It is no real surprise that we are all feeling frustrated, angry and worried about our club these days, terrible situation been brewing for a while now.
A few questions, will they continue with Re now regardless of results and performances into next season. Will we see lots of new faces, and will they be any good, also will they sell our decent players at rock bottom prices?
Time will tell I guess, then we will see the future of our club and how Shi 2 compares to the previous idiot.
Personally, if we continue to perform poorly in the remaining games I would like to see a new manager in the summer, no idea who, but don’t want to see the dreadful form continue into the start of next season.
Joao Gomes in particular should not be sold below market value as we have done with others in the past.
I would also like to see us with some younger pacy players mixed with some experience, will we stick to 3 at the back, guess this depends on the manager.
Rant over for now, would be nice to have some optimism going into the summer but not likely or so it seems.

You can have all the pacey players you want, but it's no use when the manager sets the team up to play negative, slow football.

Good point GWIL1. Can we find a Nuno 2 who brings optimism and a style of play we understand ??, and, of course, enjoy.

What the manager needs to do is use the pacey players to their full potential. Going into this season, I was possibly more optimistic than at any time since Nuno left. The reason? We had just bought Jackson, and with his blistering pace, we were going back to the days of Nuno, of soaking up the pressure and hitting the opposition on the break, with Jackson and Arias marauding up the wings and getting the crosses into JSL and Tolu, safe in the knowledge that Agbadou was in defence, thwarting the opposition attack, with Joao and Andre controlling midfield.
Somewhere along the line, VP decided that we would sit back and try to out pass the opponents, and it didn't work. Soon, the confidence was drained, and the mistakes set in. We never recovered, and we looked a very sorry, disjointed team, with no idea of how to play.
