I just don't see our style of play. It ain't possession based, but we keep going sideways and back all the time. No one goes in the whole and gets the ball to turn and go or pass forward. It seems like long ball stuff, but upto Armstrong who is knee hight to a grasshopper makes no sense. We just giving possession away.

For me Re has to go now. Burnley looked a far better side than us in that 2nd half. I know Re inherited a poor side, but he has not made an ounce of difference to them. No point sacking vp really, even though he was poor in the end. I'm in the Edwards out camp now definitely.

I do know what you mean, Simon, yesterday's game should have been a wake up call for peeps. Burnley have the cheapest team in the Prem, they are currently being run by an interim manager who has only ever previously held down a coaching role. And how did Rob get on against this club in absolute disarray? We drew, whilst trying to contain them and only managing a frankly pathetic 29.6% possession! People can say what they want about the squad he's been given, but not even managing 30% possession against a team that will do well to make the play-offs next season, despite having a team worth far more (currently), is and should be very telling about Rob's tactics (or lack thereof)! And let's be honest here, it's not just yesterday, seriously take a look at our possession stats under him, it's rarely over 30% regardless of who we play.

That, I'm afraid, has nothing to do with the players at his disposal, and everything to do with a system that seems entirely disjointed and lacking in any genuine tactical possession or build up play. Like everyone else I wanted Rob to be the answer, I really did, but as you have quite rightly pointed out, Simon, yesterday's performance of getting played off the park by a poor squad and an interim manager sadly reflects Rob's current managerial abilities or lack thereof. ?

Yesterday was a prime example. 30% possession against the next worst team in the league is not acceptable. Irrelevant of the current players, we have no pattern of play, no intensity, nothing. Nice guy he may be, but he's got to go, simple as that.
