He keeps going on about problems are deep. What is he meaning by that it sounds so so bad. It's almost like the players don't want to play or something or they can't stand the people at the top.

Just guessing here but I think it's the poor confidence and mentality of the players, big amount of injuries and the quality of our players is just not good enough to have someone new come in, put the arm around a few players and then they start producing because they have talent and they're not stiffled.

I mean Frank was probably making us worse than we are but the reality is, with the players we have right now, we're no better than bottom half of the table. 16th is just the harsh truth. We're shit and no manager can change that in a couple of weeks.
 
If he starts another match with Biss the crackhead, RKM the thieving mercenary and Drag the bad, then he deserves whatever shit comes his way. Terrible selection. RKM needs taking back to France - preferably dropping him half way across the English Channel.

Our next 3 games are
Palace H
Atletico A
Liverpool A

I think we'll lose against pool and Atletico so palace is absolutely massive. If we lose against palace I don't think he survives after Liverpool because that's an international break as that will be 5 defeats in a row.

Genuinely believe Thursdays game will decide whether hes still here after the international break.

We need a win vs Palace but honestly, I don’t see them sacking him that quickly

There isn’t a good or bad team selection atm imo

The players are all lacking confidence, fitness and rhythm.

RKM looked the lone bright spot vs Woolwich then no show today. If you drop Biss then you play Palinha as a DM and he was biblically shit today.

I want Tel to start now, and Souza but there’s an even chance they both look off it if they do start.

We need Romero and Kudus in the team pronto and hope that a few others find some form from somewhere. Personally I think Richy is the one most likely to stand up and be counted atm

I know it takes more than two weeks to maybe work out a player's best position, but the way he set us up was so wrong, even I could see that. It will remain to be seen if he is willing or is able to be flexible. to suit the players he has at his disposal. The trouble is we don't have the time for him to come up to speed. Surely we would have been better to stick with Johnny Heitinga as the interim? At least he had a month to suss things out. Would have made more sense, IMO.

You are correct. Johnny Heitinga would have made a lot more sense than this situation.

But the damage was really done in the Summer and winter windows. That midfield is horrific. And it’s not lost on me that Gallagher isn’t making a difference.

Some captain he's proved to be. Sent off and suspended in the middle of an injury crisis at the start of a critical run of games.

Good players and leaders are supposed to step up for the team during difficult times and, when it comes to the crunch, Romero is nowhere.
 
Tudor is the manager.

It is on him to instil what's necessary into the players. Period.

It's still in our hands and that's it.

Forest and West Ham would swap positions with us right now, and there's a reason for that.

The negativity is justified but we were 3 nil down in Ajax, on that magical night,, and from nowhere sprung salvation.

We must find a way.

I was with you 100% until the last bit. Totally different crop of players here. Like comparing an Aston Martin with a fiat punto.

Need to win against Palace for sure

But if you sack him, where do you turn from there?

Honestly I've no idea but if the interim is brought in to get results and loses 5 on bounce he can't keep his job.
He's a hard ass so knowing our shit show they will go complete opposite and appoint a feel good type of manager to put arms around players to see if that works.

Let's just hope we beat palace cos if we don't then IMO we're down

I few of us said from the previous window under Ange... Gallagher was 100% more of the same. Its amazing the obvious things that so many people can not see

I really don’t think we’re down if we lose to Palace.

I do think the Prem league would love it for us to stay in the relegation battle as long as possible though
 
How heartbreaking is it to see all of this happening to our beloved club.

Tudor completely right with lack of movement, desire to create (their goalkeeper didn't make a single save today).

Call the players out, their flaws are now exposed to public light and a spotlight on them all. Frank never did and it didn't exactly work in his favour.

These players are a disaster. Call them out, as he said its on them to look in the mirror at themselves and understand they are completely in a scrap now.
