Sage in or out

[Teddy Eagle]

I suppose he simply does what he's told - like put all the training equipment out and put it away again afterwards 😉

Did he have to get his badges for the job?

 

[NEILLO]

What is McCarthy's role? He was a defender, we are leaking goals every game, you think he might try and organise, rather than blow smoke up sage's ar*e.

Sage didn't employ Paddy, he inherited him.

Nobody knows what his exact role is but you're out of order with that comment.

Paddy has a UEFA ' A ' coaching qualification

Surely we have all seen that Sage isn’t up to the job. Pretty sure I could see that in the pre season friendly’s - Bromley away being an example and then the Italian tour. Every week I’m thinking he will get replaced after this match. Other than the Leeds away we have been atrocious. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not for sacking just because of results. We are a mess on the pitch and it appears we might be off it. Disasi being the latest example on Thursday?

Yes but as he's listed a First Team coach isn't it reasonable to assume he has responsibility for the defence?

It's reasonable but within context.

The tactics and set up belong to Sage, nobody else. And that's what isn't working.

Not trying to attribute individual blame to a collective enterprise but surely it isn't a tactic to leave anyone around back post unmarked.

It beggars belief that something that basic keeps occuring !

Ah but the player the dastardly opponents block was supposed to be looking to protect the back post from his zonal position., but the opposition players wouldn't let him - Boo hoo - not fair!

And old teammate of mine , all 5’8” of him, was allocated the job of blocking Mickey Droy from corners ! 🤣

Tough gig. Like a Lamptey/Crouch match up.

Robert de Niro is the new manager?

Well perhaps McCarthy should be shown the door and a coach that can organise a defence, be employed instead.

I don’t think Paddy is the defensive coach. Whenever, we are defending a set piece, Sage walks back to dug out and a fella comes out and takes the lead in organising (zonal marking) the defence. If we are not picking the ball out of the back of the net, they swop roles again. I watched this again on Thursday night (he’s quite animated with his approach) but I’m not sure who this coach is - my eyesight is not as good as it was!!!
Whoever it is, it’s not working.

My position remains that much as I want him to succeed I don’t think he will. Very happy to be proven wrong ( something I’m well acquainted with ! ).

I read earlier that Parish missed the Hoffenheim game as he was in New York. Read into that what you will….

He was ordering a few boxes of Palace emblazoned Q tips.

If you get closer you can see that coach has long shoes, spotty trousers, a wig and a red nose. His name is “clown show”

Watching Hull perform at Arsenal I doubt we can beat them playing the way we are. They look good solid unit. Everything we don't.

Don't know. He wasn't talking to me.

Forest currently winning and Sunderland could well spring a surprise at home and beat Chelsea,leaving us BOTTOM of the league.

Is that enough to show SP,that Sage has got to go.

May already be too late to avoid the drop.with our very weak and underperforming squad.

2-0 Forest now
