WELLENS OUT

Sack him now

[adamtherover]

the mad thing is that we are not a million miles away from safety, shows how poor the rest of the lower division is...

[mushRTID]

I know we’ve been bad this season but this has taken it to a completely new level.

Can’t believe what I’m watching, we look like we’ve got 10 men again!

I think it’s time for a change, we are clueless.

[mattco]

Get rid of Wellens. There is no sign of imprivement. Just what do the team do in training?  Obviously shooting and defending don't seem to figure in his plans,

[Upton Rover]

No excuses no more fed up we people saying
The ref was shite, should have been a pen, it was offside, never a sending off
This manager can’t even get into the team to have a shot on target this is basic football, he’s totally clueless, and I won’t except if in any after match interviews were he will blame everyone other than himself, this is painful move on RW

[acacia94]

Adam? Seriously. We'll be 6 points adrift in about 10 mins and where do you see us getting 6 points from with all around us accumulating zero??
In the last 5 games and a possible 15 points we've got 3.

[BillyStubbsTears]

At our season average rate of accumulating points, we are 9 games from safety...

A miss us as good as Mile !!!

[acacia94]

Thanks Billy – that puts it into even more stark reality.

[Retdon1]

Never thought Idd say this but if we are to have any chance of staying up this season then we have to replace Wellens now. He’s totally out of his depth

[Upton Rover]

1 shot 0 on target embarrassment

[Chris Black come back]

There continue to be lots of mitigating factors, but sweet Jesus this is absolutely terrible. I dare not do this myself but has anyone counted up how many shots on target we have had all season? There is literally like today nothing for anyone to cheer, even when we are losing. This has to be the worst forward line in our history. Even 97/98 did better in front of goal surely?

[normal rules]

37 points now needed from 27 games for 50 points.
The uphill climb just got a bit steeper.

[no eyed deer]

Is it Wellens or a lack of quality that is our downfall. For me the blame lies higher up than him !

[Pside]

He has to go now. No one can watch that and honestly still back him. Hell of a played and I loved him to bits but it’s just not working. There’s no shame in saying that

[Jersey Rover]

We often talk about players stealing a wage well we go one better. The manager and the whole back room staff, some who have been there a long time are stealing it. Manager and coaching clearout required

Keep going on about these shots on target, so would u be happy if we had 10 shots today from 40 yards that trickled Upto the keeper?

Are they the only two options?

[dickos1]

No, but shots on target doesn’t really tell you if you’ve played well or not.
We didn’t today but we had plenty of shots at Gillingham and lost 1-0

come on, it’s basic football that to have any chance of scoring a goal is to have a shot on target, the manager should be doing this in training this is our 6th league game where we have never mustered a shot on target, it’s shocking basic football been fu—— up by a manager who can’t get the best out of a poor squad

[EasyforDennis]

I can understand why so many people want Wellens to go but.......... In all seriousness do you think anybody else could get any more out of this rubbish? TB and DB won't be bothered if we are relegated as long as they don't have to put anymore money into the club and they won't sack RW because it would mean they have to pay his contract up.

[phil old leake]

This thread has saved me starting one

For those of us who can’t get to games can we be enlighten to the problem

Is it the manager who’s not good enough

Is it the tactics

Is it the players not good enough

Is it the players good enough but not playing for Wellens

As someone who is not watching and only reading I get the impression it’s the recruitment was not good enough and the team are awful

The thing I’d like to know is it the players or the management

His excuses seem to be running out

[River Don]

It has long been the club policy to support the manager.

It is a fundamental part of their business plan. I don't expect them to veer from that course now. I don't think there are financial constraints, I just think they want to build stability.

[dickos1]

All you need to do is look at the bench today, that should tell you everything about whether the manager got much support in the summer or not

[phil old leake]

If the team are that bad Why not give some of the young lads a go. At least they’d try

This is an often heard cry from the support. The problem is Rovers are throwing in a lot of youngsters right now and it's too much too soon.

Richie is right in his assesment that we need some older heads.

[phil old leake]

It worked for fergie.

What worked for fergie?
