This is potentially an opportunity for him. I mean he did play a big part in bringing a lot of these players in, so he should have some kind of idea how they can be used. I'd still like someone else in on a permanent basis, but I'm happy with him for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Unfortunately he had to go. Once the dust settles he'll realise it was also for the best health wise for him, He was down, broken and clearly distressed in that last interview. Take a break DU repair yourself and find yourself a backseat coaching role somewhere or leave football for good. I think he was a decent bloke and took and tried the wrong job for him. Frank and the board must also repair themselves because have no doubt, they've took a beating so far this season. I wont be there Tuesday (working away all this week), I hope the side get great backing from the stands their confidence will be rock bottom. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Support will undoubtedly play a large part on Tuesday as Thompson will not be able to turn it around with a day or two of training..or even a week's worth. I'm stating the bleedin' obvious. I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. l really don't see why not. just take the handbrake off and emphasize as much for a couple of days then shout it at them pre match with some buzz words about aggression passion passing and getting some shots off. total free month for the boss here, can't lose even if they lose, as long as they lost doing all the above. he can become a legend.

Hemel latic Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 There is a chance the handbrake will come off tomorrow, equally of course there may be more of the same. However I was struck on Saturday by how flat the players looked during the warm up, I don't recall any smiles or laughter, the only players that looked like they were having fun were the subs who were just d1cking around. I didn't want to read too much into it, easy to misread, but with hindsight... Hopefully the mood will have lifted with the manager's departure and although it's a time of uncertainty for the players as well as the fans we will get a better performance tomorrow. Can't be worse!

There is no hiding place for these players now, they appear to have got their wish with the manager losing his job, time for them to shape up and starting showing the talent and desire many believe them to possess.

oafc1955 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 We’ll certainly find out over the next few weeks how much was actually down to Unsworth and how much was down to the players. Unsworth was ultimately responsible because he will have no doubt been involved in the recruitment process, however, It may turn out that we have a squad of players who are not quite as good as we thought! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Unsworth must be totally embarrassed if he’s watched those two games. It wasn’t rocket science and we could all see exactly what was needed. His stubbornness and arrogance has probably prevented him ever getting another job in football…what an absolute idiot!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit I thought it was a fair comment and factual, not abusive. I think 99% would agree Unsworth's intentions were honest, he just wasn't up to the job. Edit: And if he can't learn in 12 months I think its fair to call him an idiot. Edited September 25, 2023 by redlion add comment 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 idiot is defo offensive, however you want to dress it up. the point is almost valid but ruined at the end. if it said that what Unsworth did was idiotic then it would have a salient post. as it stands it just looks a bit like kicking a man on the floor, as Bob says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the OED IDIOT: Frequently derogatory. A person who speaks or acts in what the speaker considers an irrational way, or with extreme stupidity or foolishness. So, while it is derogatory, it is not necessarily offensive. It can be argued that Unsworth did act irrationally, stupidly and foolishly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
