Dyche?

[Bosscat]

Makes you realise just how lucky we are at Burnley FC

[RVclaret]

Poor appointment. His 4-4-2 hoofball style was never a fit for their best players like Willock/Chair.

[welsbyswife]

Why do they always sack the manager and not those who appointed the manager. If they have changed their minds after 12 games you have to question the recruitment process in the first place. Football is a ridiculous business. Most Championship clubs are skint but they signed him on a 3 and a half year contract! Presumably will need to pay him off. Madness.

[Dodobdobodobo]

Duffer

[4:20]

Crazy to think we battered them as their manager seat was vacant just over a couple of months ago.

[welsbyswife]

Duffer

He's not daft enough to go there.

[Elbarad]

3 1/2 year deal. They got 1/4 of a year out of him. I wonder what they’ll end up paying him per game managed.

[Swizzlestick]

I dunno, think it’s quite easy to say poor appointment
with hindsight, but he was a highly regarded coach who’d done a fantastic job with Blackpool before he was poached by Gerrard. Were things not starting to go a bit south under Beale? He evidently didn’t believe in the club enough to stay anyway.

[dermotdermot]

Dyche?

It may have escaped your notice, but I think you’ll find that Sean Dyche has recently taken up employment elsewhere.

[Vegas Claret]

I don't think I could support a club that only gave a manager a few months, abject failure at the top level. Fortunately I don't have to

[EarbyClaret]

He was a great fit at Blackpool. The decision to leave to become Gerrard's assistant at Villa seemed strange

Poor appointment by QPR. Assume they have a replacement in mind. Wilder and Nathan Jones both mentioned

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Jones would be an odd appointment after the state of him at Saints

[maccclaret]

Won’t be long before every club will have a Manager of the Month.

[timshorts]

No real surprise. His record in the last 10 or so is worse than Jones at Southampton.

Joey Barton, maybe?

[Marney&Mee]

Had his hand in the ‘demise’ of 3 clubs now in 12 months. He was doing a great job at Blackpool as well

[ClaretTony]

I think they appointed Critchley about an hour after we'd beaten them.

Strange one - was doing a good job at Blackpool and I thought he might be under consideration for us when Dyche was sacked. Then he opted to walk to join Gerrard at Villa to replace Beale who had gone to QPR. Quickly sacked at Villa and now sacked again after a terrible run of results.

[Woodleyclaret]

Lee Hoos working his magic again
QPR are in dissary and looking at a lower mid table finish. Unfortunately, their deluded board think that QPR should be promotion candidates

The table on October 22nd.
Seems like a lifetime ago for fans of many clubs, I'd expect.
I honestly thought Critchley would get them there or thereabouts come January but the bad results just kept on happening.

Les Ferdinand is the director of football at QPR, not Lee Hoos who is on the business side.

Way back when Rovers had a + goal difference

That table is a story in itself of the juxtaposition of fortunes of QPR and Middlesbrough

[ClaretTony]

That table, was it around the time Beale turned down Wolves? They went on a poor run before he did his runner to Rangers. I think the game against us was their one game with a caretaker after Beale and that was the first game after the World Cup.

I think it may have been around the time of Wolves interest. The Burnley game was the first match after the departure of Beale, Paul Hall was caretaker. Our victory meant 4 losses on the spin for QPR, the rot had already started.
Muric was fortunate not to give a way a penalty in the first minute, JBG scored a cracking free kick and Tella almost fell down a big hole to the side of the nets.

There’d have been no call for that penalty though if the assistant had stuck up his flag for offside as he should have done.

Middlesbrough were only 12 points behind us then!

It's a tight one but it's no wonder the linesman kept quiet, his poor positioning here couldn't possibly tell either way.

Looks like Beyer is playing him onside in that photo, looking at the pitch stripe.

[tiger76]

QPR another club who don't appear to have any long-term vision, that said Critchley's record in his brief spell there is shocking.

On that photo maybe but he wasn’t playing him onside

[welsbyswife]

Funny club QPR. It's almost like they still think they are a big London club because they had a few years in the top flight in the 80s and early 90s. The reality is that they are lower end Championship/ League 1 level.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Could this be the job that tempts Ainsworth out of Wycombe

29 points from our first 16 games isn’t a bad haul…… until you look at our next 16 games where we’ve taken 43 from a possible 48 points!

West Brom were 23rd shows just how well Bilic has done to get them into play-off contention.

Boro the equivalent of Forest last season who came from rock bottom to win the play-off's.

Just demonstrates how long a slog the Championship is, and nothing is decided after a 3rd of the season.

[welsbyswife]

Bilic manages Watford!

[tiger76]

Bilic manages Watford!

brain fade I of course meant Corberan.

[Colburn_Claret]

The 4th Championship club, to change their manager for the 2nd time this season.
Complete madness.

What's wrong with the assistant's position in this photo?

[4:20]

What's wrong with the assistant's position in this photo?

The linesman flags for a throw and is behind the defenders, the throw is taken rather quickly and in-between this moment and the midfielder playing the ball through the linesman is running back away from our goal in an effort to get back in position. It's this split second out of position that hinders his ability to accurately judge the line. He then stops and starts to run back towards goal to keep up with the through ball. Easier to see what I mean on the video itself.
I've found a more accurate frame of the moment and I'm still unsure as to whether Beyer is playing the attacker on or not.

[Vegas Claret]

They've gone in for Ainsworth at Wycombe

[Swizzlestick]

Ainsworth confirmed as manager.

[tiger76]

Ainsworth confirmed as manager.

That was announced quickly. makes me wonder if they'd already been in contact with GA before potting Critchley.
