Please not Solskjaer though. He's terrible.

Give him a short term contract for starters. 5 matches.

 

[Aston max]

Seriously though he's lost the players,you can almost feel it .

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Can see why the players aren't playing for this cunt, just lost 5-0 and he's completely emotionless, needs sacking tonight

 

[Chimpan-A]

Seriously though he's lost the players,you can almost feel it .

Easily done. The Ipswich strikers were doing it all night.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

This is the sort of result we should have had at Boro btw

So it's 2 similar things in a row

Was just going to post the same,we got away with a hammering at Boro because they could not take their chances......Ipswich took theirs.

 

[Thrice]

You have to feel for Selles though. You can see that he's devastated. Almost looks like he has tears in his eyes. And at least he's not hiding from the fans.

 

[metalblade]

Adrian Heath had more idea than this clueless prick

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

When you play a CB at RB then it shows because they just keep backing off.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Nobody should feel sorry for Selles… he’s lied in his job interview! Guys a total charlatan… he’s not anywhere near the level and he will rightfully be sacked after this result. If he had any integrity he’d resign quite frankly!
The worrying question is though… who recommend him in the first place??!!

 

[Sufferinsilence]

How the fuck can this board defend this utter shite of a manager, we are absolutely clueless.

 

[shrubbery]

Best, and most constructive relevant post tonight. Take note certain morons on this site !

Are you fucking joking? Identify one positive thing that this clown has achieved since game one. We are comfortably the worst team in the division with nowhere near the worst squad. That lies predominantly at the managers feet.

 

[William Large]

Best, and most constructive relevant post tonight. Take note certain morons on this site !

Go on then… tell us what positives Selles has brought ? What has he done to improve us?
Five of the starting line up were signed by him.
From a team seemingly working for one another last season (admittedly with some poor performances) what has Selles go to offer?
We are bottom of the league having been well beaten in EVERY game this season.

 

[Seun]

But you have to ask out of all the players why would you make peck captain. A young lad in his 2nd full season and struggling for form. Is there not a more experienced leader. …. Sorry no leaders out there tonight

It's Peck's birthday tommorow so was supposed to be a treat.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Have a couple more bottles and we'll fill you in on events

Adrian Heath had more idea than this clueless prick

At was at the lane the night there was less than 8,000 against reading and remember that welll to be honest tonight feels like that

He didn’t have an interview.

 

[Blacksea]

You could see what was going to happen from the first 5 to 10 minutes when they got in down Godfreys side about 3 times.
Selles should have done something then to change it and just let it happen and keep happening.

 

[N20 Blade]

Port Vale? We were all there.

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

Just woeful. Both Ipswich and Boro are nowhere near as good as we were last year, yet we are giving these teams the confidence they need to kick on. Yes, the players did not respond. But why? They were/are good players. It has to be the manager/coach. I will stay optimistic as long as Selles is fired immediately. Any half decent manager could get this squad sorted out. He has to go immediately and our season can then start.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

He didn’t have an interview.

He must have… surely?!

 

[Chezzy Blades]

You have to feel for Selles though. You can see that he's devastated. Almost looks like he has tears in his eyes. And at least he's not hiding from the fans.

The board need to put him out of his misery tonight, you're right he does look devastated. He's not up to it, doesn't know how to change it and it's no more pleasant watching him stand there suffering than it is watching these awful performances his players are turning out.

 

[RAP51]

Best, and most constructive relevant post tonight. Take note certain morons on this site !

After that team selection come on, who's the moron, and it's not the first time his tactics have been below the mentality of a pub team coach

 

[nickwr37]

Everyone onto the Selles sacked thread!

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

I also expect by the look in his eyes, Selles realises his career in English football gone tonight too. Don’t dislike the guy but his he seems clueless, right from the starting 11. Can only think he’s fallen out with the players on the bench like hamer and campbell

 

[William Large]

Selles looked and sounded like a dead man walking before the game.

It’s his job to galvanise the squad, to foster and build a team spirit.

I tried to give him a chance, I wanted him to work but he either hasn’t got a fucking clue what he’s doing, or he is too fucking stubborn to change.

Either way he needs to fuck off and fuck off quickly before he sets us back years.

It’s not like Ipswich were even that much better than us. They weren’t until we collapsed. The players have to shoulder some blame but put a blind man behind wheel of supercar and see how well it is driven.

 

[toledo]

Putting indiduals to the side, its just plain as day that this cannot continue any longer. Whatever has happened, whatever tactics are used / not used, whatever frustration the players are feeling, the bottom line is that an 0-5 start with one goal, playing some of the worst football we have ever seen, no tactical plans, no passion from the players, no ideas, nothing, nothing, nothing for 90 minutes, no good passes, no movement, no desire, nothing, nothing, nothing, something has to be done now to try and protect against relegation... WE DO NOT WANT TO GO TO DIV 1, it would be a nightmare....

toledo

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

The team selection was atrocious. He said he'd worked it all out and the formation would change.....did it? Still no attacking threat. Still weak defensively down the wings. Same old, same old! Cannon as a lone striker.....fucking unbelievable.

 

[jt64]

Been patient until now. Two weeks to work a plan and do that? Out.

 

[Greg.]

 

[shrubbery]

He must have… surely?!

You’d assume so but apparently not.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

I'm a happy clapper and supportive of the manager, but I've seen enough - he has to go.

The players were awful tonight.

Cooper, Peck, O Hare, Chong, Cannon - all shit.

Godfrey - jesus Christ - he was absolutely f@@@@@@ terrible.

He's lost the dressing room, he's got to go.

It's over
