North East Ram Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This is the 5th manager (?) in a row that has managed our collapse through Jan/Feb. What the heck are the reasons? I’m honestly baffled why we can’t keep steady and ride through til March without throwing away the hard work and points earned from August to December. Anyone offer a reasonable explanation?

kingsy1884 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Mental block, broken record, injuries, gypsy curse. Whatever the reason there are no excuses for some of abject performances over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may think that this team are miles away and might leave at the end of the season before his reputation is harmed, especially if we have no money to spend in the summer. At the moment people see that he’s doing a “fantastic job at Derby”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamRam Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Whilst very disappointing, we can’t continue to sack managers after 6 months in charge. He needs at least another 2 transfer windows to show what he can do. Anyone calling for his head should duck off to support red dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 This isn’t a collapse, it’s a fall to the position our performances this season would have placed us in. We’ve not performed particulary worse than most the season bar the run in October, but we’ve not had the Wilson wonderstrikes/Marriott goals to cover us. In other years we’ve genuinely collapsed. This year we’ve just not been very good all season, and we’re now falling to a position a team of our quality shown this season naturally lies.

Nuwtfly Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 One word: naivety. Been so many examples of this since Christmas and, you could argue, that they're going to cost us promotion or even a place in the play-offs. You can't commit to one system all season and then suddenly change it and expect anything at all. McClaren showed us that at Chesterfield in the cup. Pearson showed us that for nine games. I like the 4-3-3, but it takes smarts and knowhow to make it work. I wonder sometimes whether Lampard has a way he'd like to play, but not idea how to actually do it. Have held off getting on the Lampard bandwagon all season because I've never been properly convinced. I'm still not. Nowhere near. And when you've got someone like Jokanovic available you have to wonder what Mel's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct but neutrals won’t be watching us tonight, they simply follow the narrative that we’ve been playing fantastic football all year long after they saw us against Man Utd and Chelsea in the cup when that’s not been the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
