If we sack Selles then whoever comes in still has massive problems. Only two strikers in the squad. Neither Brooks or Ukaki can command a starting place on the right wing. If Barry gets injured then we have no left winger to replace him. Peck is crap. Hamer and O'Hare can't play together. Hamer looks half arsed and spends all game looking for another highlight for his scrapbook but neglects the basics and gives the ball away constantly in doing so. If someone else comes in how are they going to fix these problems with the window closing in a week? The squad is full of holes, lacking in depth and imbalanced where we don't have many options to suit certain formations. The recruitment team need hammering for this shambles as much as the manager.

Meanwhile Coventry, the team that didn’t bin the manager that got them in the Play offs are 6-0 up against QPR!

Continuing and small changes.

Idiots. The need to fix this asap.

 

[SLB]

0 changes after that half is dereliction of duty

He started the first match with this idea of open, attacking football. It backfired and now he simply doesn't know what to do.

 

[TheSecondComing]

We're missing Brewsters movement

He gave up on that after 45 mins. We need to move on.

More like it

 

[harrry1990s]

Hecky did well. Our board mistreated him.

 

[hull-Blade]

Absolute dross .

Begs the question, what the hell do we do in training ? No game plan Selles

 

[skegblade]

We dont have that board now and heckys working ,this lot arent sacking selles paying him up and paying compo for hecky, doubt hed come anyhow

 

[blAdes96]

I do empathise with Cannon. He didn’t set his price tag!

I’m not fond of the mock chanting and applause/ booing a sub, how does that aid confidence or morale especially in circumstances…

 

[toledo]

Hamer will want out after this performance….

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

What a fucking nob head Hamer is.

Why do we need to cycle between the same two managers to not play like relegation fodder. It’s so jarring.

 

[Toronto Blade]

92 last season hate to think what it will be this season.Next up away to Ipswich and Boro

 

[SLB]

Hamer will want out after this performance….

Yep. Sometimes you can sense a relegation fighting season after just three or four games. This is one of them and I think a couple of the squad will be already thinking that.

 

[SwissBlade]

Thst involves not playing Peck at CDM as he sall over the shop and doesn't look interested. Where's Soumare?

Practically playing on his own in there needs someone alongside him

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

This may be the earliest i've ever wanted a manager out. He was brought in to play high pressing, attacking football but there's zero pressing when they have the ball, and we're not even having shots on target. It's clearly not working, and he clearly has no plan b

 

[Thrice]

It's also blatantly obvious that another quality forward is needed. Tanganga alone won't solve this mess.

I am worried that first game highlighted the defensive issues but they then completely forgot about the other end of the pitch

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Could be worse. Could be a QPR fan right now - 7-0 down after 70 minutes yikes

 

[HackeyBlade]

Losing to a team that contains a 33 year old Ryan Leonard, my fucking god

 

[Red Hot Currie]

What a fucking nob head Hamer is.

Said in another post... I'm not in any way ITK but go on Eccy Road and talk to the staff in the fancy pubs. Hamer is well known. He said to someone I know (family member) one lunchtime about 4-5 weeks ago as he was sipping at the bar that it would be 'the last time' that he drank there and 'the last time' that he'd be in the city. Didn't sound too dedicated to the cause to me.... but I ignored it now I'm starting to think that there may be a bit of truth in it.

 

[FriethBlade]

Not his position he needs to be further forward with Soumare sitting behind him

You'd think after getting the most yellow cards in the Championship last season he might try to calm it down a bit.

But nah, just carry on lad.

He can fuck off then

 

[moody1889]

We could have the best strike force in the league we still won't progress with Selles in charge sack him now

What is Cannon's actual position? I'm assuming it isn't out right. Feels like he's been set up to fail.

 

[Nonamedhorse]

15 minutes for at least a draw or he goes for me.

 

[paidsy]

15 minutes for at least a draw or he goes for me.

Win or sacked

At least we don't have a Bladey Blade in charge anymore though
