After another woeful loss I think we need to go back to basics. I believe football has become one big job club full of total nonsense. I would stop the following:
1. Wearing silly vests recording nonsense data the only data that matters is scoring goals and winning games
2. Cut out the complex warm ups with mini games before the match
it's all total bollards how much worse would we be if we didn't bother
3. At set pieces put our biggest player marking there biggest player and our next biggest player marking there next biggest player etc etc
4. Up front play a target man with our best finisher playing off him and our best crosser on the wing. Although they are testing everyone's sanity I would go Tolu, Armstrong and Mane.
5. Make them eat pie chips and beans for lunch everyday. Steaks on matchday give them energy.
6. Practice taking free kicks and corners over and over again to make sure we can clear the man at the near post and bring in fines for anyone who cannot complete this simple task which we fail at time and time again
7. Bring back the Liquidator.
8. Limit personnel on bench to manager, coach and physio
We can then save money on goal keeping coaches, set piece coaches, nutritionalists, data analysists etc etc
It seems far too comfy for everyone behind the scenes we need someone like Jim Ratcliffe to come in and kick some arse.
Enough is enough I'm sick of this we are an embarrassment!

The nonsense vests, as you call them, do more than just measure stats; they can detect if there are issues with the heart, breathing, etc., too and could save lives.

I don't think Rob would have taken the job if he didn't think he had a good chance of keeping us up. After all, he had time on his side and about 70 points to play for. We had flirted with relegation for a few seasons, only to finish comfortably in the end, so the precedent was there. Yes, with hindsight, the summer transfer window was poor, but Rob took over with his eyes open and with a painful parting from Boro.
Again, we had fresh hope with Nathan appointed in December, with a promise to fix things, and still time and a transfer window to come. I can't understand how Vitor Pereira, Rob Edwards, and Nathan Shi failed one after another this season. If they couldn't crack it, it must be the players.

Well, he has said we're 'struggling' in the final third.
Personally, I don't think we're that great in the other 2/3rds.
Results over the season don't lie.
