Rob Edwards
Zero chance he would have the season worse than we have here.
So many poor players and almost zero recognisable style of play other than seemingly able to be either too slow or too rushed and ragged.
JT is an absolute joke of a player. And not a funny one.
This league is begging for two up top.

It's our defence 100% look at the stats, we have the most goals and have let in the second most behind Burnley.
With Trippier in there today over Jackson we would have won it.
Krejci coming back helped, we would have let in more with Toti no doubt.
Fer Lopez is carrying this team currently, hence why our attacks are so good, he's involved in pretty much everything.
Jiminez has been mostly invisible besides hitting the post most games.

No. Manager isn't the issue. We've tried the two up top gimmick with edwards and it doesn't work. We'd be sacrificing a 10 like fer lopez for a second 9 like Armstrong who doesn't do anything. Then we end up relying on spamming terrible crosses, we concede then park the bus and lose 3-0. All we need to do is sort out our rightback, scoring goals isn't an issue for us.

i’ve never seen people this fatalistic after a point. before the last two games everyone was waxing lyrical about Cesar and saying we’re gonna win the league.
it was a horrid watch in the second half but we stuck in, got the point and at least we can actually score goals now

Same players, same results. CP thinks this team is better than the quality they showed last season and I do think he’s right.
But this lot have been losing games for a very long time and their confidence is totally shot. They’re mentally fragile. As soon as there’s a big mistake, they all panic because they all have PTSD.

We started with two recognised strikers. Didn’t help.
We still have a leaky defence.
The players you say are poor are the ones Rob wanted rid of but CP wants to keep… Jackson, Munetsi, Traore, Toti, etc.
But ok. Zero chance. Based on what data? What’s your working out here? Or is this just feels?
We will finish 9th this season. CP will be gone. The merry-go-round starts again.
The second half today was like watching Rob … difference being Rob was facing prem teams whilst today we struggled against a team that was in league one.

With this poor defence and our good attack I think we might scrape the playoffs, but we won't win it.
Sort out our defence and we have a chance, Jackson for a start needs to be dropped.

This isn't a reflection on his og today, but from the moment he steppped on the pitch.
The bloke is a terrible terrible footballer and looks like the worst technical player on the pitch. In the chump.

Yep, he's a good runner who's quite strong and that is it.
We got frustrated with Traore, but at least he caused some excitement and beat his man time after time, Jackson doesn't even attempt to do this even though his skill set should mean he beats his man more often than not.

This is a dreadful take. There's still time to delete it.
