Perhaps the new manager has an actual coaching team who can manage the players ????

Get someone new in, spend some money on reinforcements and maybe salvage something from the season.
Someone that plays more than one way.
We have a decent chance in two competitions still. Possibly 3 if Ange goes before Liverpool.
The Yes Man talking more utter shite.
Just glad that he always wins things in his second season, looking forward to the silverware already.
This year is finally our year.
The next 2 league games are Newcastle and Woolwich. We have Liverpool in the cup in between them too. Bringing in a new manager now while most our defence and Vicario is injured makes no sense to me. We've little to no chance of winning any of these games regardless of who the manager is. If we are bringing in someone new then you have to atleast give them a chance and a clean slate. Right now we are in the trenches so may aswell just put up with Ange until atleast we have half our defence back and can actually compete again
Fucking look at it.
Look at it.
I don't think relegation is a serious concern this season, but look at the state of this. In our last six only the bottom two have worse form than us, and we're even with Leicester. Our saving grace is the bottom three are utterly dismal an are showing no sign of improvement whatsoever.
4 points from 6 games. We've played all of the bottom 4 now, by the way and scooped up 5 points out of 12.
Fucking dismal and shut up about injuries.

The reality is that he will be another statistic of a club where he “normally wins” falling short.
The irony being of course this is a decent crop of players being poorly managed in a very difficult league.
Oh we can just carry on losing games then if it doesn’t matter. Or you can try to change it.
Wolves have 7 from 9 because they changed manager. Granted United haven’t but United are potentially more fucked than we are.
We've literally no defenders atm. Porro and Spence are the only fit ones available. We are down to Reguilon and Dorrington now who really shouldn't even count as options... Dragusin played with an injury yesterday and its only a matter of time before he gets ruled out for a few months as we can't rotate him. On top of that we have the worst starting goalkeeper in the league.
Our 18 year old midfielder Archie Gray has become the best available defender at the club. Its insane to think a new manager will get us winning straight away with the current situation.
I'd be happy with a brown paper bag...couldn't do worse than this fraud
I thought Forster was pretty shocking for Wolves second tbh. I think Vicario saves that and the Forest goal tbh but it is what it is.
Kulusevski should have scored, Solanke should have hit one with his left instead of second guessing himself and ally the defender to catch him. He was also unlucky not to reach Werner’s cross.
Then as you said Son missed a fucking penalty as well. Was so obvious he’d go left as well. He knew he’d miss it.
You didn’t mention form or 6 games though.
Like me just saying to you now Ange is at 1PPG.
Apparently all but one of Son’s ones go that way.
This injury crisis very much reminds me of Klopp's Liverpool in 20/21 where they fell off completely. Van Dijk was ruled out for the season and all of a sudden players like Henderson and Fabinho had to start covering at centre back and could never rotate. They just kept picking up new injuries every week as the squad was thin with all the injuries. Their season was a total write off.
Doesn’t the fact that he was expecting the injuries to slow down but they got considerably worse suggest that we have a deeper rooted issue to solve?
At least in his mind
They finished 3rd.
Funny thing is, several people called that as a down year before it because they’d need to off-cycle the asthma meds for long term player health reasons. Then miraculously they had a down year and picked up injuries until the new year
Yesterday
Shadydan
was telling us we were a "cooked fanbase" (or whatever teen lingo he's speaking this week) because we were concerned that Dragusin was injured and it's all fine.Today we're being told that we in fact have no defenders and Dragusin is playing injured.
Which is it?
Son has been shocking this season! I don't know whats happened to him. Probably fatigue but he's giving the ball away, making the wrong decisions and not working hard enough off the ball. He's not tracking back or pressing to the levels required. His confidence is at an all time low too.Usually he is such a sharp player and only needs one touch to get a shot away but this season he takes 5 or 6 touches before taking a shot on and he's become so easy for defenders to mark.. Watching Cunha yesterday shows the difference in confidence levels. He was taking on shots on the spin and just oozed confidence. Son has the ability to do all that but something is missing this season. He could do with a 2 or 3 game break but we don't have the luxury to rotate him given how poor werner looks every time he comes on
Nah, it's really not though, look at how night and day our performances were when Redknapp took over from Ramos, we will likely see a similar boost when Ange leaves. I seem to remember us going from getting dicked by the likes of Boro, Sunderland and Villa to going to the Emirates and picking up a 4-4 draw and beating Liverpool and City 2-1. All with exactly the same players as Ramos.
We think we have better squad but we don’t.
