Match Reaction vs Blackburn Rovers!

[Kano]

More like when the squad lacks real quality beyond a few, probably. Ox, Gervinho, Coquelin, Diaby etc were really really poor today. Some have potential and some are dead ducks but in the here and now there isn't the quality there to make wholesale changes and expect to win all these types of game. The first XI in itself is hardly brilliant.

i think a new manager could motivate this lot to do better than today. we've seen it enough with the first team and slow, half hearted starts. this squad is better than battling for fourth in my opinion - especially in the current state of this league. not a title winning team but could at least give it a better shot than this.

Out of fa cup hopefully get smashed by bayern and finish outside top 4 survey then someone has got to wake up and smell the coffee

no one knows if it will be a good thing. a lot of the players love him, it might cause problems if he is sacked, you jsut dont know. i think its worth a try now to get a new manager, but we cannot say for absoutle certainity that it will be a good thing. the new manager could come in, and we could do even worse.

well you never know until you try and we are past the point of clinging on to what we have just for the sake of it. you get nowhere without a gamble - exactly what we are seeing season on season here.

We've been dumped out of both cups by Football League opponents, I think it's safe to say now the bloke in charge is the problem because there's no way these players should have lost these games, we are completely devoid of any sort of winning mentality. It's ridiculous, 8 years and we've not even managed to fluke a cup win along the way to keep things a little bit sweet.

Wenget needs to walk away in the summer, he's got nothing left to give.

Yep, we're going nowhere with the mad professor. I'm willing to take the gamble.

I would not put us in the top 25 or 30 sides most likely to win either domestic cup.

Every single P.L side I would back over us to win a trophy and plenty of clubs from outside. Same for next season. Odds of about 100/1 would reflect our actual likelihood.

I really don't give a shit anymore. Fuck em. Fans need to stop paying money for this shit.

not very realistic though is it. football fans anywhere don't work like that en masse, which is exactly why owners of clubs get away with murder.

Attendance is down this year. More empty seats than usual. Plus there is very little point in talking about it all the time if we contribute to the problem by sitting idle.

that's absolute bollocks to suggest the fans are part of the problem. fans love their club. they will keep going week on week. why do you think portsmouth have fans turning up? 12 or something game lost in a row, points deduction on its way, relegation after relegation. it happens everywhere and the principal applies to every club. fans have hope and always will. its an escape route from the bullshit grind of the week. sit behind a keyboard and calling fans idle is even more cowardly. what are you doing, not going? that's not enough by your reckoning. do something more.
