And now Charles has pulled his hammy.

Surprise surprise. Will Still can fuck off now. This is beyond pathetic.

Azaz was so blatantly pulled back then. No idea how the ref missed that.

But stick with him and we'll improve, yeah?

Archer looks injured, so hopefully he will.

No.

Too much time to think.

Absolutely all over the place.

I wish I had your confidence. I'm not seeing any evidence whatsoever to suggest we're going to improve. Today's performance so far has been as bad as anything served up so far this season.

Did Archer know he was offside before he shot then? Because that's the only possible excuse I can think of for such a pathetic attempt when clean through.

Archer hits a 'shot' straight at a defender. I had almost completely forgotten he was even on the pitch.

And there we go. Immediately nearly conceded after scoring.

Still looked really pissed off that we'd scored. Maybe he knows what comes next.

What an absolute fucking shambles we look. I've seen better organised teams at my local 5 a side centre.

Horrendous touch from Archer.

So Bragg and Oyekunle make the bench, but Aribo and Edozie are both still completely frozen out. I can only assume Welington still isn't totally fit otherwise it's nuts to put Manning back in ahead of him. 3 at the back again, against one of the worst teams we will play this season 🤦 No disrespect to Charles who has been excellent, but on his own in CM? Really? 🤨 What even is that formation? 5-1-3-1? 3-3-2-2? I've genuinely no idea. I really want to like Still and give him more time, but he's really not doing himself any favours with this constant tossed salad approach to team selection.

We created three of those at BC midweek. Armstrong scored one (just) and fluffed another, and Archer just blasted his straight at the keeper.

Have you got a source for that? Not disputing the 5 wins in 50 going back to the start of that PL season, but I can't find anything to confirm that's a record.

You're not wrong. But the really worrying part is that he wasn't even the worst CB in the pitch last night.

There was lots about that game last night to unpick, but for me the most worrying thing he did was swapping out Jander for Downs. We're already light in midfield because of the 3 CBs, and we're chasing the game at 3-1 down, so he decides to give us even less presence in midfield and bring on a 'striker' who is afraid to even challenge for the ball. Absolutely batshit mental decision making, that is.

Sounds like it. Publicly commenting on poor attitude from the players isn't a good look, whichever way you dress it up. He doesn't have any air of authority about him to rein that stuff in. I can't see how he turns this round. I wish him well, but he's the wrong man at the wrong time for us and we need to cut out losses and act now if we're going to salvage this season.

Yes, for sure. But what were you expecting when you clicked on a thread titled Damion Downs? A critique of everyone except him?

The real pisser of it is that they didn't even give me enough time to get my insurance bet on after we scored 😕

Came on tonight and once again had absolutely zero impact on the game. Didn't even get close to winning a ball that came near him. He is genuinely worse than Ali Dia.
