So i maybe over the top and harsh on the players we bought, well forgive me but, has anyone of you who claim progress been watching recent performances? they 're professional footballers, christ they train together every day, match days they perform like they hate the job, and each other.

players arguing between themselves, a goalkeeper who blames all and sundry for his errors, no team spirit. i don't advocate his return but the only one who could get this lot to perform is SA. he can get the best out of deadwood. at least his agricultural style resembled a plan and they had some fight.

and by the way they have now had over twenty games, surely some kind of understanding between players must now exist. i don't expect a miracle just some sort of cohesion and desire. signings from Barcelona don't in themselves guarantee a success. there's a reason why they left, i stand by my comments, we continually bring in poor quality in. if you recruit from relegated sides you get relegation quality, about time some took a reality check. club and supporters alike.

{Ed033's Note - Just think what could have happened if SA had implemented an aggressive style instead of the "agricultural style".

To do that would have meant him having a little faith in the players Ed033 which he clearly didn't.

We would have been a better team under Allerdyce I am certain, his record proves that over many years. Bolton where very good to watch and West Ham where not bad either, but he did a job which was all he was appointed to do not given a chance by directors or fans.
He was paid a lot to keep us in the prem good luck to him.

Nobody said he saved us. He fulfilled his brief though and had us finish a respectable 8th. What position will we finish under Mr Silva, unless he changes tac.

I think people are quick to forget. Big Sam had us playing every game like we have played the last few.
And when he tried to change it (Spurs) it was horrendous.


West Ham were not bad to watch? get yourself over to the West Ham page and use the search, they watched it every week and couldn't wait to see the back of him.
I spend quite a bit of time reading the West Ham pages and i can tell you there is no love on that site for Big Sam.

He is only ever a short term option for anyone and would have taken us sleep walking to 7th/ 8th.
Silva can do the same but with at least some kind of attacking football.
We need to remember that last season we were fighting with Leicester and a freak Burnley for 7th. This season everyone has upped their game and spent some money.
Leicester, West ham, Wolves, Bournemouth and Watford have all come to the party this season. We can still finish 7th, the difference this year is, we will have to fight to get there rather than just out perform one of two teams.
