today showed for the first two goals it was comical but he is the last man between the ball and net and did fuck all. The worst thing is I'm hoping pears comes back from injury soon and that isn't even a massive upgrade 

[harryhealless1928]

Showcasing a style of play to get more saleable assets resulting in Owen Coyle -style defending is a bit unfair on the players who cant play like this.

Its even more unfair on the long-suffering supporters.

Wasnt JDT turned down for the Hibernian managers job?

 

[martonrover]

A lot of people seem to overlook the fact that we don’t have a manager.

Even if JDT leaves or is sacked (no chance), whoever comes in has to cope with the same ridiculous set of circumstances and is essentially Broughton’s underling.

We are not going to attract a “proper” manager, who could wheel and deal in the market.

We would end up with another young head coach, who will face an impossible set of circumstances.

We are b*ggered.
