Nuno Out

2,500 posts by the end of the season?

We did concede 3 goals today. We are still very poor defensively. Not good!

[fraser]

I was highly suspicious at the time of him coming in whether he was really motivated by the job or a lot more interested in the mega payday he'd get regardless of how he got on. I don't think he'd be all that fussed if he was sacked tomorrow just in time before Christmas. Postecoglu at Forest all over again.

I don't mind you Massive son, you talk a lot of sense but you only have to have seen how angry he was last week to see he cares, you're talking bollocks in this case.

2 wins from 11, a 13% win ratio. Thrown away leads in about half the games, thrown the rest by bottling it or self sabotage.

He's got to go.

 

 

18% But yeah, he is comfortably the worst performing manager we have ever had. 

If we don't pick up a win before January, I can't see anyone that could really make a difference wanting to join us either.

[Massive Attack]

Get him in if this continues. Someone who would genuinely lift the place. Short term fix maybe but we are getting desperate now with Nuno making little impact, last unconvincing win 6 games ago a shocking Burnley side.

Having played in Europe mid-week, Villa we’re there for the taking today. Especially after going a goal up within 30 seconds.

It’s extremely disappointing to lose all three points from there. The mentality and quality is still missing.

[southbankbornnbred]

Said it before the season started and nothing has changed my mind: I still think we’re watching a relegation team. And not just because we’re in 18th place: it’s just hard to see where clean sheets and wins will come from right now.

It’s a little better than under Potter. Because he was a devastatingly shite manager. But the “bounce” under a better coach (Nuno) hasn’t been great. We’re still a side and squad with deep problems.

Only a very good transfer window (ins and outs, as we don’t have a lot of cash) and a significant improvement in form saves us now. But it’s mid-December. We don’t have long to sort this shit out.

Did you 2 go to the game? Of course not. This isn’t on Nuno, the second goal is down to Paqueta and the 3rd we backed off but it was a class finish. We just need a focal point in attack.

Spurs did well

Why the fuck do you keep asking people if they went to the game and mentioning you did in every post like it gives your opinion more validity, especially when you normally don't go and tell others that do that your opinion is better then theirs when you're not there... Can you see the hypocrisy... You dopey thick cսnt 

[twoleftfeet]

Did you 2 go to the game? 

Yes mate.

I paid £15 for my ticket, just like you.

Yea of course you did

Wilson on the bench again!

His insistence on selecting two liabilities in CM will cost him/us dearly.

[dealcanvey]

Marshall should never be played at this level.

That is what a Huddersfield fan told me. Watched him loads. Not even really that good at their level. 

Honest, will bring energy. But a career destined for the lower leagues.


 

 

Agree he dont look up to premier league standard but he did get their player of the year at Huddersfield so to say not good at their level is harsh!

[Jean-Luc Paul Goddard]

Earthy started 11 games for them last season.

 

Was gonna say, 37 seemed too much.

I remember him struggling to break into their team for the majority of the season.

Most of those 37 appearances were 5 minute cameos at the end of the game.

It definitely wasn't mostly 5 minute cameos. He played less than 15 minutes in only 6 out of his 40 games for them. He played at least 27 minutes in ALL of Bristol City's last 15 games, and in another dozen games before then.

You can see minutes played per game on transfermarkt:

[Sir Alf]

Earthy is ready for minutes again now imo. A 15 min cameo here and there. He’s a quick thinker, great at finding pockets of space and a good ball carrier, 2 footed and great passer.  He was ahead of Potts at one point but his development has been slowed due to injuries at the start of last season and this one too.  He has had only 4 or 5 games since a long lay off Iirc and it takes a time to build the match fitness needed for 90 mins and obviously thats even harder at PL level where the game is an order of magnitude faster and places huge physical demands on players.  Todibo is a case in point, I think his improvement is in part down to having a proper run of games along with better coaching and being switched to play the left sided CB role. Not playing with Kilman more recently probably a factor too but his fitness levels got to where they needed to be simply by having a long run of games.

Anyway, back to Earthy, like I say, hoping he starts getting some minutes perhaps as a late sub for Fernandes who he seems most similar to in terms of playing style / profile.

Earthy started 11 games for them last season. To be fair, I would have him on the bench, but it's hardly a moaning hill to die on for fuck sake.

And I don't have a thing for Marshall, he's just not good enough. The manager did bring him on in a game, and he was ridiculously shit. Soucek has come on in 2 games and scored important goals, much as he's not for me as a player.

Anyway, as said before, you crack on wasting energy on digging the manager out for not sticking even more youth players on the bench. I'll be a bit more realistic about the overall situation. 

"you crack on wasting energy on digging the manager out for not sticking even more youth players on the bench"

Haha, jesus christ Eerie......you used to be half decent on here. 

Did I? When was that?

[Eerie Decent]

Eerie,
12 games actually 25 sub appearances and most of them 35 minutes plus.
He was BC YOUNG PLAYER OF THE YEAR. no mean feet.
He got better as the season went on.
he's a player and will benefit the team.
He's scored in the PL.

Yeah, as I said, I'd probably have him on the bench, but I'm not sure it's really worth having a meltdown about. Plus, he has been injury prone in his short career, and was out until recently. By all accounts, he was puffing after an hour last night, maybe that's why he's not been on the bench?

We're not leaving out prime Payet, are we.
