I don’t understand what’s disappointing?
Don't know what you're reading there. The trouble with these things is the questions that get asked, I'm sure he'd happily not mention Boro, we just need some grown up journalists who allow that to happen.
Hope his confidence and enthusiasm is picked up by the team we desperately need that
I get the feeling he will be excellent with the players, seems like a proper man manager. Despite what we have seen this season, I do think we have the quality to pick up the points we need. Hopefully Rob is the man to coax it out of them.
We really are not. We are on course to have the lowest points total in Premier Lg history? RE may get them to 'believe', whatever that means, but he can't give them skills or abilities they just don't have. He seems like a nice bloke but whether he has the metal to get something/anything out of this lot remains to be seen. I think he's been brought in with the Championship in mind.
Thanks mate UTW
We certainly are better than we shown so far
Totally agree. And I think this is why in the end, we lost out in those Spurs & Brighton matches to very late goals. You could sense after 80 mins, after looking good value for the win, the players just wanted the whistle to blow and get us that win. Desperation set in, when if we'd had a win already (e.g .Leeds or Everton) I think we'd have won both of those two, too.
We actually won, I think, the first 4 matches of our six game winning run without Cunha as he was suspended. So that gives hope. However, key to that run, were Semedo and RAN, and Sarabia had a purple patch and chipped in with key assists and goals too. Still, we're better than just having 2 points at this stage of the season. We've just got to hang on in there and not allow the gap to get bigger and hope we can get more quality in January.
The hope is that the players hadn't decided VP could go **** himself yet at that point, as opposed to this season. So just purely by a change of the guard etc we see better performance levels across the board.
'fraid I agree. I've watched most of our matches and we really are a poor side, error-prone, lack of creativity and can't defend or score. If Edwards can get us beyond Derby's record low points total; I'd take it. However, we are Championship-bound and hope that he can build a squad from the remnants of one of the worst squads in Premier League history, together with a few decent acquisitions to mount a promotion push next year; ideally without Shi and Fosun.
I dont think thats correct tbh
I'm really not sure we are. For me we're a desperate teams with virtually no quality left. I don't expect much to change regardless of the change but hope I'm proven wrong
This is probably the most quality this team will have between now and the next few years at least. There are plenty of decent players in the squad. It's just horrifically balanced because the people who put this team together are absolutely terrible at what they do.
We lost Cunha, Ran, Semedo and Sarabia, they were quality players and the players bought in haven’t stepped up. Yet. Now is the time to do it.
Absolutely, he needs to be given time to build something.
