Freedman out!
Sorry he just ain't good enough or strong enough to sort out the deep problems that plainly exist in the club, people thought it was SKD but clearly it wasn't, I'd start with Knight.
Re: Freedman out!
I don't want this to turn into another 'not playing Muamba' thing (that is, playing Knight and/or Wheater together). Apart from their mistakes, we played the ball and held possession quite well. Too soon to call this a Dougie problem just yet imo.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Freedman out!
The frustrating thing is that if you take out the individual errors from Wheater and Knight it would've been a good performance. If we get a good centre back in, all is not lost. I'd give Dougie till November/December personally so that if it isn't working out, any new manager can change the squad a bit in January. Our next 10 home games:
Leeds
Derby
Yeovil
Sheff Wed
Ipswich
Millwall
Huddersfield
Doncaster
Charlrton
Boro
We need at least 8 wins from that imo

Re: Freedman out!
Watford fans said the same last season, only seven points on the board by 23. Sept last year.

I'd stand by my man.
I think he's a clueless chancer but another sacking would be suicide for us.

Re: Freedman out!
Come on if you look at our fixtures, most teams wont get many points from those games. Watching the highlights of yesterday's game I was pleasantly surprised as we seemed very good going forward. It was ridiculous defensive mistakes that cost us. If he gets a good CB or two in we'll alright.

Re: Freedman out!
We cannot become a 2 managers a season club. That way is the road to ruin.
However, despite injuries, fixtures, finances whatever his tactics are not working ... either because they aren't any cop, or the players are incapable of adapting to them. I said on another thread that if he mistrusts his defence so much that he wants 3 holding midfielders then he has to deal withn the defence. That's the 2 centre half players. Why should they need such protection ?
The defensive nature of the midfield means nothing is being created. He also seems reluctant to use the more creative players ... Hall, raw maybe but fast, direct ... Moritz, surely match-fit by now.
It all revolves around Knight & Wheater not being up to, or up for it.
It's in Dougie's own hands and if he doesn't deal with them, then he will pay for it.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Can someone post what Derby and Forest fans said last season, don't think there's enough to go on with just two teams...CrazyHorse wrote:Wolves fans also said the same last season.TKIZ! wrote:Watford fans said the same last season, only seven points on the board by 23. Sept last year.

Re: Freedman out!
What's the benchmark for the next 3 games (or is it 5 league games?)? I forget the points total we were on when he went.

Re: Freedman out!
So 9 from 5. 3 wins if he's not to be a massive disappointment. TBH, if he's only on that in 5 games, its looking pretty grim.

Re: Freedman out!
Merely matching Coyle's total last year won't mean this season's not a disappointment, although it would at least be a boon for those who feel the incessant need for comparison.
To not be a disappointment, we need to be in the top six.
