How long is this manager contracted for?

Absolutely no joy agreed
That was so simple. Shows how awful these lads are.
Great finish!
The thing is, if they got at these lads at all you just know they'd collapse, but we still look lethargic out there.
Have to get Johnston on in the next five minutes. He'll create chances by himself in a way no-one else we have can.
We all need to take a collective look at ourselves. Because we are blaming this manager, that manager, this player, that player, this formation, that formation, pointing to what we think we know about football, about our players, their clubs and their roles at those clubs and then disparaging the weak opposition.
We have a minority of players who are vital to their clubs, but none of them - not one - who are vital in a part of the pitch that wins you games for a club of importance. Not even Ferguson yet.
They are either defenders, or they are water carriers who have better players to do it for them.
We point to results in MEANINGLESS matches and how expending maximum effort and some skill against teams with bigger and better priorities as another reason why we deserve to beat 'minnows' such as Armenia etc, all while ignoring the difficulties that these perceived minnows have caused us.
We mock Armenia for getting the **** pumped out of them the other night by arguably one of the best teams in the world right now - the same team gave us a tonking not too long ago. What ****ing right do we have to laugh at Armenia?
I hear you to a point, but would a single Armenian make our squad?
I'm sure that չափավոր անհանգստացած on foot.ar is equally saying the same thing about us.Quote:

Get Azaz off, and Johnston on.
What would his marital status have to do with it?Quote:

And rightly so. We all know these games are a struggle and we’re almost never going to hammer them. I’m not sure anyone was laughing at them or taking them for granted. What we should be able to expect though is some sort of coherent approach and sense of shape and tactics. We knew what Kenny wanted to do, but couldn’t execute and had no plan B. HH gave the impression he’d make the team tactically sound, with a cohesive shape and basic style. What’s happening tonight is worse than anything in the recent past. We’ve got players with far more experience, playing at a very high level and they look like a badly organised Astro league team who’ve just met for the first time. It’s baffling.Quote:

Brentford are winners over the last couple of games, Kelleher's value has just gone up for the way he has kept his awful international side in games.
No decent players in the centre of the park though.Quote:
