rock bus 1,057 Posted January 2, 2023 I honestly can’t understand why we didn’t make any tactical subs today? Clearly wasn’t working with 3 upfront again. If you were interim manager would you not make at least 2 or 3 changes to get a result? Might as well lose 2-0 by trying to win it. Webber really needs to get this managerial appointment right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t be Krul 452 Posted January 2, 2023 4 attackers on bench, no cutting edge, no subs. If Russell is under consideration for the job full time then we have completely regressed as a club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 4,272 Posted January 2, 2023 As I said in the match thread, you've got this one chance as a manager, why would you just do nothing??? Just baffling. Need a proper manager ASAP, can't trust this idiot with them any longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted January 2, 2023 How can Todd not get on when the Cisco Kid and Pancho are just really rubbish. As I said earlier, German imports very good. Oh but lets find another Emi, forget Europeans. We have found Emus not Emis. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be used far more than he has been. It's been said many a time, he's unfit, got groin issues and personal issues. Since then he's had time to regain some fitness and take a place on the bench, a battling effort against some monster athletes at 0-1 probably not what he needed.

Capt. Pants 5,005 Posted January 2, 2023 Had Smith still been in charge this forum would have been in meltdown. Russell is good for nothing, get shot of urgently. Even if we don't appoint a new first team coach he has to go. Put Adams in, can't be any worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Russell is no manager but is also potentially expendable so while the hangover of Smith continues it makes no sense to put Adams, a permanent fixture in the club, under the cosh. Russell can take the experience and settle back to the coaching staff where he belongs having just shepherded us for a very temporary spell. He seems like he has a good relationship with the players and is hopefully able to stem the bleeding of confidence a little until a manager of better calibre and expertise comes in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
