What about Sean Dyche?

No argument from me

I'm ust not convinced we have the players to play Allardyce's style effectively.

Endless diagonal balls at Gestede to knock down for Sinclair.


I'd take that

Because it worked so well in the first half today.

Bielsa for a couple of seasons would be interesting, if nothing else. A risk, but not the certain relegation we currently face by sticking with sherwood.

My one knee jerk vote of support for Allardyce is because we have a couple of big defenders, a statuesque main striker and some tricky wingers, which he panned for a few sparks of gold at Bolton. But fuck it, we have all these continental, skilful players (apparently) - what's wrong with a Laudrup type?

At least it's a game plan whereas today ?? This season, I see no plan , no method.

The problem with Big Sam is that we don't necessarily have the players to play his style of football. He'd have to make big adjustments to play to our strengths. And you just know without any shadow of a doubt he'd play Gabby for every single minute he can.

I don't know about that Monty. We have wingers and we have two centre forwards in Kozak and Gestede. He made Carroll look very decent again when he has healthy and even had Downing playing well. Look,it pains me to bring myself to want him but there was a time last season West Ham looked quite good. We are desperate and this is what desperation brings with it.

Dont worry he would soon fill the place up with Giants, Nolan in, forget watching Gill or Jack they would be sold to make way for some camels and girafffes.

I don't understand why anyone would want to get out of this particular frying pan and straight into another.

The stupid, stupid move was appointing Sherwood in the first place. They need to wake up and get shot of him quickly because it is plain as night and day that this is not going to work.

Allardyce is just such a shit idea, why replace Sherwood with someone associated with such grim football everywhere he goes? Look at how Bilic has West Ham playing now compared to Allardyce's version.

Of course you would and you wouldn't be on here week after week moaning about having to watch it.

Fat Sam is the ideal appointment for where we are as a club.

Players and managers are always, always banging on about how much difference a supportive crowd makes. Bring in a manager that goes for glory and that four point deficit would be wiped out in no time.

He did ok at Newcastle and West Ham, but they still wanted rid of him, does that not tell you something
When the fans want a manager out even when he's doing alright in the league proves that they could stand it any fucking longer

And you want to bring that in ?

This guy is hilarious. Hands up who thought that today would be the day for Crespo part of a back 5, Hutton as wingback and 3 centre mids all playing within 10 yards of each other? Gestede, I'm sorry, he can head a ball but as a team player he's fucking useless. Moves as much as an oak tree.

The bottom line is Tactics man is groping in the dark. Another clown appointment from bobo's circus thanks to Aston Villa.

From what I can see, our best 45 so far was against Leicester. That first 45 minutes we looked a decent team with some very good play.

Now, the 2nd half went wrong, but why doesn't he look at the first half and work on ensuring that team learns how to cope with what Leicester ended up doing?

Work with the best team you have, not chopping and changing every game hoping you stumble across something good.
