Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 12, 2022 Just now, Robert N. LiM said: Can anyone think of a decent 90 minute performance this season? I can't Millwall was probably our most ‘complete’ - had control of the whole game without ever really looking outrageously good, just a solid 7/10 throughout. However most of our games have been characterised by 8-9/10 performances for 20 minutes and 4-5/10 for the rest. Just nowhere near the sum of our parts. Wish we’d pulled the trigger a few games ago when we looked like toast. Now we’ll most definitely be persisting with Smith for the rest of the season save for a total disaster. Clearly the Stoke game was not a turning point and we won’t have one now under Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 434 Posted November 12, 2022 Middlesbrough looked a far, far better team than Norwich. How long has Carrick been in charge? Amazing what a difference a good manager makes…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s be honest the squad is average at best, how many of these players could cut it in the top flight? Not many, Pukki maybe? A major overhaul is what’s needed of the dross we have I don't think anyone thinks this squad could cut it in the top flight, I can't think of any of our players who would, but they should be cutting it at this level, this squad is capable of much more in the Champs.

And as the classic phrase goes, we’ve “given him until Christmas”… as the league stops now until then. 😉 Perfect time to make a change, as this is just dire to watch and there are little signs it’s going to improve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 12, 2022 The only period of hope in the 2nd half was when Max put in 10 minutes attacking. And who was trying to prevent their goal. Max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GodlyOtsemobor 2,246 Posted November 12, 2022 Get rid tonight, take a week or so looking at the options, get the new man in, they then have a few weeks to work with what we have. Step in and do it Mark! you know it makes sense! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clever Farke 64 Posted November 12, 2022 Played well for the 20 mins then stood off way too much which handed the initiative over. This happens almost every game. I don’t know if it’s an attempt at game management or they simply run out of puff. Either way it is poor. And it happens in almost every match. Grounds for dismissal certainly but I doubt it would happen. Can we swap Smith for Carrick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right you'll never get a better chance for a new manager to make an impact. Two wins in the last 10 matches and now only one point separates us from falling out of the play off places, The only trajectory we’re following is downward so any calls for his sacking are not based just on today. A perfect opportunity has presented itself to get a new man in with plenty of time to get up and running. We should grab it with both hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 644 Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Just seen that Robins has got 22 points out of the last 27 at Coventry... Bloody hell, just seen they are only 3 points behind us Edited November 12, 2022 by alex_ncfc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
