Allardyce

[Bombers right foot]

Another master class from a coach from a bygone age, he’s starting to make Gould and Pardew look like world beaters

Clock ticking I reckon on when he walks. I fear for us in The Championship as well. I think we are heading for some really dark days. There are a lot of posters on here me included who may never see Albion in the top flight again due to their age. Sorry to sound so maudlin but I fear the worst. Hope I'm wrong.

5 points from 30, made us worse as a team, and that took some doing, never mind though another manager going to trouser millions for abject failure.

Fulham did for Bilić as Sheff utd did for Sham last week. We are doomed with a charlatan at the helm The bloke clocks on, tells the lads to run round a few cones, has a pork pie for lunch then spends the rest of the working day in the office admiring his bank balance

We can moan as much as we like about Sam’s team selection but really, whatever line up he puts out, would it make any difference? If we had Pep or The Chosen One in charge of this squad, we would still be headed for the Championship. The culprit for ******* our club is the owner, whether it is Lai or some other clueless Chinese tw@t. I think that Lai’s approach to preserving our Premier League status is akin to a plumber buying an electricians tool kit to replace a bath.

Yes I agree. Just too many holes to plug.
Today Our right full back position was an issue, but let’s face it both Furlong and O’Shea have been very poor there.
DM, perm anyone from Sawyer, Livermore, Phillips. Does anyone think Gallagher or Pereira could player there. Hopefully the new guy will do the Job. Sadly I don’t think Snodgrass has the legs that Sam though he had. Before anyone suggests Sam Field, honestly he is good passer but Yacob he is not.
Sawyers ball watching for both goals again, He is supposed to have good vision ! maybe he has some medical condition that only allow him to spot players wearing the same colour strip as himself
Positive points, Townsend improvement on Gibbs and Diagne although drifts off side constantly does actually look dangerous

I'm no fan of Allardyce but anyone taking over from Billic was going to have an issue, he had a very limited budget in the summer but Billic's insistence to spend the majority of it on Grant and Diangana when we really needed a defensive midfielder a right back and a centre half has gone a long way to causing the issues we currently have, that said we need to start planning for the championship now we have a lot of players out of contract and i can't see Allardyce sticking around so we should already be looking for our next manager.

Dinosaurial tactics from a coach so out of touch it beggars belief,
Allardyce wanted to try a different formation, so Sam did it work leaving out our top scorer and only Premier League class player in Peirea, (Maitland Niles is an Arsenal Player) Playing Sawyers as a DM AGAIN!!! Leaving out Robinson, one of our most energetic players, playing the journeyman Peltier
Time to go I’m afraid

I think that he has had enough time to see all of his players yet he continues with baffling starting line ups. With Sawyers or Livermore getting a start every week, I still am concerned about who is really picking the team.

I reckon its Sawyers and Livermore.
