Guys why do you want Sheff Utd to lose? If they lose it'll be one promotion spot gone next season like Leeds.
Come on you Blades!
We never lost to Sheff Utd, in fact i'd say we ever so slightly edged it over them over the 2 games.
What a garbage league this is.
Yes, the boys in suits make the rules and are responsible for VAR etc. It just seems that certain clubs always seem to profit from them, and you can definitely include Man Utd in that list.Or when his side couldn't win his last game in charge despite being 5-2 up with 10 minutes to go!
The most pleasure I got from watching Fergie was when his face and nose matched the colour of his team`s shirts just after they'd just been knocked out of a European cup!
Can't remember where but I'm sure I've read somewhere that although he was raised in Wales this particular Welshman was born to English parents.......... in Shrewsbury....... in good old Ingerland
.
Do you know anything about him? Genuine question because I don’t. Please enlighten me and others.He knows he's Welsh but has so far not said why this needed mentioning.
Bristol had a lucky run at the right time whereas the teams around proper messed up. Same can be said of Cov who may have a chance as Sunderland have been dreadful as well. Shef should walk it.
Inevitable really, because its about the identity of the club. Players, managers come and go, but certain things stay the same, which is what binds the fans to their club. The club name, the geographical location and the colours. Any administrators that mess around with them, do so at their peril.A good start to the new season and any problems with a new shirt will be forgotten...just like last season.
Apologies for reopening Corberan debate it wasn't my intention the point I was trying to make was thinking that bringing in a Corberan clone if there is such a thing (Cifuentes might have had a similar approach) does not necessarily fix our issues.Your point was clear enough that's why your post was left on. It was the following posts that were off track and not for this thread.
The closed season gives us the opportunity of a reset and appointing a coach that aligns with that reset. However that is dependant on a fairly significant cull of the squad. Without it I don't think there is a coaching appointment that we could make that will move the dial. Maybe someone like Steve Cooper could work the alchemy required but those coaches are very few and far between and even they might flounder with our current crop of Senior Pro's.
I'm looking for next manager chat not discussions about previous managers. I'm sure there's another thread you could use....
Cheers for Dike in achieving 60 minutes playing time which I confess I never thought possible given his injury record. I suppose with 5 subs, 60 minutes is adequate for a forward.
So this raises a question of when to deploy him.
In terms of tactics, is it better to play him for the first 60 minutes or bring him on at half time when the opposition's legs are tiring? Also, last stage, he would provide an outlet when defending a lead.
It has to be decided how we want to play before appointing the new head honcho. With hindsight going from Corberan's style to Mowbray was a massive leap of faith & one that' was unlikely to have any chance of success at least in the short term.
The new man needs to appointed so he can appraise what he has and try and bring in what he needs/wants to implement the way he wants to set up. To do it the other way round is asking for trouble and likely to fail
Not sure how he turned them round when they still got relegated .
Fingers crossed this true, because if do have to pay up the other 2 years of his contract we would have been foolish to have paid it all upon his departure rather than putting him on gardening leave hoping someone will give him a job.It's not true. Hull Daily Mail have a story on Selles and an "end of season review" taking place. They have specifically said that club hierarchy have said no to Mowbray IF they sack Selles.
He loves football so hopefully won't want sit around getting his salary from us, especially having missed a with his illness.
Rumours that Selles is about to be gone from Hull too.Hull City are conducting an " end of season review" according to Hull Daily Mail.
@DarrenOWitcoop
Ruben Selles is fighting to keep his job at Hull City despite keeping the club in the Championship
We conceded 3 goals to a side who got relegated and looked pretty poor so have to take performance with pinch of salt.You can add Dike to the list of pre peak players as he's still only 24.
Price showed he needs to have the team built around him. I like Diakite being in there in that yacob/yokusulu role. Fellows had a very good game and if we had left him on we would have got 6 or 7 rather than just 5. Styles showed he should be playing further forward- his defending was suspect but he looked dangerous great cross with 2 goals. Karlan Grant had a good game.
Dike was a handful he did some ok link play and was more of a threat than Armstrong had been up there in previous weeks. Hopefully he can stay fit for next year and be rotated with Maja.
Concerningly we looked suspect at the back besides Heggem. As I said styles further forward new left back. Another cb to go with Heggem- will it be Taylor?
Nice to see lots of young players or pre peak players in side: Griffiths heggem styles price diakite Fellows. Whitwell off the bench. Hopefully we can get rid of some of the overpaid poor contribuitors this summer and see more of the attacking flair from this game with a little more defensive stability
One thing that seems clear from Mowbray's goodbye press conference is that Dike is never going fully to recover his fitness and it's about time he was persuaded to take the professional insurance due from his injuries. I presume all players take out that insurance as do clubs?Oof ...I know hindsight is a wonderful thing.but.....
Fans should stop hoping that he is going to return and make everything right.
If Mowbray didn't think he was training properly then he's just leeching off the club.
Bristol got in with 38 is sickening. Today shouldn't distract from how awful this season has been. Sunderland lost again and Sheff Utd are beatable. Promotion was there this season...If they had got in with 38 it would be amazing!
Anyway happy for Dike and Style has been our best signing imo
Where has all these goal scoring from Fellows been all season? Acted like he bangs them in regularly today!
If only we sacked Mowbray a few games ago...
We need to be where we are to prompt as thorough a reset as we can achieve.Sheff utd will need to break their play off hoodoo to go up.
We're getting rid of some expensive and utter dross now, so a big double hurrah for that.
We've got some great young players remaining that we can hopefully build around and let's face it, Sheffield United are the third club going up. Saved us further heartache really.
any were decrying that the job was too small for him. Turned out it wasnt the size of job but the money on offer.
Lopetegui has made zillions from his sackings at RM, Wolves and West Ham. He doesnt really need the money. I think he would have come here, with the right pitch (WNA is a MUCH bigger job than Qatar, FFS).
Still chasing the dollar, I see. To those who said he wouldn't interested, at least it shows he was a realistic candidate for the job.
To reiterate, I think the Baggies job is very tasty. If you look at the largest and best run clubs in the country:
(a) there aren't actually many jobs likely to be available in the near future
(b) those that are likely to become available are at unstable, basketcase clubs.
