Yeh fair assessment. I didn't think Hwang was terrible just chasing shadows, but again our set up didn't support him. Reminded me of rvw sat up on his own having to make, fashion and finish moves

If we had attacked from the get go I think we could hs e given them a real headache as they clearly didn't like it up em!! Should have pressed them high and early and they would have capitulated we saw that at the end.

It's apathy to bad football. It's been with us since farke was fired. Like today, if have preferred to have lost 2-1 and to have attacked from the begining and seen entertaining football. At the end of the day football is entertainment so should be entertaining - it has not been for 3 seasons now. This is the problem. Yes yes football is a points business etc etc but I'd rather as stated lose and be entertained than soy back with 11 men backing off and win 1-0. It's boring. Also the drum does not help as it's like a giant "clap now" sign. It stifles any organic noise or chanting. The 3 songs on repeat are tinpot and it sounds ****ing stupid in all honesty. The noise we had under Lambert, wee baldy and farke was organic produced by fans who were entertained and enjoying watching the team play. I was actually encouraged to see the majority of fans ignoring the drum today actually.

It's the drum it actually stifles genuine crowd response. It pains me that people actually think it's a pro active move to generate crowd involvement. It's like canned laughter or a big sign saying "cheer now" Glad that people seemed very not plused in joining in with the 3 songs the drummer boy knows.

Haha a thunderbastard 🤣

And replace Wagner with who?? Will still? Knutson? Let's be more realistic... Ted from down at Diss Rangers

I did a summary

Ah that always sucks, I want to think he was abroad? Edit: Just checked it was Belgium, but genuinely he has done more than I thought! (Good Ol FM)

Fair play, i would reckon Barnes is on a wedge but Argos is a little more humble and just happy to be here. (Might be wrong)

They also still have their knickers in a twist over that Argentine loon Bielsa. So we wait for them to fire farke, we offer Danny boy the keys to the city then pick up where we left off. Sign Mumba back and Carlton Morris then everyone will be happy

Wasn't it Cameron mcgheeghan who Huck's labeled as the most technically gifted players he worked with? He went off to obscurity although he married one of the wazzoks from made in Chelsea so netted himself a top end wag.

Ffs wet your knickers over a loss against mill wall why not? You miss the part where Clough hated don revey due to a slight when he was the derby manager and how he wanted to get Leeds away from the "dirty Leeds" chest to win attitude. He publically hated Leeds and Leeds publically hated him and they appointed him as manager. Using this with Knapper is a stupid analogy. Go get pissed over new year for FFS.

I find this thread genuinely hilarious. Rus Martin was mentioned in hushed tones around a few when Smith was stinking the place up with his weak placid cups of tea and football. Anyone mentioning Martin would get a "Look at Swansea" retort or something about him being a crap defender. Now look at yall, fickle bunch.

Drums back All you will hear is Sara Sara Sara and Johnny Rowe on repeat like some kind of tinpot radio station. Kiss goodbye to organic noise / protest until they get beat up by Ipswich fans and go and cower for another 3 months . At least the snake pit hurl abuse at them about only sing when your drumming

Argos is someone you need in the dressing room. I would keep him around as an impact sub. Barnes is past it unfortunately but again for his experience its a player you keep around for an impact. Rest of them I totally agree with Gibson, Long and Springett fighting it out to be at the front of the bus que.

See I dont recall that they had. Like i remember the types who think we should win the Champions League ( I put them in the same camp as Ipswich fans who still think they are European greats) who will boo over anything and then everyone else who knew that we had recruited badly. I think Farke had enormous credit in the bank at this stage. Also look at that run, we shouldnt have expected many more points than we got, 7-0 at Stamford Bridge was probably the toughest one to take. Also just for interest, look at those first 4 games, that and the media sending us down before we kicked a ball what did we expect? Again it just goes along my hate for Dean Smith, Farke will always be the one that got away. Fcuking criminal decision which is the worst of the modern era by the club. Ironically hiring him being perhaps the best - although (tin hat on) hiring Webber who found him was perhaps the best hire of the modern era. Although he out stayed his welcome dramatically. Many strands in a spiders web i guess 🙂

Disagree He had the charisma of a wet paper bag and clearly his heart was still in the Midlands somewhere rather than with us. Players regressed under him. We went from playing exciting football to boring pragmatic stuff, he made us boring and started the rot we have in place here. At least under Wagner at times we get a bit of entertainment and good football. Anyway, its like harping on about an old school bully or crazy ex. Hes gone and better forgotten frankly.

He outstayed his welcome from the minute he was appointed.

On the bright side if the Binmen keep up their current from a tonking from Saints could well put Ipswich out of the automatic spots 😄 Edit: @JonnyJonnyRowe beat me by seconds 😄

Last year was way worse than this. Im actually enjoying elements of this year compared to the last two.

Smith got a year when everyone could see he was not the man for the job. He should have been out when we were mathematically down

I think he's better than idah as a starting option. I wouldn't sign him though as he still has the legal stuff hanging over him.

Thought this was a binner thread as Hirst is out long term

There was quite a thrill though when you knew you stole one or the rage when your opposition did and you had to debate it down the pub or in the evening. Now var spoils all of that

It's like the Jerome bicycle kick, rule it out it's Norwich we need them to go down
