Sorry - just look at us. How on earth can this team cope next season? We are now feeble. OK I'm a pessimist, but with or without Roy I fail to see a way a way out for our team. Zaha apart we have very little quality and there seems to be no finance to buy that in. I'd love someone to give us a more positive view that we could all agree on.
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

I get that and I do understand their frustration but the same people are calling out for the youth to be given a chance, obviously , Mitchell is our best youth player , but proved he is not at all good enough to compete in the top tier. Yes, on record points, to be fair to Roy, we had already done the hard work before the shut down, the players had nothing but table placings to play for, Wolves on the other hand are after a european place, so were up for it, at the beginning of the season, we all would have accepted record points total and safety, however it came, Roys done well , Parish and the yanks need to fund him, Dougie needs to go in to management again, in the istmian league!

Nice interview Roy - yes, we are very short of strikers, there's one scoring for fun in Turkey, but some c**t who negotiated the loan deal chose to omit any recall clause. Would that be our Dougie, or did he leave it to the commercial guys to come up with that little gem? Not saying that Sorloth is the real deal, but would be good to have called him back to give a chance to find out. Unfortunately we will never know.

I blame the board more than anything, our lack of investment in the last few windows means we need more than we can afford in this one.

Go Roy You set up the Townsend role in your tactic plan, he make a crap pass, runs into a crowded defence, leaving in front on the penalty box for the excellent chop pass unmarked. You more concerned about keeping the score down, rather than send on fresh legs to be blooded (the kids). Roy the game was lost, Wolves are putting on on subs and you are doing FA. You lost your ability to managed players and know what to do with them, so you try and play safe tactics and as proved again, you have no Plan B... Strange there was hand ball by a Wolves player but ref said it went off Zaha. Couple of matches ago VAR picks at handball at another match the ref doesn't see and GIVE a penalty so why was we not given a penalty, his arm touched the ball... Go Roy.. retire on Sunday

No manager can keep this squad up again next season. We need a major influx of talent, all over the squad. Roy isn't blameless, but I think Freedman deserves most of the blame for our old inept roster. Just think about Meyer, Camarasa, and Sorloth. These were all players brought in with great fanfare and big spends, supposed to make a difference, and none of them did anything. There's a major disconnect between Freedman and Roy, and unless they turn it around in the next 5-6 weeks, we're likely going down next year.

I just wish they asked tricker questions. If anything it might make a dull game a bit more interesting. As for the performance.... anyone got a suggestion of what went well tonight?

So why not put in Meyer, Riediwald etc the last couple of games. What’s the worst that can happen? We don’t score and lose?

Roy told Parish, Sorloth had no future in his team, so they got on that basis the best deal they could. Originally posted by Gribbo

Haha, so we are basing our angst on something that you don’t actually know is true, but might be, or perhaps isn’t? I thought it was because our style of football is garbage. I have no idea. But then again, neither do you. However, I don't make a habit of blasting my mouth off when I don't have all the facts. Our style of football is governed by the shortcomings of the squad at the manager's disposal and, let's face it, not too many of them have put in much of a shift lately. Blaming the manager is an easy option. Try and think more expansively.
