February 21, 20179 yr I've nothing against Coyle other than he's a shite manager. He was almost doing a great job though - lets hope they get DF in to finish the job
February 21, 20179 yr Shame they didn't keep him until they were down. Surely that is it for him now?
February 21, 20179 yr Author Shame they didn't keep him until they were down. Surely that is it for him now? There's still Blackpool, Preston, Oldham and Rochdale for him to go at.
February 21, 20179 yr Good managers are a very rare breed. I can only think of one and he got a bit lucky. So all managers are shite
February 21, 20179 yr He's done pretty well for himself in severance pay over the past few years. Hopefully he's done enough damage that Blackburn are doomed.....hopefully with Wigan
February 21, 20179 yr He still hasn't managed to better the post Stoke 5-0 demise he wreaked on our club. He'll soon be back on 5Live spouting shite on a Tuesday night.
February 21, 20179 yr So happy when we got him, was going so well, there was a period in his 2nd season where we played really great football, like drawing 2-2 with Man Utd, beating Spurs 4-2, Wolves 3-2, Newcastle 5-1 and that Holden late 2-1 winner vs Blackburn. I think Coyle did well very well for his first 2 seasons, up until Stoke away or you could say until Holden got wrecked. In our last season I think we would have stayed up with 1 or both of Lee and Holden, we also didn't have the goals of Elmander and Sturridge that we had in the previous season.
February 21, 20179 yr I was prepared to forgive a lot of what he did, but throwing away that West Brom lead effectively relegated us.........the cunt
February 21, 20179 yr I was prepared to forgive a lot of what he did, but throwing away that West Brom lead effectively relegated us.........the cunt Looking back at that season, the last 4 games we threw away points 1-0 at Sunderland - drew 2-2 1-1 vs Spurs - lost 4-1 2-0 vs West Brom - drew 2-2 2-1 vs Stoke - drew 2-2
February 21, 20179 yr That Swansea game in October was when i gave up all hope. Got to give him his due though he must interview very well.. Edited February 21, 20179 yr by deane koontz
February 21, 20179 yr Looking back at that season, the last 4 games we threw away points 1-0 at Sunderland - drew 2-2 1-1 vs Spurs - lost 4-1 2-0 vs West Brom - drew 2-2 2-1 vs Stoke - drew 2-2 Any stats on games we were losing/drawing that we went on to win/draw?
February 21, 20179 yr Sturridge wasnt even his first choice.... so another who got lucky No that was Carlos Vela who given his record in La Liga for the past few seasons is one of the top strikers in Europe. The fact that he did bugger all at West Brom when he was on loan there doesn't necessarily mean he would have also flopped at Bolton. It seems that every bad signing is 100% the manager's fault, bad luck is never attributed to them. However when a signing goes right then it's down to luck.
February 21, 20179 yr Any stats on games we were losing/drawing that we went on to win/draw? From that season 1-1 vs Wigan away - won 3-1 1-0 down to Everton away - won 2-1 1-1 vs QPR at home - won 2-1 (the game Hill had a goal wrongly not given over the line) 1-0 down to Wolves away - won 3-1 1-0 down to Swansea at home - drew 1-1 1-0 down to Villa away - won 2-1 ---- from 0-0 beat QPR 4-0 away beat Stoke 5-0 at home beat Blackburn 2-1 away and home beat Liverpool 3-1 at home Edited February 21, 20179 yr by Didledee
February 21, 20179 yr For me the 2-2 with West Brom absolute cunt of a man hope he rots with all his compensation money he's swindled off clubs
February 21, 20179 yr His insistence on taking off Muamba in games cost us a lot points iirc. I wish someone had the stats to hand.
February 21, 20179 yr Looking back at that season, the last 4 games we threw away points 1-0 at Sunderland - drew 2-2 1-1 vs Spurs - lost 4-1 2-0 vs West Brom - drew 2-2 2-1 vs Stoke - drew 2-2 Any stats on games we were losing/drawing that we went on to win/draw? From that season 1-1 vs Wigan away - won 3-1 1-0 down to Everton away - won 2-1 1-1 vs QPR at home - won 2-1 (the game Hill had a goal wrongly not given over the line) 1-0 down to Wolves away - won 3-1 1-0 down to Swansea at home - drew 1-1 1-0 down to Villa away - won 2-1 So I'm not quite getting the point you're making in your first post. We gained 14 points from losing/drawing positions and lost 8 points from winning/drawing positions.
February 21, 20179 yr Another one that grates was after picking up 7 points off everton, Liverpool and arsenal it was clear we were strongest with Muamba and 4-5-1 He fucked about v norwich and we lost Yet he couldn't fucking wait to start 4 4 2 v wigan and drop Muamba, then we lose Everyone could see it coming and he says "yeah but I played 4 4 2 away at Wigan and we won" Prick
How sad, never mind!
