Eric Black

I found it a very offensive line up.

Same here, possibly the most offensive I've seen in a long time. All that was missing was Richards and Agbonlahor.

[Toronto Villa]

Or the least offensive side he could have picked deciding to play Richardson, Westwood and Bacuna. No offensive threat at all in fact.

[Clampy]

Like i've just said on the post match thread, playing Richardson didn't make any sense. It's as if he spotted him on the training ground and remembered he was still with us.

[Steve67]

Lots of mistakes today from Black. The side picked, taking off Lyden and not Westwood, or Richardson, playing with Sinclair on the wing and having no target man, playing Guzan, Bacuna, Westwood, yet again. Leaving Richardson on for so long when he offered less than nothing.  Seemingly, if the Manager doesn't give a shit, why should the players? Crap all round today.

He's set a new high; now not only do I want to punch all the players, I want to punch the ****** of a manager too. Hapless fucking wankstain.

Mr Cockthrottle, don't hold back my friend!! Ha ha

Just seen his post match interview on MOTD. It was all about the supporters.
Telling the world he can't criticise the supporters is like criticising the supporters.
There was absolutely no need to mention the fans at all.

Good

[Toronto Villa]

How can they not give a fuck more than they already not give a fuck? Having said that I am sure our boys will find a way.

[Steve67]

I doubt too many of them give a shit. Too busy thinking about moving on. They should spare a thought for the poor fuckers they've made redundant because of their lack of fuck giving. Tossers.

His comments today are just awful. The man has not got a clue on how to get a grip. No wonder we actually got worse after his arrival! I hope he is out the door the moment a new man comes in. In fact I hope we actually see a decent coaching setup put in place that is not reliant on 2-3 people at the top and has others in it. Kevin Mac alluded to their not being enough senior coaches at the club, it needs to be addressed.

[Matt C]

He's certainly not really got a grip on media relations yet.

Or team selection based on last week.

[Steve R]

Maybe he is right. Maybe Garde was right too. What harm can it do, putting it out in the public domain. It's hardly going to make things worse. Why should a manager take more than his fair share of pelters for that money grubbing lot?

Too many players at the club can't give a fuck. And will give even less of a fuck given the chance to do so. On the evidence of this season I can believe that. The players we have been putting out are not 3 wins in a season players, there has to be something else going on.

[ciggiesnbeer]

He had a pretty low bar to hit , just give us back a little dignity, scrape a few results and go down with a bit of fight. He has failed to hit that low bar. Yes the players deserve all the criticism they get but wow, Eric B has not made any positive impact at all.
