Rate Shuey v Blackbum

[AlbertTatlock]

4 from me, too many changes (although I did agree with some of them) slow defenders trying to maintain a high defensive line, players looking around trying to find someone to blame, midfield unbalanced and lightweight, forward line tried but were just not quick or good enough. Is it time to drop the 4-3-3 and utilise some sort of 4-4-2, the players certainly aren't playing to the current system very well. A better second half with at least some fight but the game was lost after the abysmal penalty effort.

Gouranga.

[shrewspotter]

0...if it was Neil, Jones, O'Neil or Rowett it would ne nil so why anymore

8 changes doesn't give continuity

[thepottypotter]

0 out of his depth pretender.

Lose against QPR and he should be instantly sacked.

[DansViews]

5 - lots of changes but most of which I agreed with.
Can’t manage shitty mistakes and not tracking your man - that’s the player not doing their job.

I really like Shuey, I think we need to look at the players recruited and the person recruiting them.

[jontimmis]

If we lose to QPR.

We’ve got 14 games to stay up. 18 points min required.

A point a game. We’ve got some horrible fixtures, off top of my head

Leeds away
Saints away
Hull away

The home games are massive, the next two home games I think define whether we stay up or not.

[mrrine]

An unironic 2.

Embarrassment.

Looks like he is struggling - shocking window not to bring a left-sided defender in, which is costing us massively and also needed to bring a central defender in.

Not looking good we can't defend, left side of defence is now being targeted every game, we can't score, we are garbage in the air which has now being costing us for 2 seasons and this particular guy looks like he has lost the dressing room and now having to make sweeping, rash changes.

JC has got to be prepared to pull the trigger if we get hammered in the next 2 games and are not competing. The issue is the guy he brings in will probably be worse - might be a shout to give Gallagher a go if the unthinkable happens in the next 2 games and we end up in the drop zone, they seemed to play for him in his 2 games in charge and we need a guy that knows the players and that the players trust in return

[thehartshillbadger]

I don’t like the excuse “it isn’t his team” but it really isn’t. He’s walked into a total shit show.
The fans need to get behind the manager at this point and trust he can turn it around, he’s not been here five minutes. The players in the other hand……

[vinnyoverson]

1 - Unbelievably naive set-up and reckless approach to today’s game, especially off the back of a five nil drubbing.

Blackburn, having just lost their manger and without win in months, knew exactly how we’d play and just picked us off.

And what is the point in sacking him when the cockney used car salesman and the septic tank will still be here overseeing the recruitment. I would stick with the manager and sack the other two charlatans and let schuey rebuild the squad even if it means relegation as we can’t keep sacking managers when the squad is the problem.

[BuckRogers]

Kamikaze approach to the game is just crazy. Full backs no where to seen . Center backs just left stranded.
It's 0 for me. He's the one who's telling them play this way

He had the chance to at least try to address the most glaring issues though. He chose not to. Now he’s reaping what he sowed.

0 from me. That was up there with the worst I’ve seen in decades of watching this shit show of a club.

[pavel]

5- he picked a team most of us would have gone for, 8 changes yes but Leicester was an one off. 2nd half we were much better and may have had a chance if johnson scored the penalty. You can't excuse the 1st half display though but surely that's down to the players as much as the manager. Hope he has learned Gooch is not a full back, always out of position and not busting a gut to get back. He inherited a shit show, looked like he was improving us but we have fell back. He needs to pick them up again and get some points on the board and at least we scored from open play at last.

[generationex]

He’s only a ‘coach’ so recruitment is not his job! They trained really well this week apparently.

Shows the fault lines of a manager/coach bollocks.

This board seems to have fled from ‘we need a DOF’ like a rabid dog from water.

The new ‘system’ has failed horribly in just five months.

[davejohnno1]

0 - he said we needed to not to overreact to Leicester and bounce back.

He made 8 changes. Is that not an over reaction?

He said we needed to be hard to play against for first 15 minutes as we knew they’d come out aggressive. He set us up with 2 atthe back and fullbacks nowhere to be seen and with no steel or legs in midfield.

He’s either very naive or quite worryingly out of his depth.

He’s completely contradicting himself every time he opens his mouth already!

[maninasuitcase]

Loses 8 points for 8 changes that didn't make a jot of a difference.

Loses a point for playing Johnson

Total 1 point.

[rambo61]

5 from me. We cant keep sacking managers. Somefuckers got to pay his wages for 3 years!!At the end of the day these wankers have been dumped on him. The cunts who keep sighning these wankers want fucking off!! How many more managers can we ruin????

4. A dreadful start obviously. At the start of the 2nd half they were playing rather better, even, (dare I say?) a little threatening. After the missed pen he seemed to panic and made a bunch of substitutions which took us back to square 1. Burger I could understand. The poor guy put in almost as much effort as Joe Allen used to. The others seemed hopeful rather than calculated. We did get a lot of possession, which we shouldn't forget I don't think. We weren't QUITE as terrible as people seem to think. Besides Burger, several seemed to at least care, including Wilmott, Vidigal and Junho. Not all is lost!

[pushon]

He had the centre of the team playing too high up the pitch probably in an effort to get an early reward/goal.
They seemed to expect this and played the ball into space beyond our wingbacks(?) attacked our central goal area with crosses and Hey Presto..goals.
We didn’t learn so they put a ball over our overly-high back line of pedestrian-paced defenders and what do you know? another easy goal.They then took it easy until half-time.
We attempted to defend more resolutely and used Vidigal as an outball to develop play further up the pitch.
This was successful to a bit of a surprising degree and he won us a penalty,this followed an excellent opportunist goal by Ennis.
The penalty was,as you would expect, quite s☆*#e and easily saved by their goalie.
This proceeded to wake-up Blackburn and they saw the game out comfortably.
I had no intention to post a Full Match Report here, so apologies to anyone of a nervous or depressive(after today) disposition.

[thehartshillbadger]

I don’t know what Tchamadeu was asked to do but it can’t be what he actually did. He looked like he was on drugs, and not the performance enhancing type

[malteser68]

Anyone who picks up that lazy git Daniel Johnson in the starting XI deserves nothing but a big fat 0

[roylandstoke]

Picked a bloody awful team and set them up to play in a style they were totally unable to play.

A generous 2 for a performance that was as bad as anything we’ve been forced to endure this year.

4, but only because I still really want the bloke to succeed and can't bring myself to think about changing the manager again.  It was a thoroughly depressing day in the upper tier yesterday and not just because of the football - at the end, when Burger came across, half the people around me were applauding and half screaming dog's abuse, people having a go at one another etc.  Yeah, I know, we all pay our ticket money and we are all entitled to voice our opinions, and our opinions are driven by what we see on the pitch,  and fair play to every one of the over 3,000 who made the effort to travel, but I increasingly feel as if I still care enough to travel away but can't actually work out why I do care anymore when I get there.  Perhaps I am just getting old!     

[prestwichpotter]

Can I give a minus score?

At best I’d say it was one of the most tactically naive set ups I’ve ever seen considering the circumstances, at worst I would just say it was sheer buffoonery.

I wasn’t worried before the Leicester game, I am now if he insists on trying to be Pep Guardiola with some of the most brainless footballers you’ll ever watch…….

[nickhfc]

When I saw the line up I assumed Johnson would cover Gooch and likewise Million for Junior. As it happened there was no cover and the fullbacks went missing. Baffling.

For their first goal, Gooch was not even in shot when the ball went out wide. For the second, for some mysterious reason, he was in the right back position competing for a header with a powerful attacker, one foot taller.

I like Schuey but it’s a big fat 0 for not attending to basics.

What are the rest of the coaching staff meant to be doing? Their body language yesterday was shocking.

To be fair, most of them have been here about 4 months longer than him, so...
