" I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 5:42 pm

Despite Millwall losing at Leeds today and the six point gap remaining between us and we have a game in hand, I am still not convinced we will not go down.

Charlton were three points behind us before todays games and they beat Brentford and are right on our tail.

I am not saying this because I dont think Slade is the right man but I honestly believe that we will be relegated with him in charge.

Honest opinions please.

Absolutely agree with you.

Just can't see where the next win is going to come from.

Carl, I couldn't agree more and it frightens me TBH :cry:

I honestly thought he would be gone after recent performances and/or results plus the 'talk' that both Dalman and Choo are no admirers of the statue that stands next to the home dugout blocking the view of those who know what they might be doing!

Sadly, the vultures and ne'er-do-wells that currently circle our club are having a field day and we simply have neither the heart or the nouse to 'do it' for ourselves

Worrying times, but (like you and others) I'll be there supporting my team through thick and thin! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

Nailed on been saying this November.
Under Slade we are down without question.

Sad state of affairs.

Agree totally, we're doomed with Slade and his posse of clueless clowns in charge.

Norms and the biggest clown of all is Tan who employs his puppet clowns.

Someone needs to give Slade a life jacket as he is right out of his depth

Under Ole we were heading down in premiership and nothing was done, today where in Championship.
Our players go else where and score and perform
We have good squad but no idea

And as Tan was so keen to point out that Slade was his own appointment let's see him hold his hands up and take the blame for the current mess.

He should know he way out of his depth and do the rightful thing and resign, but what puppet will we be left with then. :bluescarf:

Blackpool, Millwall and Wigan will go down.

Slade will take us down, if not this season next season. :cry:

Yep going down this season, double relegation :bluescarf:

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 6:21 pm

If Slade stays it is going to be very tight. I honestly can't see how we are going to win another game let alone 3-4. Someone at the club needs to grow some balls and do what every fan can plainly see and sack Slade and Young immediately. It's embarrassing just how far out of their depth they both are and the club expects the fans to just put up with it. Most fans knew it was a terrible appointment and it's gone worse than any of us could have imagined.

Spot on this is my big concern and what I would like to see between now and the end of this season is;

1- a game plan with us keeping possession and changing tactics to counter the opposition
2- a sign of momentum that gives us hope for next season
3- a team that would battle through thick and thin for the blue shirt

Am I asking for too much?

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 6:28 pm

We shouldn't be anywhere near the relegation zone with the amount of talented players we have had at the club, I have said from the start that Slade would never take us up, however I also don't think that he will get us relegated either, I'm hoping that Trollope can make a difference, we still have games against the bottom three to come and positive results against those teams should be enough. However, I do hope that the board really make a Manageriall change in the summer as we will get nowhere under Slade :thumbup:

Correct, the Talent has been there all season, its our clueless managers.

Yes they brought talent in,but did not know how to manage them.

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 6:50 pm

With RS in charge it's almost a rubber stamped certainty that we will get relegated.

No Fire, No Passion, No desire, No Fight, No Systems, No plan, No Clue.

A shambles of a Club, run & managed by shambolic people who haven't got a clue!

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 7:08 pm

Its all been quite clear for months and even with the early home wins masking the real issues. There should be no sentiment in this at this stage. If we manage to stay up this season with RS at the helm, then we will be almost certain for the drop next season if he's left in charge. He is a League 1 manager pure and simple - a very nice guy but completely the wrong guy for the job in hand. Its obvious that a major part of his mandate was to offload and reduce the wage bill but even with that, nobody can convince me that from the remaining players, a proven manager at this level would not currently be in a situation whereby we are staring at a six point gap between us and relegation. As I type this, I still cannot believe we were a Premier League team last season and that we are now in this situation.

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 7:17 pm

This poor group of manager/players certainly looks like a relegation squad to me.

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 7:35 pm

Said it before and I will say it again
It's all part of tans plan to payback our fans and get us relegated, due to lack of respect for him.
Struggling chanpionship side or a div 1 side he will still,lose the same when he walks....

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 8:20 pm

Agree with Carl, can't see us winning another game under Slade. I'm hoping against hope that Trollope can improve things. If we stay up it'll be down to Trollope.

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 8:43 pm

I think Trollope will need to bring in another coach with him cos he'll be replacing slade soon imo

we will avoid the drop by a point and tan will label him a hero

thats the long road version...

after the back to blue fulham game i said id give him another 5 games and see whats what

those 5 have come and gone, its been 6, 4 loss 2 draw

blackburn arrive full of beans and will not sit back

im expecting a big number

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 9:17 pm

I've been saying it for weeks that we'll be pulled into a relegation fight

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 9:20 pm

I believe that if we do not go down this season we would definitely go down next season under Slade.

I believe that we had enough points on the board before Slade arrived to save us this season. We are all loyal fans and are entitled to our opinion but I cannot believe that there are some on this forum who support Slade regardless. Even if he took us down, in their eyes there would be nothing wrong with him!

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sat Feb 14, 2015 11:59 pm

Why not stop the negativity channel it into positivity match days like proper fans do

Fans we used to be not the negative doom and gloom merhcants we are now at the CCS

I remember days when we'd scream and sing all day long and you could see players closing down even when knackered as they could here is and knew what it meant to us now they here boos and negative shit all game, with a squad low on confidence it hardly helps the cause does it

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

Sun Feb 15, 2015 12:29 am

I think the only chance we have is if Slade leaves the coaching and tactics to Trollope. I used to complain that when things went wrong Ole didn't have a Plan B....I don't even think Slade has a Plan A.

Re: " I AM NOT CONVINCED "

I think we will be alright maybe Paul Trollope will steady the ship know slade got his own man in that's if slade has picked him.if we can beat Blackburn on Tuesday that will be a massive win Blackburn are a good team improving all the time we don't want our old boys putting one over us even though I liked Conway and gestede when they where here .we got some good fixtures coming up some of them i believe we can but I always believe Cardiff City can win any game
