    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    He didn’t do that. He went three at the back with Burgess on the left of the three. When Santos came on you could even see him holding up three fingers to Burgess and Casey. He took off the other full back to leave Inoussa and Ronald as wing backs. We were utterly dreadful but it’s obvious...

    That’s it, McEachran. Neat, tidy, technical, doesn’t do much when you actually look at it.

    No, I understand your point entirely, and I agree that it’s time up. I just think today he would have just cared more than O’Dea did. Stamenic had his poorest game today (understandably). Widell I have no idea where he is best suited. Not out wide certainly. Let’s hope against hope the new...

    I’ve always assumed the last player on the team sheet should be Fulton but honestly I’m thinking we should give him a go.

    I like Stamenic. He shows glimpses of real quality. He’s in the wrong position. Galbraith, I’m not as sold as most are on here tbh. He’s very very neat and tidy, technically very good but doesn’t actually create anything very much. And doesn’t drive the team forward. I’m hoping a different...

    I’d suggest that one of the qualities those making the appointment found appealing is that Matos will have no expectation of doing anything other than coaching.

    Are the players giving everything?

    Benson should be sent back as soon as possible for that to be honest. It’s not acceptable. On top of which, his performances since he arrived suggest a period of self reflection should be in order. Quietly, without social media.

    Galbraith did nothing today. Pretty but nothing. Franco’s first two contributions were turning a throw in that was ours into theirs by inexplicably trying to control a ball on the touchline, and then fouling someone. Stamenic was, probably understandably, poor today. I’m going to wash my mouth...

    “Individually, Franco, Stemenic, Galbraith, Yalcouye are all capable at this level”. So everyone keeps saying. And yet we’re dreadful. Maybe, just maybe, they aren’t actually as good as people think.

    Well no one had the football intelligence to realise that putting someone in charge today who knows he’s about to be sacked and was probably stupid. If they’d put O’Leary in he may well also know he’s going but he has a love of the club that would make sure he did his utmost. Or Margs for the...

    No, but they should. Although I’m pleasantly surprised that he’s received the sentence that he has. Should spark a deep dive into his former colleagues. Bet it doesn’t.

    There isn’t a combination that seems to work. It’s possible that’s system and it’s possible we don’t have the right balance available. But whatever it is, week after week there are posts saying x is great, or y is great and they are doing nothing. Flattering to deceive.

    Should be an automatic rest of life sentence. It’s treason.

    It was pretty obvious when those genuinely insane stories came out last week that Ronald is being eyed by teams in the Premier League (snigger) that his agent is trying to get his name out there which doesn’t exactly scream commitment.

    It goes without saying that today was dreadful, first half especially so. I do think at some point when we’re having difficulties in attacking and difficulties in defending someone somewhere has to say perhaps our midfield is the bloody problem. There are players who’ve done nothing for weeks...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    There are no tax purposes that would apply. And we’re hardly going to get someone saying they’ll work for less as long as it’s longer! It will perhaps have been done because of the cost of breaking his existing contract. Gets spread over length of contract for FFP purposes. To be honest, that...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    ‘Think it's termination not release. And I am not gonna go into the difference lol’. There isn’t one. At least not in terms of its effect on what the club will pay. The only differences are technicalities about who the contracting parties are and how the money flows and associated tax...
