I think our points per game average is worse under Roy vs Pardew.
The mountains are calling & I must go. |

The pattern of decline in performance follows precisely that of England under Hodgson. Negative tactics subconsciously affect players. To see a manager dither with subs must also affect confidence, let alone having a plan A and no plan B. It's reflected across the pitch in sub-standard performances. I'll go as far as to say that RH has (on a sub-conscious level at the very least) lost this set of players. He's been there before and dug out FDB. No chance of him going down that road again for a while. May as well grit your teeth as Roy will be holding the reigns next season.

Our players aren't great, but we have underachieved badly this year. We used to at least have a good back line, but since Sakho has gone, even that has turned to sh-t. We're battling a championship level Cardiff team for relegation, FFS. I'm grateful to Roy for last year, but this year has been abject crap, and I don't see how Roy can come back to do it again next season. There's nothing in the way we are playing that makes me think we'd be any better next year under the same manager. I don't have delusions of finishing in the top 6, but we have enough talent that we should be well clear of relegation before the last game or two of the season.
back line up is nothing to do with Sako the issue is as I stated above the likes of Kelly are solid defenders but they play a set style and strengths are not ball playing which Roy keeps doing. Only positive should be we will have funds to spend this summer hopefully so some extra players can be added but you never know also in some ways would it matter Roy has his favorites which doesn't help matters.

Trying to be objective, last season I saw a remarkable and praiseworthy performance by RH to galvanise the team. This season there has been a levelling out (expected, given the lack of player investment) but worryingly performances are now in decline. The warning signs are there for all to see.

Well two awful weekends of football, not much else to say. Thankfuly we get next weekend off. Got to say pretty clueless and toothless, somebody install a de fib machine at the training ground. Our season is all but done, renew my ST , what the hell for. I must admit, I'm thinking that way. 3 wins at home, rolling over against our rivals. The enjoyment has gone.

Imagine us under Roy next season without zaha, the football will be atrocious. I dont think Hodgson is either good or bad but just competent enough at what he does.

I've decided may be bit raw. However gona say want Roy out in summer. Lose 3 times to them c***s, twice to Brighton and piss poor at home not really excited about him in charge and £500 new season ticket 🙈 I know fine margins at this level but fkin groundhog day isn't it reactive management will only stand still. If you stand still too long you go backwards so I'm rolling the dice. Thanks Roy now out for me. I know few injuries but as the pundits say no Zaha and Sakho were a championship side. So light weight today it was disgusting just needs some man management, some aggression to go with the off the cuff skills and pace we have. Chris Wilder be a punt for me right mix of old and new school management. 🔴🔵🦅

We aren’t used to having to go out to get a win because we set up to be solid and scrape the points to stay up. That isn’t enough to win a cup so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. I’d like to have seen Roy at HT ask each of them individually if they wanted to get to the semi final but it was still pathetic in the 2nd half apart from Batshuayi trying to create for himself.

Not gonna criticise Roy too much as I like him. A decent manager and is at about our level. However, why the hell is Sako never on the bench? We all know our squad is thin with limited options to bring on, Sako has showed many times that’s he’s a useful impact sub. Would have been ideal today. Instead we have players like Ayew on the bench who isn’t even good enough to bring on. Whilst on the rant, had enough of Benteke too.

Yep and with Wilf injured shows how little wing presence in the squad. AWB is an option. Nice low cross for one of the Burnley goals. Unfortunately we have seen this earlier in the season but as nothing had been tried didn't have a clue how that option might pan out. Also as it hadn't been tried wasn't coming today in any case.

Ayew is a winger, but he prefers not to play him. Watford over ran us in midfield in earlier games, I guess that is why he went with 4 midfielders.
