We need someone in charge on Tuesday who can pick a team. You see that back line he picked against Forest, utterly ridiculous. The fucking about he's done just with the backline is probably the biggest problem. He's actually found the solution to midfield, getting badou onside is the best thing he's done. If he'd just decided on a proper back four and trusted his most experienced centre backs and full backs I think we'd have ground out a couple of wins in the last few games. It's a basic confusion clouding his judgement Genuine question Who would you put in the backline on Tuesday? 4 or 5 at the back It's a dilemma selecting the most balanced formation from the squad Experience the priority? Pick a formation other than the diamond and stick with it. 3-5-2, 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1, and drill the fuck out of it. Drop McClean and Edwards. That would be a start.

A very sad ending to something that, on paper, looked thoroughly exciting. It has to happen though, I'm devastated and was probably in the Jones In club for much longer than most, but even in my wildest dreams I don't envisage how Jones can salvage this. Moyes would be a good option. Might not be a great manager but would certainly get a tune out of this squad in this division. Not that long ago many of us were scoffing at the thought of Bilic taking over post-hughes but look at the job he's doing right now. We aren't in a position to scoff at anyone. I don't think we would be bottom of the league if Lambert or Rowett had stayed, (not saying that they SHOULD have stayed, but I don't think we would be struggling this badly). He completely fucked up the last transfer window, which I don't think any capable manager, say Moyes, Allardyce or Hughton would do. He actually made us worse with that window by losing Pieters and bringing in several average/poor players. I would take Moyes in a heartbeat.

Why? Having watched the games, I don't think performances have been as bad as results. Why does that mean I'm brainwashed? Because my opinion on the football in front of me is different to yours? QPR dreadful Charlton not a lot better Derby played well but defensively poor Preston woeful Leeds never in it after they scored Birmingham lost to a very poor side imo Bristol City started well but sending obviously changed the game Brentford went for a draw and nothing else Forest played really well until they scored then collapsed like a pack of cards As Iāve said fans are getting brainwashed by his constant insistence in interviews that weāve played well when in reality weāve had spells in games where we have but the majority of the time in my opinion itās been poor. Whatās even worse I donāt believe weāve played many decent sides of yet We are the footballing equivalent of Amir Khan. Start well, look good in patches, but usually end up getting twatted.

The board stupid enough to appoint Jones are not going to find someone to give us a chance, a la their Lambert appointment. Cue Kevin Philips, Paul Hart, Adie Boothroyd, Chris Coleman... The irony being that Lambert is now doing excellent work at Ipswich on a limited budget. Thereās every chance heāll leapfrog us into the championship while we drop to league one. He's better than Rowett and Jones, and might have been OK for the Championship, as wank as that sounds! š

He wasnāt in the team I wanted to start. I'll take your word for it but for all the people slating the selection of Butland now - literally no one mentioned it prior to kick off. In fairness, I am pretty sure Bayern said Butland shouldn't be playing in another thread.

Lawrence has just slaughtered his crossing. 9 out of 10 of his hit the defender. We can't win with service with that. Give us a good winger and/or left back, we could get wins. McClean wasnāt even the worst fullback I agree. Its just that he absolutely kills our attack and teams target us because he can't defend. He is a squad filler at best. He's one of the many reasons we are where we are.

Perhaps Man 1 was bosting for a slash? A simple solution to this quandry would be if men used a male toilet and women used a female toilet. But we live in complicated times where minorities are God. The world has indeed gone mad.

Wasn't it the holocaust season when the regular saying was 'Stoke played well up until the other team scored' Feels like that all over again I went to every home game that season, and you are right, the similarities are uncanny.

You can take Mclean out of that list. He is many things. One of them is not gutless. And I thought he played well today. Uncontested crosses continually down our left. He tries but he's a pathetic full back. Pathetic. Said it for ages. He's not fucking good enough. Pieters pisses on him.

...hes been played out of position - what do you expect He's played as a winger all his life and his crossing is constantly poor. Nearly as poor as the excuse you've just given him. You are allowed to admit he works hard but is a bit shit as well you know? Lawrence has just slaughtered his crossing. 9 out of 10 of his hit the defender. We can't win with service with that. Give us a good winger and/or left back, we could get wins.

Ince is shit, expects everyone else to do the work. Nah. He's a winger. Clearly being played in the wrong position. Played well elsewhere.

We don't know how to win. Soft centred and so easy to play against. Change needed. Its time. Including Scholes.

Week after week the opposition target the same position with success and week after week we don't change who's playing there, it's fucking incredible, Recruitment.... A whole transfer window to get 2 solid full backs both right and left and we paying for it. Combined for the goal, but I still agree with you! š

We actively chose to purchase James McClean. Beautifully put. Let that sink in, people.

Post by trickydicky73 on Sept 27, 2019 20:38:57 GMT
I wouldn't call them fullbacks. Edwards is too small for the role and McClean is the opposite a clunky fool. Said that, with others, a while back. I hate the sight of him. He is the definition of mediocrity.

And that's pretty much as a direct result of Jones wanting to play the diamond....which he then jettisoned after a few games. 2 decent fullbacks would make a massive difference to this team. I'd play Bruno at left back,,at least he knows how to defend theoretically There's hardly anyone on the poll list I would sneer at now.

Edwards is worse than McLean! Which deserves some kind of medal.

Should never of gotten rid of Pieters. Is Diouf worth another stint at right back? I'd take Lenny Peters, now.
