Footballs a funny game, we’ve literally been essentially told he’s got 5 games to turn it around. If we win those 5 everyone will be saying great decision. I don’t really understand why you’d now go and continue to sing his footballs shit etc. at least try to make it work ffs
It’s communication we’ve been absolutely dying for, for years. You may not agree with it. What we now have to do is get behind the team and try turning it round. If we give them our full, unwavering, support for the next 5 games and it’s still gash then he’ll be gone.
@jakemcguinness@mindless_38@BristolCityFM Across a season you’d rather give up those long shots and have the chances twine created. That’s the point that it hasn’t fallen Skubalas way….
@jakemcguinness@mindless_38@BristolCityFM Bolton, Blackburn and Sheffield United have all scored highly unlikely goals in literally the last 6 weeks fella. As others have aluded to, if you can’t understand the difference between those 3 long shot having 0.08xG and twine missing an xG of >0.6 yesterday then that’s on you
@KieranIngram15 You’ve never heard of a caretaker manager? I catch up with their highlights and they score some lovely goals. Ideally he wouldn’t even manage a game but he’d give us some direction during the international break while we look for a permanent coach
If the club has any bollocks they’ll put Louis Carey in charge for the next couple of weeks. Stop every single one of those players jetting off on their holidays over the international break and have them running laps at 6am tomorrow morning.
@KieranIngram15 Yeah to be fair Louis Carey, club record appearance holder and current under 21’s coach who has them playing some absolutely lovely football would absolutely in no way, shape or form be an acceptable 2-week appointment to shove a rocket up their arse. Silly me!
@EuanBCFC_@ihatetikitaka There is something wholly unenjoyable and unsettling about Ashton gate in daytime, we could be going to face Ashton & Backwell and I wouldn’t fancy us, I can feel the slow paced, boring, ‘scared’ performance from here ffs
@EuanBCFC_@ihatetikitaka It needs a complete shakeup. I don’t have the answers but ‘home fans in the ateyo’ clearly isn’t one. Granted what’s occurring on the pitch is like 70% of it but 1-0 up against wolves during an evening kick off with the fireworks etc, that should’ve created at least something.
@Haresey66 I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Fans realised we were going through a transition phase with Pearson. That wasn’t a results test - that was an eye test. Granted there were very rocky periods under him but for the most part people saw the vision irrespective of scorelines.
My thoughts. Ultimately, Skubalas downfall is that he hasn’t won the ‘eye test’. After the first half today we were in the play off spots on the xG table. Now, people can laugh all they want about that but it is the most basic statistic on chances created & ability to limit…
@plod1956 They refine already existing statistics though. 5 shots on target from 35 yards ≠ 1 shot on target from 6 yards out. If you looked at shots on target in the first half today Norwich scored their only one, which, by every metric, was a much harder chance than twines?
@Freddie_A16@BristolCityFM https://t.co/Tzh6MfQfr2 5 seconds of research would’ve helped. Myself and FM have disagreed, massively, this season. I’m sure he’ll attest to what I’m about to say too, if you see the criticism he threw at SL, BT and JL you’d know he’s anything other than a happy clapper.
Shame.
Fine with changing the gaffer now, it's too toxic to survive it.
But these players cannot keep getting away with it. Cowards. We don't have a good side.
So yeah, time to go. But, the anger should be directed at these fucking pussies beyond this point. It's more than a manager, Dickie, Tanner and Knight can never be forgiven.
Get Gilesphy gone now too.
@jamiepersonaI If we still had Vitek, Anis (?) and had scored even 3/4 goals when we’d accumulated a large xG (Lincoln, Blackburn, saints, Norwich 1st half) it would be a massively different conversation which is why I feel bad for him.
Football is cut throat and there’s more than meets the eye, all 5 or 6 phases never lined up. I genuinely do think that with the right club & resources he will probably get a club promoted in his career into the prem. I do wish him well, but sorry skubs - your time is up.
To that extent the players he’s signed & those already here have massively let him down. He inherited a mess, wasn’t able to turn it around quick enough and will lose his job as a result. There’s other factors at play too, he’s being (unfairly) assessed on 10 years of apathy too.
