Yes, I thought at the time that's what you were hinting at Sub. If you do a bit of research into MUD Analytics and see who else is involved, it gets very interesting. I suspect what Vinni is trying to replicate here is not Brighton or Brentford but Union St Gilloise in Belgium, but for whatever reason it hasn't worked. Not yet anyway.Quote:

You only have to look back to when it was done previously - were Reading plain lucky aswell ?
If you look at the championship now Leicester have to win 7/8 of their last 10 games to better us and all of them I think for Readings points tally.
You’ve decided to join the doom and gloomers negative band wagon on here but just like with Lyle Foster I’m prepared to give it more time even with the frustration of a relegation in the mix.
If the club stick with VK I think he’ll sort it out - I seem to remember a certain Alex Ferguson where the crowd bayed for blood and years later he’d won the lot ( I’m not saying we’ll do this but I’ll give him a chance and see where it takes us ).
People are frustrated me included but knee jerk reactions *******ising people amd sackings are rarely the right decisions- it could spiral us out of control -the next manager doesn’t like a players - players don’t want to play for a manger .
The strange thing is relegation looms but VK now has time to see what’s good for us and not to build again. ( just a thought ).
Under Garlick/Dyche we were too biased towards survival using age/experience. We had very little coming through the ranks and you couldn't see what the club's strategy really was.
Under Pace/VK i think we have just gone too far the other way. The team and manager are too inexperienced to compete, at least in the short term.
But, if the plan is to revolutionise the squad and build a new core which is more competitive in a few years time then it might be frustrating now but you have to let it pan out. We might even struggle next year, but again it's too short a time frame to deliver what i think they are trying to.
While its plain to see that relegation is unavoidable for us although not certain as yet.Quote:

I’d guess vintage that’s what he’s doing or trying to do anyway - Dakill hasn’t featured but seems to think he should be from the Belgium press etcQuote:

In no way shape or form have either Ekdal or Al-Dakhil been any worse than O'Shea.Quote:

Short memory again BT - early doors he got out muscled - our fought so many times , hence why he lost his place.Quote:

That story can be applied to a lot of our players tbh , they may yet become the players VK things they can / will be.
O’Shea has had a bad few weeks tbh but he doesn’t have anyone with him either that talks organises etc.
All of us have played with people not good enough at some point - I once filled in for a Saturday team when I’d finished playing tbh at 41 and a lad at full back wouldn’t throw the ball to me because he said I had a man marking me - I explained after it’s 11v11 didn’t mean he was a bad player just learning on the job as he went, like alot of our players.
As uncomfortable as that is, it’s true.
Ekdal is too slow for the Premiership - I like him as well - honest footballer who will do his best.Quote:

Indeed he did Supersub. You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off but not many people know that.Quote:
