Didn’t see the press conference yesterday, any mention on Ferguson being injured or simply
Not featuring due to form?
Well RDZ said yesterday he was injured

Disappointing today we should have won. Getting into Europe again with the players we’ve lost and the injuries was always going to be a very big ask

I find it amusing that you were so anti Potterball but so forgiving of De Zerbi serving up the same fare for half a season :smile:

You are even shifting the blame onto the board rather than the style of football.

Maybe just maybe the De Zerbi training methods have caused a large number of the injuries. Most seem to have happened during training? Just a thought.
RDZ has proved himself give him a decent squad and he will achieve things. No one was complaining with a top six finish and an FA cup semi final.
I presume they trained last season under him without an injury pile up?
It’s as plain as day the midfield is weak this season patched up Baleba has more assists for the opposition than his own team.

I am still not complaining, I am disappointed that the wheels have come off and that we are shit to watch now :shrug:

We go again next season with or without RDZ, I am less enamoured with him than I was when things were going well though so am a bit meh as to whether he’s here next season or not.

While that is true, he has improved considerably in his ability to receive the ball on the half-turn and retain possession. He is using his size and strength to protect the ball better.

Two goalkeeping coaches and three athletic coaches 🙄🙄🙄
So, with De Zerbi included, that's six Italians, one Spanish and three Brits.

I think that is quite a few, but I'm happy to agree that we disagree.

I'm sure though, that we do at least agree with our regard for the moderator Guiness Boy.

I'm agreeing with you. It seems a lot.

Disappointing result. Struggling to see where the next win is coming from. What’s most disappointing is that we played absolutely no part in the goal we scored so I’m not sure the team can take any confidence from that it was a 100% gift.

Going back to Stanley.
He's been here five years. In that time you could count on one hand the decent set pieces.
Very unlike the club to stick with someone where there seems to be absolutely no proof he's doing his job properly.
In fact our set pieces are so bad i would have guessed we simply don't ever work on them in training.
How about we don't sign one random youngster, sack off Stanley and sign the best set piece coach we can.
He’s been at Lancing since 2012

You're just trying to wind me up.
I'm staggered though.
Does anyone here think our set pieces are remotely good enough?
12 years.

The last period I remember getting even slightly excited about set pieces was when we had Duffy because he seemed to be able to actually get on the end of them.

Apart from that? Woeful.

Sorry but I'd love to see your average Englishman go to Italy and master what he has in the time he's been here. Not an issue for me
I’ve done it, not in football obviously, but can’t be much difference, can there? English managers like Hodgson, Venables and Potter have all done it as well.

For someone that has been living and working in England for 18 months, his English is still poor.

I don't think it matters when the squad is made up of Dutchmen, Brazilians, Ivorians, Argentinians, Germans, Polish and Jocks.

Agree so what is RDZ a good coach or a bad coach 🤣
His passing ability needs work I notice other players have to constantly point to where he should pass the ball.
