Till we have a strong 25 man squad 4 under 21s capable to play in 1st team when required,a under 21 squad with quality and 18s with promise and finally a manager who gets on with coaching our players rather picking a fight with the 4th official and talks the walk at closing on 76 this jan l might see fulham win something and owners who could take an interest looking back I can only think of bill muddyman hadn't the money but he puts the rest to shame.
What did the Romans ever do for us
Same as last year, the moment to push on Silva **** the bed and went defensive against 16th place, rather than drop a DM, bring ESR into 8, and keep Kevin on following his debut goal.
Silva is out of his depth when it comes to changing for Europe

Yep... I blame Mr Silva for AFCON (having 3 player's away), and our injuries (3/4 first team players).... before today's game we hadn't lost a game in 6...who would you like to replace Mr Silva

AFCON isnt stopping us playing 1 DM instead of 2, I am not a massive Kevin fan but he had just picked up his first goal, he could have started and either Lukic or Berge make way. Lukic went on to get an early yellow for a poor challenge, one he made without even looking for the ball, just turned and guessed, unfortunatley the Leeds player was already on his way, Berge just struggled all day, together they were flat.
Even with AFCON Silva has choices to play a team that is likely to give it a go

To be fair here, Kent didn't say replace Silva! Just that sometimes he bottles it (in other other words) when we could be braver and go for it!
I tend to agree watching some performances!
We've done well without the Nigerians and so Kent is correct in that we could/should have been more confident.

If we were to replace Silva then there are plenty of managers out there, 19 other PL ones for a start. However, this discussion was more about the odd selection from Silva given the opposition we had and the results we have come off the back of
You're saying Mr Silva is out of his depth, but you want to keep him...ok
Quote from: H4usuallysitting on January 18, 2026, 09:45:26 PMYou're saying Mr Silva is out of his depth, but you want to keep him...ok
He certainly is when it comes to pushing on for Europe, we saw it last season and we are seeing it right now. His selection and changes were baffling. If we want a manager who is happy with 10-12th in the table, playing it safe, then Silva is probably a decent choice, and a manager who is capable of going further, I dont think he is the right man, so to your original point, it depends on your expectations, mine are for something better than mid to top of the bottom half

But you don't know the status of the players. Marco said that player selection and substitutions were driven by tiredness and injury issues. He had to work with what he had.

We had ESR and Kevin available, so either DM could make way for them
Silva out of his depth and yet,
he is often being linked in the football world,
with moves to bigger clubs.
why would that be?

One loss and we're back to moaning about our best ever manager. Good stuff.
