" Trollope today "

For all you calling slade clueless
And putting recent improvements in our play down to Trollope
Can you tell me if he went home at half time
Don't think many who watched today's first half performance can honestly say they saw that second half result coming
I'm not saying slade is faultless but it's time to get real
He is doing what his employer is asking him to do
Just like all of us do when we go to work
If your boss tells you to dig a hole you do it
If he only gives you a spoon to do it that's what you use
Slades hands are tied ,and he's doing the best with what he got
What makes me annoyed is no one says before kick off what team we should put out
No one says what players should have started what players should not of ,,all they say is slades clueless ,,
But what is the answer with what we have available,, not who's gone ,,they are gone ,,
Stability is what we desperatly need not another new manager in such a short space of time
IMO the first half today was as good as I've seen all season ,,we just needed to take one of our many chances ,,but that's football
IMO the players let us and our manager and coaches down big time today with that second half performance ,,
So why don't we put the blame on them for a change

Slade is shit, but if we lose its his fault and if we win its Trollopes work

They work as a pair, they should get praised/slated equally as all the work and decision making is made by THEM

The're all as bad as each other !

Okay, I have no problem in saying that Slade and Trollope and the entire team were the biggest totally incompetent , woeful, clueless load of rubbish that I wasted my hard earned cash to see today. Absolutely dire codswollop drivel.

The problem is that Slade, Trollope (who bow down to master Tan) and whoever else you want to hold responsible for the management of that team of overpaid layabouts do have better resources available. What about Kennedy, Adeymi and Peltier then? Why drop Kennedy who is one of our best players? Why not give Tom Adeymi a proper chance rather than playing the likes of Noone and Whittingham who are selected by default but have been rubbish all seasonal? I was also at Reading on Saturday and we were equally rubbish then.

Carving out some recent flukey results is papering over the deep cracks that go right to the heart of this team and club.

I do agree that players must also take responsibility for the lacklustre performances. However, like any job responsibility lies with the management. Namely, Russell Slade. But I'm happy for Trollope to also take his share of the blame as well.

Yes, as was the team second half. Does Trollope have any influence on tactical decisions, subs etc? Or is he here for coaching the squad?

Doubt if Tan was on the phone telling Slade what formation to use, or telling him to make certain substitutions. I think there will still be some on here giving Slade their full backing when he takes us into Div 1.

Slade's managerial career to date, and what he has shown here, proves conclusively that he is out of his depth! 3 of the starting midfield today won the title under Malky! Our keeper is probably the best in the league and in the back 4 we have two £5m centre backs and a Brazilian international who has played in a champions league final. Slade should be doing far far better with what he has at his disposal! We certainly shouldn't be getting hammered on such a regular basis. Most managers at this level would kill for our squad and to have close to £1m to spend on a striker in the January transfer window.

Morrison is not a £5million centre back. That was a huge f**k up by Ole. £2million at best and a waste of ££ when we had a better centre back in Hudson.

Fabio either needs to be played as a wing back or a winger

Not sure any better strikers went for 750k in January, however, Guerra should have been given a chance

Slade is struggling though, that team should be beating Bolton

slade told us although tan and the coaches make suggestions to him about the team , in his own words
'I have got the final say' so 'SLADE OUT'

Correct,Slade has stated this.

I have never ever disliked any manager so much as Slade.

I know you don't like him but out of every other manager why?

Been watching City for about a 150 years now, and can honestly say during that time I haven't met a nicer bloke than Russell Slade, but with regard to what he produces on the field, I equally can't think of any previous City manager that's been as totally bizarre and clueless as him regarding tactics and selection ! Today we were still playing his unique pass and stop game that we have made our own under his leadership. Unfortunately I don't see us ever moving forward under the present coaching and management set up.

You make my point very well thank you
As you say Marshall manga Morrison fabio whitts etc would all start in your team just like they start in slades
Sadly there performances would let you down just like they are letting slade down

But people on here are calling for Trollope to take over the managers job
They also say our improvements of late are down to him not slade ??????

No it's the players who are struggling
Most on here would pick the majority of the players slade is picking
Slades hands are tied ffs he can only pick from what's left for the rest of this season

slade told us although tan and the coaches make suggestions to him about the team , in his own words

No it's the under performing senior players who need outing

Warburton! Available end of season and a proven manager. Obvious choice. However, Tan's man will not be sacked.

Warburton won't work with the restrictions tan would put on him
That's also why he's leaving brentford as they want him to work under controls he won't tolerate

You actually make my point for me! Look at Palace! They were going down under Warnock, in came Pardew and with the same group of players they are now mid table! Some managers just aren't good enough and drag the players down with them. Slade is in that bracket! And you could also apply the same to Norwich!

Yes and palace and Norwich never sold off or got rid of a third of there squad and had to reduce the wage bill by 12 million

Even before we started to loan players out Slade had already shown in games like Rotherham, Reading, Brentford and Watforf that he was out if his depth! And my point remains, managers at Palace and Norwich took over struggling teams and with the same group of players improved them. We still have a hell of a lot of talent in our squad and it is bring totally squandered. It's not even as if Slade's previous 20 years in management show we should be doing any different. We just need to accept that yes he has inherited a mess but at the same time we still have a good core of players and he just isn't good enough. If he stays he will take us down!

Warburton! Available end of season and a proven manager. Obvious choice. However, Tan's man will not be sacked.

Russell Slade won League 1 Manager of the year voting last year ahead of Mark Warburton and Kenny Jackett.

Next season will be a lot better.

That was Warburton's first season in management! Look how well he's done at a higher level. Jackett has already proven himself at this level and has promotion experience. In 20 years Slade has done nothing. And at a higher level this year he has been dreadful. To say he will do better next year is based on nothing but blind faith. People said the same about Ole!

He took over in November 2013 so arguably he is was (and still is) riding from the coat tails of Rosler's success there.

Slade has taken several teams to play-off finals (and massively punching above weight in process with likes of Orient and Yeovil) and never been relegated in his career.

I'm not saying he is Mourinho but he is nowhere near as bad as people like to make out. The real issue at Cardiff is the incredibly high expectations of the fans and hopefully these are lower next season with us becoming a mid-table Championship side as opposed to a relegated PL side when this season is said and done.

I am sure Slade will get us higher up the table than this season at the very least next season.

In 20 years he hasn't come close to Warburton's success. His style of play, selection, tactics and subs are incredibly bad! Probably the worst I've seen in 30 years! Yes he took Orient to the play offs last year but look where they were when he left! They couldn't wait to get rid of him.

In over 20 years Slade hasnt come close to Warburton's success. Yes he took Orient to the play offs but look where they were when he left! They couldn't wait to get rid of him. His style of play, team selection, tactics and substitutions defy belief ! I've never seen us play so poorly on such a regular basis. There is absolutely nothing positive to look at when it comes to Slade or to think we will have some miraculous improvement under him. All signs point to failure!

Hasn't come close to Warburton's success? Warburton got promoted last season (ALL the success he has had) with a much bigger budget than Slade (and only pipped Orient in the last two months) whilst Slade has almost got two teams promoted from L1, that's pretty close right?

Slade's football is better than Ole's and more attractive than Mackay's. We are far better than we were in the days of Division Three.

Yes because Orient are so much better off without him. He got manager of the year and had lost a play-off final. Teams often need time to come over a knock like that. Everyone tipped Derby to win league this year and they're struggling to get into play-offs.
