This is gonna take months.

Just got back home. I've just done a 3 and a half hour round trip for that! Paid extra on top of my already expensive season ticket fotlr what was supposed to be a battling Bluebirds side playing with passion.
In all fairness I couldn't fault the team selection on paper. aside from my reservations about kimbo, what I thought was an attacking 433 bold formation. Like hell was it!
I have no idea what has been going on at the club over the summer, but tonight looked like we got 11 good players, put them on the field together for the first time ever and insisted that they don't talk to each other. A hell of a lot of talent on that pitch tonight, and no where near ready to play competitive football. It looks like we need a completely new preseason!
I can't blame the players. I can't blame the owners. I don't want to blame Ole, but we need it fixing fast!

3 and a half hour round trip for rubbish football, and I'll do it all again Saturday.

Agree with you. Who ever takes over will need months to put it right. There will be no instant fix.
There will be no promotion this season that's for sure. :?

Dead right. Forget promotion. Relegation to League 1 far more likely, but it would have been a certainty under OGS.

Agreed. It's not a certainty, but relegation is a distinct possibility. We need an experienced Championship manager in soon. Stabilise the ship, and see where we are at Christmas.

I agree this is gna take longer than just this season,it'll take about three or four before we're in a position to even try and get back the the premier league,a manager who will tell tan straight is what's needed along with a cull of the current squad,players like Brayford and macheda and Maynard and Kim and Guerra don't seem to have any fight about them and we're in a dog fight,don't let anyone fool u we're fighting to stay in this league and at the moment it's a fight we've no chance of winning which is why a seasoned manager who can organize a defense is needed more than anything
