So yesterday we had some discussion around Slade and his style of football and how the players have too high technical ability for his style of football.
Some have even suggested that we should have stuck with the great entertainer Tony Mowbray.
So let's review the evidence - this makes disturbing viewing so I'd suggest the squeamish should look away now;
In the last 34 games Mowbray had in charge we accumulated 33 points.
In those games we scored 34 goals - 14 were in 3 games so in 31 of those games we managed 20 goals.
In 34 games we managed 7 wins - all last season - and 3 in the last 4 games of the campaign.
25 of those games had Cole, Vincelot, Armstrong, Murphy etc. In which we managed 27 points and 28 goals.
Overall in the last 52 games we've had 11 wins 50 goals and 43 points.
Ah yes the good old days. Slade needs to turn the clock back.
I want to know what happened in the dressing room at Christmas 2015. What happened to the players? How did they become shit overnight?

It wasn't a fluke. We were beating teams with ease. Gillingham at home no fluke. Burton away no fluke. For me not retaining Kent was the big reason. His last game we spanked CreweReally we just relied on Armstrong and Murphy. Once they dried up then so did the team.
The introduction of Cole and to a lesser extent Bigi also I believe was a massive error of judgement.
In the end though it's pre Christmas that was the fluke.
At this club I honestly don't think it matters who the manager is, this team are going
To struggle in league 2 next year, non league beckons.

Funny thing is about fans like yourself , is you actually avoid looking at reason and jump straight to conclusion .
Are you genuinely suggesting that with the 7 injuries to key players at the back over the course of the season is not partly why we fell away ??
Are you suggesting that when Steve waggot approached the ownership in January requesting a small amount of funds to push for promotion to be told no , is not part of the reason we took a gamble on guff like hunt and Henderson .
And in my honest opinion , Tony mowbrays Coventry city side always tried to play football the right way , I enjoyed his football more than any other managers style over the last 15 -20 years , give or take brief periods under certain managers .
Wether you like it or not Grendel , the stats say Tony Mowbray was the most successful long term manager (over a season) under the terrible guidance of our owners .
And wether you like it or not , it's extremely hard to solely blame Tony Mowbray for the way we fell away last season , because I firmly believe if players like turner , cargill , stokes , and Johnson never suffered long term injuries during the course of our season , we would have made the playoffs comfortably .
But forget reason eh
The football now is atrocious in comparison to Mowbrays CCFC
Waggott left the club in early November. If you are going to start quoting stats as least get them right.
It doesn't matter when he left , I'm telling you what happened from the horses mouth , asked for money to strengthen and push on in January , was told no .
Left soon after ...shocker
So he asked in October for funds and then left on what November 2nd? Anderson joined a few days later. Are you seriously saying Anderson just appeared from thin air and waggott departure wasn't pre planned?
Waggott screwed the budget up didn't he?
I'm telling you he believed that Mowbray would take us up , he tried to secure extra funds for the January transfer market and was told no.. He wanted to secure the funds early and give TM time to pinpoint certain players he wanted to bolster the squad for promotion .. his words to a good friend .
Btw this exact friend told me about SORDELL leaving , about beavon joining , about the loan Derby players , about pretty much everything .
A couple of fans on here know who I'm talking about , he is a genuinely good source of information
He runs a business that the players , their agents and coaching staff all use, but of course it is entirely up to you wether you believe me or not.
I'm guessing you won't .
Anyway Mowbray was a good manager for this club , it's extremely difficult for any manager to operate well under the circumstances
It doesn't matter when he left , I'm telling you what happened from the horses mouth , asked for money to strengthen and push on in January as he believed Mowbray would take us up , was told no .
Left soon after ...shocker
If you are going to try and correct me , then at least understand who I've actually spoken too
I can pull some stats up if you like , like how we accumulated the most points in our history in one season under Mowbray , scored the most league goals in a season for many many years , conceded the least amount of goals in a Season for many many years .
Keep going though you clearly know best.
There are more reasons to why we fell away than simply saying Mowbray lost the plot
It is an extremely difficult job being the manager of CCFC
Thanks for the statistic G - I couldn't be bothered to work it out myself, but it's even worse than I thought. It's staggeringly bad when you consider the level we're playing at.Overall in the last 52 games we've had 11 wins 50 goals and 43 points.
Slade has looked at this and decided the only way out is to play dirty ugly football.
Kick hassle harass then good it once you have it.
If he thinks that's the only way to avoid relegation then back him.
However he can't do that with this current team.
Do if the owners don't want relegation then they also have to back him.
They should do their sums work out what relegation will cost them give him half if that to get he big no miners CF and and dirty hard man in midfield.
Hmmmmmmm This prat is suggesting that we should purposely play boring football to be successful. Have you been to games this season. Not sure hoof ball is making us successful but we have boredom down to a fine art.You do understand that's how teams get promoted out of this division - Burton being a prime example.
Trying to play passing football with inferior footballers is never going to work - as the stats prove.

Ha ha. Least you made me smile this weekend. Do you work at GCHQ?You are the moron who kept hoping we'd lose a game the other week aren't you? Then started saying nopm a lot.
So you ask how many games I've been to and you've been to none
Oh dear.
