If we LOSE on Friday.....

[Redhead]

I think we are going through a bad patch, it cant get any worse, we will again this season, where better to start than at home to Hull.

I think that Mcghee will be given till the end of January to produce some points, which i think he'll get, but if by January we are a drift at the bottom and we cant buy a win, that is the time to look for some one else, not off the back of a 5-1 drubbing from promotion certs.

All down to who (if anyone) he brings to the club in January, i'd like Hendo, a Left Back and a centre midfielder. On the basis Kuipers isn't as good as Henderson for me, Mcghee clearly doesn't rate Mayo and is destroying Reids confidence by playing him there, and Hammond has fallen apart since the misses at Sheff Utd and Leicester.

Like D:Ream said Things canonly get better!!!

it cant get any worse

I wish you hadn't said that

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I was always pro Magoo up until this season. Two wins this season is not good enough. He obviously cant coach our GLUT of strikers where the goal is.

Magoo OUT

 

[Stinky Kat]

it cant get any worse

it did last year - lost 6 in a row

2 years before it was 12, this is just a slight blip in comparison

If he was a woman would he be a SLUT FACED WHORE ?

No but she might be

 

[Ernest]

What is the point of giving the lardy Jocko clown till the end of January ? That is when the transfer window closes.
Magoo must be sacked now and a proven manager appointed so he can get the best out of any resources he is given to spend.

 

[Rougvie]

The people who are sniping at him now are exactly the same people who sniped at him the year we went up in the play-offs and when he kept us up last year - it's an unchanging cast of the usual suspects.

Not guilty, he ALWAYS had my backing in the past, but the tinkering of this season and the most unbelievable excuses have ensured that my patience is waring VERY thin.

As I said before, he gets till the end of January, if things dont improve by then, then he has to go.

Fair enough, you are one of the few exceptions, as your changing avatars have faithfully chronicled

 

[RexCathedra]

Buffing all day stil won't shine sh*t, and that's the long and the short of it. And all a manager can really do is buff....

The club aren't exactly shit -- that's not fair to a lot of people -- but BHA in their present incarnation are a lucky and hard-working League One club, have been for three or four years, and will be for another year or two anyways.

You could have God on the touchline, the Holy Ghost scouting, and Lazarus as physio, and still finish the year at 39 points, and 23rd place.

Give my cat Max 14 million quid to spend on salaries, and he'll get you promoted....

When you share table space with teams that spend 1/3 of BHA's total wage bill just on agents' fees you're always going to be hanging on by your fingernails.

Change one, you change the other.

Fair enough. I don't agree with you but I guess thats the point of a message board, reasoned discussion. I think our dealings in the transfer window plus our luck with injuries will make or break our season.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Did he?

Harding left of his own accord, he wasn't let go.

Watson is not good enough, and is unable to play left back despite being left footed.

Nathan Jones is hardly a Championship left back either.

Pedant!

Either way, three went out, and no real left-back came in to replace any of them. Whatever your opinions, and I happen to think that both Jones and Watson would have made us substantially stronger this season, it's hard to overlook the fact that McGhee invested heavily, probably excessively, in attack, while neglecting defence. It's hard to believe an experienced manager could so easily lose sight of the bigger picture.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Change one, you change the other.

That's a slightly simplistic view.

David Platt had £8 million to spend at Forest, and where did it get them? Don't get me wrong, staying up would be some achievement, but it's one I think we should be capable of. It's not like we haven't had money; it's still less than most of the other clubs, but we have had it. Where McGhee has chosen to invest it, though, is the questionable area.

You still harping on about this one transfer and neglecting all the other ggod players he's brought to this club?

The manager who never makes any mistakes in the transfer market doesn't exist. It's an immature fantasy of yours.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Much like Jack Duckworth in marmite.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Besides, you miss my point - it's not just that Turienzo looks like being a collossal waste of money, it's that McGhee chose to spend that money on a striker - and not even a target man at that.

I'm genuinely suprised that he didn't think a defender was a greater priority, a decision we've paid for.

His transfer record is a wee bit patchy. Yes there have been the Currie's, Reid, Carole, Frutos, Henderson, McShane and CKR will be a success.

Some like Iwelumo did a job. Benjamin was always likely to get goals.

But then there have been the fairly awfuls such as Molango, Turienzo (at present), Dolan, Yeldell, Jones (the goalie), Shabaan.

I guess with some the jury is still out, such as Dodd (who should be useful), Jarrett, Blaney and to an extent McCammon (there I said it, but I still feel I will be correct with my original statement in the long term).

 

[RexCathedra]

"In a second paper (Rick Audas, Stephen Dobson, and John Goddard, (2002), “The impact of managerial change on team performance in professional sports,” Journal of Economics and Business, 54, 633-650), Audas, et al (2002) attempt to ascertain whether the removal of a manager affects the team’s performance.

They find that after correcting for mean-reversion, teams that remove a manager in mid-season following a string of poor results actually experience even worse results following the manager’s departure, leading one to question why these decisions are so frequently made."

Interesting you can only mainly point to a few emergency loan fill-ins, innit?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

What you get is the same old dialogue of the deaf, the same old cliches being repeated from season to season, and lo and behold, we've even got the "our season is over" one being resurrected in preparation for any possible setback against Hull

You could say the same for the pro mcghee fans
