Football performance under McLeish

[Compass]

Fulham - Good result, uninspiring performance (Given saved us)
Blackburn - Great result, decent performance
Hereford - Good result, decent performance (took us 80 mins until we scored)
Wolves - Decent result, decent performance
Everton - Good result, terrible performance
Newcastle - Decent result, terrible performance (Given saved us yet again)
Bolton - Awful result, shambolic performance

It's not getting better is it in the grand scheme of things? He may have improved our defence but any manager can do that with the same negative tactics. At the same time though he has destroyed our attack and midfield. We haven't looked a proper threat this season at all and we seem to be going backwards. I can't see a victory against QPR. It seems impossible at the moment.

The bloke is a poor manager.

He was before we appointed him.

The club has made it's decision and is now paying the price, and it's not as if they weren't warned.

Knee jerk reaction to a disappointing result tonight. Why don't we discuss the extent to which its the players rather than the manager's fault.

Is nil-nil at home to the Wolves a decent result?

Is nil-nil at home to the Wolves a decent result?

Nope.

I have lost all faith in Mcleish.

At least under Houllier we tried to play. We have let 5 players from the starting 11 go and only replaced the goalkeeper, (N'Zogbia hasn't turned up yet)

I am so depressed.

[Greg N'Ash]

you can only work with what you've got. and i'm afraid, after Dowining and Young left there's very little to work with.

[west sussex villan]

apart from the obvious performance tonight. 2 out of 6 games Given has saved us. That means a third of our games this season we're gonna have teams pissing all over us. We can't afford to rely on him all season, i'd rather have players infront of him doing their job properly. We haven't even played anyone decent yet so i'd up that to half the games in the season that Given will have to be our man of the match.

You had faith in him?

It was a pretty fucking uninspiring peformance, too.

[rbcuk]

Would have lost most of them drawn games, if it wasnt for given...the football so far has been dreadful

[Risso]

Wolves a decent performance?  It was abject.  Shit result as well.

[Irish villain]

McLeish destroyed our midfield did he?

Maybe selling Young, Downing and letting NRC go on a free and Makoun on a loan might have been the problem, no? And replacing them with N'Zogbia and Jenas? I'm sure McLeish told Randy he didn't want the £40m, so yes, lets blame McLeish... *rollseyes*

Nail on head.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Never should have got rid of makoun, no creativity, no imagination, give it to collins and hoof it? Fucking brilliant. Thing is we knew it was going to be shit and he hasn't let us down has he and wolves at home was shite. Can't wait to play manure and city they are going to destroy us
