How Long?

Do we give Dougie? I am a big fan and I can't see us getting anyone better,but if there is no sign of his "plan"it's time to take a gamble on someone else.

When the next manager comes in and gets the same special people abusing him from the off, new manager out brigade, then I'm sacking it off.

 

It's turned into groundhog day, too fucking boring.

You happy with the shirt being served up then?

You happy with our worst season in 20 years last season?

You happy with our worst ever start under freedman?

You happy with our worst joint ever defeat under freedman?

You happy you went there yesterday spent a fortune and watched that shit?

None of the above. Like I said, you and your merry band start over the top abuse of the next bloke then I'm out of it. It's too fucking boring, been reading the same shite for too long. Groundhog day.

 

It can't go on, you've abused the last 3 managers. This can't go on.

Megson, coyle and now freedman. Are you telling me that they deserved our backing?? Megson was a little harsh as I think if he was still here we would still be a premier league team, however, coyle and freedman are fuckin pathetic managers so very justified wanting them gone

They are our manager, I see nothing wrong with backing them whilst they are.

 

Certainly don't see the point in spending my life abusing them, or in my case wasting my life reading other people's abuse. It's fucking boring.

The thing is, we could go on a ten game winning streak and the same group would simply say "it's only a matter of time until it goes wrong"

 

It's a mentality that has nothing to do with football, but with life itself.

 

It just so happens that football is a useful conduit through which to channel the ire.

 

 

It's very dull, but maybe my constant support and optimism is too.

 

It will always be thus.

Things will not improve under deluded dougie

I've no idea meself

 

What would you like to see happen?

I was baffled by resorting back to last years starting formation when we seemed to do better in the formation that ended the season. So yesterday I believe the formation and personnel was wrong.

Then I question... Was playing cd up top making a point to 'him above' that we desperately need another striker and quick? After all cd was pushed out to pne last year.

League games are not the time nor place to make a point to the bosses.

So therefore his decision on personnel in the final third was also wrong.

Or.... Release a holding midfield player to play two up top.

You cant play one up front when the five midfielders behind him cant spell goal

Bedsheets imminent me thinks

Him above could point out the guy who he spent £1m on after he signed cd was on the bench

 

The deadwood has gone, so no excuses really

we didnt spend a million

 

we'll only spend a million if we are promoted

 

as it is, hes cost us the best part of nowt

 

not that its relevant but we may as well not make stuff up

I'd like to see him gone after his constant misuse of tatics and making the same mistakes over and over again but unless we are under real threat from being relegated I can't see him going before the end of the season, his contract is up and it won't cost us anything to get rid of him then

We spent a million on someone and only gave him a 2 year deal???

If Nixon says so it must be right

He also says "pacey" forward

 

So yes it's full of shit that piece

It's not how much he cost, it's how much he's worth - to us. If he gets games, and works his bollocks of he could still be worth  £1m. It's up to him to convince DF to give him the chance, and him to take it.

I'd suggest the concept of a good manager is someone who makes individual players better, or at least look better over a short, medium or longer period of time. Or someone who makes a team better by knitting together the players he has. He's spent two years complaining about the players he's got, and how he needs to get rid of them.

 

Accepting as a given that the team has got worse or at the very best stood still tactically or results-wise, a list of players who have improved under DF would comprise of exactly zero. We've got nobody of any value that he can claim to have polished up to sell on. Not one player who has got remotely stronger or better.

 

A list of players who have got slightly worse would be significant.

 

And the list of players who have had the confidence and quality knocked right out of them to the point where they have ended up as useless, hollow players would be significant too. We have some of them in the side still.

 

The number of young players like Vela, Kellett, Threlkeld, Riley - all of whom have done no worse than the regular players - all seem to be destined for lower divisions in due course.

 

If there was a flicker of improvement you'd be delighted, but there's no direction.

and that would be freedmans fault?

 

if they end up in lower divisions it may well be because thats their level?

Course it's not

 

From some quarters he seems to have been credit for those youngsters at Palace that are playing at the top level though, so at least let's have some consistency
