Nuno Out

When he came to the Club one of his best reputations he had was supposedly organising a defence and yet we still regularly concede 3 a game even with his ultra defensive tactics. Chelsea, Wolves, City, Villa in the previous 9 matches in a row conceding 19. 35 in 19 League matches altogether and still not a single clean sheet - even Potter managed one against Forest.

Time to let Nuno go as we dont really need a manager for the rest of the season? Or let this Paco fella have a go.  Start the prep for next season in the championship by giving U21s like Mayers, Kante, orford lots of minutes. Oh no, we dont do thinking ahead

This is crazy talk. 

We're not remotely out of this race yet, and relegation does have the scope to be catastrophic.

Sure, get rid of Nuno at the point the maths means we can't stay up...and stick Paco in then.  But until then...hold the fucking line.

[Massive Attack]

All about the money, classic Sullivan..

[twoleftfeet]

Yes let’s have no manager, what a great idea. Maybe the members of the fan club can vote on a Tuesday about who should play. Superb.

Totally agree with what you have said.
It was written in the stars. Nuno wanted to bring on his love child no 3 to prove to the world that he knew what he was doing. I have received 4 emails this afternoon confirming my ticket but I can see this online too.Traore then went on to try and prove how hard he is by shoving an opponent for no reason. He's a lump of frozen shit.Stinking the place out as he melts.
Watch how Traoe will come on before Wilson in the next few games if Nuno is still here.
Why not keep DIuof on and move him up in place of Summerville who is more vunerable to injury. ?
BnS are to blame for the clubs demise and transfer's in the main. However Nuno is to blame for this clubs relegation. he's had enough opportunity to change . This team is still capable of avoiding relegation but not under Crackhead.

Bowen has to come off at some point and cannot play every minute of every game, and had put a shift in. We've finally got a backup right winger. It's not a crazy move to make at that moment in time.

Maybe I was the only one who thought he was thick as fuck to Sub our goalscoring Captain causing them havoc on 80 minutes. Still, Nuno knows best and didn't that work out well..

What have I said that's wrong on the Bowen substitution?

[El Scorchio]

I think you've gone a little far down the 'hate and blame Nuno for absolutely everything' road TBH. 

[Massive Attack]

He wants to play every minute and is clearly capable of it. Like you say, he was running freely after he went down early in the 2nd half. Few moments later we lose it 3-2, have a mass brawl that led to a red card involving his replacement WWF wrestler. Wouldn't have dreamt of taking off our goalscoring Captain in that particular moment at Stamford Bridge. Yet now Nuno decides to do it for his pet favourite new signing.

[El Scorchio]

Bowen was clearly fine after 2 mins. He'd just rolled his ankle. No dramas. Traore came on because Bowen has played almost 2400 minutes this season- which is 500 minutes more than any other player in the squad and actually an average of over 90 mins per game which just isn't sustainable for a winger- and would have come on for Bowen regardless of Bowen stepping on the ball. He can't play every minute of every game although it's a fucking testament to his fitness and almost non existent injury record. He's been forced to for so long because of absolutely nobody being his backup which an equal testament to the piss poor job Sullivan is doing in not having a squad fit for purpose under four consecutive managers.

[Eerie Decent]

I think you're going a bit too deep into this particular point, but crack on.

[Massive Attack]

The other thing about when Bowen went down was a physio never came on or even called for one. He then carried on for the rest of the half until taken off almost half an hour since it happened which suggests to me he had ran it off enough to get on with it. If he really felt there was an issue then you would expect a manager to take him off much sooner, not 30 minutes after. 

[Massive Attack]

That was before he just bought his lovechild so it's believable he'd chuck him on thinking he could make a difference and for the same position he plays in a lot of the time.

[Eerie Decent]

Given he never takes him off, and he's been our best player and main goal threat for years, I think it's safe to say you've got that one wrong.

[Massive Attack]

I think the Bowen substitution pissed me off just as much, if not more than the Pablo/Kilman one. 

Do you know how many times this season in every single Competition Bowen has been subbed? Just once. In that game against those cunts in an important confidence boosting London Derby having scored a great goal to give us the lead, causing them endless havoc and on course for getting Man of the Match. So what does he decide to do for the 1st time ever this season, sub him off for the freak dogshit lovechild of his which then descends in to a predictable car crash. 

He could not have managed that 2nd half any worse. To the naked eye it could have looked like sabotage. But it's probably worse than that, he just hasn't got a fucking clue.

Bowen was injured. walked off limping.

Was it confirmed by Nuno and Bowen after the game that he could not continue?

For the most part I can take poor results on the chin, but made a cսnt of myself having a go at Chelsea fan after the game. 

Had we gone into the game and got soundly beaten like I expected, I’d have had a much easier time than I did accepting the result, but my overriding emotion is to the bald surrender monkey is sacked because he threw in the towel when 2-0 up. 

Coming out in the second half to hold into a lead was 
fucking stupid, particularly considering how assured we looked in the first half. The pièce de résistance was the Pablo sub for Kilman as his most gutless move. 

Kilman has been a disaster, so what was going through his tiny mind bringing on a player who offers nothing? 

We need wins, we were well on our way to winning comfortably at half-time playing some sublime football, but he chose to bottle it and protect a lead and keep 10 me behind the ball despite conceding in every game. With our attacking players vs our defensive frailties, the most effective form of defence was attack.

The Championship beckons and I don’t care, but as we’re going down without a fight, we don’t need a manager. May as well stick David Sullivan in the dugout seeing as the midget cսnt think he knows best 

Going down without a fight?

Last 3 games shows me different. 

Yea of course we have more fight in us recently, just not when really matters. After fighting to be ahead 2-0, Under the direction of our manager we backed off and gave up the 3 points. 

[BoleynGone]

Eusobio.
Nuno alluded to this,he actually mentioned the full backs got over run. What did he do but bring on our worst player.
We could have easily put Scarles and KWP on pushing Diuof and AWB further forward.   Summerville with Bowen up top. This still would have had an outlet. Soucek could have been replaced with either Potts or Magassa for extra energy.
Looks like though Traroe has replaced Paqueta as one of Nuno's love child. 
Stupid signing 

[Mad Ferret]

I like Bigot, but he must've been pissed sending that.

The Traore for Bowen substitution yesterday effectively cost us a centre back for the three games he is suspended.

Without Traore initiating it the melee doesn't occur and there and Tobido doesn't lose his head.

Apart from that Bowen was far more likely to cause them problems if he got the service.

The recruitment is diabolical 

We don't sign a centre half who we desperately need and sign centre forwards who don't score goals plus muscle-bound wingers who have no end product on previous evidence who like starting rucks.

It can't be that difficult to sign effective players in the right positions surely ?

Or do the decent ones not want to sign for us in our current state ?
