Carrick out

Agree, Doak will definitely be elsewhere. We’ll always be able to attract 2 or 3 decent prem loan signings though.

If Hackney, Rav, Morris go, it’ll be on our terms. We’ll make a tidy profit and reinvest. That’s the model, like it or not.

We’re not a huge club, we have been in the championship for years and we’re in an unfashionable area of the country. We’ve done well attracting players like Rav in the first place. We have to accept that good players will outgrow us.

Those three players cost us less than 4m. If they’re sold it’ll be for 45m+ we’ll reinvest 35-40m of that on 7 or 8 players and our squad quality value and depth increases. That’s the model. Our squad value is twice what it was four years ago. Give it another two seasons in this division I think it’ll double again. It’ll have the depth of quality that the relegated prem sides have.

I'm pretty sure they did an internal review into the injury situation at the end of last season. They clearly thought it was enough of an issue to at least investigate.

Coaching and training staff need to manage their players in a way to reduce injuries. Are they pushing them too hard on training and are they fatigued or are they not pushing them hard enough. We have seen multiple players this season get injuries in training (Gilbert, Clarke, RVDB).

They did but the coaches aren’t responsible for injuries.

Smith
RVDB
Lenihan
Engel
Bangura
Forss
Gilbert
Doak?
Dieng?

Fry back on the bench, Howson back in contention, McGree is back in the mix.

We seem to have had around 11 players injured.. which has to have some effect on the rest of the players.

Clarke, Dijksteel, Smith & Howson are out of contract this summer. Edmunson & Doak on loan.

Soon starts to look pretty tight.

OK so you are of the opinion that changing managers is always a good thing. Can I also say that we have not progressed as a club since Southgate took us down in 2009 and we have changed the manager six times. Consistency is what we need and if it means being patient with a manager who is working out how to find the right solution to our problems then we must stick with him. I only advocate changing manager when I see players not playing for the manager and I don’t see that at the moment.

Just three points from the play-offs and considering sacking the manager is in my opinion ludicrous.

Looking more ludicrous after this week.

Can be right and wrong

We all laugh and cry together following the Boro, no matter our own opinions

Exactly.

I don't think fans are bad people for panicking.

It's the "great if we win, rubbish when we lose" group that amuses me.

It's like they only watch the goals and look at the table
 
They say usually about 15 games is the point where you start to judge whether you’ve had a good start to the season.
We’ve had a good start, we’re going in the right direction and Carrick is undoubtedly doing a good job. In my opinion.
 
Good news this week Coventry sack their manager and we keep ours.

Some of our fans are totally clueless. Last week I had to listen to people at the ground saying that Carrick’s brother was useless and that Woodgate needed to go and that Carrick only has a plan A.

Thankfully I can avoid listening to this nonsense at least for a couple of weeks.

Clarke was partially at fault for the goal today and I would argue that @Block21 (who is his biggest supporter on here) would even say he's not producing the levels he did last season.
 
The ups and downs of football eh?

As it stands it’s ok
If we make the play offs - great
