Dr T has pulled the trigger

[Phil from the upper holte]

I was talking to an Albion fan today about RDM. His remembered their team taking to the pitch with 6 forwards. Midfielders playing as fullbacks and fullbacks playing in midfield. Even during their promotion season a clean sheet was a rarity. He described a totally clueless manager who clearly still is totally clueless.

That's what my mate was saying. Said winning 4-3 5-4 having said that I'd take it.

I don't like Bruce either but you can't argue with his pedigree of getting teams up. How long do we give RDM?

They only conceded 48 so someone is exaggerating. W26 D13 L7 F89 A48 GD+41 Pts 91. And they really complained about that?

Precisely. As I recall they had a great season. I think it's fine to criticize him for this season so far but it's entirely inaccurate to suggest he wasn't successful with Albion in their promotion season.

I meet a lot of Stripeys at the cricket, where I spend most of the summer months these last few years, and they say the same the thing. He is a maverick, which can be exciting, but it can be a bumpy ride. Dr. Tony seems to be a maverick as well, so the appointment came as no surprise to me.

I never thought for  single moment that we would go up this year, but I believe the team will click at some point this season and put together a convincing run which will provide the platform for promotion next year. This is pretty much what  RDM said in early interviews.

The immediate problem is that RDM thought the new central defense could cope without extensive midfield cover, and they can't, so he has gone defensive minded. This is why so may fans were pissed off and Wednesday, because we have seen this all before and memory muscles were activated.

So its our shit team and set up then!
It has to stop.

Imagine winning 26 league games and it not taking 4 years to do so!

Have we managed it?

Yes. We've won more than 26 over the previous 4 seasons, not many more though!

[Sleeuwenhoek]

Really, change the manager. Next one will be crap, change him? Have we become Leeds??

[PeterWithesShin]

Nope, they've won 3 games so we're nothing like them.

Some posters seem to think this is just a blip in our proud and illustrious past but I am I seriously concerned we are a Forest, Leeds, etc etc etc waiting to happen,
Who sorts it, I don't know, but it needs to happen quick.

Many posters thought there was slim chance we would bounce straight back up, so it is certainly not a blip given that we will have to work hard to consolidate once we do get back up.

Dr. Tony's tweets have not helped in this respect, but I don't think "We are consolidating this season to stop stinking ship from sinking to bottom of Ocean after desertion of rats with relegation clauses, but we shall be seaworthy next year after get DCM and ACM."
