He probably could have chosen his words a little better in retrospect.
Pep Clotet spoke to the press ahead of tonight’s game with Middlesbrough, and there was certainly a lot to talk about.
And there was one topic in particular that got a lot of fans talking. Clotet was keen to talk about the ambition that the people at the club have, and how he isn’t worried about how things have gone so far:
“Some of the most ambitious people in this Club are in that dressing room, we know we’re on the right track & have three more points than this time last season, the lads have not lost confidence, we are not happy from the last few games, we feel we deserved more.”
Let’s just say that Blues fans weren’t too impressed with what they heard as they tore into Clotet for his comments. They pointed to his words after the Wigan game, with many of them believing that if he thinks a draw away to the Latics is acceptable, then their views on ‘ambition’ seem rather fair apart.
On the right track????? Are you joking?????? Each game is worse than the last…..

Too ambitious to even take a shot on target?

Pep Clotet is either deluded or stupid I can’t decide which. The other evening was diabolical yet he saw something positive. No shots on target and could not pass wind never mind the ball. You don’t rely on luck. Tactics & skill is needed but not on show last 3 games #BCFC

I think he needs to win sooner rather than later, not just to get some points on the board, but to get more of the fans on his side.
