I'm expecting an almighty reaction Vs Wolves. That'll show us where the players are.

I think fans deserve an explanation of the colossal series of c**k-ups led us to this-and there is plenty of blame for everyone to get a heaping portion.
First, the supposed edict from on high that Nuno adopt a new style. Is this what set him off and caused him to behave like an infant? If this was true and those running the club wanted a brilliant new style, why did we appoint 2 tactically inept managers after Nuno left?
Next, one of the poorest preseasons in memory. Those at the top (choose whomever you want) moved far too slow in the transfer market. No chance the new players were going to have time to bed in. Nuno also, IMO sabotaged the preseason. You simply can't build a team by playing academy lads the entire preseason. People say preseason results don't matter. Bullshit! What did we score? 1 damn goal.
The players' efforts are just not good enough. If we played with half the desire that West Ham did against Burnley, we'd be clear by now. We don't have players with the nous of Summerville and Bowen. If West Ham stay up it will be because of these 2. The last really good performance by this team was against Spurs. They should have been called out for performances like we got against Swansea, Wrexham, Sunderland, Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton x2, and Leeds away. It's not good enough.
For me though, everything started with the chaotic summer that was allowed to drag on out of control. A club coming off a great season and heading into Europe cannot operate like this.

Ask yourself one question though.
EM forgave everything and offered Nuno a new contract right?
So what was it that Nuno then did for EM to have to remove him just a few weeks later?

It's apearing to be a blame games with us supporters and I think it should be a collective from the very top and trickling down through the senior club administrators, various coaches/managers, players and finally the overdemanding pressure from us the fans (including myself) expecting so much more based on last season, we all appear to be blindsided and not progressive in much smaller steps. I have said in the past that I think we will go down although I hope this is not the case, do we know if the club is prepared and have planned for this Sniffer/Red73 and any other members close to the club?

I have been supportive of Dyche etc but the team selection and set up for the Leeds game has reversed my thinking. I've tried to find a rationale for the selection of Morato to handle Calvert Lewin, Abbott to shut down their left wing and Hudson Odoi to provide the ammo instead of the in form Hutchinson. The set up had "surrender" written all over it. I think the only glimmer of hope is the new Italian lad as he looks useful.

This season for me is all about recruitment. Whoever was in charge of that needs sacking.
The recurring theme has been first XI ok, any backups are all terrible. That goes beyond the managers we've had. All beset with same problem
Syrianos is only one I trust tbh.
