7 wins in 17 games 18:36 - Nov 29 with 1907 viewsblueoutlook

Simply isn’t good enough for a team that’s just come down from the Premier League. It wasn’t good enough last season even in the prem to lose as many games as we did,especially at home. But 7 in 17 when we have spent the kind of money we have over two seasons is appalling. We have spent an awful lot of money on a very mediocre team. And have a manager who has no plan B. Most teams know exactly how to play against us and we never have an answer. I know I will get downvoted by those that say there is nothing wrong with the team, there is nothing wrong with the manager. Well, something is wrong, because it ain’t working boys and girls !

Nobody has said any such thing.

Nobody likes losing and we are all disappointed. So what’s your solution? Let’s hear it. Come on, spill the beans.

More than we have won I’d say wouldn’t you ? With the money we have spent, we should really be on the tails of Coventry. Certainly the bookies had us favourites for a reason and that’s all gone pear shaped.


The season's not over. More nonsense. Have a downarrow.

But what if you say put a different slant on it by saying we’ve lost only 4 of 17, played a game less than most and have a squad that is continually developing.it really does depend if you’re a glass “half empty” person.

Altho you didnt ask me

Mine would be

Choose one side and play it every week bar 1 or 2 changes
Don't rotate the cbs
Akpom needs to be striker. Play him there and leave him there for 5 games on the bounce
Get egeli behind akpom
Stick johnson rw until wes is back
Left side.. Clarke

Boom. Balance.

I suggest you don't watch Tuesday nights game friend. Similar opponent to Oxford and I'm sure we will find a way to make it difficult.

Mind you looking forward to cov.

So Gamechanger out eh? Fair enough. Let them take their money out, get rid of the top of the club and let’s have Evans back. You and others would be so much happier with that.

I can’t remember if it’s Norwich or Leicester you support but congrats or commiserations accordingly.

Dear oh dear. This is a post that almost surpasses the other DPBs (damp pants brigade) for the last couple of days.


U ok Hun? What a bizarre and strange rant.

OP: its more than 7 wins in 17 games though isn't it. Don't forget the previous season! McKenna's win ratio has been abysmal iver the last 2 seasons...

I didn’t ask you FB because rain or shine you post and do offer suggestions and positive thoughts in addition to criticism. You are not in the edgelord competition.

I actually agree with your suggestions, especially re a settled team. I don’t care if he plays the club cat in the side - pick what he thinks is his best team and play it. I struggle to see how four or five changes every game helps.

I’d leave Walton in goal too. Akpom over Hirst? I’d have said not, but the latter is not playing his best at the moment so it might be worth a try.

So you want continuity and you're going to achieve that by making a load of changes and sticking several players in positions they've barely played in for us?

Appreciate the irony in it. But I did say pick one side and make only a couple changes per game and no rotating the cb.

I dont really see what we currently do as continuity anyway esp with half a side chances per game so yeah give it a shot. It imo would have a lot better balance to it than our current lineups.

Obv It won't change anyway so its a mute point.

No offence, but having watched us under McKenna for 4 years and having read your posts for longer than that, I think I trust McKenna's judgement on team selection over yours.

He's right that we should be shuffling players into positions they've not played in much for us? I disagree so I think what you meant to say is that you agree with him, whereas I disagree with him. He isn't right, he's giving an opinion with which people are free to agree or disagree.

It’s got to the point where we need a new manger hasn’t it. I reckon we should look at the best performing managers in the Championship over the last 20 years and go for the top one:

Not 100% in agreement, but it's a better metric to use.


Absolutely.

Delap and Huthinson were poor recruitment?

Of course we went for Phillips, Muric and Broja/Ioannidis as key signings that didn't work out and that really cost us (the last two when they didn't get across the line). This season we have gone for Matusiwa, Cajuste, Nunez and Egeli as key signings and also went after Hackney which didn't work out. Did we go for other attacking options to Azon and Akpom?

To say that Matusiwa, Egeli and Nunez were poor recruitment is writing them all off rather early (and in Matusiwa's case strongly against current evidence).

Which bit is he right on?

One minute it is play the same team regardless of how they perform. The next it is swap the wide players over to get the opposition to switch formation. Then it's Hirst isn't performing so get Akpom playing in the 9 role. Then it's play Clarke and Philogene together. Then play Johnson until Burns is fit. And maybe Nunez should be the 10. Or Cajuste. Or maybe Egeli now instead.

You can be pretty sure that, if he had control, Frimley would be changing far more than McKenna does.

Not sure why you're mixing together different ideas during different times on the forum. The swapping over wingers was whilst a game was being played for example based on what was happening at the time

Ive said all season akpom should be the 9 so thats not new

Anyways dont need to go in depth about it all. Im a bloke on a forum not manager of the club so dont need anyone to agree or disagree with it.
