Re: Sordell ... what's the point ?

I don't doubt N'Gog's effort and he's a decent target man. But you can only afford to have one non-scoring striker in your team and that man is Captain Kev. N'Gog couldn't give an opposition keeper a threatening look, let alone score past him. Sordell scored one against Forest but missed two other ...

Re: Sordell ... what's the point ?

Sordell is a million miles from being anywhere near Ngog And you'd base this on what? 5 mins of seeing Sordell actually playing :lol: Just for the record I think Ngog has something about him but reckon he needs a manager like BSA to get it out, never in a month of Sundays under the great Pretender!...

Re: Sordell ... what's the point ?

So we have Sordell struggling for confidence and clearly anxious to get his first league goal. He promptly gets it with a really tidy finish from KD's cross. And what does Coyle do? SUBS HIM almost immediately! The most bizarre bit of man-management ever? Though god knows what goes on behind closed...

Re: The Season Starts on Saturday. Watford.

Our nerves are clearly shot to pieces but we hung on. As little faith as I have in Coyle, I hope this is some kind of turning point. Eagles sounded like he was involved in everything good going forward and Knight still solid at the back? You have to hand it to these two players. Our only performers ...

Re: If Coyle gets the sack

With the exception of Megson not certain you can slag off Gartsides choices for manager. Allardyce was a risk that worked, Sammy Lee was a risk that didn't, but he was assitant to Sam in our most successful period, and wanted a go, he got a chance as he should have... didn't work and he was booted....

Re: Have We Helped Matters?

Its a catch-22 for the club. We're in the country with the richest and most-awash-with-money league in the world. If we don't compete, we die. If we try to compete, we die. So you either roll the dice on spending loads of money, or you try and hope for the best with less. We've done both, and ended...

Re: If Coyle gets the sack

Never mind the manager, it's Garty who needs to go. Who has overseen the steady demise of the club over the past 6 years? Who appointed 3 poor managers in succession after failing to support a push for Champions League football? The call here should be Gartside out or trust me on this one, we'll en...

Re: Have We Helped Matters?

Perhaps we've not helped matters. Maybe we've been far too patient with Coyle. Sam left because he wanted to go on to bigger and better things. Lee was hired as part of the "succession plan" but was fired because he was completely out of his depth. Megson was fired because he was sour and confrontat...

Re: Salt in the wounds.

Much to blame OC for. Selling AAH is near the bottom of the list. So is promoting a promising young goalkeeper for an ageing and increasingly unpopular goalkeeper. Can I imagine Jussi being flattened by Walters? Yes, very easily. Like I say, there's a hundred things to more legitimately blame the m...

Re: Salt in the wounds.

I believe that its true that players can stagnate but then its down to them and the manager to try to bring them out of their slumps of form. The problem we have is that OC's football philosophy has bought in too many players to the club who are to my mind simply ordinary championship level players...
