Is Vitor Pereira A Good Manager Or Should He Go?

[Haggstone]

No one is keeping this squad up, we have too many players that are simply not good enough. We may as well avoid the costs associated with sacking him and sort things out in the summer.

This is absolutely not how I felt last season or the time before that when we somehow escaped relegation. We had quality still then. Now we don't.

I don’t want this to be right. I want someone to come in and drag us up by the boot straps. Based on what I’ve watched to date though, it rings sadly true.

We can't just sit there and do nothing while we lose every single week though. No one does that.

He will get sacked.

Without wanting to go completely doom and gloom we've backed ourselves into a corner of which changing the manager isn't going to change all that much.

1) We get somebody in who can galvanise the squad and we somehow stay up, but all we do is end up in the same position next November. Fuck that.

2) We get somebody in who makes a fist of it but due to the gaps in quality within the squad we fall short and end up relegated.

3) We fuck up the decision making and go down humiliated. Either delay getting rid of Vitor impacting any new manager or don't have a plan for his replacement. Knowing Shi, both of these.

So depressing isn’t it

Games are decided by increasingly fine margins. Organisation is becoming more important than individual skill levels. Our squad is most definitely good enough to survive. Leeds and Sunderland beat us because they were better organised, not because they had inherently better players.
So I cannot agree that we are not good enough to stay up. However, and it really hurts me to say it, I do agree that VP is not the manager/coach to keep us in the prem.

Vitor seems like the kind of manager that can lift players and create belief. It worked when he was first appointed.

Tactically some of the decisions are difficult to understand from a fans point of view.

Key problem is how late we did our summer transfer business. The pre-season friendlies showed that the team were going to struggle in the league. It will take Vitor time to settle into a rhythm, be clear on who his best 11 are and what formation and roles they can play to the level needed in the Prem.

Time is against us but I think he will turn it around and we'll scrape by for another season.

I hope you're right.

For me it's not lack of organisation that's the real issue, we have looked competive enough for spells in games. We were the better team against Spurs for example, who were fucking rubbish admitedly, we never looked like conceeding, but we did eventually of course. But even the goal we scored against them was scruffy. No actual quality involved. That's the issue, we aren't scoring enough goals, we don't look like a team that is likely to score enough goals. We get into the final third and.... nothing. That's the issue.

Too early to judge but a loss or draw on sunday would definately be the final straw.

Come on now, that's absurd.
