    That starting XI was a total disgrace. No one else but him should be held accountable for putting that team out there.
    And who, after scouring the globe far and wide, picked Mick?

      Which is strange, I’m sure he was our manager when the same squad won 10 games in a row? How does this happen? I think he has just lost the confidence of them somehow, they just aren’t performing. With an owner who only cares about staying in the championship we really are just going nowhere slowly

          If they can play then it points to Mick having to go as he is beyond negative and wants to play sky ball above all else. Losing sky ball at that.

          I'd like to see Mick gone and the jokers who picked him and many failed managers before him gone too but we won't.
          Yes, most people seem to forget that when he arrived and had been taking training sessions, Mick stated that this was the best squad of players he had every inherited. What has gone wrong ?
          Many keep using the excuse that he is playing a team of youngsters but lets remind ourselves that Nelson, Fling and Morrison were appalling last night, as were Pack, Vaulks and Bacuna. Brown was missing.
          Up front Collins was a passenger and giles could not really get going.
          Notice i have named nine players, not one of them would you refer to as a "youngster".

            I’d love to know his stats since Tan gave him a 2 year deal for no reason towards the end of the season ( I know PSG were calling etc)

              The clueless idiots who run the club picked him, but they’re not accountable for the team selection McCarthy made…. He is.

              Now… I could imagine a situation where the football geniuses suggested to him that we needed to stop WBA scoring so play defensively, and that McCarthy got frustrated with the interference and picked that team and formation out of spite and ridicule to prove a point, but for me that’s the only way he could come out of this situation with any credit.

                He also said it wasn't a mistake so there is at least a slight chance we might see it again.

                  It isn't the same squad, though, as 11 players left in the summer. We have no wingers apart from Giles. Saying that, it has to be said that he seems to have lost the plot.
                  I was shocked when he was brought in on a short deal and not in the least bit impressed when he was given a 2 year deal. In fact, I remember saying that he'd be gone by Christmas, but of course I was shot down by the Lemming Mob who agree with everything that the club do.
                  If the club can afford it, we need to urgently bring in a new manager, make sure we're not relegated and start building (again) for the future with a progressive playing style. This should absolutely not be yet another dinosaur, though.
                  In the longer term it is time for a change up top. The present incumbents are just not delivering and they've had long enough to try and get it right.
                  Next time Dalman is interviewed, he needs to be asked to explain why there is no need for a Director of Football because clearly they do. It feels like we're being run by politicians who just fudge every answer they give out.

                    It isn't. This is what I have been touching on previously.

                    People might be questioning his recent actions but he would have to be raving bananas to leave himself so light on certain areas of the squad.

                    This, for me, is meddling from above, and another symptom of the cost cutting which means we're throwing in kids and loaned out everybody not in the first team that week.

                        More like a reminder that we didn't use the PL money or parachute payments anywhere near well enough to not get our arses handed to us by the likes of Blackburn who haven't had either for a way longer time than we have.

                          I agree. We have decent squad with good youngsters coming through and should at least be challenging for the playoffs. the problem is the manager who appears to have lost the plot completely. Need a new manager desperately or MM could get us relegated. We need to now accept that this is a rebuilding season where we try out the youngsters to see how many can play at this level. MM is not the person to do that as his football is too hoofball arguably we are the most hoofball side in the league. I have watched Shrewsbury against Plymouth and Wimbledon recently and they all play better football than us.

                            We’re nowhere near good enough to challenge for top 6. We have no width, creativity or pace. We desperately need to stay up this year and rebuild in the summer when some big contracts expire.

                              The squad is poor but a better tactician / coach could get more out of them than this muppet.

                                Remember that decent spell we had under Slade (don't laugh) when we beat Brighton 4-1 amongst others? He played a lop sided 4231 with Pilkington up front, Lawrence as a sort of wide striker, Whittingham on the left and Immers as no.10. We could replicate that with Kieffer, Harris, Giles and Colwill. Might work. Obviously Mick won't do that but you live in hope
