The Sack Race 2023/2024 - new season, new sackings (PL body count: 1)

[mattyD]

Despite the fact we've conceded by far the least amount of goals of all the clubs from 11th to 20th...and 6 less than Spurs. In fact, only Arsenal, City, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton have conceded less than us.

Also, there are only 2 teams that have scored more than Spurs, but only 6 that have conceded more.

There are only 5 teams that have scored less than us though...I'd strongly argue we need to start scoring more, and quickly.

So that statement is totally arse about face...we need to start scoring and Spurs need to stop conceding

Also, apparently we're relatively high for chances created so it does seem that finishing is the issue.... although that depends on what they deem to be an opportunity.

I disagree I think our problem all season has been attacking not defending perhaps a bit more attacking play would help

Is there an 'attacking play' switch that you can turn on and off at will or something?

No but you can set up a team to be more attacking and not play it safe for 75 mins in the hope of snatching something in the last 15 which I believe you already know

What can happen when you lose the dressing room.

Did someone have to tell spurs that richarlison hadn't left already

The hilarious thing is.... Moyes is always the favourite to be the next one sacked.... Then suddenly the odds plummet on a new manager and they are normally sacked within a day or so..... The bookies then post next odds and once again Moyes is favourite

This has been going on for months... Why anyone would bet on Moyes. I never know

There is on Football Manager!

FWIW we're 9th in the league for xG. And have the worst xG to goals scored ratio.

Agreed. He's obviously a Sullivan favourite and will resist letting him go now, to the point he even brought him back again. Sullivan absolutely loves him.

Sullivan got rid of him the first time, it was Gold and Brady who wanted to keep him and then wanted him back.

Sullivan just doesn't want to pay out for another manager or commit a big transfer spend to a new guy, and most managers would demand we sort out our non existent infrastructure.

Noel Gallaghers twisting the knife on Spurs too now..

"Who would go anywhere near Tottenham? No one would. Tottenham are just a farce, you know what I mean?"

Didn't he sign a new contract at the start of the season?

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

^^^^This won't help him

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood will miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury.

The New Zealander, who joined on loan in January, was injured on 11 March but still went on international duty during the break, although he did not play.

Manager Steve Cooper said Forest also have concerns over forwards Brennan Johnson and Andre Ayew, full-back Serge Aurier and midfielder Gustavo Scarpa.

Forest, 16th in the Premier League, host 13th-placed Wolves on Saturday.

"It's just something we have to deal with, we'll put our focus into the players who are available and who are training ready to play the next game and commit to them," Cooper said.

To be fair, not many people would bother going anywhere near a NG gig either anymore.... Having a 'scissor player' on stage - That's a farce if ever I've heard one.

No, you're thinking of him signing his Disability Living Allowance claim form.

That’ll be harsh on Cooper given the job he did to get them up and then had about 400 players signed for him.

I work on Mr Marinakis’s business and trust me, nothing is harsh to him
