Once you get over the rage from the night before, the red mist clears and you can write without expletives!
General opinion on these boards have shifted from the 'give Ged time to stamp his own on the team' to 'Sack him now'. And that noise is deafening.
Im looking at 12 months ago when we had played 21 games in the league and it read WON 10, Drew 6 and lost 5 with a +12 goal difference. We had just drew 0-0 with Zola's West Ham and sat nicely in 6th place. The line up for that game read:
Friedel
Cuellar Dunne Collins Warnock
Downing Milner Petrov Young
Gabby Heskey
Now look at last night's line up (I know gabby & young switched):
Friedel
Cuellar Dunne Collins Clark
Downing ReoCoker Petrov Young
Gabby Heskey
So minus a shit Warnock and a sold Milner its the same 9 that played miles better 12 months ago. Now is it Ged the Red's tactics, formation, motivation technique, training, arrogance, man management - WHAT IS IT ??!!!!
I think the way the guy joined the club and his allegiences to the Red shite have all been wrong which has also alienated the players. I think his methods are Taylor-esque (MKII) in that he is behind in thinking in the modern dressing room.
From the noises within the club I think we are stuck with him unless we are adrift in the bottom 3, out of the cups, beaten in the derbies and attendances way, way down. I think then he will be sacked and then a caretaker to 'try' and save us from relegation.
Cant keep bleating on about how MON left us in the shit. Thats yesterday's news. We must move on. And that means staying up this season no matter what. If he has any sense (please borrow a brain cell from the tea lady Ged) and play the kids against the blades so the senior numpties are fresh for the Knuckledraggers.
If we are relegated it would be a complete disaster for the fans, club and the city, aswell as Lerner's plans for the club.
