'Perhaps not the best football game' - quite! Looks tired, beaten down, and out of ideas. Has he taken this squad as far as he can? Whether we sink or not, I guess he'll be weighing up his options, and no doubt the club will be too. [Post edited 5 Apr 17:53]

I know the groupthink on here is that Cifuentes is wonderful and he’s not to blame for hardly anything but he’s been average at best this season after doing so well last season. Terrible start to the season especially at home and now a terrible end to the season especially away.
Assuming we don’t somehow get relegated next month then I’d say the chances of him being here next season is high as it’s very unlikely any ‘better’ teams are going to pay a release fee to employ him. Doubt he’d resign and doubt we’d sack him either unless we go down. |
At the risk of triggering you, the decision on ‘better’ clubs is going to include numerous factors, not just league position. Cifuentes, like all football managers has a level of arrogance/confidence that he can improve a squad if they’re playing his system and he has options that can play that way. |  | | |

I hope he can turn it around in a season riddled with injuries. In some ways, he's done a decent job to get us to where we are but there are some things I find irritating...
Every throw in in near the penalty box is given to Smyth to put in a weak long throw to Dunne. Worked for a while but not anymore. Please try something new!
Same with goal kicks out to Dunne on the touchline. Yawn!
Free kicks and corners are all the same. Let's try something different.
All our play goes down the wing - zero down the middle. I can't recall getting so few free kicks around the box - even then we show no ingenuity when we do get one - we just aim at Dunne in the box.
There is more to just playing a pressing game - high time we came up with some new ideas. Other teams have cottoned on to what we do. It is also getting very boring. Hopefully MC can change things but if not, get someone new in.
How did Hull let Liam Rosenoir go? The best attacking team I saw in the Championship last year IMO | | | |

Haha you don’t ‘trigger’ me.
You keep posting your dodgy ‘inside knowledge’ and people will challenge and respond however they wish to. You rarely back anything up anyhow. |  | | |

But at the same time he loves to demand others (me especially) play the role of manager etc., as if one can't critique anything/anyone unless one can do the job oneself. Tedious timewaster and wind-up merchant. | |

That's where I am now. I love him and really thought we'd be pushing for the play-offs this season but do wonder if he's just not pragmatic enough for this league. Warnock had Adel and Faurlin but he also had Shaun Derry and Clint Hill. |
Pushing for the play offs? There was zero chance of that happening with the ‘strikers’ we started the season with…. This season was always going to be a relegation fight. Again. Cifuentes will have performed a miracle if he keeps this utterly shit squad in the Championship. |  |

People looking at the shower of sh*t squad we have and what Marti has to field... and putting the blame on Marti is mind boggling. Even Pep couldnt polish this turd.
He singlehandedly saved us last season, and imo he's saved us this season as this squad (especially with injuries) shouldn't be anywhere above 22nd in the league. | | | |

But it's been like this, or worse, for all bar, what?, a purple patch of 10 games or so when we punched above our weight. We've mostly been sub-par regardless of injuries. |
We were sub-par at the start of the season but we had injuries to Chair and Frey meaning players were chucked in the deep end like Celar despite the transfer strategy of brining in players from abroad meaning that they would probably benefit from a slower bedding in. We had so many CB's injured at one point we had Santos at RB to release Dunne then Field in CB Saito and Ashby as LB! We started to improve in late November when Celar in particular started to bed in and players returned from injury, so I think it's fair to say injuries have been a big part of this season. |  | | |

Well before this season started I think a fair number of people were looking at Celar as our newly acquired striker who if things broke well could easily hit 10-15 goals. |  | | |

Surely "pragmatic " is what he is doing has massive injury problems not thr best players a damaged team confidence ect he is resorting to pragmatic solutions hence long throw to Dunn playing Anderson who was terrible ( had hopes for him) not loosing to Cardiff was important even though they are a poor side. You have to give a manager like MC a chance. Not a injury plagued season on a small budget. Get through this one and let's see how we go better I think. | | | |

He needs to scrap the false number nine plan though, That has to go, even if it's a case of sticking Vaughan from the Devt Squad up there. It cost us 6 points, in my opinion. | | | |
