Better to cut our losses now while the season is still salvageable. Any competent football coach (and I'm including the PE teacher who managed our school team) would have realised that a back three was not working and switched to a flat back four at half time. Instead he just continued in exactly the same vein and surprise, surprise we got mullered second half. He's completely and utterly out of his depth.
None of it was very good was it? We never looked like scoring in open play and looked wide open at the back. Don't think he will go yet though 3 year deal. Worst coach I've seen for a long time beats morais hands down.
I’m rapidly reaching the conclusion he is the worst since Spackman and I saw us under Parkin and Hodges even Morais had more of a clue
Did he actually study Championship football before coming here? Did he do his homework on Forest and Steve Cooper last year? Clearly not, Sibbick has pace not in the team. Midfield needed to be overloaded, that's how Swansea beat us last season playing between the lines with pace.
Thought we were fine in the first half, and came out of the blocks nicely in the second. Then after they scored we were abject. It doesn't fill me with optimism - but I would still give him time.
I know Benson not starting must have been a kick in the teeth after all the preparation, but there was no tactical change even though we could see what was happening, the players looked like they didn't want to be there for the most part. I don't think anyone except Helik and Collins can come away from that game with their heads held high. We were second to every ball, we left loose balls to each other and we just generally looked slow and unfit.
The only thing that grinds with me is Schopp will get a decent pay off if sacked that he doesn't deserve. His body language looks like hed take the pay off tomorrow and run.
Wow, that was bad. I mean yeah we’re 2 strikers and mowatt down, but still, there’s just no organisation or idea. It was woeful. What’s the excuse for the defence suddenly being awful with 4 of the same 5 players in it? they were shocking for 10 minutes in second half, constantly giving us the ball at the edge of their own box and we still couldn’t muster a chance or a shot
Sack him immediately. Not up to it. Absolutely clueless and out of his depth. State of the setup and tactics today including the subs was pathetic. Act now Mr Conway..
I said 'give him 6 games', but it's the manner of the defeats. the performances are getting worse with each game.
Problem is, if he goes, who takes control of the team for the next few games? Everyone is banned to the stands. It'd have to be Kevin Pilkington.
As far as I'm aware the whole three years isn't usually paid. Some sort of settlement is usually reached. But even if it's a year, it means he'll probably pocket £300k for ten weeks of work. Very bad work. Not a terrible deal from his perspective.
