Put a post on the tragedy tweets that should have gone in here.
Callum Robinson is now saying Riza was right in what he done!
I can't believe what I was reading. |

Reading now, although not down the same path as the headline points to, Callum Robinson has now come out and said that Riza was right in what he done in coming onto the pitch and having a go at Franco!!!
Not saying Franco didn't leave one on him but being out of your technical area and going onto the pitch seems to be ok.
I really am at a loss how people's minds are working these days. |

Another winter window shitshow then.

And let's not forget that Coleman has stated the club want to keep away from the loan system.
So in doing this it would just highlight another contradiction that would be stacking up quick for the guy. |

I don't see how that is an example of excusing blame from Williams!
I have used teams without managers as an example.
Let's not use the Williams situation as a blame for the board not signing permanent players and giving them loans as something to hide behind.
Regardless who is in place as manager, the powers at be should have a system in place to be signing players as other clubs clearly have.
It has nothing to do with who the manager is or in some cases even if a manager is in place as I have pointed out.
It's poor organisation. |

I just pictured a toddler stamping his feet shouting
"I AM RIGHT" 🤣🤣🤣
You just know what you are dealing with when someone proclaims they are right! We had years of it with Dr P who was as wrong as you could be with regards of the previous ownership and is now hiding in the outback sharing a toilet with lord Lucan. [Post edited 21 Jan 7:45]

Clubs still sign players permanently even under those circumstances, only need to look at Plymouth and even Wycombe yesterday who signed a player and have no managers in place.
I think the loan scenario would just be a short term fix and would highlight even further the lack of planning and forward thinking in place at the club. |

Don't believe everything you read 😏
Scouting a couple of players to the player they were going to see wasn't playing.

Andy Fisher
Nelson Abbey
Nathan Broome
And now Abdullai
Above were players we having paying wages for since the start of the season. We were still chasing a player or 2 to come in up until the close of the summer window.
There is certainly scope to be bringing in players at this point with the wages freed up and manoeuvre we had even before these boys moved on.
It's a balancing act but one that the club are making look harder than it needs to be. |

Being realistic here.
If he was any good then he wouldn't be dropping down to Orient.
Parker and Ginnelly coming back will push him down the pecking order.
The only downside is that the squad gets weaker in the meantime. |

I think that would be true if we were in the relegation zone or a point or 2 above it.
A lot of summizing is going on presently just as it was when we were in the depths of the WBA scenario. |

There is a few championship clubs who are just flaunting the rules.
We are being careful not to go past the threshold but yet some have gone past it with no action taken even after having recent embargos.
Whole thing is becoming a massive joke especially when a 3rd tier team splashes 15M on a player. |

Seems to be a regular thing with managers since relegation that when January comes that the atmosphere changes.
Remember back to the Potter appointment, 2 weeks after getting the job, Potter and his team were about to walk but were persuaded to stay by Jenkins. |

Don't think he is going anywhere for the moment.
Thankfully I think strengthening a tired and thin squad is going to take priority.
Things can change quickly but a concern with some players carrying knocks and fatigue with some |

Williams flew out this morning with Coleman and 2 others.
In fact they are staying overnight, flying into Bristol in the morning and straight to the training complex from there. |

We need 16 points from 19 games to be sure.
We are currently above a point a game so it's more than doable with the same squad at least. |

Sack the manager or bring In much needed players are the options to try and bring the feel good back.
Ultimately we could lose a manager and not strengthen, meaning slot of our funds goes on paying off and bringing in a manager....taking away from the desperate need to strengthen.
Logically I would look to strengthen and then re visit the managerial situation in the summer. I fear regardless of any improvement, if there is any, too many fans are digging their heels in on the situation. |

Agreed we need players, would be surprised if we got him.
It's like groundhog day all over again though. I fear with the frustration set in already, another window of broken promises after so many promises that they were already working on things wil just deepen the frustration. I think loans are just a short term fix and it frustrated people even further. |

I am in the same boat.
Think we need a major cut from any links with him as it will just be deja vu all over again.
When Williams goes then Sheehan needs to go also.....tors need to be cut with Watson also.
I fear now if Williams turns things around even in the slightest that some will just play on it's being done by others at the club or he is now playing players in their correct positions etc.
I just feel that some posters have too much pride to turn around and say well done to him due to his links with Martin.
I know it can be argued that some won't say he needs to go if it's going bad.....I would cross that bridge if we are in a dog fight rather than where we sit presently in mid table.
Fans have made their minds up,some stronger characters won't go back on it.
Things need sorting to as align fans and getting rid of Williams might be the start that's needed. |
