Keith Scott 294 Posted January 23, 2020 Farke has been a massive disappointment this season. His in game management, use of subs, and ability to see what is going on in front of his eyes have been all but non existent this season. Even worse than Hughton at his peak. His stubbornness or just incapability to change our style when necessary is just another shortcoming to add to the list. To many he is untouchable after last season. Unfortunately last season is the past as brilliant as it was. This season he has been found wanting massively. It's interesting to compare him to Wilder who has shone in this division. A big part of that is not just his tactical awareness but his overall demeanour. He acts like they belong in the prem and when they fall short he hammers his players. He has the fear factor. Farke again fails in this department. Too nice, too accepting of defeat in this league as proved again with his post match comments last night. He acts, like the club in general, from owners to fans, that we don't belong in the Premier League and are just happy to be here. In closing, my view is Farke is a very good, albeit one dimensional, coach. But a very good manager he is not. All the best, Keith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Scott 294 Posted January 23, 2020 Of course Farke wasn't backed Midlands. Did anyone expect our tinpot board to back him? But that still doesn't detract from the fact Farke has shown many deficiencies as a manager this season as highlighted in my original post. Anyway must go. Oh and cheers Bob. All the best.

Keith Scott 294 Posted January 23, 2020 Again, this thread proves my point. It instantly goes back to hammering the board and glossing over the manager's numerous short comings. We all know the board aren't fit to run a Premier League football club. It's as plain as the nose on Phil Thompson's face. However Farkes in game management, woeful use of subs, or lack of, and acceptance of defeat are irrelevant to backing from the board. This season both the board and the manager have proven they are not cut out for this league. Anyway, I really must be off this time. Have a good one. Keith Scott.

vlad666 207 Posted January 23, 2020 I think the way farke has kept his dignity with the impossible job he’s been given this year is admirable. To gain promotion as champions was miraculous. As we know we had to settle debts this year so money was really tight. We definitely should have pushed the boat out more though with a couple of important additions but this is in no way farkes fault. Many of our players need to be at the top of their game to be good championship players and the premiership is a step too far. Again not farkes fault as he has improved most players. Farke isn’t perfect but I wouldn’t swap him with anybody else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
