So we’ve gone from a playoff final 9 months ago to.
A chairman who basically bet on us to win the final, we lost so he’s taken his toys home and left the club in an incredibly precarious position (some legacy this all started because he was daft enough to think you can own a football club for years and not lose money on it so sold to somebody who couldn’t afford it either it was clear he knew this hence maintaining a %)
Keeping a director of football who clearly has zero decent contacts in the game hence the absolutely horrendous window and is also shoving his nose in trying to pick the team on a weekend. (Thank god clemo persuaded Vaclik)
Lost a manager who is doing absolutely brilliant elsewhere in the league, (just goes to show it was him making the absolute most of Brombys rubbish).
Appointing a delusional clown to manage/coach the team who has zero tactical nouse and if stays in charge with the DOF past Saturday will undoubtedly take us down.
Signing players who are here for a retirement home who were decent 8 years ago.
Having zero decent premier league loans, bear in mind whenever we’ve had good or bad years we’ve depended on those players, Mooy palmer, brown, colwill Chalobah ESR etc who we relying on this year?
Saturday is must win, we need 9 points minimum from the next 4. If Baldwin has any sense he will get shot of fotheringham and Bromby Sunday regardless of result and aim at getting a manager in with some sort of tactical nouse, Wilder would be a start.
Before anybody calls the above entitled it’s not, nobody has ever demanded town spend millions we will always be a selling club, they just want a side that play a nice brand of football that the fans can recognise and get behind.
It’s a sorry state of affairs.

Hard to disagree. Except I think they need/should be getting 10 points in February. Fixtures get a lot harder March onwards.

I don't think too many will disagree but, unfortunately, our views count for very little.
We have to sit, watch, hope the team can scrap enough points to stay in the league. If not we, and I'm one of the most guilty here, can debate how and why we got here but we have to look to the future.
The club will be sold eventually so we can only hope that a fresh mindset, and hopefully a clear plan, will get us going back in a positive direction.
I know there are people who don't respond well to criticism of what has gone on and the individuals involved but it is inevitable that this will continue to happen for a long time yet.
I do think it is important we look forward but in the short term that is game to game hoping we get those points on the board. What happens longer term is anyone's guess. I hope it will be better, but I couldn't guarantee anything right now.

You are absolutely right but the fact that people, me more than most, are still making the same points, and nothing happens,tells you how frustrating things have been allowed to get. It is a stuck record but it's because people can't believe what's been allowed to happen. But you are right it is a bit futile and possibly tiresome. |

Even the most ardent of happy clappers can’t disagree with the content, so they slag off the poster. Pretty pathetic.

Lee Clark could do a better job with this team than MMF. Discuss… As much as he has failed everywhere he has been since and didn't success his actual objective here. Those 3 seasons under LC were entertaining. We attacked and had flair players in Pilks and roberts. Had a goalscorer in a younger Rhodes and a work horse who's contributions in Novak were key. We had a leader in Peter Clark who seemed to rally everyone. Give me that period over this any day of the week. |

The midfield was mainly disfunctional with players like Kay & Arfield never getting near to their potential. Alan Lee was mainly awful, the turnover of players was huge with signings such as the Falkirk 3 mainly wasted. We underperformed massively given the resources and alleged football brains at our disposal. It was fun to have flying wingers and genuine goal scorers but should have achieved much more. |

I think most of us would bite his arm off right now to give us record-breaking 43-match unbeaten run, and getting to the playoffs twice. Far better than the present incumbent. |

He also had huge backing from Hoyle to bring in a colossal amount of playazz. He didn’t do anything, anywhere without the same resources to spend. I’m sure we’d all bite the the Chairman’s arm off to have that level of support for the gaffer again. |

It’s like talking about 9/11 day in, day out, different posters, same old story. Even threads not dedicated to the subject end up with the same old shit. I haven’t read many posts that really debate any issue, just attack what has already happened. It’s simply seeking attention. |

I think this with many posts does not take into account that the club are not masters of there own future. There a many factors beyond their control, I think people should remember its a game of football, you choose to go, you pay, you complain, your cheer, you enjoy (or not). Take the good with the bad, but dont take it too seriously and remember the world continues with far greater problems than the performance of a West Yorkshire football team. I will admit that various managers are crap in the media and should avoid it (MF / LC to name just 2). Mr Wagner was and continues to be a notable exception. |

At the end of the unbeaten run we were lower in the league than when it started! Soton meanwhile had lost quite a few, won promotion and were near the top of the division above. For the most part the unbeaten run was dire football. The philosophy had changed after the Millwall play off defeat. That's why most fans weren't too disappointed with his sacking |
