Good post, but allow me on 2 things. 'If I can work that out then so can the players.' You're not likely to know this but they did. This has come from within the training ground. It's more than the 4 or 5 mentioned in the press, put it that way. Enough for it to be a big issue on top of it being likely to fail anyway. 'If we go back to 4-3-3 we don't need De Boer because he's not used to playing like that. Roy (or Sam) are.' So was Frank. Problem is I don't think Parish could trust he would, and I didn't hear Frank say he would stay with 4-whatever whereas he couldn't wait to tell the world it would be 3-4-3, despite Frank hardly ever having done so before, let alone the players.

Frank de Boer, it was WORKING under Frank. Unlucky at Anfield and Turf Moor should've had at the very least 4 points. Needed the backing of the Board and Steve Parish to get a Right Back, Goalkeeper, and a Striker and didn't get it.

Feel more comfortable with Roy in charge & think he'll get the best out of the team but he's only had one game. I really didn't want Roy in the summer but i'm quite happy he's here now. Not really anyone else we could have chosen after sacking de Boer.

It wasn't just the results that saw him punted.

It looked like it might work playing four at the back at times, but the problem is de Boer wasn't going to do that unless he was told to do it or get sacked, which is no way to go on. Plus which he had already pardewed Delaney, Milivojevic, Ward, probably van Aanholt and possibly Benteke, plus which he couldn't see that Puncheon and Lee were s***e and that Milivojevic was the bollocks. Then there was his non-contribution to the transfer strategy. He didn't just lose four league games. He had started to bollocks up the squad and f*** people off and we've already seen where you can end up when the manager does that.

If he'd been playing to our strengths and had had the team running through walls for him, he'd still be here, irrespective of the initial results. It was his having no discernable interpersonal or man-management skills that got him the chop.

I don't post on here much, but heard Steve Parish interview last night and he is hurting as much as the rest of us. He was open and honest and also brave to come on to face the onslaught. We were unlucky not to score on Saturday (Forster had two goal bound shots hit him on various parts of the body that could have gone anywhere... but stayed out) and even unluckier not to score the week before. My opinion I think we all agree that the passing football we were playing was very good, but we just didn't have the players to execute it at pace, under the pressure of other premiership players closing us down. We've seen worse... most of the time. Remember we are still in the premiership ... we've got the best squad on paper we've ever had assembled at the club... EVER. We'll never know the full story, but let's get behind the team Saturday and get the place rocking again. And anyone who doesn't think Roy's methods for achieving results at this level are any good... his statistics are pretty conclusive and very consistent. It's a brave decision by our owners to make this decision so early, but the right one. We can help change the mood on the pitch by getting behind the team. I don't expect anything out of the next 3 games... if we get a point from those I will be happy. It's from the Newcastle game I am looking for points. Some stats about Roy...
Article about management style and player confidence - [Link] Unless my maths are wrong.....assuming we loose our next 3 games, we will need a win percentage of just under 45% to reach 40 points. Even if we're lucky and 36 would keep us up, that's still a win percentage of 40%....to take a team who loose there first 8 (assuming we do) to then win at least 40% of their remaining games is a very tall order..I'm normally an optimistic person, but I can't see us surviving this season Edited by spartakev2 (19 Sep 2017 11.08am)

If so then half a dozen draws would make the difference between 32 points and 38, say.

That’s a win ration of 30%. Only if we had to gain all the points with wins (which we wouldn’t) then would that require a win ratio of 40%, yes.
