This is not on carrick

I think it's only concerning if we know how Carrick is being judged.

If his remit last season was safety, I would expect maybe mid-table/top half this?

This will be strongly linked to the recruitment strategy and how much were willing to spend per season as well.

Be nice if there was some clarity on the remit, or direction of the club. As usual there’s radio silence, but it doesn’t matter when we’ve sold 21000 season tickets.

Sadly Carrick has to take a lot of responsibility. He coaches the team during the week and picks the team.....been lacking on both fronts this season.

Defensively we are a shambles, needs a serious look at. Fry and Lenihan just don't work.

Too early to panic, slate him, call for his head etc but bottom line it's been a bloody awful start.

Transfers - too many loans and Chuba going..... massive ask to replace 6? players with similar quality without spending a fortune and falling foul of FFP.

How can you say that Fry and Lenihan don't work when they were one of the reasons that we did so well last year.

We were performing well under Carrick before Ramsey and Archer came in. The 3 key players we had up until that point who are no longer here were Steffen, Giles and Akpom, so with that in mind, this team isn't that different to the team we had when we initially started winning games under Carrick.

I'm beginning to worry that a big reason for our run of form last season was down to Carrick benefiting from a new manager bounce.

It was a bounce that lasted for about 6 months. Replacing those players with massively inferior players is never going to bring results. If it’s a transition season whilst we adopt a new “model”, then the least they can do is tell the paying public.

Unfortunately if we continue in this manner it will soon be on Carrick. Recruitment has let us down by not bringing in players that are better than or as good as last seasons loan lads. But as the manager you are judged on the results you get with the players you have. How many more defeats do we give him before we realise its time to change tactics?

I don't feel any of our signings are good enough but how do they replace 30 + million worth of talent on a shoestring budget. Impossible task

There’s more to a team than an attack you know. There’s a thing called defending.

We simply don’t do that under Carrick, it needs to improve significantly.

Yup. You can lose all the attacking players you want but defending the way we are is unacceptable under any circumstances, you can't not put tackles in and just watch men drift by, you can't look like conceding from every corner and throw in, that's just the basics.

None of the goals are as a result of us being open or too attacking, we were settled in our shape for 3 of the goals but refused to do the basics, that is on Carrick.

Tell us what exactly? They aren't going to make a statement saying promotion is off the cards are they.

Could be a good time for Gibson to come out and speak to the fans, because if this carries on the fans will soon turn on Carrick.

I can accept this being a transitional season but we need reassuring that this is the actual plan.

Even aside from me not thinking "new manager bounce" isn't even really a thing (see: Dyche, Allardyce, Lampard, Potter, Jones, Selles, Lopetegui, Gracia, Smith last season just in the Premier League) it would have to be the greatest "new manager bounce" of all time to last as long as it did.
