It wasn't Tan or the Board who were responsible for the left wing back fiasco yesterday.
Did they not oversee the squad being assembled?
This shit squad is directly linked to Tan and the crap decisions they made. People can blame Steve Morison all they like. He should never have had a sniff at the job and that is the fault of Tan and the board.
How do the board keep making ridiculously bad decisions and we blame the man one step up from the playing staff? It is unbelievable how people blame the man at the bottom who basically won the lottery but should never have been in that position (Morison and then Hudson).
Now Lamouchi is taking pelters for the crap situation they have created. He is easily the best manager we've had this season. He is just working with an absolute $hit show of a squad assembled by the board pick of Morison and the transfer committee.
The problem with all of that is we've got a specialist in the position who did well enough for us last season who this manager is completely ignoring.
He has been ignored by a few managers.
Do you think picking him changes that result yesterday?
It is rotten from top to bottom. Just because people fail to see what is in front of them doesn't mean it is any less true.
Our knowledgable board have gambled and it has all gone to ****. That is where the blame should be directed, not the fella trying his best to rescue the circus they've created.
I don't know if picking Bagan would have made a huge difference, but it would have been better than seeing our manager tie himself up in tactical knots for the first thirty five minutes to such an extent that he had to bring on a centreback for winger/attacker to, partially, sort out the mess he'd got himself in.
Blaming this one on Tan isn't going to work. Bagan has played thirty odd times in the position, scoring three times. Ignoring him completely is nothing whatsoever to do with Tan,
I blame the whole situation on Tan and the board.
I'll tell you why this is on Tan.
Tan hires and fires the members of the board. He could sweep the decks this morning if he wanted. He doesn't choose to. We can only assume then that he is happy with the personnel on the board.
Tan and the board picked Steve Morison. He wasn't forced upon us. The club actively installed him as a manager. The man they employed in that role to take the club forward. They then gave him a very low budget. Nobody else did, the owner and board set that budget.
Now depending what you read there also seems to be a transfer committee in place, overseen by Tan. Whatever you believe virtually every signing needs the green light from Tan.
The board along with Steve Morison then cleared what they could of the playing squad and set about signing freebies, loans and cheaper alternatives with a lower wage bill.
They then saw fit to sack their pick as manager in Morison and employ another manager with virtually no experience to move the club on. Hudson had his work cut out.
After this failed they then employ what I believe is a better manager than the previous two. Not a world beater but better.
This is why I think it is very much on Tan and the board than Sabri Lamouchi not picking Bagan. Funnily enough a player the previous two didn't fancy to any great degree either.
Your paranoia is showing. Using your logic, we may as wellhave stuck with Morison because our manager can’t be blamed for poor results, poor team selections and tactical blunders - it’s all down toTan, that’s mad.
Regarding Bagan, the line that other managers didn’t rate him is irrelevant here - what Lamouchi did yesterday was show that he thinks Romeo, Ojo and Simpson are better left backs/left wing backs than him. What have any of them done to justify that opinion?
Do you think there's a possibility that FFP rules may have been a significant factor in bringing about that situation?
No but if he played Simpson from the start and we started the game the same he would have had just as much stick. He tried to get us on the front foot with a more attacking option in Ojo and it failed so he switched it up early-ish.
Exactly.
Do people think he sent Ojo out with the orders "be absolutely crap mate, oh and don't show you can be @rsed either".
The players are the problem. The players are here because people that the board picked assembled a crap squad with no experience and no money.
We gambled and it has gone wrong big time.
If hed started Simpson LWB your right he probably would have. But he started Romeo then moved Ojo to LWB then tried Simpson.
The midfield was a disaster with Sawyers totally anonymous. Wickham was shocking.
By the end we just thrown bodies on and it seemed hope for the best.
He was all over the place tactically. Our first corner was embarrassing nobody seemed to have a clue who was supposed to take it. It seemes they were all wondering where Ralls was.
Lamouchi and his staff are as much to blame as the players for that display yesterday.
I don’t disagree but it would have been a brave manager to leave out Swayers and Wickham after the Blackpool game. Players have bad games, managers pick wrong teams. It happens, always has always will.
I can see why he started with who he did and why he changed it as well. Bad day at the office all round but personally I like him as a manager and would like him to stay. I don’t think this squad is anything like what he would want but he’s trying things to try and make it work, sometimes it has, others it hasn’t.
Yes of course, does anyone think that Dalman and Tan could get a better one?
He's just about the best they've picked but he was given a terrible hand.
Exactly this.
Who would come here to work under these.
It is like a circus to everybody looking in.
