STEVE MORISON SACKED

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Looking at the results for 10 games, we have taken 11 points out of 30 on offer

That's a fact and it simply isn't good enough

It's a results driven business, rightly or wrongly and you don't have time or the luxury for projects

We appointed McCarthy permanently based on his results after 10 games.

Just over 20 games later he was sacked.

If we accept this season was a restart it’s a small window to be so certain how things would have panned out.

Bollox, that's what. A whopping 7% reduction in long balls and since when does xGA figure in the league tables? Losing site of the most important goals for and goals against means disappearing down the rabbit hole.

I can’t be arsed with all this shite jargon, it’s all coulda, shoulda, woulda. The only figures that matter and have always mattered in the history of football are the figures below the letters, P W D L F A Pts.

That tweet doesn't disagree with what Pedro says, in fact the XG table shows how poor we are going forward and at creating chances

xG is the biggest pile of cobblers to ever be seen. We don't shoot, we don't create chances, it is undeniable. We are dead last or nearly last in every shooting metric. Just because we've scored some tap ins it doesn't mean we create anything. We haven't scored in 6 of 11 games. It is not good enough.

Most of them are pretty damn average. What do you think?

I think we've signed 6 good players: Alsopp, Collins, O'Dowda, Robinson, Kipre and Romeo.
The rest are either average, unproven or crap.

I'm wavering with my vote now because I think you've bottled it by not naming which ones are which!

Collins was a massive loss.

We have pretty low xG as well, it has its limitations but it can be a very useful metric. These numbers show we have really good xGA (goals against) and mid tableish xG (goals for), but they only consider from open play. We have to factor into that goals for and against from set pieces - where presumably in both measures we are really bad.

Perhaps we should be bringing in a specific set-piece coach as well as a new manager.

Rino's been ok, and big things were expected from Adams before his injury.
Not sure why we re-signed Ojo mind, he was inconsistent first time round, although we are operating on a budget...

I don't think his signings have been too bad for the most part, I do think he's not plugged glaring holes though.
Centre-back and centre-forward were the two obvious positions that we desperately needed to strengthen after we bolstered the centre of midfield.
He just seemed to add more midfielders though...

Then of course, when we did add two forwards, we ended up with Etete and Robinson. The latter may come good but he's not the physical presence that Morison's system was crying out for. The former of course, a "project" that we could ill afford to spend money on.

To give Morison his dues, I think we largely did ok with a decent percentage of his signings, but he signed far too many players. We needed less quantity and more quality.
Very few managers can get away with bringing in so many new faces in a pre-season, it's always going to cause more chaos than is manageable.

He bit off more than he could chew.

We think the Reading guy has potential to cement a place and I’m interested to see what Adams offers when fit.

I still think considering the amount of players needed it was a decent recruitment other than the lack of options brought in upfront
