Wembley. Arrogantly and naively assumed Stoke would enter into a nice tippy tappy football match because it was there, so picked completely the wrong team and totally ill prepared them for Stoke turning up and being themselves.

Newcastle home was this season's day of confirmation, tactical naivety in the extreme, causing us to snatch defeat from the jaws of a likely 1-0 victory

Stoke at wembley

Crept on gradually but surprised (no not really knowing what an arrogant cunt Gartside is) he was'nt removed last October. sadly he is a one trick pony who has only one tactic which is easily sussed by opposition. thinking back when he left Burnley they were sliding for the same reason. I still can't understand why he has not been forced to change elements of his coaching staff. surely SL must be an improvement on that tartan tossbag he cherishes as his assisstant.

Gradually for me but it's the number of times we'd played OK first half and then a totally different team comes out for the second half. Half time is one of the real opportunities for a manager to earn his crust... Adapt your tactics, motivate the players and fire 'em up. The number of times that the half time team talk has made us significantly worse was the big pointer for me. That and dropping Fab.

Have you seen Sammy Lee at table tennis; for god sake he cant reach the top of the table. Coyle knows these things

it's OK, it's sorted:

 

in fact, west ham/stoke when he brought knight back and stuck with him despite wheater looking miles better

It was then for me as well

There has been a few occasions when I have thought; well done son you have learned from the hidious decisions you have made. Then he goes and does it again and again.

 

 

What he said.

I don't want to join in with the knockers, but we kept conceeding from corners, every fucking time, using 11 in the box. Something has always been very, very wrong with our defending set-pieces.

"although i didnt want him, because i didnt think he'd actually proved himself.

i had no idea he was so bereft of idea's and totally and utterly stubborn about the idea's he did have."

Homer sums up my initial thoughts.

 

It's been a gradual process, but started by the Stoke semi-final debacle and the bringing back of Knight.

 

The last 5 matches of the season started the red lights flashing madly.

 

Home to Norwich & Sunderland when we were getting the big teams out of the way and needed to pick up home points.

 

Final straw, without a doubt, was home to Wigan and a monumental cock-up.

 

That's about spot on for me, he picked the semi final team on the back of the win against a poor West Ham team, we werent that great either that day but because we won he stuck with that team and formation when it required something different to face Stoke

 

For me he takes far too long to realise things that become obvious after one 1 match, Muama not starting being one, in more recent weeks bringing on Klasnic every time for his usual 10-15 mins at the end, ok we all know Klasnic has a goal in him but he needs it on a plate most of the time and looks off the pace, tired defenders dont want come up against pace so give Sordell a go or try something else

Who ?

Wigan at home finally snapped me he had 3 chances to put FM on to stop Wigan playing and failed, I could not sit still in my seat I was pacing up and down the concourse in a rage never ever been so angry with any manager than that day it still makes me shudder they beat us that day and a large proportion of that was Coyles doing.

 

Yep. As I said after that match, I was so mad I walked the 3.5 miles home from the Reebok to cool down.

At my age, that's no joke.
