Blackburn post match, Roy "we ended the match on a high" thread

I just bit off a big flap of skin that was hanging off my finger. Good times.

I got it jammed against a wall in work, and it sliced down and under, creating said flap, I could open the flap and see all my insides for a good few days, it was quite something. The only reason I kept the flap was in the hope it would heal over the insides of my finger. Now that there is no flap, I feel in danger. I will be forced to use the plaster, a sticky device with a small soft cotton pad which will fasten any gut spillage. How my week has gotten worse.

Thought I would provide a bit of back story

Damning, they've clearly taken a lot of effort with this particular article.

[alunevans]

to all of it, and especially the part about the players! roy is bloody awful, but a lot of our players need to take a long hard look at themselves and move to a real midtable club where they belong...

someone may have beat me to this by now, but they're already at a mid table club

This has to be it.

No bikey, no likey.

Clear signs that supporters are fed up and can't stand the guy anymore. Seen some mimicking signs of '******' and some really pissed off figures in the away end tonight. Surely, he must be told to jog on before the United game.

It was utter vitriol. The obvious Dalglish chant, LFC fans singing "you're getting sacked in the morning", "We want Hodgson out", '**** off Hodgson, **** off Hodgson' and, you'll be delighted to hear, a couple of occasions where Rafa's name was sung - and then very quickly, as you'll be devestated to hear, drowned out by boos from other fans in response.

Who'd take Ancelotti?

Properly backed, i'd take him like a shot.

Things have gone wrong for him around the same time that abramovich stupidly refused to fund the replacement of 5 experienced squad members who left.

just watched the MOTD highlights and just now really realised how bloody poor our defense was. Johnson out of position twice, really hope we soon move him up the field to RM/RW and get another RB. Also Skrtl not looking to good, and in general they could just walk past our players at the back.

[Craig_H]

I've been defending Johnson to the hilt, but he was woeful last night.

I still rate him and i dont think he's as bad as some say, but he needs to be dropped. Kelly can come in.

Once Bodgson is gone though, every player deserves a clean slate - apart from those who have never shown any signs of being good in the last couple of years - so for the smart arses, that rules out konchesky and poulsen.

everyone deserves a second chance for sure, if they can fit in to a new managers ideas/style, but I think we can safely say that we only have about 4-5 players that have really shown they are good enough to be playing for us. The rest have a lot to proove to stay.

I'm afraid it almost looks like an overhaul again again, which will set us back for a bit again. But it might just be what is needed with the current dross of players we have.

Overhaul talk is well over the top.

Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Lucas, Gerrard, Meireles, Kuyt, Cole, Torres are all plenty good enough. We have the bulk of a very good team, just need someone who knows how to utilise them and get the best from them.

There is no need for an overhaul just resonable tactics and maybe one or two quality players in january and a couple more in the summer. Add to that list Maxi and even Insua if he still wants to come back, Kelly is a good back up and we have Shelvey coming through as well.

Hodgson set us back so much with his **** signing and tactics that we need to replace his **** signings, redress team morale plus find the money to improve the squad. We never needed an overhaul at the beginning of the season, a stronger manager would have reinvested the Mascherano money more wisely (or even hung on to him) and we would have kicked on from there. The overhaul was Roy Hodgson; he's completely overhauled us into a mediocre team and we're looking straight at a relegation battle for the rest of the season.

I've checked everwhere this morning and no signs of a PC relating to sacking Bodgson. I still have a horrible gut feeling that he will survive untill the end of the season.
