Or is our manager cluless at this level
Of course he is... He's never managed in the championship and still new to this!
It's crap like this why the same shit managers like Pardew, McClaren, Evans etc. Keep getting jobs and new managers don't get a look in unless you're a premier league star.
I'm making no excuses because yesterday we were awful but the way some of our so called fans talk you'd think there's a hidden rule were if you lose 4-0 to bottom of the league then you are deducted 15 points. Some of the reactions are almost as embarrassing as yesterdays performance, makes me wonder why anyone would want to play for us.
-We have a young manager new to this level.
-Players who were with us when we were relegated last time.
-League 1/young players making the step up for the first time.
-3/4 loan players starting (all have been superb and 1 of which will become permanent in January).
-Our best player out of contract in 1 year who seems destined to leave.
-A circus of a takeover by people we barely know anything about and at this point I've given up on.
-Very small revenue (hence why we started putting ticket prices up) with no more parachute payments but want to keep our players in their last year.
We are now over 1/4 of the season and despite all above we are 11th with 17 points. If we get 60 we will finish around 16th-12th which I would take and allow us to establish ourselves with no relegation drama, hopefully have a takeover and push on to improve for next season.
I get people are being emotional after that crap yesterday but we have been relegated twice in four years, with how the season has gone so far the time to panic hasn't happened yet but it is a wake up call.
All in all I am sick and tired of us going through 3 managers in one season to end up relegated, so fuck off asking for the managers head in October.
