Testing the waters

[Mikeoadby]

I am not going to react

 

[Matt_B]

It was too soon to judge when we weren't winning, it's too soon to judge after one win. My hope is that he will work out, however that is nothing more than blind optimism.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Er its your gut instinct. Is it far too early for you to have a gut instinct? Poor thing

Erm, ok then, I'll go for B, final answer.

I feel Paulo Sousa is the right man for the job, yet we are not in for a successful season this season (at least not as successful as last season unfortunately).

 

[DesertFox]

Sousa will get us playing pretty football for sure. Some worries that I currently have are:
1. Will his signings be up to it? So far the juries out.
2. Will the pretty football be effective in the rough and tumble championship. When winter and boggy pitches arrive, will we get bullied out of games?
3. Do we currently have the right calibre of player to play Sousa's style.

1. Dunno
2. West Brom and Blackpool were promoted last season from the "rough and tumble" whilst playing "pretty football".
3. Did Blackpool have good enough players last season to pass their way out of the league? Apparenty so.

Oh Blue Maniac, sorry about spelling it Paolo.

That's just fine, DD. We knew what you meant.

Who's laughing now?

 

[Mawsley]

Who's laughing now?

Mainly people on hard drugs or those suffering from mental afflictions.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Swansea fans.

Correct.

 

[four king power]

I did'nt like him, but we won on Tuesday so i like him, if we lose on saturday i wont like him again.

I dont like him again

 

[drummindefender]

I never voted. My intention behind the poll was to see how easily people's minds are changed by a win

 

[indierich06]

I must admit, I was easily swayed by the Cardiff win. But if we played like that every match then we'd be top of the league - if we'd played like that last night then I wouldn't have been surprised to see the scoreline reversed.

I wanted to give Sousa time, but it just seems obvious now that he hasn't got a clue what he's doing, he seems to have no idea what his best side is and he has no idea of how to change a game when he has to. We were getting battered last night and he seemed to have no clue of how to stop it and just ended up sat down with his assistant, resigned to the fact that we were being destroyed by the only team in the league worse than us.

We might have over performed last season, but we didn't over perform this much - our team is nowhere near as bad as results have suggested. Time to get a new manager in I think.

 

[alex]

No comment.

 

[RHYDAL]

Correct.

QPR fans are probably having a chuckle too.

A sick game you're playing.

No comment.

Speaks volumes.

Have you changed your mind?

Yes. I've only seen the coventry game this season where before I've been a season ticket holder. Against coventry we played really quite well- and it genuinely did look as if we played like it every week.

Now, of course, i realise it was all a filthy trick. Leicester's voyage into unknown waters with a non-UK manager has failed us, and if this is anything to go by and Pearson was pushed out because of them, these Thai chaps are really going to f**k us over.


Fingers crossed it's wrong though!
