Reasons to keep Clough

[super_pig]

the Swindon defence were all over the place.. mourinho would have brought adams on at ht

 

[blade too long]

Yeah, I'm sure those cunts would swap that with losing at home to Fleetwood and fucking Crewe!

swindon lost at home to both of them too
why do people keep citing Fleetwood as some pile of shit
theyve gone through 8 divisions in 11 years
Fleetwood will be above Blackpool next season
Wednesday couldnt beat Fleetwood

Fleetwood are a decent team ,,,, full stop

last time owls played crewe
8 April 2006 Crewe Alexandra A L 0-2 8,007

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

I'm 100% behind Clough. I've emailed Jim Phipps recently to say just that.

I'll be cancelling my season ticket if he gets fired. We can't just keep firing managers, get the centre halves we need and some more physicality in the side and give him the season to take us up.

Agreed. What we need to do to move forward is pretty clear. Let's do it.

 

[Lampiao]

Be patient Blades

Been Patient -tried it - doesn't work - at my age any more patience and I'll be dead! Could do with instant success next season! (and the season after too!)

 

[Rodley]

We just need to get out of this league. Not a three year plan. Not building an empire.

Get out of this league.

 

[The Vicar]

He's not Nick Clegg! What about Nicola Sturgeon for manager, at least half the team would understand her.............

 

[YES Blade]

Cause we're Sheffield United! Losing at home to Fleetwood shows how far we have sunk!

 

[SwissBlade]

he should have bought centre halves Swiss.. we have one in the stand.. we have a zillion midget midfielders.. it s simply poor management

Yeah but Brayford was injured. Sadly, hence him sitting in the stand. We had MaGahey on the bench.

 

[Hartley Hare]

I just do not know why Collins didn't play? Is he injured, elsewhere or in very very very bad books.

Clough stated in post match interview;

Three good centre backs on shopping list, perhaps another striker, two/three quality players to be added in summer. Six/seven players to leave.

There is still hope, he will get it right you know.

I am with Swiss, can't keep chopping and changing manager every few years.

He's on the naughty step outside NNs office

how does it

so chelsea have sunk as they lost at home to bradford

fleetwood started in league one as a league one club
against their new peers they performed well

yes fleetwood were 4 leagues lower 6 years ago
but bournemouth were in in div 4 then and look where they are now

 

[Deleted member 1486]

If we had come down last year would there be so many calling for his head? I suspect not. If you agree, you should recognise that he is being unfairly held

 

[robbiez666]

I'm shocked at the amount of fans who want to keep him. I'm perplexed as to why.

I'm not sure how you can get passed:

Failing to sign CBs when my 77 year old mum knows we needed to sign CBs
negative tactics
consistently poor league performances
obvious weaknesses - lack of height/pace
at times odd team selection
often odd post-match interviews
falling out and slagging off players
Not addressing the striking problem in summer

All of which with a free reign in the transfer market and a big (for this league) pot of cash.

If anybody sees Clough as our saviour after this inept season with baffling selections and substitutions then i will literally be flabergasted. I've given him enough time and to bring Scouggs on for Basham in the first leg was criminal but to not bring Davies and Adams on at HT in the second leg was even worse imo. I love NcNulty but he never had a touch first half, he should have been took off, Flynn was the same, he never took his man on like he did in the first leg, he should have been took off, i said this to my mate after 35 minutes but what the fuck do i know. Clough is the messiah and Clough is the king..........is he fuck. I've lost all patience.

This is NBW status The manager gets the players in, you can't just spit the dummy out just because the unbelievable Mr McCabe might sack him, surely

 

[wizadry]

But McNulty was the worst attacker on the pitch tonight.

Does that give our manager the right to berate him like he did, does it fuck. You all call yourselves Blades but have a listen to who you're actually sticking up for here. A player is usually here longer than a manager, have a bit of respect for our top goal scorer.

 

[DSB-91]

Surely McNulty will be off in the summer? This isn't the first time Clough's hammered him in an interview.

Shame because he might be the best finisher at the club on his day.

Today was a long, long way from being his day though.

 

[Blade82]

Exactly. It will be cloughs 2nd start to a season in lg1 next year but our 5th. He's not to blame for that. He deserves more time.

He had one chance tonight and blazed it over but i'll tell you what, he wasn't no where near to blame for why we're still in this league next season, no where near.

 

[Jehovah]

I'd rather keep alcock than clough. Yeah that's right, Alcock.

Just to be correct, i mean Scouggs in place of Basham in midfield and not replaced by him.

 

[Grappler]

Doesn't mean you have to slate him in public mate, behind closed doors is where you give the player a dressing down. That's not just in football, but in business in general.

 

[DSB-91]

That shot was abysmally bad though.

But you're right. If you draw up a list of the players that didn't pull their weight this season, I don't know how anyone could put McNulty on it.

Scored some great goals. Particularly enjoyed the one against Chesterfield.

I don't understand why he gets singled out for criticism when other players have been beyond useless in comparison.

 

[Swanseablade]

Cos they're part of the S24SU clique & beyond reproach. One in particular.
UTB
FTO

I hope he cyber laughed in your cyber face and told you to cyber fuck off.

 

[Louismarven]

People acting like we scored 5 because we had a few attackers on, Swindons defending was just as shit as ours, we weren't as clinical

We weren't as clinical? We scored the same as them last night and over two legs they had two penalties, one wasn't very clinically hit...

 

[itsinyerblood]

Nothing wrong with new posters, used to be one myself, but I noticed an influx this last week or two.....couldn't be a wendy infiltration by any chance?

 

[Louismarven]

In terms of chances created I don't think we were, yes they missed chances but we could have scored 3/4 more on the night if our finishing and decision making in the final third had been better

Mate I'm 16, do u not think 16 year old Wednesday fans have better things to do than pretend to be blades
