He’s really a very average manager. Perhaps made to look good by Adi and Lawrence. Best one we’ve had in awhile maybe doing better than Slade, Thorn or Elvis is a really low bar.
Trying to look for any kind of positives here. Only things I can think of are we’ve won there on our last couple of visits and it's not a 12:30 kickoff as we have not won any of those so far. After playing so bad so far, things can only get better (I hope).
Norwich are not the Norwich of old. They had 1 attempt on target. Same with Stoke. Rather than saying these teams are good we should say we’ve been bad and made them look good. We will get easily thrashed 4-0 or worse by some of the better teams we are about to face.
It’s not Devin’s fault we lost. But we still lost even if it was due to an unlucky deflected attempt from point blank range. Getting into good positions and getting shots on target matter.
Part of the problem is Ellis doesn’t inspire confidence in his teammates either. So they think “Why bother passing to him, when he’ll miss it anyway”. Supposedly big and strong, yet so timid and easily outmuscled. It’s frustrating.
Well you get lucky if you actually attempt shots on target. BTA had a shot the other day that looped in off a deflection. Did we even have a meaningful shot at goal today? Think Haji and EMC tried a few tame efforts. Rudoni scuffed one when well placed. Simms missed 2 chances of which one he...
Don’t let the players go on leave during the international break. Get to the root of the problem as to why we are “disjointed/disconnected” as MR has said on back to back weeks now. Start games with more urgency and on the front foot instead of waiting until we go a goal down to do that. Be much...
Okay but I’m mainly concerned about performances. If you get performances up to par, the results should naturally follow. But performances have been beyond bad in so many games.
Coaching staff were in place long before the season started. Rigorous preseason regime and games were put in place to ensure a fast start mirroring Leicester’s success. We looked great in preseason and everyone seemed to know their roles. We’ve played very often without Sheaf in the lineup...
I’m afraid this season our finish is going to be much much worse than our start if we don’t sort out this mess. We always had a reason for our slow starts like pitch debacle, gelling etc. I don’t think we have a valid excuse this season.
