Still too many has beens and chancers in our squad. Needs another couple of windows to bin them all.

I think we'll be in very good shape by the end of next season. Buckle up in the short term though because some things are going to be messy. Let Silva build something here and take the rough with the smooth. I think he's the right man.

I've possibly forgotten one, but I think we've only won 5 league games in a row once in the 20+ years I've been going, which was in Martinez's first season. I'd have been absolutely astonished if Silva had come in and turned things round to that extent.

We won 7 in a row? 6 of them 1-0 I think. Maybe that was just home games.

You couldn’t make it up, Toff.

So far it looks like much ado about nowt......with quite possibly a piper yet to be paid :(

The reason being put forward by many for our disappointing points return after the first five games is that it is due to continued unavailability, for one reaon or another, of the players he brought in and that he has had to rely on last season’s squad.

And it is certainly true he has had to make do with last year’s failures in the main.

But that begs the question where would we be right now if Watford had allowed us to have him this time last year.

I have yet to be convinced it wasn’t a bullet dodged and we woukd have endured a very anxious winter.

One imagines that if he cannot get a tune out of them now he wouldn’t have back then and whatever else about Sam, that immediate upturn in results lifted us well into the top half and we were never seriously threatened up there, despite the fall off in the latter stages.

You do realise that the teams we have faced this season have improved from last season?

West Ham for example spent vast money in the summer, they have also improved their manager, so Silva would have faced vastly different teams last season.

But none of that matters to you, cos your mind is already made up regarding the manager and nothing will change that view.

Quite sad that you dont have the ability to see things how they should be seen.

The thing is, in the first game against Wolves we had more shots on goal than BFS managed in about 5 games. Also under Allardyce we would never have signed a player like Richarlison or Bernard, we would still have that Tupac wannabe running up and down the wing trying to do stepovers. The football was dire at times and for a team with ambitions to break the top 6 (i know we are not close at the moment) he had to go. Now Silva was not my first choice as manager for a number of reasons, i would have prefered us to go for someone like Ralph Hasenhuttl who had just been released from RB Leipzig but Mosh had made his mind up. But we need to just get behind him and let him do his thing, he had a short pre-season with the players and needs to get everyone fit and a chance to put his philosophy across to the players. These idiots calling for his head already need to take a long hard look at themselves imo.

You have to give the fat mess some due for signing Walcott like.

You mean we have not improved but rather gone backwards?

When fully fit he he has been decent this season and scored goals, but like against West Ham when he did'nt really look properly fit he was'nt really in the game much. He is fine for now, but if Brands comes across a younger version id prefer that tbh.
 
Can't think of any valid excuses for getting fingered at home by an abject bottom of the table pointless West ham but in the long run gotta give him the benefit of the doubt that he can build something long term or there was no point getting him in in the first place. I'm sure he'll set us up
