Re: Tonight's Football
Tom Ince of Blackpool is absolutely superb. Great to watch, too. Big move for him next season surely.

3-1 Huddersfield.
Re: Tonight's Football
Championship showing itself as a league where anyone can beat anyone at any time yet again. A season-long dogfight this!
I wonder how many "doubles" will be done by one team over another over the course of the campaign

Re: Tonight's Football
that’s it judging who has beat who and by how much is totally irrelevant in this league

Aye - so I suppose the only measure you have is points and league position...jaffka wrote:that’s it judging who has beat who and by how much is totally irrelevant in this league

I see why you didn't spot we were going down last season now.

Generally as often as you think the clueless pillock in charge is going to take you down, unless:jaffka wrote:so we change manager on a how often basis?Worthy4England wrote:No, you can measure them weekly.jaffka wrote:which is at the end of the season, for whoever is in charge...Worthy4England wrote:Aye - so I suppose the only measure you have is points and league position...jaffka wrote:that’s it judging who has beat who and by how much is totally irrelevant in this league

Re: Tonight's Football
pretty sure that this has been mentioned before but here we go:
should Alladyce have been sacked during his reign?

Yes, you moved them when you threw a different manager into the mix.jaffka wrote:Ah, now you have lost me as the goal posts are being moved.Worthy4England wrote:Different circumstances financially.jaffka wrote:pretty sure that this has been mentioned before but here we go:

On the same principle as you asked the question, we probably wouldn't have sacked Megson either...

So current points and position only relates to the current manager?
Just trying to clarify, am sure that you understand

Re: Tonight's Football
Not sure I do to be honest. Our current situation can only relate to our current manager, as we have no other manager that's currently managing us...jaffka wrote:I moved them looks like I need the rules of engagement thenWorthy4England wrote:Yes, you moved them when you threw a different manager into the mix.jaffka wrote:Ah, now you have lost me as the goal posts are being moved.Worthy4England wrote:Different circumstances financially.jaffka wrote:pretty sure that this has been mentioned before but here we go:

Re: Tonight's Football
Yes we know that but judging on a game to game basis where did you stand with previous managers?

Re: Tonight's Football
Jaffka, I'm confused as to what you're saying. Are you saying you should only sack a manager at the end of a failed season?
Are you saying that you only take the last result into consideration?
You brought Allardyce up, presumably referring to the 6/5 game losing streaks we suffered under him a couple of times.
However, I'm confused as to whether you're arguing taking a long term view or a short term one.
With Allardyce when we had bad spells, we had always overperformed previously. So if you took any sort of a sensible view you'd have still been delighted where we were coming out of those bad spells.
I'm not quite sure how you judge a manager on anything other than a combination of a) his historical performance at your club and b) his current performance at your club.
And the two are very much interlinked and crucial in making an assessment.
Allardyce as an example, first full season, promotion, second full season kept in the premiership, third full season stayed up, fourth full season - 8th in the top flight, fifth full season - 6th etc etc......
There was no point where Allardyce did anything other than overperform in terms of results. He may have ripped the club apart on leaving, and left us high and dry, but in terms of sacking, he never ever came close.

I'm not quite sure how you judge a manager on anything other than a combination of a) his historical performance at your club and b) his current performance at your club.as fans we do but those in charge of the club take other consideration into account, also for a bit of inside information players can be selected by some managers not just on their footballing skills but on the other external stuff that they get involved in
