Needs to stop shoehorning our players into a narrow formation which doesn't suit the squad Needs to stop making the same ludicrous square pegs mistake Bielsa kept making. Ayling Koch Struijk Dallas . . . .Klich . Forshaw . . . . Raph . Gelhardt . . James . . . . . Bamford . . . . I don't mean this ...

It doesn't matter what team he puts out, Dean Smith has our number, have a good bet on Norwich and make yourself some holiday money for the summer and drown your sorrows with it whilst heading for the Championship. This team of Championship players have been well drilled by Bert to play his way. For...

And this season?? Oh dear me 64 don't tell me you can't fathom it either :roll: The cavalry is the main reason, fathom the rest for yourself. We are back to being a bob standard Championship team, that even i don't think the cavalry can save us now this Yanks in charge. Take a look at our remaining...

Bertball stopped working for 4 games, like it occasionally did in the Championship ( he quickly rectified it) it stopped working admittedly more often this term, there are umpteen reasons why, but the blind and footy numb will never see or understand, you called for his head and you got it, you will...

Bertball worked for 4 years.

And it would've continued to work for the next 4 had he not been severely hampered.

Those who called for his head , know nowt.

ffs stop embarrassing yourself, you just can't see or understand why.

You just don't get it.

This is what Bert did with all the cavalry and the same shite available only 11 months ago, it speaks for itself how much he needed them.

Offer more Bongo ?

Nobody but nobody could get this team playing like Bert did, and that's nobody in the world.

Asked for manager to be replaced saying he wouldn't keep them up etc. 2 games in what's changed? Is he better and does he offer more than marcelo? After last night, a helluva lot has changed Bongo and not for the better, we were completely rudderless . Bert put a lot of value on these players and w...

Don't you see that using the goal difference all the time to back up your argument, only makes you look more stupid that you just didn't get or understand Bertball

You are numb to what Bert was all about.

Anyway let's hope all this hugging and petting has a great impact on the teams performance.

It's all he has in his locker.

The players who led the revolt, if rumours are true, are not pampered foreigners. They were average Championship types who were propelled into the top 10 clubs in the PL by a manager who believed in them, and a system. Sadly they decided they knew better. And sadly the club seems to have listened t...

Well, I understood some of them led a revolt against the last manager, who had completely transformed their careers. Whether they'll look back on their roles in his departure with pride is another thing... Spot on. :clap: The players that can move on better do it fast while they can, because withou...

We were going down under Bielsa anyway, Sara. No we weren't. With just part of the cavalry back or even none of them, Bert would've beat the lesser teams, of that i have no doubt. And on last nights performance, we are fcked and this guy is not right for the job, there were substantial parts of our...

WE battered them only 4 weeks ago, and with not as many players available

Because ?? Bert was in control of tactics, get a football brain.

We were going down like a lead balloon under Bielsa, it's delusional to think otherwise. I really don't get all the romance with Bielsa, he turned us into a laughing stock this season. Conceding almost 60 goals in 25 games, there isn't anything genius about that, just pure ineptitude. As for Marsch...

That is all.

In a nutshell.

Yes, and the manager was blamed not the players. Now he’s gone, the glaring mistakes he made such as man marking - which supposedly ruined our midfield - are gone, new tactics in place, called for players chosen, players coming back in, new manager in place. Who’s to blame now after 10 days with th...

This at home was 3 dropped, but more important, it was a non contest.

I honestly can't see 1 up from that game, not even PB returning coz John Wayne won't have a fcking scoobie how to use him.

The 1 down - I think we're going down.
