I've just checked back on the the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. I had completely forgotten how it ends. After the child calls out the fact that the emperor is naked, and the crowd slowly but surely wake up to the fact that a giant con is going on and the man they looked up to is deluded, Hans Christian Andersen concludes the story thus:

"The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This procession has got to go on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all."

I think Russell needs PR help - he needs to change his message.

That’s what I would do. I’d probably throw in a few helicopters just for effect.

Did we lose our way once Luke Williams left?

and why didn't Russell appoint an experienced assistant to help him as he remains on the learning curve. There was speculation that Calderwood would join but I assume it fell down?

Fisher starts? Even after such a short time here Sondergaard (is that his name?) must be wondering what has to happen for him to get a chance?

I think the whole first team must be suffering a group delusion.

Martin has explained why, and also hinted if the poor form from fisher then Andreas will get games.
I’m just not that certain he would live down more errors especially against Cardiff.

Team's must do their homework regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the teams they are playing, so if I can see that Fisher is afraid of getting clattered then the teams we play must see it, they just got to get into him subtlety and he'll make mistakes.

They wouldn't do it with Benda cause he'll give as good as he gets.

They haven't got to get into him at all and he'll still make mistakes.

Keith, martin gave his reasons and they make no sense, when a player is in such bad form e can be allowed some time to play through it BUT when that person is the keeper it's a whole different ball game.

Bristol will come here thinking they can win, given our form as a team and our our brilliant knack for conceding really soft goals.

Fisher is a liability.

I’ve been convinced we are watching a tragedy unfold for some time. I wasn’t sure which one it was for a while - thought it might be a version of Hamlet - but I am now 100% convinced it’s the Scottish Play.

“I am in blood
Stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er”

Double down it is then, Russ.

Transfer window, players contracts, players like Patterson getting distracted, players being young, these are all excuses for the players. Swansea deserve more than they get EVERY WEEK.

Conte has had enough of weak mentalities and excuses at soft Spurs.

His system never works.

We win on occasion due to variance. A bad system still wins now and again, it just doesn’t win often.

We would probably win a couple of games by shooting every time we got to the 35 yard ‘line’ too. But it’s an awful system, and on the occasion we would win, it wouldn’t be down to the system ‘working’, it would be the low % chance of winning coming to fruition.

A mathematical inevitability - the broken watch is ‘right’ twice a day scenario.

Fisher is shot. He has no confidence and needs to be benches for his own good. I fear for his mental health.

He is a poor keeper, we know that. A very poor buy by Martin. If he cares about the situation then he should not be in the team tomorrow.
