Ok gang. The morning after the night before. Now the dust has settled. Lets take stock of the situation.
First off. Almost grabbing the defeat out of the jaws of victory, is inexcusable. We've seen this way too many times before. This cannot happen again and Nuno needs to sort his shit out. But for the woodwork and Scarles goal line clearance, we would be looking at 0 points this morning.
Burnley came down with us. They are in the same position, but without the favourites tag. Serial yo-yo act they maybe? But I expect them to finish top 6 at the end of the season. So looking at things objectively we got an away point. Not a loss and still somehow remain unbeaten so far in pre season to date.
We have a very talented squad, but when you look at the outgoings in waiting. The cracks appear and it starts to become thin to say the least. Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Alvarez, Fulkrug, Cornet, Magassa. Whatever your opinion on these guys. They are all good players. They maybe aren't the right fit for us anymore. Thats why they will be leaving before Sept 1st.
On that note. we must get proper Championship hungry replacements in. Proven players, who can scrap and produce quality. Nuno is on thin ice and borrowed time. He is far too cautious and because of our situation, it magnifies the scrutiny on him and his tactics.
As for yesterday. Better to get that performance out of the way, in the first game of the season. I sincerely doubt 2 points will make a difference at the end of 46 games. The board had better sort there shit out and back Nuno. Or Nuno will be history, although maybe that's not such a bad thing.
If Pablo got a knock yesterday, then I can see why JWP came on. Although wouldn't Earthy of been a better option. I'm guessing with Kante and Orford already playing. It was maybe a bridge too far. Having all the youngsters on, so caution was the winner.
Ultimately caution was our undoing. We got away with one. Engles will come in, Soucek will be available soon. Maybe Parrot will come. Or as someone mentioned why not Flemming? He's done it in the Premier League for Burnley. He did it yesterday and looks powerful.
All I know is. If we don't get a resounding victory at the BOM on Saturday. With 55,000 strong fans against Charlton. Things are going to get very ugly, very ugly indeed.
Nuno, the clock is ticking. You better be sorting this shit out!!!!
I dunno why he's so reliant
I dunno why he's so reliant on the washed up prem players ,kilman and J W P ,even at this level their clearly not good enough ,and anyone who thinks Pablo is going to make it is deluded .
Digging in a bit deeper I would say all this working class hero shite in regards to Bowen is a bit much ,in my opinion there didn't seem to be much interest in him that a lot of us thought there'd be .
Felt very sorry for Scarls , I know it was a stupid tackle but did he deserve to be pulled off over it ?, I think not ,best thing to come out of yesterday's effort imo was the young guys Soliman and Ortford ,solid.
I have never had any faith in this manager ,seems to me his only accolade was bringing wolves up ,(or was it Forest ) can't remember ,he seems to be even more defensive minded than Moyes.Get rid and get in someone with a bit of personality' ,bit of Charisma .
Parrots not coming
This brave new world of DK's has a familiar feel about it with the club deciding to go for the cheaper option rather than pay and extra £4million.
As for yesterday i would not blame Bowen for reconsidering his decision to stay or blame Taty as neither were in the game as they had little to no service of any kind.
Negative Nuno out and no i would not like to see Howe replacing him rather have whats his name who was alongside Nuno and had the passion and the drive to put us on the front foot.
Agree
Eddie Howe is NOT an option which is one reason I'm not an out an out fan of Stavely getting in even though she'd probably be better for the club in the long run.
As a club we are in second
As a club we are in second gear,these prats are holding us back,Staveley will take us into overdrive,and bring us forward,give us purpose,and make us more of a attractive club to play for,a winning mentality.
It's a shame Orford will be
It's a shame Orford will be dropped for Engles as a sacrifice to get him in the team. If by all accounts we are getting Piroe from Leeds on loan he will take Pablos place. Although I think Orford would be better sitting than Kante. But Kante will get the nod as he is slightly more versatile and stronger on the ball.
Taty to Leeds I keep hearing, he looked frustrated on Sunday. I wonder if it's Nunos tactics. Pissing him off??
Pablos place
More like Tatys........DK stripping the club of any saleable asset but made it look good by keeping Bowen sweet.
Deluded Nuno
So according to Nuno in his pre game interview we controlled the game against Burnley for 80 mins......This man needs to go he will not change or accept it is his fault with his tactics that has cost us so many points from winning positions..last season it was 22 points and already at the start of this season it has cost us 2......when are we ever going to have someone with a set to admit this man is the wrong man for the job.
