David Brent

Brian and his staff won’t be rubbing their hands together ahead of this set of fixtures

@David Brent you don't recognise a classic Brent quote? Shame...

Ooh no..see ya later  

It’s rather frustrating that this happens. How many times is that now this season? 

It doesn’t seem right that, after paying for a service, it’s taken away. 

You’ve said in your own post that you don’t want him doing the job he’s employed to do. 

Not many are commenting on his playing abilities as that is completely irrelevant now. 

Most of us have seen and heard enough to suggest that he isn’t up to the job and out of his depth. This frustration is greater due to the competence of his predecessor. 

You can’t have your cake and eat it. They’re benefiting from players loaned to them..you can’t then go and expect reward for giving them game time. 

I’m sure other clubs would happily take their countless loanees instead.

Fewer posts would definitely be better....

 

I thought they are called pillars, not posts.

For me, the most disappointing comment from BT is that Liam is still learning.

How are we in the position where we’ve got a Head Coach, a Technical Director and a Chairman all learning on the job?

Excellent point you make about those three goals coming in 1-0 wins (Cov, Sheff Weds, Swansea), but that’s 9 points (not 6) he's bagged us. Huge contribution, at both ends of the pitch. 

But if he doesn’t score it’s 0-0. We get a point for those

3 of his 5 goals have come in 1-0 wins. Those 6 points are vital. 

Swansea never looked like scoring an equaliser. They were poor but credit where due I guess. 

Brian will be pleased that we’re back to Southampton game levels.

Everyone’s happy.

Anyone daring to look at the as it stands table?

11 points off the playoffs 

Get in!

If this is how we intend to play next season then I’ll pass. Don’t give him time to produce more of this.

I think it’s best we cut our losses and move on. The experiment has failed.

Don't know why people are complaining, our players are following the perfect plan.

Like Liam said, there’s nothing he can do now. All on the players. 

All the way back to O’Leary who kicks it out of play..ad infinitum 

What has he done to this team?

It’s just ‘bleugh’…nothing

He was actually doing wonders there and he probably would have kept them up, if only he’d kept his mouth shut I guess.

seems to be a bit of the old self sabotage in nige, maybe he doesn’t think he’s good enough. Low self esteem is fixable though 

Up there with one of the worst posts I’ve seen in a while. What nonsense.

Isn’t Szmodics top scorer in the Championship, or thereabouts? Nothing wrong with buying him - if only we’d used him properly! 

I agree. Paterson was superior at the time though. We definitely didn’t need Palmer.

Then people would complain we don't hear anything from the leadership of the club

I won’t complain if we don’t hear from Brian Tinnion. There doesn’t need to be anything from him regarding team performance etc.

I think the thing here is the aspect of “real time”. It’s one thing to see, another to react.

Put it this way - we’re told Liam is constantly up until 3am watching videos (no, not those videos). I’d imagine that post Ipswich he watched the game and then what happened on the quadruple sub, and the obvious moves hit him. So, if in “NFL” style he had breaks between play after an opponent changes, he’d probably figure it out.

The issue is that he prepares hugely. But when a change happens, he can’t react - however I’d bet a dime to a dozen he’d be able to tell you exactly what went wrong today.

 

I imagine he’s quite good at developing a game plan and tactics but seems to forget there is another team out there with a plan of their own.

Just doesn’t seem to be able to react. His latest comments even suggest that. If only the opposition did what they’re supposed to. 

To think we sent him out on loan to accommodate Palmer and Szmodics. He was twice the player of both and proved it when we recalled him.

I heard a rumour Tinnion stormed into the dressing room at half time and told them they better start playing terrible boring football or else, then made them watch him take a massive shit (which he subsequently didn't flush)

Sounds more entertaining than our recent football tbf

Tinnion is everywhere isn’t he. In all the shots of celebrations. You would think he’s the owner. 

Does Steve normally get involved in post match celebrations?

Should have kept Fleming on as manager.

Only if he could bring in Nige as his assistant
