Jourdan Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Coconut said: There are always the occasional freak results, it often depends on the specific strengths/weaknesses of the teams involved. The league isn't really that unpredictable - the top teams will win the vast majority of their games. Two or three unexpected results can be dressed up as every result being unpredictable, ignoring the hundreds of other games which have gone pretty much as expected. When we were flying high in the 2013/14 & 2014/15 seasons there were still certain types of teams lower down the league we struggled, and lost, against. So what's to say the examples you've brought up aren't similar situations? WBA, Leeds, Brentford & West Brom are all teams who's strengths are almost an exact counter to our weaknesses. Quick midfields, pace and trickery on the wings. Maybe Luton, Huddersfield & Stoke's problems / weaknesses aren't the same as ours. Leeds, as an example, have won 27 games out of 45. That's 60% - so hardly a vast majority. Cardiff in 6th have won 18 out of 45 - that's 40%. Nothing like a majority. If the Championship was as predictable as you suggest, we'd all be millionaires wouldn't we? But every team has strengths and weaknesses. Surely Cocu's job is to identify that and figure out how we can exploit another team's weaknesses or neutralise their strengths effectively? Or do we just say: They're too good. What can we do? For me, that's a negative mentality. I might understand that thinking in the Premier League where we would really be up against it. But in the Championship, you've always got a chance if you manage those games well. Again, I'm not saying we change the manager. But we have to demand more from him, surely? The last 5 games, we've gone down with a whimper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to happen, but would be funny. Of course, the EFL will probably end up charging us for failing to stop them from bringing them into our ground if they do anything.

They look like that bunch of blokes in an empty club at 2am who haven't pulled and stand in a drunken circle having found each other. We shouldn't have clapped them onto the pitch, and should have given them more than a clap on it. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave it a reasonable go and if there hadn't been some individual howlers and some idiocy from a player or two with a squad so thin, then I think we might have got very near or in top 6.

Leeds United’s director of football, Victor Orta, trolled Derby County with a pair of binoculars during the 3-1 victory at Pride Park on Sunday. Marcelo Bielsa has guided Leeds to promotion to the Premier League, ending a 16-year wait to return to the top flight. Goals from Pablo Hernandez and Jamie Shackleton, plus an own goal from Matthew Clarke, sealed the win for Leeds and a fourth consecutive defeat for Derby. And after the full-time whistle, Orta couldn’t pass up the opportunity to celebrate with a pair of binoculars in reference to last season’s ‘Spygate’ scandal which involved both teams.

The lack of hunger, desire, intensity, motivation. People say give Cocu time, give Cocu a chance and that's fair enough. But will next season be any easier to navigate for Cocu? I'm not sure.

nottingram Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Pretty embarrassing when Derby acted with such grace today (guard of honour, Mel’s gift) and a senior employee of theirs is carrying on like that in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
