Sam Allardyce

[hktoffee]

I actually said it today mate that whilst it was still only 1 nil we were still in it, and all it would take was one chance, then we scored!

Obviously well happy with eventually getting a point, but I just think it's weird how some are saying it was a good defensive performance when in total the RS had 26 attempts at goal, embarrassingly for them, only 3 on target.

We did not row over and conceded 3/4 goals which we normally do earlier in the season against the so-called big teams. We stop leaking soft stupid goals in the last 4 matches.

We're starting to like him , aren't we Dave ?

You have to separate the man from some of his actions.

Let's get a it right though: he's a VERY dodgy character.

At 1-1 Sam takes Rooney off for a defender and gets a point.
Martinez would have brought Lookman on, gone for the win and we lose.

Martinez would have been down by three already to be fair.

Yes the idea of Bobby coaxing that performance out of Williams is laughable

He’s a cracking manager and we are lucky to have him. He will also be great in the transfer market. I think he’s starting to suspect he’s found his perfect club. Just the thought of never having to process the fake sound bytes of that appalling Dutch twt is bliss

Everybody in modern day football is dodgy , Dave .........Abramovich , Usmanov , those blokes who own City and United ....KFC who own Liverpool and the Kray twins ...Brothers in arms !

Will gladly take that dirge and get a 1-1 against them smug gets than try and play and lose 4-0.

Exactly.

Two good results and suddenly people expect him to take a team there and attack... look what happened to Arsenal earlier in the season when they tried that. Incredibly naive.

Not my Roberto...*sobs*

Hats off to Allardyce.

Made the changes at HT to stick with his plan and he got the rewards.

It would have been easy to chase that game and get a battering.

This is my favourite type of davek

It's a lot easier commenting positively when you have a manager who respects the club he's working for...

Roberto had signed up for us prior to us talking to Wigan.
They're all the same.

Indeed he is, but surely now is the time to forgive him and hope that he can cleanse his soul. His move to Everton is nothing more than absolution and if we absolve him he can move on and take us all to the promised land.

I'd rather have him than Koeman. He's bearable.

But he does get results

Allardyce is streetwise and sees it on the pitch as it is. He also doesn’t give one about what anyone thinks.

Quite refreshing this. If it’s to be a relatively short interlude, then at least it has the potential to be a very interesting one with a few surprises in our favour too.
