He's (SH) right though. 

Garde may not be a bad manager - I think he might be good actually.  But he was not the answer to staying up this year and he probably won't be the answer next year.

Well we may as well give him a chance otherwise we look to the next rung below of old has-beens, never will bes - Warnock, Redknapp, Ferguson (D), Grayson.

Houllier was a regressive appointment, McLeish a beyond all comprehension appointment, Lambert kept on too long and then Sherwood and all of us to a man knew his limitations.

Garde is likely a very good coach.

Garde seems clued up - he certainly looked pissed off today.  I think it's c. 80% the quality of the players.

But my point was that Garde was a unquestionably a gamble (like Sherwoood, like Lambert, like McLeash, like Houllier).   When we needed a 'safer' bet  ('safer', rather than safe).  I think the thing hampering us employing the most obvious safer bet (Moyes) was the budget.  Just like it was when MON left.

Anyway, it's pretty irrelevant now.  The damage is done.

I still don't understand. Traoré had 30 minutes. Why didn't he win the game for us?

Football is cyclical and at some point we'll be good again

Sadly, I'm not sure this is true anymore.

Because there was nobody with the ability to score from the stream of crosses he pulled back from the by line.

a bit late but an attack with him in it could not have been any worse than what we are served up every week.

Brian I think it was three crosses in all and one of those was over hit. I don't see him as anything but a good prospect in a couple of years time. If we had half a decent side he would be allowed to mature slowly but because we are so shit he has to be played.

I go back to the fact, we had to win today. Garde picked a team that at best could contain and included Richardson and Calamity Clark.All Norwich had to do was put Ayew off his game and they did that by roughing him up.Once Clark nocked  the ball down nicely to set up thier goal it was over.
