Even Warnock is not that daft to take this shit show on! Any new manager has a good squad to work with. I really dont see any great difference in terms of squad strength between what we have now and what we had last season when we finished 3rd. So I dont see it as a shit show at all... its just one thats playing like its a shit show! We just need a manager who can get it playing as well as it should be .. as a team and as individuals and so far DS has failed to do that, and Id imagine is running out of time to do it very quickly now. We havent replaced LOB and Toffs though slapps - both had bundles of energy and LOB in particular was the heartbeat of the team.......absolute class. Folks (incl the owner!) have gone on about his final ball etc, but hes so much better than what we have currently its frightening! We literally have no midfield at present - rudoni is too peripheral, russell turns back every bloody time he gets it and the less said about thomas and tino in their current roles the better. The management team have made the cardinal sin of accommodating players at the expense of the team - thomas was superb wide right for most of last season and he's wide left now doing basically bugger all cos we dont have a supporting left back! Tino for all his ability aint cutting it consistently and was anonymous again yesterday. Agree re the overall squad - but its time for some home truths for a few right now. We cannot over emphasise how average blackpool were, and at NO time did we look like winning. Thats not acceptable. |

Dyche with our squad would be a disaster. He won't come anyway but, we have quite a lot of "good footballers" (playing pretty shit at the moment obviously), Dyche would want to pull the squad apart it would not be a quick fix. We don't have one big target man never mind 2 I just don't see our squad suiting him at all. I think it's very difficult with what to do at the moment and not just about the financial implications of getting a new head coach in. I'm fairly confident we will get better but not certain. I think Schofield has been "groomed" for this position but I do think it's come too soon, sack him now and he probably never gets another chance. Moving back would be incredibly difficult for him and he is a really nice lad which morally (yes I get football is cut-throat) I think does make it even more difficult because by sacking him you're potentially/probably ruining his career. There's a lot of things going against him at the moment with the play off hangover, certain players being out, not being given a left back and we have had some bad luck. I am slightly leaning towards sticking with him for now but I'm not in the club, I don't know how the players are reacting to him or what the mood is like. Dyche had good footballers at burnley - am sick of this drivel about him playing long ball all the time. Second season in prem at home after a decent start they absolutely played us off the park and he kept them up with minimal investment for years. Their training facility makes ours look like storthes hall and he developed players like wood, mcneil, tarkowski, mee, who are all at bigger clubs right now!! Im not advocating his appointment here...............but lets be honest, if the seven performances thus far are evidence of "good footballers" playing then christ we have real problems and you'd take him every day. DS needs telling / advising - pick a system and personnel to suit it.....stop over complicating the damn thing and do what the best teams do - keep it simple and when things arent working change it. Every sub yesterday seemed like for like and thats been a similar tale in most games - when its not working change is needed and if he doesnt "get it" soon there will be a managerial one and that would be harsh on the guy given what he inherited!!!! |

At least PH didnt take long to see it with Siewart and got someone in while there was still time to recover. It doesnt take a genius to see how much worse we are under DS than we were under Siewart. I guess the difference is a chairman with some balls to make the right decision. 3 or 4 more games of this, we will be in serious trouble. You then have to take into consideration how long a new manager will take to coach these players into something that resembles a Championship team, by which time you are 7 or 8 games further along than now. He should have been gone at 6 o clock yesterday evening. You heard the consensus of the fans at half time and full time and you can see a snapshot of it on the poll on here. Is DH that deluded that he thinks DS will keep us up. I guess he is obviously enjoying it though. Cruelly watching a guy so far out of his depth struggle. |

Worse than that, several times yesterday he stood behind a Blackpool player when Hogg was in possession, offering no angle for a pass. |

Listening to DS on the radio on way home from game on Sunday confirmed to me how important it is to let DS go, he said we created enough chances and we played well. Deluded we were so poor on Sunday to suggest otherwise scares me as we r heading for woe the longer he remains in charge. If DH doesn’t act it confirms the purse strings r the only thing that matters with town at this moment.

Who would want to come given our budget and who could work with Hoyle Didnt we just spend about £2m a couple of days ago on two players, plus an expensive loan fee on another? Or do we stand out as 'Huddersfield Town.. the only club in football who sell their better players but dont spend all the money on replacements' ?? 2m wow |

What did Dean’s comment about “I’ve asked Danny to be brave” really mean ? Play more attacking football ? It’s Don’t be frightened to try things (players out of position etc) ? We can only afford these players ? I’m just confused (some would say a lot..) what is Danny trying to do ? Follow your own mantra Deano |

Sank in, not good, but statistically you should look at the full data set not a self fulfilling sample. That's what politicians do spectacularly well (sadly). The 2 appointments before that should be considered also, did he have any role in other appointments in the organisation? probably. |

Only a fool couldn’t see that Dyche did miracles at Burnley might not be attractive football but he’s got proven credentials required to keep us up a d that’s the immediate challenge Out of interest, when did we last play effective, attractive football over a full season? From memory we only played one game last season that I thought were are definitely going to win this (Peterborough at home) and that we when we when 2-0 up after 10 mins and after that we just played the game out. The Wagner promotion season was more about grinding out results and not conceding (this is not a complaint) but I'm not sure I'd describe it as champagne football. At the moment we need someone with experience who can pull everything together, has the knowledge and experience to gain the respect of the players, understands in-game play and how to change things when it isn't working, and can get the players to run through walls for them. The longer we leave it, the harder the task for any incumbent manager. |

Ironic that you've highlighted 4 players who are all over 6 foot. That game you talk about, in only 1 other game that season did they attempt or complete more passes, or had more possession. It's was the exception rather than the norm probably due to them playing a terrible side that had just lost 7 on the bounce and in the middle of a run of 14 defeats in 15 games. He's also admitted to being a long ball manager and proud of it, 442 and get it forward. He's said before "my view is to play effective football and if that means making sure the ball goes on top of their centre halves that's what we'll do". If that's not an admission of a long ball game then I don't know what is?! You can view any statistic and it shows the same thing whilst he was at Burnley so to say it's drivel that they were a long ball team is absolute bollocks. |

It's a confidence thing. O' Brien is still a gap we're trying to fill which might take more time than we have. Rudoni was presumably that signing?
But all over the pitch we've a confidence issue, even the reliable Nichols made a howler yesterday, but at least you can see he's still trying to raise the energy on the pitch. Far too many stray passes yesterday, too much sideways when it needed driving forward. The lack of support when we did break was noticeable.
Why don't footballers train to use both feet either? We've too many players that revert back to their preferred and natural foot. That will actually drive the pattern of play if they're not confident enough to use their standing foot, when situations dictate that's what's needed.
He's right about the stats, on paper we were unlucky to lose that game, but all of those chances were spread across the game. I can't recall any sort of 10min period where we've put the opposition under pressure, and that has to go back to the confidence thing.
We were obviously hoping that they'd kick on after the Stoke game, then 2-0 up v West Brom. That's when the confidence and gusto should have been improved, but we sat back too deep v West Brom and paid the price.
What's more frustrating is why we had to change anything? DS worked with Carlos, other than the transfers what's changed? O' Brien remains a massive loss, but he was still one player, we needed to maintain the same game plan, but for some reason we've gone right back into our shell?
The club is flat for some reason.

Very well said. I'm in agreement with everything except for the timing of the ultimate decision, if indeed that is required. I think by then it's potentially too late and the job is much harder than it is now. Reacting sooner could potentially turn this into a mid-table struggle rather than a relegation struggle. I'm not saying we would do this, but there is still time to push on for the top six as it stands; Forest demonstrated this last season. Much later and our ambitions change. Top 6?.......I don't think many would have been predicting a Top 6 finish for Town this season, would they? Despite the surprising finish up there last season....... Top half and safe would be a perfectly acceptable this season after all the shenanigans over Summer, and there is more than enough season left to get there It was simply an example of how not waiting too long could make the world do difference. I am not for any moment expecting us to challenge, but if we didn't start out this season with hat intention having seen where it got us last, then I don't know why we were bothering. |

Any new manager has a good squad to work with. I really dont see any great difference in terms of squad strength between what we have now and what we had last season when we finished 3rd. So I dont see it as a shit show at all... its just one thats playing like its a shit show! We just need a manager who can get it playing as well as it should be .. as a team and as individuals and so far DS has failed to do that, and Id imagine is running out of time to do it very quickly now. We havent replaced LOB and Toffs though slapps - both had bundles of energy and LOB in particular was the heartbeat of the team.......absolute class. Folks (incl the owner!) have gone on about his final ball etc, but hes so much better than what we have currently its frightening! We literally have no midfield at present - rudoni is too peripheral, russell turns back every bloody time he gets it and the less said about thomas and tino in their current roles the better. The management team have made the cardinal sin of accommodating players at the expense of the team - thomas was superb wide right for most of last season and he's wide left now doing basically bugger all cos we dont have a supporting left back! Tino for all his ability aint cutting it consistently and was anonymous again yesterday. Agree re the overall squad - but its time for some home truths for a few right now. We cannot over emphasise how average blackpool were, and at NO time did we look like winning. Thats not acceptable. You think Rudoni is too peripheral? I think he's involved in everything, constantly demanding the ball. Not as strong at LOB but better technically and has the same great engine to get up and down the pitch. I like LOB but to me he was only our 4th best player last season after Nicholls, lees and Sorba. Ive not seen every game he's played but in the ones I have Rudoni has been our best player or very close to it. And its only fair to point out LOB was playing amongst players who were bang on form last season. Rudoni is playing alongside players like Russell and Tino who barely move never mind rarely do anything with the ball when they have it. |

Not much room for nuance in that poll... Do I believe he's proven himself to be a world class head coach? Nope. Do I believe that we need to sack him immediately? Also nope. Results have been shit and performances not much better but there are passages of play that give me optimism that DS might get there. Also there are glaring weaknesses that aren't necessarily Schofield's fault. At some stage patience will run out of things don't improve, but I'm not going to jump on the idea that replacing Schofield is going to solve all our problems. Which passages of play ? The ones where a right sided player keeps coming inside or the one where a right sided player tries to tackle with his less favoured foot or the one where opposition managers know that Rhodes will replace ward on or around 75 mins or the one where when losing we put on a left back at CB? Watched town for long enough to know when the manager isn’t going to work. He is reminding me of Wadsworth… When we were creating chances. Some of the movement off the ball (primarily from Rudoni, it has to be said he's a rare shining light so far). The effort was there, I don't think they're "not playing for Schofield". I think there's an element of Schofield trying to run before he can walk. One of the strengths of last season was the versatility of some players allowing us to change formation within a game without changing personnel, and each player understanding that role, but that takes time. I'd also add that some if that has been forced upon him. Some say we had a good window - I don't think we did. Don't get me wrong, I don't think everyone we brought in has been shit. But key players left and they haven't all been replaced. As a result we've got a rookie head coach trying to adapt to plug that gaping hole in the squad, and it's to the detriment of the rest of the side. Sack Schofield? That might be the right choice but whoever comes in to replace him will have the same issues to deal with. |
