The Unsworth effect

[Ron Burgundy]

Or maybe we could back the current manager who has only been in charge for 13 games? Crazy, I know.

13 games in after taking over a club on its arse and people wanna see him walk.

We deserve all we get as fans.

David moyes got 11 years Roberto 3years koeman has had 13 prem games,I don't think anyone is enjoying how we are playing but come on give him a chance.

I wonder if the poll will change after sat...

 

[jceverton]

Agreed.

Apparently Dowell isnt doing too well in the u23s at the moment but Kenny, Holgate, Davies, Connolly etc have all stepped up along with him and done well

That Unsworth side was the best performance with happy exciting football being played since Joe Royle was manager...thats what i want to see.

They want to play for him as well.

Dowell's form has dipped because he's disillusioned with Koeman giving him no opportunities. I spoke to Joe Royle several months back and he reckoned Dowell would be playing for full England team within a couple of seasons. I was a bit taken aback to be honest but he really rates him.

 

[ijjysmith]

WTF even is this thread?!

Doubt it Zat, maybe after we play on Sunday.

But im 90% certain your the only person that wants to give the job to Unsworth.

That isn't true

 

[jceverton]

That isn't true

How do you know?

 

[BlueToff]

How do you know?

Because no professional football purposely allows their standards to drop to spite a manager for not picking them.

In fact, that applies to any profession.

If that was Dowell's attitude - to let his standards drop because he hasn't been given a chance in the first team in the first 15 games of Koeman's tenure - then I don't think he's gonna have much hope of making it at the highest level...

I didn't say he'd done it on purpose and to spite Koeman. How the hell you jump to that conclusion I've got no idea. I do know he's disillusioned & I think it affected his form. I'm sure he'll pick back up.

Crossed-wires then...

If he is disillusioned, the best way to overcome that is by putting in his best performances.

I've been impressed when he's played but personally whenever I've seen him never thought "he's ready". Davies and Holgate are the only ones who are first-team level IMO - I think Dowell needs a loan to the Champ though, it'll help.

 

[jceverton]

Okay fair enough. I think he's ready to be honest, even if we just give him some time from the bench. Unsworth reckons he's ready judging from his comments last season and he was talking about 7 or eight of them by end of this season at latest. Bottom line we won't know unless they're given some opportunities.

But have we seen any evidence of a gold pot at the end of this rainbow, seems to me to be pretty colourless ATM.
