ewerk 31341 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Not sure, hasn't done anything since the start of the season to convince me but I'll give him more time based on his success with Bolton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I reckon he is the man. Â Just needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I reckon we should just change manager every 6 months or so, its great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I've never thought he was the right man for the job, but the worst thing we could possibly do would be to replace him. Â He's had a shocking year (2007) in terms of results; let's just hope his 2008 is better. Â Thing is, I trust him in the transfer market far more than I trusted the last 2 fools.

Dr Gloom 22348 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 if he stops playing smith in midfield i'll regain some confidence in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 if he stops playing smith in midfield i'll regain some confidence in him  I personally thought Smith had a good game today, unlike the rest of the midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Not a fan of Smith (certainly in midfield) but I thought he did ok today, still gave away some stupid fouls though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7257 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 It seems sam would be better served as a director of football. He knows everything about fitness, training, opta stats. Not so much about playing Left wingers on the Right wind and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Well WH are spanking Derby 4-0 away, why couldnt we do that? Sam?   5-0, Solano.  Seems that West Ham didn't go there thinking 0-0 would be a good result. Solano man of the match by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7257 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 One of the sky commentators commented that we would be happy with a draw at SOS today. I hope to god he didnt get told that by Sam. Â This whole win your home games and draw your away games mentality should only apply when we play the top 5 or 6. Theres no need to look for a draw against teams in the bottom half of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 We played from the start like we were playing for a draw, not for the first time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I haven't been impressed. Â It had to be expected that he would need time to get things right on the pitch, the poor tactics, playing people out of position and not keeping a balanced team is really costing us.

Bombadil 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm not looking forward to our next three fixtures. I really can't see us getting more than one point. 1-1 at home to Liverpool is my guess, followed by losses against Blackburn and Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
