It obviously is a drop but it's been one season since he has left, a season in which they won a trophy. You said check them out pre and post Tomasson as if there was years of struggle before and after.

What? It's true isn't it? Your point was to imply they were worse off after he left, mine was prove they had success, which they did so not reaching in the slightest.

They won the cup after he left too. Another trophy and success under a different manager.

You mean the most successful team in Sweden? You can't really use them as an example when trying to support his managerial ability. Yeah he done well with them but it's like getting the Celtic or Rangers job and doing well. You don't have to have much about you to be a success there. Not hating just being realistic.

Yeah course it could but it could be alot better too. Not his fault he got the job but equally if he choose to walk as some have alluded to I wouldn't be bothered in the least.

I agree and as it happens because it's a recognised name in football it masks his unproven record. It done the trick in the same way Lampard or similar does/did when in reality the jury is out big time on their managerial abilities.

From what I have seen so far I wouldn't be devastated. Yes he is working with maniacs and people of limited ability to put it nicely but his inability to change a game is down to him and him alone.

I'm optimistic on both fronts for some reason...might have to check myself in to some facility come Wednesday.

Unintentional but very fitting 😂😂😂

Pretty depressing round these parts today, when expectation are low due to experience it helps to soften the blow. Hopefully tomorrow brings a few surprises, we shall see.

It's time....https://media2.giphy.com/media/i8Udr19doZnqEQTPxu/200.gif

Well I've banged that drum too but unfortunately we seemed to have either a very stupid or very stubborn manager

New left back required 2 New Midfielders needed 1 (maybe 2) Strikers needed. Imagine we will get 1 midfielder and 1 "attacker". Come the summer we will need other places filled. Then next January the same and round and round we go. We just don't seem to have the forward thinking to sort each position, when we had decent strikers the defence was in bits ..when the defence was in a good place the attack wasn't up to it. Its like revamping your house. You sort the bathroom and kitchen but you leave it so long or use cheap materials when doing the bedroom or living room that the house just never seems to be up to the required standard. Before long the bathroom and kitchen need addressing again. It's poor planning basically.

Disappointing overall. Would have loved to have seen it out but you just can't trust this team, it's mentally weak but hopefully we can go there and get the win and carry on and get a big draw in the next round.

Haha good one...we don't have a midfield.

Spoke to soon... questions over Kaminski again.

Has to be JRC for MOM...been the standout today.

I'll go with Croft as he is the superior choice

You are right ...I take it back. JRC no.9! Problem solved. Joe Rankin-Costello-Diaz.

Don't think JRC is mobile or quick enough to play in the middle of the park.

Jesus, George Friend still on the go. Always rates him at Boro and wanted us to sign him loads of times.

Go on Joe...having a great game. Get in!!

What you on about? There is nothing good to say... read the thread, don't think anyone else agrees with you so stop acting like I'm saying anything outrageous. Why is it spam? For highlighting his inabilities that are costing the team I love? The great passes have been downgraded to good now have they? Why is it someone's elses fault? Pair of them in it today. You are frustrated because the truth hurt and not by what I'm actually saying so don't direct it at me like I'm saying anything controversial.

Exactly. Can't afford to have one midfielder not pulling their weight let alone two.

Buckley stopped himself. Stop living in denial. They are both playing today and are having a personal competition of who can be more useless.
