The Lower League Thread

Blackburn vs. Brighton tomorrow. A game with draw written all over it.

Do you think Berg's doing the managing, or is Singh pulling the strings behind the scenes, dictating team selection and tactics? Because I can't see the side you've got struggling for any other reason. I honestly reckon Berg could be canny enough, but his hands may be tied.

It seems like a mixture. Berg can't be an amazing manager but it's like... I don't know it doesn't seem like he's been given much control. The tricky thing is, if he leaves now or is fired for whatever reason, then who's going to want that job? Even if it's not Venkys fault that the team isn't performing now (which I doubt) then it's still going to look like they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Did Brighton not play today btw?

Berg's having a nightmare. Think he'll be gone soon, whether it be a sacking or him resigning. If he resigned he'd still leave with his reputation intact and all blame would be attatched to the f*ck ups in Pune. And Shebby. Which it should be. It's been just over two years since they sacked Big Sam, it's been an absolutely minging two years.

Aye the Forest one is quite baffling. They may have been underperforming slightly given their status as promotion favourites but they're one point off the play offs. Seems incredibly harsh, not least if they want Roy Keane given his time as Ipswich gaffer.

The Berg one is only surprising given the length of time, as under him Blackburn seem to have been falling off a cliff. But surely you'd give someone more faith than booting them out after just 57 days.
