I blame the ref.
What’s Brian Clough up to these days? Maybe he’d fancy a pop at it?Rome has been sacked fewer times as he has.
As I’ve said in this thread previously, he’s a good coach but a poor manager. A nice guy Peter Taylor where we need a hell-hath-no-fury Brian Clough.
Desperately missing Appleton too .
It wasn’t 3 points lost. It was only 1 point, because that’s what we started with. Clotet logic. Baffling.Utter humiliation yesterday.
Thought we were headed for double figures and I just can’t think of a more shocking display I have witnessed in a long time.
Confidence has to be absolutely shot to bits and I’m afraid I just can’t see Pep having the ability to turn this around, he is just too nice.
Going into the busy Christmas period this could not have come at a worst time. It’s all very well Pep saying it’s just one game and 3 points but I’m far more concerned about the collateral damage.
Pep is becoming a Clot and has to turn this around immediately or otherwise I think he will become the ghost of Christmas past.
For some reason I just couldn’t get the 12 Days of Christmas out of my head last night ?.
Have a great Christmas one and all.. onto Gills ?.
He’s known longer with us RIPWhat’s Brian Clough up to these days? Maybe he’d fancy a pop at it?
It was obvious yesterday that Wigan played a high line because they knew that there was more chance of white christmas in Perth, than any of our players getting behind their back line. It helped them press the P**s out of us.I think this sums up pretty much my thoughts. A perfect storm. That said I didn't think Wigan were world beaters - a very good team all over the park though and that is why we haven't been punished as much by other teams. The lack of pace was more evident than ever yesterday - when we attack the ball goes from defence to midfield to attack with barely any overlap. Wigan on the other hand were able to constantly outnumber us offensively and defensively because of their ability to blend defence into attack and vice-versa..
I'm in two minds as to who to point the finger at here - clearly we need better personnel for our system but on the other hand the players aren't useless and should be able to play a 442. Eales if he doesn't sanction the recruitment for January, Clotet for being 1 dimensional or the players. Perhaps all 3.
Sad thing is that this hiding has been threatened for a while.
If only Brian Clough could take us forward. Passion he certainly had.
Clotet...best to go now...can't be long before he's gone now
More likely he was acknowledging the poor performance, I don't think he's the type to disrespect the fanbase. I don't think any of the players could possibly have thought we were clapping them - imagine the reaction if the whole team had walked off so at least they came over. Some did walk off of course...I stayed till the end and one thing that pissed me off, apart from the result, was Chey running across the pitch clapping the fans, not because of that, but, the fans clapping him back made the few oxford players that braved coming down and clapping us think we were clapping them. And mouse nodding his head at us. Lack of respect for the crowd from our captain.
