Awful tactics slade!

Tue Apr 19, 2016 8:29 pm

0-0 a must win game first sub makes just before 80 minutes and bring on a winger with 2 strikers on the bench.

What a ridiculous decision.

The last 3 games Wednesday have gifted us the play offs yet we couldn't capitalise on it.

I can't believe he thinks Pilkington is the answer upfront.

I think slade has done a decent job this season but he has to take the blame for the last two weeks .

Weve gone from a vastly improved team on course for the playoffs to a team that look like theyve never played together before .

They look like and play like they are already on holiday . That play off place was there for the taking.
Awful results, awful tactics , awful substitutions. I started to believe he deserves a chance with us but i think he has probably taken us as far as he can and probably ever will .

He's done a decent job and I said judge him when the season is over, it is over now. He has without doubt taken us forward under difficult circumstances but I do agree that I think that's as far as he can take us. :bluescarf: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

I can't help but feel that if Slade plays a good striker we would be doing better.

We won't be winning f**k all whilst Slade is manager
I've never seen such a tactical clueless manager in all my life
You don't win matches without a striker
Slade only brings a striker on with 10 minutes to go
He has to go at the end of the season
Anyone who thinks he should not be sacked are deluded

We've been playing with 2 number 10's for far too long.
With Saadi Zohore Pilks and Immers i would rather any other combination play together rather than the 2 that Slade has been persisting with.

Have to agree with this. I've stuck up for Slade from the beginning and he's done a brilliant job for us overall.

However, one of the first things Slade said was the importance of building partnerships. Well Ralls and O'Keefe were building a wonderful partnership, we were running games with their energy in midfield and Slade had finally found the formula to get us consistently playing well and winning.

Slade made a massive mistake dropping O'Keefe at Fulham, it was a ridiculous decision, a decision I can't really forgive him for at such a crucial stage of the season. We have gone on to take only 2 points from our last 4 games since Slade dropped O'Keefe. It was a decision that completely upset our settled side and we have failed to put in a good, consistent performance since.

Of course, we have lost Pilkington and Manga at this crucial time and Slade had rotten luck with the amount of injuries we had at the start of the season, but every club has similar injury problems.

The reality is we were in a rich vein of form, deservedly winning games and then Slade 'rested' our most in form player. That one decision alone has in my opinion, cost us the playoffs.

The point is he doesn't learn though he thinks what he's been doing is correct (hence why he keeps doing it) this is why I don't want him here next season he's out of his depth tactically

Slade has had ample opportunities to play Zohore upfront where we need goals but yet slade keeps strikers on the bench and insists on playing a winger upfront he's clueless

He does learn to a certain extent he got rid of Revell learned he wasn't good enough stopped using Whitts and Put Ralls in CM but he didn't sign a good striker and when he has got potentially good strikers he wants to keep Pilkington in until its to late which i'm baffled by him about that but I think he will learn that hes not good enough but his timing is way off thats the problem with him timing.

And after 700 odd games as a manager he's still not learnt the art of timing!

Perhaps he should continue his education somewhere else.

Slade is Dave Jones in disguise - loads of league games under his belt and learnt f**k all. Purely ONE dimensional and boring with it :sleepy2:

Considering the circumstances under which he took over,I think he has done a pretty good job up to a point. The experiment with Pilkington worked for a while but I think he's carried on with it,much too long. I think the jury is out on Zohore but unless he gets game time,how is anyone going to know if he's capable at this level.Also,if Zohore is picked,it gives Slade the option to put Pilkington back on the wing where Noone hasn't been playing that well. I would keep Slade on as a director of football with a younger head coach to try and take us to the next level.

If we want any chance of promotion next season, then Slade must go. He's done a decent job, but hasn't got the tactical awareness and motivational skills. Also, too many pointless signings by him. People on these boards say that a good new manager will be expensive, yet if Tan really wants us in the Premiership then he must invest in the likes of Nigel Pearson.
