I'm going to make myself really popular by saying stick with Still
The reason I am saying this is that I have absoultely zero confidence in Sport Republic appointing a better manager based on their previous record of managerial appointments
I'm really struggling to work out who is responsible for appointing such a long string of tosh or spaffing massive sums on very average (at best) players
There are only three constants. Kat Liebherr, Dragan Solak and Rasmus Ankersen. I realy can't see Liebherr or Solak having too much involvement in finding managers and players as Solak just puts money in and Liebherr just takes money out so by process of elimination that leaves Ankersen.
Whoever is responsible please just f*** off and go away |  | | |  |

I think Will Stills time is up.
12 Games + pre season is a good time to take a measure of how far we've come. Sadly I have to conclude that the trajectory is downward rather than upward. Results wise certainly as bad as at the start of the season and our gameplay has not improveed considerably,which it needed to.
Issues are :
1. The Managers subsitutions don't appear to make sense a lot of the time.
2. Our best player at the very start of the season was Jay Robinson, who has despite decent form been frozen out since the new signings came on board.
3. Fellows (briefly) and Scienza have improved the team, but without decent Striker to run in and head balls, it was pointless signing them.
4. We still lack the excellent striker you need to get promoted. Armstrong will do a decent job, but he misses too many chances. He's a decent Championship player but not quite what we need. Certainly he needs someone to play off. Archer is another who is just not clinical enough. Shame about Stewart, he looked promising before he got injured (again)
5. Poor signings : Roarslev, D Downs, Azaz.
6. Core of the team from last season and this season that have consistantly shown they are not good enough and need to go : Stephens, Wellington, F Downs, Archer, Harwood Bellis.
7. We need steel in midfield. Suggest we give Aribo another shot as he'll be decent at this level.
8. The jury is out on : Jander, Quarshie. Both show signs of promise, so probably give them some game time, but notnecessarily starting.
We have enough players that play to a decent standard, but they are not being utilised properly and we certainly we don't have a complete team that are capable of getting out of the bottom half. We could be in a relagation battle,whoever comes in.
IN summary we need a very experienced tactical manager who can inspire these players and motivate them. Will Still is none of these things. [Post edited 25 Oct 18:43]

I’ve just listened to this jokers interview saying he had no choice but to sub Scienza for Stephens. No Downs, Aribo then ? Or sticking Quashie in midfield ? This guy is clueless and has to go. The fact he waffles on about xg or we should have won the last 5 games says it all. He’s a fraud. Like Martin Juric and the rest. |  |

In the real world, he would be gone but there is nobody competent available to improve things. Leave the whole useless bloody lot of them just where they are. I know it is a ten year plan but I can see us buying the scraps from the administrators before too long . | |

Spot on
He is another talker not walker
Why not sub Robinson for scienza?
Total BS
Aribo should be in there too
We need to be playing 442 and not changing lineups every week
It’s Deja vu

I’m not defending Still but if he had a decent Championship striker our current position would look a lot different. If you look at the clear cut chances our strikers have missed this season we’d be 14 to 17 points better off if we’d had a proper striker. Apart from the points tally it’s the confidence winning brings. Against Blackburn yesterday you could see the confidence drain out of the team each time Archer and Armstrong spaffed easy chances
Whoever we put in charge unless we finally get a decent striker we’re going nowhere | | | |

I’m afraid that isn't true MattFinish. Its CONCEEDING that is the problem, not lack of scoring!
We have scored 13 goals. But Millwall (14), Stoke (13), Charlton (14), West Brom (12), have all scored about the same as us but they are lying 3rd, 5th, 6th, 11th in the table because they don’t leak goals.
DEFENCE IS KEY and that us where Will effing Still goes wrong: he gets his players to concentrate so hard on getting forward that we inevitably leave ourselves open to the counter and hence we are lying 20th. | | | |

I disagree somewhat with that David, those stats don’t tell the full story. Yes we’re conceding too many goals due stupid mistakes (and the lack of a decent keeper), but if we could take our chances we’d have been out of sight in all 3 games this week and sitting 8 points better off. It’s criminal that we didn’t sign a striker in the summer. |  | | |

I get what you’re saying UlsterBaz, BUT….
1. EVERY league winner, yes scores a shedful, but invariably concedes the least number of goals, whilst every teams that gets relegated always concedes the most;
2. The last two games we scored first, which you would think would instil some confidence in the team but this was well and truly squandered because the defence then made a complete horlicks;
3. All strikers are only flesh and blood and will always be in a positive frame of mind knowing they have a reliable defence behind them, ie, a good defence sets the tone for a winning team, not the other way round; conversely, always having to chase a game leads to uncertainty and lack of confidence in strikers;
4. How come so many of our forwards who fail with us seem to flourish elsewhere? I would suggest that at least some of this is because they move to better set-up teams, especially with the backs and GK. | | | |

Matt makes a very good point. Until we get a proper goalkeeper and centre forward, we will, at best, just muddle along in the bottom half of the table, whether we change the manager or not.
In the January transfer window, we really need someone other than Spors and Ankersen making the decisions. The problem is that in the last window, they did what they set out to do, found a player, Scienza, they can sell for a big profit in the summer. Until team building, rather than player trading, becomes a priority for Sport Republic, results won't improve. [Post edited 26 Oct 12:09]

They do: their next big player sale in the summer. Scienza and possibly Robinson will be next summer's equivalent of Fernandes and Dibling. They've found that attacking midfielders are best for player trading, so they'll buy more of them next summer and repeat. [Post edited 26 Oct 9:45]

Not peanuts on a kid with potential.(Not that we’ve seen any of that.) Serious money on a proven goalscorer. [Post edited 26 Oct 11:56]

It was always said that a decent team starts with a solid foundation at the back, I get that. And Still definitely needs to sort out the stupid defensive errors. However, I’d say that if we were two or three up yesterday (for example), which we should’ve been, we wouldn’t have witnessed that chaotic end to the game. | | | |
