Winner stays on

I don’t think so. I think most expected mid table mediocrity and a decent tilt in Europe. Apart from eternal pessimists like Dave, Shady and me, I don’t think most expected another horrible relegation scrap. And four managers. And limp performances with no sign of progress.

Marinakis himself has obviously flown too close to the sun and spaffed a load of money up the wall on players whose names we will have forgotten in 5 years time as well as appointing Edu who seems to be a truly cancerous character with zero accountability. But it’s his train set. I’m not defending him, I’m merely pointing out the truth of the situation. “He does what he wants….”

Maybe we get the Vitor Perreira who kept Wolves up comfortably last year. or maybe we get the one who got 2 points from 10 games.

Given that was pretty much common knowledge from the start he didn't have a chance.

Fully expect the likes of Birtles, Fletcher and others to be laying into the players next time I hear from them.

I had a chat with Colin Barrett a couple of days ago and he was very critical of the players. For context, he is also good friends with Dyche.

At least he has broken Chic's 2 streak of starting the thread for the game that sees the manager sacked.

Interesting that Perch and Wilson, on the FF podcast, who are probably less connected to those generations, were very critical of the style of play, which has to be on the manager. His mates are likely to go on the offensive about the players, especially as it appears Marinakis basically asked them whether to stick or twist.

I would be unhappy if i was that shit at shooting but I wouldn't blame the manager.

I actually said during game when CHO passed straight to keeper rather than curling towards far post that they didn't want to score to get rid of Dyche.

I thought I was joking but now not so sure.

Lad in front of us is too young to remember Silenzi and so likened Lucca to Darius Henderson.

Which time? He did that at least twice.

Second half looked to be one on one with keeper on corner of 6 yard box though I've not seen it back.

The one when Morgan carried the ball about 30 yards to the edge of the area and then passed wide when in reasonable space?

That's the one.

So bad it didn't even make the "highlights".

It was a really good chance though, or did my angle from main stand make it look easier than it was?

I didn't feel like he was going to score but that may just have been my mood by that stage.

After the 6 on 1 I didn't feel we were going to score.
