We've beat Huddersfield away. Huddersfield. And now people are softening towards having Sam "no trophies in nearly 30 years" Allardyce as a manager. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Ha ha ha ha.

Just go Sam
I think it’s reflective of the context mate. I gave up on anything meaningfully being done this season well before he took over. The only objective after Southampton was survival to be honest, we were poor.
You are right of course, with money spent we should have expected more it was massively poor recuritment. We can’t really lay that at his door though. Interestingly when you look at the last two games it was Walcott and Tosun who were the match winners, see where I’m going with this.
Moyes early years weren’t like his last years mate it took a few seasons before we really cut muster, he was very pragmatic and direct to start.
I agree his aim is results, the performances are secondary at the moment. Not good enough long term, but it has been necessary, I think it’s unfair to say otherwise given the context of relegation. It’s a bit of a luxury to be cringing about performances given what could have happened before he took over, in many ways reflective is success ironically.
I’m not sure on the next appointment mate, if you stay anywhere long enough things come full circle, I hear stuff like a young up and coming manager, who plays attractive football and I think how short our memories are, Roberto Martinez, Koeman, the names I see bandied about are all of this ilk. I have my own ideas but fans tend to go from one spectrum to the other on who they want depending on what they are bored of in the that moment. Very few lessons appear to be learned.
I actually think people place to much emphasis on a manger, tactics, recruiter, coach, man manager, motivator, yes but ultimately he is an enabler. It’s often up to the players in my opinion.

Exactly. No wonder the club has been a laughing stock for years. Pathetic

Was talking about Koeman rather than Unsworth tbh.
Btw i’ve said lots that he’s done the job asked of him, no complaints with it. I think Koeman would have had us in the same position though.

They aren’t playing for him, come on. That wasn’t a big effort today. We were crap, we defended most of the day, most didn’t play hard, Huddersfield were just really bad.
Sam set us up for a draw. Seriously.
Beating the bottom feeders of the league, which he’s gotten to play much of because he missed the tough part of our schedule, isn’t some great accomplishment.
He has to go and not just for his arrogance.
He was 2 points out of 9th when he took over and has had an easy schedule without Europe or Cups.

Regardless of job done his position is untenable given the relationship between him and the fans he certainly hasn’t helped his cause with comments to the media so I have no sympathy there.
Results have been ok given the circumstances. But realistically we struggle to create CCC’s, players work rate is poor, motivation and confidence is in the gutter and the footy is utter turgid. 1ish shots on target is not good enough and we have been quite lucky with a few games as far as goals go. People berate Moyes for being similar and yes we had some god awful performances but we definitely played better under Moyes then with lard ass.
In all honesty I’m quite disappointed with BSA he had a chance to really put his marker down. Don’t expect him to change his ethos but be more expressive and have some ambition instead he treated us like a treadmill. Going off at fans, refusal to take ownership, stubbornness to not try new things, refusal to play younger players and just wasting our time. He has no right to complain he done this to him self bigger clubs have bigger expectations that’s a part of football.

Do people think players have improved in there commitment and attitude under him?
was just thinking quite a few seem to have kicked on under him in comparison to how they had been performing befor he arrived.
I can only think of Rooney who has regressed.

We can win 2 points a game average against the bottom 10 teams, if we routinely get either smashed embarrassingly or play like we are terrified to even go forward against a top six side who cares
