Should Saunders go
I posted last week that I have believed all along that Saunders is not the future at Wolves but I was willing to be converted to him if the team / club started to deliver.
Well after what can only be described as a brilliant weekend and congratulations to everyone as they are deserved due to their efforts whilst prompting them with the simple message "it has to continue" I have to conclude that my opinion has not changed.
You could argue that Middlesbrough are currently in dire form, as were Millwall and that Birmingham are like the Pakistan cricket team - you never know which team is going to turn up, the good or bad one so the results to a certain proportion can be ignored except for what it does to team spirit and confidence.
My concern is that the teams that have done well recently are not the first choices of DS.
De Vires - only playing because a tactics board got between Saunders head and Ikemes fist
Hunt - only playing because Peszko apparently stood up to Saunders
Davis / Doherty 0n extended runs - only playing because Sako is injured
Additionally, why when you are 3 up and goal difference may count at season end do you revert to defensive tactics, is it because you do not trust your defenders or only understand negative situations.
Sorry to be the party pooper but although the last two games have shown optimism I cannot see either the tactics or style of football advocated under Saunders helping the club post May
Hard to know which of the 7 dwarves you are - Happy or Grumpy?
Grumpy - I cannot get excited by short term wins against a team in shocking form or one who fluctuate all the time.
I want to support a team that
a) plays positive football
b) is managed by someone who understands tactics
c) has a plan, irrespective of what it is
d) is managed by a manager who knows his best 11
Why get excited by two results and think all the problems have disappeared, look at the table, results since Christmas, ability to sign players etc.
Papering over cracks, that is what Saturday and Monday was about but for those who fall into the "Dopey" dwarf category, it was seen as the salvation and future
Defensive tactics in second half against Blues because they were knackered after only 48 hours break. Blues had an extra day and were, after all the home team fighting after we outplayed them in first half. Barry
Sorry how has sako being injured mean the influx do Davis and Doherty, they are on the other side of the pitch? Ludicrous, considering they were playing before he was injured. And hunt was playing because he is better than peszko and Saunders doesn't rate him, nothing else. Plus you can only beat what is in front of you, doesn't matter who even though birmingham were in good form, they had just creamed palace. With Saunders we play more effective football than under solbakken, when we had no clue what was going on. Make your mind up do you really want disaster for the club, then go back to solcrappen
All I can say his keep up good work, deserves all the credit he can get if gets us out this mess, because the board havnt helped him one bit, moxey hasn't even said nothing since we went on losing run, supose we won't shut him up if we get out this mess and morgan, they will come out with same story, this won't happen again and we all now that it will, if nothing changes at board level, because they need to now what direction they are going and stick to it and get this great club up and running, the fans are the only ones who get behind them 100 per cent, its about time they gave we something to cheer about, then you will see your stadium full mr. morgan keep up good work deano
Downo's football is dull. We're papering over the cracks every week.
The team you need to support then with the list above is Man U. Don't be Bashful toddle off and support them.
Weather u think is football is dull or bril let's just keep in this div and if we are safe look at it then. until then back him to the hilt for these last 6 games. at least we are attackin a bit more than we did with solbacken
The football is dull - did you go to the Boro game - best match at home this season, it may not of been technically brilliant but not dull. The dull football. Finished at Christmas.
How can you say deanos football his dull, when he has not been backed by board, and most of playes at club were not brought in by him and he his fighting for every point to keep us up, he told you to forget prety football for this season because of the mess we are in, so judge him if he keeps us up and his then backed by mr money bags, then you can judge him
You're all just making excuses for him. Why has it taken this long for him to get going, playing a style of rubbish that the players are apparently used to? I hope this hoof ball merchant is gone at the end of the season come what may.
Doesn't matter how long it has taken him to get them playing again - the only thing that matters is that he HAS got them playing again. If that continues for the last few games that will suit most of us. The summer is then time for post mortems and re-building.
