I want him gone now, I think he's out of his depth, if he's still here for Ipswich and we lose, then maybe the owners might sack him then, get a new manager in, where they might think Charlton nxt, give the new manager that game to start off with, with Oxford the week after, though we know what happened at Oxford last season
Me too. Football Focus did a feature on him last season and he looked and sounded very impressive indeed. Great record at Stockport and seems very well organised and driven. Norwood will give us a good review. Not what we will go for but, Dave Bassett and Wilder were plucked from those sorts of background.
Matos
if hes continuing with 4 at the back he has to play soumare and matsos as 2 dm at ipswich and hamer if hes still here in front of them and put o'hare and peck on the bench
Easy to do when you have options of who to bring in. He was pretty much stuck with the team he was playing and couldn’t run the changes if he wanted to. Now he has that option.
Indeed, he's barely had a bench all season.
Millwall:
Wouldn't say that's weaker than most the first half of last season and we were doing significantly better
It's weaker, but probably not by too much. Holding, O'Hare, BBD on bench the stand out experience, we had nothing.
I think its Top 6 Tactics we dont have rather than a Top 6 Squad.
Tbf saw Arsenal recover from 8 losses in 10 under Arteta in 20/21 and then 3 losses in a row to begin 21/22.
I could accept losing if we were playing well but we're not. We're completely unorganised & his coaching team are younger than half of the players. He's stuck with a midfield 3 that everyone can see doesn't work, it was evident in the pre-season game against Burton that it didn't work. I've not idea how or why he's persisted with it.
I agree with the general sentiment but the biggest issue is we’ve all sat there and watched us play with a formation that clearly isn’t working and which Selles seems to be resistant to fixing. I will generally always give a manager the benefit of the doubt. Whatever you think of them, they’re usually in the job for good reason, have spent far more time studying the game than we ever will, and spend most days on the training pitch with the players. The players need to deliver on these plans too, and I can’t automatically assume they are doing exactly what they’re told. But we’re quickly reaching the territory where we’re watching games with no clue what Selles is thinking. I can see some elements of what he’s trying - the pressing for sure - and yet I watch us leave spaces all over the pitch time and time again and have no clue if Selles is even seeing the same thing because he’s seemingly making no attempt to fix things. Against Boro we created one chance through pressing, and the only other chance came after we started playing more progressively mostly because Hamer looked as thought he thought “f*ck it” and started playing quickly through the lines. But he was the only one doing it. I see no evidence of us playing in a way which opens up teams, nor any evidence of us tightening up gaps when we don’t have the ball. I want to give Selles time but I have no confidence in his plan right now. I have no clue what his plan even is.
There’s an international break in October it makes a lot more sense to do it then, and the new manager still has two weeks. There is also one in November prior to the Derby.
have to agree the 3 of hamer o'hare and peck certainly doesnt work but barry and brooks didnt give godfrey or burrows any protection that cannot carry on if hes going to persist with 433
It can, it's just Selles has chosen to play 433 but without a right winger, not selecting a more defensive mid in Soumare and then Barry is an inverted wingers, all of which means Campbell has no service and he's playing Hamer and O'Hate far too deep which has nullified both. I'd say 80% of our bad start is on Selles tactics. We're also ridiculously open and prone to the counter because likes to play everyone bar Cooper in the opposition half but we aren't pressing neither. Apart from that it's ok!
His record at Reading?
Soumare hasn't been in the first XI, that's my pointIt can, it's just Selles has chosen to play 433 but without a right winger, not selecting a more defensive mid in Soumare and then Barry is an inverted wingers, all of which means Campbell has no service and he's playing Hamer and O'Hate far too deep which has nullified both.

We're also ridiculously open and prone to the counter because likes to play everyone bar Cooper in the opposition half but we aren't pressing neither. Apart from that it's ok!
With the new additions Selles, or hopefully someone else, can play with ur without wingers, and has multiple formations we could play with this squad. Personally I'd go for 4231. I'd have liked Wilders 352 but I'm less sure that will happen with latest winger signings but Ogbene can play up top too.
, he should be.
I just don't really understand these comments. Why is he out of his depth? Just because it's started badly? He's had 4 games with a substandard team (crucially missing CBs and DMs) - nobody was getting wins from those games realistically - even if Jesus Christ was the manager.
