Interim Manager Discussion - Igor Tudor joined until end of season

[Kandi1977]

Essentially, he needs to get 4 wins from our final 12 games. Three would probably be just about enough, especially if two of those are against Leeds and Forest.

I thought I'd take a punt at making some predictions. Join in if you feel like it...


Arsenal (H) - 1 point
Fulham (A) - 1 point
Crystal Palace (H) - 3 points
Liverpool (A) - 0 points
Forest (H) - 3 points
Sunderland (A) - 0 points
Brighton (H) - 3 points
Wolves (A) - 3 points
Aston Villa (A) - 0 points
Leeds (H) - 1 point
Chelsea (A) - 0 points
Everton (H) - 1 point

The obvious 'heart over head' is Goons at home. Reality says defeat but new manager bounce plus it being them says a draw.

So 15-16 points for me, which means a season end of 44 or 45 points.
Thoughts?

I reckon he’ll get 12 0-0’s.

And I will love it.

Arsenal (H) - NLD
Fulham (A) - mid table, trying for Europe
Crystal Palace (H) - relegation battle
Liverpool (A) - trying top 4
Forest (H) - relegation battle
Sunderland (A) - mid table, trying for Europe
Brighton (H) - mid table, trying for Europe
Wolves (A) - relegated by then?
Aston Villa (A) - trying top 4
Leeds (H) - relegation battle
Chelsea (A) - clams
Everton (H) - mid table, trying for Europe


Ordinarily you'd have a few more teams with nothing to play for padding out these fixtures but the compacted nature of the league means most/all teams have something going on (if you ignore the actual football it's probably the most exciting season for a lifetime tbf) dunno how this will affect things for us but thought it was worth a mention

3 wins and 2 draws would be safe, likely 3 wins alone would be good enough.

I think a lot depends on the start, 3 good results in that first 5 could give the team the confidence to push on, especially if we get a few players back for final 4 games (Kudus, Maddison, Porro).

Would be really good to close off the season on a good run, e.g. 8 or 9 points out of last 12.

I always like your optimism Steff but I find that pathway a bit scary tbh. And fcuking hell it just highlights how utterly reckless the board have been to allow this to drag on to the point where there’s a real danger that we’ll go down. Essentially we’re hoping that the bounce we get from Tudor is as good or better than Forest get from Pereira. I don’t think West Ham will go down, Nuno is a good manager and he’s bedded in there now. Leeds look like they’re up for the fight. I wonder if Palace might be the ones to bail us out.

 

[thfcsteff]

I think a lot depends also on getting a greater tune from Muani, which this guy has a record of having done. Get Xavi, Muani, Tel and Solanke firing and we'll be OK.

It IS an optimistic outlook because frankly, there's no point not having one.

 

[Finney Is Back]

They are below Panama and Canada (as well as obviously Mexico) in the North American rankings. They are 4th in a 3 horse race in their continent.

15th in FIfA rankings though, above all of those you mention.

 

[McFlash]

Have we heard anything about which of the coaching staff are staying or going yet?
I don't know if Tudor is one of those managers who has his own trusted few but we're packed to the rafters with coaches after bringing in everyone Frank wanted, so I'd assume that Igor is just going to have to make do with what's already here?

It’d be utterly brainless from the board to bring him in and not give him what he wants in terms of a coaching team. Not to mention reckless.

If that’s the lads already there, fair enough. If Tudor wants someone else, give it to him.

And that's me being positive.
If we can't beat Palace and Forest at home I'll start to get really worried.
Fingers crossed, etc.

We would go down lol

 

[yiddo37]

We would go down lol

That would give us 38pts, think that would keep us up this year.

Hi, I'm new here.

I don't know much at all about Tudor but at least he's got a bit of time before his first game and with it being Arsenal, it's a bit of a free hit considering our current form and injuries.

While I'm not the biggest fan of a back 3, it does kinda suit our squad.

Hope he does well and I'd guess that it'll probably be Poch in for the summer.

You’re very welcome!

It’ll be Forest, I hope. They might be worse than us.

 

[billyiddo]

They have a good squad of players and have now changed manager - if he gets a reaction out of them (like he did when he first took charge of Wolves) then they'll be well clear

 

[LutonSpurs]

This isn't even official yet. Weird.

 

[monkeybarry]

This isn't even official yet. Weird.

New strategy, he'll just turn up every week, pay his subs, do a bit of shouty pointy from the dug out.....back to Italy for a cappuccino in the morning, see you ya next week boys...

New?!
Hmmmm.
Did you bring a shubbery?

 

[Kandi1977]

I'm just being realistic. This is on par with how we have been performing. Maybe even a little bit better!

 

[parklane1]

Fans on Social media apparently losing their minds over the appointment. The same sort of people that would have acted like this when we appointed Jol if social media was as big back then.

We need to be fully behind the manager and team for the rest of the season. Place needs to be rocking when we walk out against the Goons. Let's not start off this short and possibly brief chapter with negative vibes.

I do agree, sadly we have quite a few supporters who do like a good rant.
