When is the fun going to start Russ?

One of the dafter things Pep has come out with. He knows full well it is nonsense.

He's a very well paid football manager who knows how it works - with one point from twenty seven the press, pundits and fans are rightly going to question his position. If he doesn't like that he either needs to improve results or find another job.

In no way were we unlucky to lose against Forest. When quoting our own bad luck in games you also have to factor in the bad luck of our opponents.

But as we played most of the game in reverse gear they didn't need to.

Agree - having scored an early goal they were able to stroll through the game comfortably and were confident we'd not go hunting an equaliser. Had we scored they'd have gone up 3 or 4 gears. We didn't hold out against a rampaging, gung-ho City, we weren't so good defensively that they had no answers - we played a less than brave game and held a side that knew they needed to expend very little energy to take the points. Let's not kid ourselves.

That's bravery.

Yes, we were predicted to finish in the relegation spots but some of our fans expected more than one point at this stage after a reasonably easy run of games with some winnable ones. Doesn't make us knob heads, just means we have a different take on it to you which we are entitled to.

Gave Brentford a much harder game than we did even when down to 10 men.

It's another defeat. The rest is not relevant and matters not a jot.

City did the bare minimum and Russ was happy to let them do it.

A narrow defeat is the new win for Russell. Well done.

Why?

Propaganda football as opposed to proper football. It might be enough for some which is fair but I expect more from our manager and coaches.

Which is a big problem.

Two Leicester players gave away free kicks and were booked for shirt tugs far less obvious than the one on Tall Paul - I guess their shirt tugs had consequences even though they were both outside the penalty area. Taylor needs investigating.

Doubt it - not on the money he's earning.

Leicester really struggling against a big man up front - if only Russ had done his homework last week.

Took some comfort from the press conference on hearing that we're good at throw-ins.

How do you know?

Unfortunately we all know what this means - might see him in the New Year at some stage.

Phil Giles was the brains behind Brentford and Rasmus continues to bask in his reflected glory. Rasmus probably made the tea and did a few meaningless excel charts.

Clearly someone who always thinks he knows better than everyone else.

I had an expectation that they would be good for the club. I guess, like many, I was temporarily taken in by the usual bullshit being spouted by Rasmus.

His first job will be the art of defending corners in the final minute although why the existing manager and coaches allowed the conceding of two identical goals is anybody's guess - incompetence springs to mind.
