Has Poyet lost the players?

[withdeanwombat]

I agree with everything everybody has written on here,with a special mention for the loss of Kit Napier.If he was here now,and in his prime,he would be worth mountains of gold,as he knew where the opponents net was and seemed intent on scoring quadzillions of goals.

Truly a Legend.

 

[Rugrat]

Well he's lost the midfield ... nowhere to be seen yesterday

 

[smudge]

He's gone FFS, give it a rest... you detractors keep whining about us real fans that talk about where we are now and where we were, yet you harp back yourselves. I so want a win so you lot f*** off to wherever you go when we're winning.

What he said.

 

[Ernest]

He will lose his job soon

 

[Smythe]

I think he has lost his way with the team formation at the moment, or the players are not fully understanding it, either way it's not working. Bridcutt, crofts and Hammond together as a midfield 3 doesn't seem to work, I also think since we've been playing this way Bridcutt has gone off his game a bit.

 

[jackcgull]

of course he hasn't. what a lot of nonsense. how can anyone think of sacking Gus?
i enjoy this forum generally for the chat and the laughs. But any suggestion that Gus will be sacked at a time like this is beyond ridiculous. Can you stop it and stick to giving us your marvellously intuitive opinions of how he will turn it round? Plan B anyone?

 

[pork pie]

No idea about the players.

However, he has clearly lost the plot, and is progressively loosing the fans.

 

[Bruntburger]

Not sure about that, although managers have lost their jobs for less.

I couldn't think of anyone I'd want to replace Gus with?

Only Glen Hoddle

 

[patcham lad]

regardless of who we play on the day we seem to struggle to score a goal - i am getting pissed off hearing what a great team we have when we keep on giving so called lesser teams 3 points.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

I must admit the thought had entered my head once or twice, and again if people are totally honest about it
it has probably entered most peoples minds for a split second or two at some juncture !

 

[GT49er]

He's certainly lost the defence - that's 9 goals in 13 games they've leaked this season already. Atrocious!

 

[piersa]

More nonsense being peddled.

Someone asks a reasonable question and you act like you have special needs again. well done.

 

[portslade seagull]

Genuine question. Are they fully behind him?

is this a panto question ? ( they're behind you ) oh no there not ... o yes they are

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

He's certainly lost the defence - that's 9 goals in 13 games they've leaked this season already. Atrocious!

It would only take us to have a hiding of 4 or 5 goals and the "best defence" bit has gone then we are left as distinctly average.

Can't see no way back for Gus now. He's lost it. We was the perfect club for him to better himself but when he get's the chop from us then only clubs in the lower reaches would take their chance with him.

Makes me laugh when he bangs on about wanting to mange £100,000 aweek players, really? Can't even manage £4 - 10k awwek players mate. get real and wake up and smell the coffee. You aren't as good as you think you are.

 

[k2bluesky]

The defenders and midfielders no, as all they have to do is pass the ball to keep him happy but the attackers yes, they don't like his style of play (but obviously can't say so) or his low opinion of most of them and continual threat to bring in yet more attackers, which he unlikely to do as I really don't think there are many other strikers out there would want to play his style, despite the fact loads would love to play for a club like us, now we have a great ground and biggest support in the championship.

 

[Gritt23]

I've seen nothing to suggest that he has "lost the players". That generally seems to happen when a managers position is unsteady, and players are starting to look beyond teh current manager. Gus is going nowhere, so any players who are starting to think they don't want to play for him will be out of this club long before Gus.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

The way some people react, it's as if that is happening week in, week out!

In answer to the original question, I would say no, it's a bad run of form, and it happens football, just like undefeated runs. In a month or two, he could be winning every game, and Manager of the Month Awards.

Only Glen Hoddle

Do you know why Hoddle lost the dressing room at Swindon Because he was asking players, with a tenth of his own talent to do what he could. Then got frustrated when they couldn't do it. He might just have a lot in common with Poyet, which would be the reason he would be the worst possible replacement.

 

[Icy Gull]

Absolutely not but the players have lost confidence, there can be no doubt that they are really trying though. Poyet needs to instil in the players respect rather than fear of the opposition and that starts with him being more positive in his team selection, expecially at home. We seem to be going out worrying about how the opposition will play and not actually taking the game by the scruff of the neck from the kick off. We were painfully slow to get going at Leicester and Blackpool, in fact we didn't really get going at Blackpool at all.
