Who’s out there to replace him, realistically? Only one that seems it is Wagner.

I was getting him confused with Farke! That's the one I was thinking of 93

If we fail to win a game in August. Which is more than possible surely the powers that be will realise with this mastermind in charge we are on very dodgy ground.

This is his Rodgers Sunderland moment I think. Bit of a silly comment, to be fair.

I know Grimes is getting pelters on another thread, but I think we have to entertain the likelihood he's playing to orders and a change in personnel won't amount to anything, well not positive anyway.

They ain’t sacking him after two games. They’ll wait until the season’s a write off first.

Grimes the escaped goat and Fulton have taken the brunt of it, even though to a man they were all completely inept. One person and one person only is responsible for that.

Can we afford the compensation we will have to pay him?

I wish I could see what he is trying to do as well. Martin seems to have a massive ego and thinks he has this incredulous way of playing football. Julian Winter needs to get hold of this quickly before the club totally lose the fans.

To be fair, I’m incredulous at his way of playing football at the moment.

It shouldn’t be prohibitive. He was a bottom half league one manager when we took him on.

So am I and it's really stretching my patience and loyalty. Yesterday driving home, I had plenty of time to think about exactly what did I get out of the matchday experience. The journey has been getting worse over the last few years despite no longer having to stop at tollbooths but yesterday's journey was dreadful. Nearly 3 hours for a 105 mile journey of which 95 miles is on the M5/M49/M4 motorways, so an average speed of 35mph. Fuel cost, about £38. Yes, I know the time of year and the weather contribute to this but the winter journeys can sometimes be nearly as bad due to different reasons. And then I had to sit through watching THAT? The only positive thing I got out of the trip was the opportunity to spend a few hours with my brother and my nephew.

The next match I have planned is Luton at home on 20th and there are 3 games before that so my attendance now depends on seeing something worth going for in those 3 games. I'm not holding my breath.

He doesn't have the humility or, it seems, the intelligence to realise he was out-thought and the team was outplayed, and it's mostly his fault. I have supported him in what he's trying to do, and been patient, but my patience is running out.

What’s he been trying to do?

Just increase my stress, depression and anxiety levels if yesterday and most of last season are anything to go by.

Double over our eastern cousins was last season.
If we're going to keep playing like yesterday, then they're going to return the favour.

 

[MrSwerve]

What’s he been trying to do?

He's trying to introduce a style of play which is fairly unique in the Championship, possession football combined with pace and incisive attacking. I saw it working perfectly back in February away at WBA when we destroyed them 2-0, but to be fair they were a fairly poor side that night, and it's a lot easier when you are the away team. The home side feel obliged to attack you and they inevitably leave space at the back to exploit. Yesterday, Blackburn did nothing of the sort. And we were the fairly poor side!

‘Destroying’ a team 2 nil says it all, really.

You got the possession bit right, but "pace" and "incisive attacking"??? What drugs are you on? Where can I buy them?

i seen the thread titled x rated, and for a second i thought it was top shelf

I think they’ve spent too much bringing him, plus all his back room staff to sack him unless it got to a point where we were in major danger of relegation. That won’t come until Christmas time at very earliest.

Jesus. Tunnels and Port Toilet? Or just congestion all the way? Sorry, but I'm so glad I didn't venture out.
