Told today it's not slades team hmmm

Sat Aug 29, 2015 8:31 pm

Some one said to me today its not slades team as the starting eleven only had one of his signings in it
How any one can think that the squad we now have is not slades I have no idea
Slade has moved on the players he needed to ,and brought in players to complete his squad
So who has he signed that's not starting
Can't really count Malone as he has been injured
Revell has been starting due to Jones not being fit ,however Jones has now started the last 2 games (both wins )
O keefe is being kept out by digikio now being fit ,and ralls undroppable so far this season
Doyle is defo down the pecking order this season as Mason is first choice
Ajayi is young and one for the future
And this weeks signing will need a few weeks to get up to a fitness level that will be required
The start to the season we have had is in my opinion down to the squad ,not just the starting eleven ,we now have on
Our bench game changers and players hungry to get in the first team ,
If I've missed anyone out please tell me :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Slade took over when we were in an awful mess.

No money
No moral
No fans

His remit - to slash the waste and stop us being relegated.

He had to turn around a disillusioned team
With no spirit or togetherness.

In the process, the football was dire.

This is his team.
There was no team when he came.
Has to buy freebies or low fee players
Not the financial support that malky or ogs had.

Not sure what position we will end up
But surely we have to support him and the boys
Through thick and thin.

Hope we can add 1 to maintain our momentum.
Although I dread Tan taking 1 or 2 away from
Him and tie yet another arm around his back.

He deserves credit for the last two good results, we are where we should be according to slade but above where I thought we would be. Far to early to judge tho.

His signing are a concern, doesn't seem to trust his own judgement on signings. Luckily the team is other managers signings. If I was Tan I'd be pleased with the start but certainly wouldn't be opening the cheque book.

I have been one of the harshest critics of Slade but that is because he still has a lot to prove. Having said that, he is doing it at the moment and the players all seem to want to play for him. That tells you something in itself. If you can galvanise a squad of players and get them to believe, that is half of the battle won. Warnock did it with QPR and made them a hard team to beat that played some nice football at times as well. Granted, they had the benefit of Taarabt that season who could turn it on in the flick of a switch if he felt like it. The only player who had Taarabt's number that season was Savage, who marked him out of the QPR vs Derby game. Credit must be given where its due and Slade seems to be proving a lot of doubters like myself wrong. Long may it continue.

Yes and as usual I'm not sure what your point is or why you can't use paragraphs.

Sounded like your trying to make excuses for Slades signings because we had won the last two games without them playing :lol:

Not sure why your so confrontational after wins on here, should enjoy the wins like everyone else.

1 Youth team palyer
2 Dave Jones signings
5 Ole signings
3 Slade signings
3 Malky signings

Maybe Ole knew what he was doing after all :laughing6:

I felt Ole problem was managing what he had, I thought his signings were decent, just didn't know what to do with them.

The point is it's slades squad ,he has not kept all the inherited players ,he is now getting last years under performing players to perform
What makes you think I'm confrontational ,
And what makes you think I'm not enjoying our win
Rather confrontational assumptions by you in my opinion :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

He couldn't settle on a formation or anything. You wonder how much Dikcagoi's injury effected whatever his vision was, Dikcagoi Whitts with Dæhli in front with wingers and Jones? But then why buy Le Fondre, Guerra and Macheda?

O'Keefe, Kennedy, Doyle don't look like bad signings in and of themselves, yet Slade's not impressed, odd. Especially with Kennedy.

You said under performing players? I'm asking what players under performed last season that slade has got performing this season.

Spot on.
This guys always confrontational and always having a go at City fans. One guy mentions it's not Slades team and he kicks off and makes a thread. Just wants to argue instead of enjoying our wins etc.
Some people are never happy unless their moaning.
