Anyone could tell you that morato and milenkovic are not defenders for a high line. Spurs had some of the fastest centre backs in the world and they were dog shit at defending under Ange. How on earth is it meant to work with these two.
But that's wasn't even the biggest problem today. It was the complete lack of progressive and attacking football. It was so easy for Sunderland. It was just like watching spurs last season... The exception is he got away with due to the promoted teams being shite. We don't necessarily have that luck this season

1. He isn't unlucky, just ask spurs fans their opinion of him, if he has anymore time he'll do more damage to the team.
2. I'd say personally about two more games, but I have a feeling that the big man will hope that he can turn it around, so from that point of view(big man's ) if we continue the way we are I'd say he will be shown the door by. xmas

I absolutely do. Hope I’m wrong but we are so open iits a joke and puts tremendous strain on players - especially full backs and midfielders to make recovery runs. We’ve had small spells in games where we’ve looked useful but not for sustained periods. So open to the sucker punch.
We are a carbon copy of spurs with arguably a worse squad -
Get Dyche in now…

Personally I don’t think its all his fault but he has inherited half squad that was successful playing an entirely different way and the rest are newbies, some of whom I suspect will never justify their price tag.
For what its worth I reckon Wood Milenkovic Morato and also MGW are all unsuited to how we currently set up. Then the team spirit that carried us last year and also in Coopers first season has been lost.
What worries me most is the sheer number of people who are saying its wrong, heard plenty at the ground today, even people who I regard as sensible comparing it to Mcleish.

1. Don’t blame him for this relegation-form run or where we’re at these days. I blame Nuno and Edu - mainly Nuno. But Ange hasn’t helped himself. Unlucky at the end vs Burnley, unlucky with the decision by the ref today, but overall, it’s not bad luck that’s meant we haven’t won a single match yet under him.
2. How long has he got? If we’re in the bottom 3-6 at Christmas, I’m not sure if he gets the Jan window. There’s too much at stake and too much riding on this season.

I do hope it works. I really do.
But the next 2 months’ fixtures look brutal.

First manager in 80 years at forest not to win a match in his first 5. Not as if we’ve had the hardest fixtures either- 3 of the 5 were in the championship last year. Huge mistake this is. Feel what we had - the togetherness since cooper has been ripped out.

Ange needs time, and he will get it. Its going to take at least 10 games before things even start to settle down.
We had no pre-season (remember all those posts made about not being able to score and not winning in pre-season ?? - or conveniently forgot those posts ??????????????)
Dominguez got subbed at half time and rightly so, he was play acting and got caught out. No excuse.
We have to progress if we want to become a top six side, and that means some pain, without the pain there will be no gain.
The goal for this season is win the Europa League and stable mid table in the PL, whilst changing the style. Then we become much stronger ahead. We should see us finish comfortable mid table by May next year.
Ange has had 5 games now, still going to be another volatile 5 games ahead before things then stabilise and we move forward.

I’m not blaming Ange for the togetherness
