Stokes not quite match fit and Stevenson not ready to come back following injury, but not far off.
We will have to disagree on Lameiras. He has bags of talent, but is heavily weighed down by all his inadequacies. That's my opinion anyway.
I think he might do quite well on the continent...
But as has been said, Stevenson is injured.
And besides that, when Harries was playing weren't we complaining about a lack of physicality in the back four and how he lacked a bit of strength?
I'm not of course saying this window had been good, it hasn't.
Is it 8 players now that Slade had brought in? As it stands I only rate 3 of them.
The whole season has been a disaster from start to finish, bar that little false dawn when Venus somehow got us winning a few for a little while.
Yep. He was Lady Bracknell in The Importance of being Ernest, John Maclane in Die Hard, Shirley Valentine in Shirley Valentine and William Wallace in Braveheart.
Need to put him on the lighting or costume department in future.
Not sure these players are a hell of a lot better.
Both keepers are not good enough. Haynes is not a left back by any stretch of the imagination.
Still a question mark over DKE, despite his great endeavour and enthusiasm.
Lameiras is not good enough, nor is Reid, nor is Ghadzhev, nor is...
Thing is with Sordell, we don't know if Slade wanted to sell him or was told to because of interest from other clubs.
Don't think we can criticize him on that until we know the facts. Think we would be a better team with him here though for sure.
I know Clarke had a very poor game yesterday...
True. CJ seems to do an awful lot.
It does seem though that a conclusion had already been come to and it was just a case of presenting the evidence to everyone.
Clive Eakin immediately spotted that Yakubu was injured and Delete Adebola, the guest co commentator for the day also said that the...
I think I would agree with that if we weren't already bottom four when he came in and weren't already a mess.
He came to firefight an already desperate situation, but he hasn't taken us forwards and that was his remit.
We should have seen an upturn in fortunes and it simply hasn't happened.
The whole season has been a mess.
Next season will be yet another clear out, so very little continuity going forwards and another complete rebuild.
I asked on other threads, just how many players will we still have with us next season?
We can't just keep going on like this. There is no...
I know CC4L is going to turn this into yet another Mowbray thread, but the facts are clear.
Mowbray started the season with a clean slate. No games played, obviously no position in the table, no losses.
Slade came in with us already in the bottom four and on the back of 6 straight defeats...
You have to sit yourself down in front of the mirror, take a good long look at yourself, put your thinking head on and ask yourself 'Is this team capable at all of putting 3 or 4 back to back victories together? Even 2 or 3?'
The answer has to be a resounding no.
I think we will win the odd...
Slade came in on the 21st December. We had just lost 6 games in a row and were already bottom four. He was given an almost impossible task.
That simply HAS to be factored in.
We have done worse since he came in, but worst ever manager? No.
He has failed though for sure.
Thing is, and this is key, that I am sure that pretty much every club goes into a season thinking maybe this is our year, that maybe this year we can reach the play-offs etc.
I think Fisher's words were so key a couple of months back or so. We are seemingly set up just to survive at best. There...
Yeah, agree with that bit.
The video though from the Twitter feed is just a bloke not running or covering any ground simply because he is injured.
We still should all be outraged though I guess. ;)
