Worried, I am very, very VERY worried

After what I watched tonight!

I have seen it so many times before over the past 35 years, the manager has lost the support of his players. I watched the game tonight, and as the commentator Paul Jewell said, we had no fight, no spirit and no leadership. They are not playing for the manager anymore.

Big Sam was animated throughout the game, our manager stood without emotion, arms crossed, no motivation, and the team were a reflection of his lack of passion. We are now in serious trouble, Spurs supporters are looking at the fixture list, Blackburn home, Middlesborough away, and thinking tough games, and yet we look at the Arse fixtures, and wonder when they will get a tough game!

I can sympathise with Jol supporters, you haven't known anything better, and he's done ok over the past couple of seasons, but even you will be questioning him tonight. He's lost the plot, lost his players, and only a change of manager will temporarily change our fortunes. We need a manager that is NOT NICE, martin is sadly too nice. We need a manager the players fear and respect. We need a WINNER.

Doesn't matter who you are, where your loyalties lie, we are in deep trouble, and this time our manager doesn't have the ability to get us out of this situation, and this is not the first time he has found himself in this position over the past 3 seasons.

I respect what Jol has done, BUT, he has taken us as far as his ability allows.

Well put. :clap:

A good post loyalyid, and I can understand your frustration with the crap that's happening at the moment.
I am concerned with the attitude of the players, who appear to have 'given up' any pretence of playing for either Jol or the club.
And the schoolboy errors that players are making are incredible.
But worse of all imo, are the comments that MJ makes after every poor performance. 'Lack of leadership', 'Young players' and now last night, 'when we get ALL our players back from injury'.
Sadly, I think the time has come, but who to come in this early in the season? :shrug:

Sorry mate, only quoting a few names mentioned on this site, it can only be Mourhino for me, he's won it all, and we have the money to support him. But, it's all conjecture, as Martin Jol is our manager, for the moment.

But even if Levy agrees to ditch the DOF system and give Mourinho complete control AND can persuade him to join us over all the other hundreds of teams that will want him, he still couldn't take over until next season.

I never much liked Chelsea's football under Jose, but there's no doubting he'd turn us into winners imo.

The board have to take a massive slice of the blame for this - they pulled the rug out from under Jol after 2 fucking games. No idea how many of them were involved and to what extent, but it has hurt us badly.

Sitting in the bottom 3 and reading tenuous links to Robinho - it could almost be the bad old days again
