My questions to Russell slade?

now you all know I have supported our manager from day one,

But last nights shambles has broken my resolve

So Mr slade
1-what have you done to gunnerson to make him so poor in all his play for us when he puts in very good performances as captain of Iceland
2-how come since noone has signed his new 4year contract he has become very one dimensional
3-how come you keep playing whitingham who now never takes players on ,his first thought is to get rid of the ball as quick as possible backwards or sideways and never forward,he continually slows our forward impetus
4-how come ameobi has had is best games for us on the left ,but now you play him down the right
5-how come none of our players try to beat the opposition but continually pass sideways or backwards
6-why is Kennedy not getting game time
7-why loan out Doyle and keep revel
8-why loan out ajayi and pay Tommas wages to sit on the bench
Now Mr slade I'm not blaming you or saying you are wrong with the above ,
I am asking you to tell us fans the honest answers to the above questions
IMO last nights player performances looked like they were not playing for you ,not playing for us fans ,not playing to stay in the side for the next game ,and seemed not to be playing for each other
Let me give you one example us fans had to witness last night
Late in the game we won a throw in down the right half way inside the Leeds half gunnerson who had not taken a long throw in all game ,gestured to Morrison and Connelly to get up front for him to launch one they both declined ,gunnerson never took the throw in and we then lost the opportunity to attack
As an oap season ticket holder last nights game cost me £24 for my ticket, £20 for my share of the petrol ,£35pounds for my overnight stay ,£30 for food and drink ,in total ££109 now that is a pittance to our millionaire over paid underachieving players ,but it shows more commitment from me than they show us
So is it your fault or there's ,or are they so rich the football doesn't matter to them anymore

If anyone knows how to send this to tucker or someone at the echo so as these questions can be put to slade do it for me

Bang on with all those questions. I'd love to see them in the press or, even better, put directly to Slade.

I've got one to add to the list -

Do you need a lift to the station with your bags Russell?

I can answer no3 , Whittingham always has a look for a forward pass but there is never anyone to pass to as they are always all marked up and not moving rather than hitting and hoping Whittingham will look to retain possession by passing it back in hopes that the team will move to create space but they don't . I like Whittingham he is a good player just the team don't play to his strengths when we played attacking football under Jones the team always moved about hence why Whittingham was at his best as he was effective in being able to mke a killer pass

Spot on

I would like to know what do they do in training ? Mason and Revell has been with us from the start of the season yet they do not gel, the chance that Mason missed last night obviously do not practice one on ones not only that chance Mason missed the one against Wolves and the Ameobi one against Bristol

How come it's taking all this time to realise Slade is enept?
It's allright supporting a manager but being blind to his short comings has proved you know sod all about football.
You argued and argued his case and couldn't see the bigger picture. At least now you can .... at last

.

Dear 3339,
Question 1)
Where's Iceland.
Question 2)
It's not a 4 year contract it's 4 one year contracts.
Question 3).
Somebody told me once that possession is 9/10th's of the law. So if we keep the ball they can't score.
Question 4).
If I look towards the Grange end which is left or right.
Question 5).
See answer 3?
Question 6).
As far asI know Kennedy was shot in Dallas.
Question 7).
Mr Doyle was spending too much time writing about Sherlock Holmes.
Question 8).
It's cheaper.

I have tried to answer the questions to the best of my ability and as honestly as I can, so I hope this brings satisfaction to you and othe other 5000 that will be attending on Saturday.

sorry but that exscuse is well worn out now , put it this way if hes so good on/with the ball surely you want him with it not morrison or connelly who invariably are in a worse position then whitts , and another thing I can remember when his corners were spot on right in the danger area with pace not any more , I alsomremember the times you relate to when he would shoot from outside the box not any more , peopke are quick to blame the strikers , but how many chances are being created for them , hardly any , sorry imo whitts is the biggest let down this andblast season , hes defo in comfort zone

the press are too scared to ask these types of question as they would get banned again .

Good post Steve. And I would like an answer to a lot of the above as well. Spot on fella

Good post Steve..... It wasn't too long ago we were all scared of asking you these questions

now you all know I have supported our manager from day one,

But last nights shambles has broken my resolve

So Mr slade
1-what have you done to gunnerson to make him so poor in all his play for us when he puts in very good performances as captain of Iceland Because he is poor, look at his first season with us at least 5Kg's heavier nowadays, doubt he covers more KM's than Whitts in a game
2-how come since noone has signed his new 4year contract he has become very one dimensional Because his 1 or 2 stand out performances were cameo from the bench roles in a free role when Malky set up uber defensive . A 433 forward,
3-how come you keep playing whitingham who now never takes players on ,his first thought is to get rid of the ball as quick as possible backwards or sideways and never forward,he continually slows our forward impetus Malky realized that Whitts legs were going, the game is getting faster but technically our best player. Funny no one moans about his defense any more
4-how come ameobi has had is best games for us on the left ,but now you play him down the right A 433 forward and thats it or similar to Noone in the Malky era
5-how come none of our players try to beat the opposition but continually pass sideways or backwards Because the expensive squad is fundamentally slow
6-why is Kennedy not getting game time Cos everyone thinks Noone is a superstar
7-why loan out Doyle and keep revel Because we could get a fee
8-why loan out ajayi and pay Tommas wages to sit on the bench Because at least Ajayi is playing (if not injured

I just knew it that Whitts would be blamed for Slade being inept and clueless

Good post Steve and these are the questions that need answering. As well as why 4-4-2 every single bloody time without fail. Why no change of system when things aren't working?

I also agree with your comments about midfield. I think this is a bit of a red herring. I have seen many instances this season and previous where our strikers have got into great positions but the midfield in general seldom have the vision or nous to see it. Creativity hasn't been our forte for a long, long time and the desperate need for pace is overwhelmingly obvious.

i think we switched to 4 5 1 one game last season cant remember who against but we played alot better and no surprise we won. The guy is absolutely clueless

Good post Steve glad i am not the only one that lost patience.

sorry but that exscuse is well worn out now , put it this way if hes so good on/with the ball surely you want him with it not morrison or connelly who invariably are in a worse position then whitts , and another thing I can remember when his corners were spot on right in the danger area with pace not any more , I alsomremember the times you relate to when he would shoot from outside the box not any more , peopke are quick to blame the strikers , but how many chances are being created for them , hardly any , sorry imo whitts is the biggest let down this andblast season , hes defo in comfort zone

he's been played out of position since Jones left ,Malky ruined him by playing him as a CDM thats the position he's been played in most of the time since

Stupid sods! I feel sorry for 'em Steve

Glad you were talking to that Steve and not me
I don't hate whitts you got one letter wrong
I don't rate whitts bit of a difference to hating him
Just because our opinions differ no need to let us get up your nose
And if people our getting up your nose try a couple of these that should help

Calm down Steve you're not reading the script properly! Get yourself off to Specsavers and take a good look at my regular posts

Btw I don't hate him either; one of the most charming footballers I've ever had the pleasure to meet, as compared to someone else who once played for us who was the polar opposite!
