We’re all concerned about the club we support fil, but sacking Cook could well make things worse if the new appointment isn’t the right one. See Mackay and Joyce as examples. Mackay even had a decent record at this level.
I would certainly take Cook over Unsworth or Royle for example.
13216
Egg, a few weeks ago we brought in a new rule that predictions had to be at least 5 fewer or higher than predictions that had already been posted.
Donnyspage has already predicted 13214, so I have upped your post in line with the rules to, 13219.[/quote]No worries
So who is capable then week in week out of getting results with a limited squad and no powell against sides with 10x+ yhe transfer budget?
When Martinez did it year after year he was deemed to be shit, so who is capable that will play the 442 exciting football that we all so dearly crave?
Who wants 442?
Our form went to shit because Cook messed around with the formation and our approach to play once injuries hit. Massey’s pace was a loss but all other positions could have been covered with the existing squad. We are unrecognisable from the team that started the season, irrespective of personnel. The closest we got was when down to ten men against Derby. The shackles came off and we looked better than at any other game these past 2-3 months.
The Premier League is a massive gulf in quality over the Championship. Excellent sides can still be relegated given the resources of the opposition. In the Championship only poor sides go down. There isn’t the strength in depth. The odd season you get an outsatanding side or two, but most can beat each other on their day.
Our form the last few months has us bottom of the league. Below sides like Bolton, Ipswich, Rotherham and Millwall. While the likes of QPR and Hull are now pulling well out of sight. The better managers will learn from their mistakes. When you hit a 2-3 month slump and see no signs of improvement, no signs of adapting, then you have to worry.[/quote]
Last 5 games we are 23rd.
Last 6 games we are 23rd.
Last 10 games we aren’t even in the bottom 3.How far back we going in regards to recent form?
Either way we are outside the bottom 3 in the actual table which is exactly where we want to be. The sides below us either have to suddenly win 2 or manage 4 draws without us picking up anything to pass us. I know which position I’d rather be in.
Getting rid of Cook will achieve nothing in my opinion. The players are behind him and are giving everything so I can’t see us having a Man Utd style turnaround just by sacking him.
I keep saying it, but had you offered me this position at this stage then I would have taken it and TBH I’m still confident we will survive.
Sums us up away from home. Finally get something for our dominance and then manage to throw it away somehow.
We’re seriously lacking confidence at the minute it seems.
Ah well – a point to add to the tally towards survival I guess.
Where did I mention WBA? We were talking about Ipswich being a better side than us because they scabbed a win against us a few weeks ago.
I wouldn’t be expecting us to beat a side WBA especially away from home because yes, they are a better side than us as the table suggests and seeing as their forward line is worth more than our squad I would expect that to be the case.
Going off current form…Rotherham, Ipswich and Reading.
Our lack of goals is starting to become a major problem
Unless you have been living in Syria for the past few months Ipswich beat us, they got a possible 4pts from 9, 3pts of that was made up by beating us. That was a side who hadn’t won at home and you reckon were a better side ?. You wanna keep of the fookin cherry and skunk.
If you beat the teams in and around you you stand half a chance but to do that you need to score and try keep a clean sheet.
I’m sorry but Cook is way way out his depth. That side he picked yesterday would bog League Two. The slight problem with that is, were not in League Two which shows he’s like a duck out of water.[/quote]Leicester beat Man City yesterday, does that make them a better side than City? Does it f***
After 24 games they are 10 points behind us in the table so I would suggest that that means we are a better side than them regardless of whether they beat us or not.
If you off the last 6 (most form tables) we are 21st.

Go off the last 5 and yes we are rock bottom with those 3 above us.
