What have most managers actually won? No English manager has won anything for years. Outside the top four (or five) EPL membership is about continuance, not getting relgated, winning a few highlight games each season to please the fans and watching the Sky money just flood in.

Even the League Cup, which was a great way for 2nd Division teams to play a final at Wembley is now the preserve of the elite, more or less.

He's another average manager, but probably the worst one we've had out of Pulis, Pardew and BFS. He's got arguably the best team we've had since being promoted. People are criticising Parish and Freedman for transferes, but the manager should be jumping up and down to get decent players in. I don't think Watford have better players than us. They just wanted it more. The pressed higher and showed more fight and desire. Ayew has score in the last two, so probably deserves a start. But he was did absolutely nothing today and should have been dragged off earlier. With the left back on a yellow, I don't understand why he took wilf off the wing, where he was tearing them apart, to a striker, a position he doesn't play. He had another striker on the bench, yet chose to bring on a winger. It doesn't make sense. Our best play maker is mayer. He's not getting a look in. We've got 3 defensive midfielders on the pitch. None of which are great at creating chances and we didn't have a decent striker on. What was he thinking? Benteke scored 17 prior to roys arrival had has score 3 since. It can't be all Christian's fault can it. We just aren't playing him to his strengths. In the first half. We controlled possession. In the second half we went more attacking despite the fact we were winning and left use open at the back. He is constantly changing the starting line up and formation. Surely he's worked out what works best by now? I'm split between thinking we should keep him until the end of the season then look around for a decent manager, or just getting a new manager now. This is how teams sleepwalk into relegation.

Who do you regard a decent manager and why?

Totally agree mathers....he gotta go Originally posted by Mathers
Another defeat that can be put down to s*** tactics/ substitutions. Playing against one of the shortest centre backs in the league (Mariappa @ 5ft11) and yet he doesn’t take advantage with one of wickham/ benteke. Instead of making a sub to kill the game when 1-0 he waits till we are down to react. And bringing on schlupp ahead of Meyer to chase the game is typical Roy. Meyer must be kicking himself for signing for us when dross like that are picked ahead of him.

I agree with the og post, but I doubt it will happen because of the lack of candidates. Roy has had his day. Watch his post match interview - the poor man looks tired and comes out with his favourite clichés. No dynamism whatsoever, we are so predictable - Wilf will try and beat 3 men and lose out, AT will cut in, neither can cross a ball. No creativity in midfield, more or less 2 if not 3 defensive midfielders - negative tactics from a negative manager, look what he did to England...

I'm afraid I heard quite a few Anti-Hodgson comments after the game with most calling for his head. Emotions are raw after a game,perhaps in the cold light of day these supporters might take a different viewpoint.

This is not about the players, that’s not his fault, we can talk about the players and there faults all day long. This is about Roy...his total inability to change and make the right subs...etc etc Originally posted by Tickled pink
This post has been merged from a topic called ' Hodgson has to stay ' by bexleydave ..and for as long as possible. Not his fault that our players create wonderful opportunities and then miss them.
