Williams out

He is now taking the piss.
Weā€™re on the same slippery slope as his hero Martin. heā€™s got to go, ā€˜promptoā€™

(Lifted from matchday thread re Inverted FBs...):

ā€˜Itā€™s a CV-embellishing ploy,, a la Martin - to boost HIS teamā€™s possession stats by congesting the middle with lots of pointless passing.

Which in turn leaves MPH and Eom stranded without a cause on the flanks, and our FBs have gone missing exposing us to pace down their flanks. A doube whammy

Shockingly transparent selfishness by Lukeyā€™

a la Martin.
So, as a recap - still no cogent response from the likes of Daps, eteb and one or two other meek outliers -(#603, and counting).

A very basic tactical weakness is exposed and yet still no response from Williams' fanboys.

Lukey is out of his depth, he's been found out (he now knows this) and is lashing out, much like his few remaining challenged fan boys.

And yet despite this, neither Williams nor his couple of fanboys can rationalize his set-up, his tactics, his flawed decision making.

Speaks volumes, in whatever chosen syntax, in so many ways.

Nowt best than cogent rationale, always.
 
So many people are so desperate to nail their colours to the mast with Williams that they're more than happy - like Luke is - to throw the players under the bus.

They're being thrown under the bus in favour of a manager with a win rate similar to Michael Duff. With a better squad (arguably) than Michael Duff. A manager who has delivered a promotion from the non league whereas Duff had success several times in the Football League.
If these results and performances were under Duff, heā€™d be excoriated. If Williams loses at the Piggery in a few weeks, especially playing like today, it'll be interesting to see if he gets the same vitriol. Or whether his ā€œPashunā€ saves him. I bloody well hope we donā€™t have to find out, but play like that and even they will do us.
 
I mean let's disregard having an interview with Fulham before our biggest game in years and putting his feet up in the air as soon as he knew Ayew and all his loans would be gone.

Those down in the deepest darkest backwater roads of the Gower all know the talents of Cooperwang but doesn't mean you should always go back.
I detested Cooper by the end after Wembley, but would I have him back now?

Hell, no.

In a certain way it would be quite funny though.

"Right then boys. Here's the plan. We are going to be hard to beat. None of this playing through the thirds and building up from the back. We keep it tight. We try and nick games by getting it down the channels quickly and relying on a bit of magic up front from...."

[Looks at Cullen, Vipotnik, Ronald, Eom, MPH]

"Oh fuck šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø"

Cooper copped out with 12 months left of his contract knowing that Ayew was off and the parachute payments were ending.
Absolutely no way would I want nor would he come back given he would want finances that would put him in good light and with no regard of the financial implications for MY club.

Things hardly don't make sense in the grand scheme of things for example......the sacking of Williams with us previously but the same lot who "sacked him" then re hired him and paid a handsome six figure settlement fee for good measure.

As for giving my cogent response, I don't think I have the energy to give it for a 3rd time just to be ignored for a 3rd time!
Maybe if I stand naked with my big willy manifesto then it might sink in šŸ˜‚
 
Whatā€™s the sniff testing coming back as?

Jury is out on him for me. Weā€™re meandering along mid-table with an awful squad.
 
The list of challenges LW has to deal with from this point -

Not trusting or playing any of the fringe subs up to this point. Undoubtedly, rotation through injuries and suspensions will force his hand

Apart from Franco we have no midfielders fit or can play there who can contribute

No goals from either Eom or Ronald

The MPH loan arrangement forcing his hand to play him almost every minute

How best to play Josh Key

A leader on the pitch

Good luck with all that LW... yes we're midtable but you need to stay there at best.

This MPH rumour, I'm not sure how much I buy it. Undoubtedly there are financial clauses in it as per most loan deals but is it the main reason why Luke is playing him so much?

He wasn't starting when he arrived. I genuinely think Luke thinks he's worth his place in the eleven. Which is a worry in itself

For the benefit of doubt, as funny as it would be to see his one gameplan fall to bits, I do not want him back either. Despite getting us to the playoffs twice, I absolutely hated watching his team, probably only Paulo Sousa's season was worse on the eyes.

I'm still saying let's back Williams properly in the next two windows and see where we are then. We're not going down this season, we're not going up. So let's give it a go. If these new owners have got anything about them they'll want to help him because our squad is pwp.

Decent window in the Summer with the new regime.

If we're in the same state this time next season with Williams, it's time to pull the plug.

Yeah, that would feel more reasonable to me. By then, he'll have been here nearly 2 years with four windows behind him, two of them under the new regime. We will definitely know where we are by then.

Yeah, makes sense.

As much as the football on offer doesn't really excite me at the minute, I really enjoyed the Leeds game, even though we lost. Which makes me think there's a manager and a team hiding there somewhere

I'm the first to over react after a defeat, pulling the plug now doesn't make sense, especially with new owners.

I'd like to think we are a work in progress, would like to see us progress a little quicker though.
