Brentford 3 - Wolves 0 - a black armband verdict thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

You can never really tell someone's managerial credentials based on punditry but there are three out there at the moment who I think speak a lot of sense, clearly know a lot about the game and who knows, they may be interested in moving into management. Wolves is a good first gig for someone, I feel established managers who are any good may give us a wide berth but for a guy looking for a first opportunity it would be more attractive.

The three I have in mind are Jermaine Jenas, Danny Murphy and Danny Higginbotham. I do think if we want something exciting and with plenty of potential then we may have to go left field. Would rather be taking a chance on any of those three than appointing Ince, Holloway, Billy Davies, Megson, DJ etc etc.

Alternatively would there be any value in seeing if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fancied another go at it in England? Didn't work out at Cardiff but he was extremely highly thought of beforehand and that club is an absolute circus.

I'd go for Edinburgh but in the Summer. I think he'd probably come then even if he took Gillingham up. With them being in the play offs now versus 13 games of nothingness for us I'm not so sure he would at the moment.

low/mid-table Championship. I want more than that

I fear you may be disappointed

I wouldn't ever have a pop at people who go to games like this evening, but I do wonder in what circumstance some would ever sack a manager? Even Frank has cracked!

The young lad. Jesus. Blaming injuries! Is his name KJ??

We were shit before that, and how is the guy who played like 8 games getting injured a season ruiner!

 

[Derby Wolf]

Season ticket holder at Leicester that I work with, her sister is an employee there.
Tenuous? In some eyes I bet! But when am I so passionately anti- something like I am here? I'm not.
Johnny, do you know of him?

Devils advocate here...

You aren't, but you are passionately pro Edwards? Other side of the same coin?

I'd have Ole on the basis that he's Norwegian, but I imagine that wouldn't be a selling point for most after our last Nordic notable.

As pundits I like all 3 of those, Phil Neville is another that could be a runner come the Summer. Murphy was prepared to ditch the media work to be Asst Manager at Liverpool in the Summer.

Has Gary Neville not taught you anything...

Three wins in a row now, bruv.

A club like Valencia in a different country was always going to be a monstrous task.

 

[Sniffer]

Has Gary Neville not taught you anything...

Three wins in a row now, bruv.

He'll get the England gig when it's next up for grabs.

 

[Jinky]

Did anyone off here actually go to tonight's match?

If so, verdict please.

 

[Tony Towner]

Just seen the goals. Many, me included have been championing Byrne, but the way he stopped tracking the runner for the second, added to the goal on Saturday and the Boro penalty gives me serious doubts about his desire.

Burnley West Ham West Brom and Swansea. That's all those games.

May; Beat QPR 5-1, Southampton 2-0 and Newcastle 3-0 plus a draw at Sunderland.
April; Won at Burnley 1-0 and WB 3-2 plus home wins vs Swansea 2-0 and West Ham 2-1
So that was 7 wins and a draw in the last 9 games...
(Sorry to return to this late but just home and catching up)

 

[jd1981]

The hierarchy at the club is in such a lethargic state I fear they'll have no appetite to sack KJ at least until the 3/5/16.
I'd be very surprised if any action is taken prior to Saturday.
As I've said on previous threads I'm really concerned about what will happen in the summer and further into next season.
The plan at the moment very much seems to be exist and survive.

So disinterested have I become I didnt even remember we were playing. Just seen the result. Doubled by Brentford. We are absolute shit on and off the pitch. What a bunch of tossers.

We are so shit we play even bang average sides like Brentford back into form. This is a habit we have got to break and break fast. We are lucky to have the points we do have already and that there are 3 or 4 teams who are worse than us because we look like a dead team walking led by a clueless manager playing out of form players out of position and buying other players who we then dont play. Absolute disgrace of a season. Season ticket holders should get their money back for the tripe that Molineux has been served this year. Its been worse, yes worse football than the relegation season under Saunders. I dont care if I didnt see the game tonight. The stats dont lie. We have more shots against us than ANY other championship team. It is official we are in serious trouble. And please dont give me the pant wetting comments. My pants are perfectly dry. 33 games = 3/4 of a season and we are where we deserve to be based on how we have played.We have not been unlucky , in fact we have scraped several games when we deserved little so thank heaven we have the points. Sack Jackett in the morning.

 

[Lupo]

It was those 4 games on the bounce just after Christmas which have saved us but we knew then they weren't convincing and were just papering over huge cracks

I'm not at all mate, I refuse to skate him like a lot of you do. Hardly passionate.

Hugely impressive. Still an absolute twat? Still got them down there in the first place.

I'll never ever accept him regardless of anything. He isn't what he seems. Why hasn't he got a role yet? Genuinely don't know if he's that good.

13 games 39 points available we are 14 above the bottom three. It's not totally beyond the realms of possibility of a few, ever dwindling, of the teams below us putting some sort of run together. The fat lady may well have a very sore throat but it seems to be healing each match that goes by. Somebody tell me we aren't playing any better, worse more likely, than the three marooned at the foot of the table - we just got dicked by the worst, form, team in the league at present.
