S-Clarke

He was absolutley diabolical today, so I'm not surprised he ran way - probably in shame. He's always been pretty **** tbf.

I think the opinion comes from the fact that since Davis has been influencing the coaching, we have become undeniably ****. He had no prior coaching experience and just slipped into that roll as he was one of the lads. Not denying that he's obviously good to have around the place and is well respected by fans and people at the club, but he has no coaching pedigree - especially not at the top level.

Losing 0-9 just tells me that our squad isn't good enough for this level, that's been the case for the last couple of years really. Relegation is inevenitable without serious, serious, serious investment and movement in this squad - that won't happen, so relegation it is.

Need to get him signed up on a new deal ASAP then, he'll be a regular for us next year.

They could field 6 players and we'd still lose.

To give us any chance, we need a CB (probably two), two midfielders, and a couple of full backs. Get shot of Hoj, get the money in for JWP, get rid of Vesterguard and Bertrand. That's a start. Will that happen though? Nah, we've heard it all before. We wanted a CB in the summer and ended up with a loan quickie job. We simply will not pay the money that is required to get the standard of player we need; thus we will continue to fall further behind. Look at the mid-table clubs in this league - Everton, West Ham, Watford, Wolves etc - paying upwards of £30m for players. We don't even seem to be prepared to go there, so nothing will change if that remains the case. Even Bournemouth have a higher transfer record than us, it's not right.

We're ready to step in when one of the big 4 has a bad season apparently. One of the big 4 in L1?

How could anyone still keep Gunn? He just shipped 9 ****ing goals, he needs to get the **** out of this side for the foreseable. McCarthy didn't ever do anything wrong if we're honest. But apart from that, we're still forced to select **** as that's all we have.

I think he's pretty average, had a couple of good games and has some decentish ability, but he looses his head too quickly and that's seemingly in his makeup. Loan him out to L1 or something, see how he gets on. Shoudln't be in the PL right now.

What went wrong? Shameful recruitment first and foremost. On both players and management. We've sold a lot, generated a lot, but we have also spent that back out again in the main (at least the first year after Koeman). But the way the VVD money was wasted is nothing short of a criminal offence. Let's be honest. Lemina, Boufal, Carrillo, Vesterguard, Hoj, Ings, Armstrong, Bedenerak, Gabbiadini, Pied, Hoedt, Elyounoussi, Gunn. Jury still out on Adams and Mousa. Redmond is ok, but he’s not a world beater. But that's pretty much every signing (bug money, big wages) under the watch of Ross Wilson, and every one of those have offered us a fat zero in most cases. Given that they were replacements for Morgan, VVD, Tadic, Pelle, Mane etc – is it any surprise we’ve struggled? It's just a disaster and I don't know what we do to get out of this.

I imagine he's another one on stupid wages, so we're stuck with just loaning him out for the next few years. I really hope karma bites that stupid scottish midget up the arse soon.

I think Yoshida is a player who has shown heart, leadership and has some character about him - which is what 90% of the rest lack. The main problem with Yoshida is his ability, he's pretty rubbish if we're honest. He went from being a pretty decentish backup CB for us to being one we call out for on a regular basis, that in it's self speaks volumes about the continuous downgrading of our squad.

The first thing they should send out is a ****ing refund.

Yeah, I'm going to ignore this one I think.

If I'm honest, I think it's getting to the stage where it NEEDS to happen. We need some sort of 'flush', although given the amazing work done by our recruitment team re: contracts, that's probably impossible too.

You deserve something! I think you're mad! They didn't deserve any support in that 2nd half, so many left at HT (including myself). Never done that before, but sometimes you just need to make a stand and stop accepting utter ****e.

Exactly this, I hope most people can see this. But it's obviously the quick and easy call to say change a manager. But there is so so so much more wrong here. A broken club.

Urgh.

It's not so much the quality, there is certainly individual quality in the group – but it's the characters in the group. Their personalities, their attitudes, their psych setup - they're all as bad as each other. Not strong enough, not focused enough, too meek, not leaders and unfortunately proven losers. Sooner rather than later the curtain is coming down, we're just delaying the inevitable to be honest. I'd get rid of at least 9 of them and just invest again, well i say invest...not that we will.

Let's be honest, is there anyone who can make JWP or Hoj a leader? or make Vesterguard a defender? I doubt it. So, as has been the case for the last 3-4 years - we can keep changing the manager, and we will see a rinse/repeat process because it's the same ****ing group of loosers.

Let's be honest, is it the managers fault in the grand scheme? No. This is the worst group of players I've ever seen. I'm not talking about pure ability, more so about attitudes, character, leadership. There’s nothing in this group, just a meek mix of utter wimps. I dislike them so much. Hoj can **** off if he's a captain. He's been half the problem since he's been here. I hope he reads this too, and JWP. Meek and characterless, this signifies the entire group. Unfortunately Ralph just hasn't had the backing, anyone can see that. Well done to our horrific ownership.

Absolutely despise this stupid pathetic little man. Get the **** out of my club you utter ****.

I think we're gone. If you lose like that, then you're pretty much condemned in any season. We're dead on our feet with the most dislikeable and meek group of players we’ve ever, ever had. I do believe we’ve got a good manager there, but ultimately; he’s come in at the wrong time and has had absolutely zero backing. I'm not going to bother going through the match, as I left at HT so there's no point. But to lose 9-0 at any level suggests you are not good enough for said level, so I think that's the crux of it. The inevitable has been brewing for the last 3-4 years, and it will probably finally come to roost this year. I maybe naively felt as Ralph kept us up last year, the club would genuinely back someone who is a good manager – but alas, I was wrong. Underinvestment, uninterested owners and horrific scouting have put this club back 10+ years, and to think 4 years ago we were playing in the Europa League. That's a long way from us, and there's a long road back. First thing is to get rid of that utterly pathetic little man from our club, who is supposed to be our owner. Just get him out, by hook or crook. Get someone in who can sort out the utter mess he's created and then we may have something to move towards, but whilst he’s here the club is dying week by week. But as for this season, I think it's done. Hopefully this post is bounced at the end of the season and we can have a good old laugh, but somehow I doubt it.

Felt like a tourist game today, so many randoms in the crowd. Not sure if there were free tickets given out or something. **** game though, rubbish. Hoj again back to his talks a good game but can't deliver mode. Bertrand might as well have been on the bench, he was dreadful. I think we've rushed Redmond back, doesn't look quite there. Gunn needs to be dropped, absolutely awful communication AGAIN. Why can't we just throw Danso in the back 2...? He was supposed to be our 'CB' we waited so long for. I'd throw him in to be honest. Not much else to review, was pretty **** really.

What on earth is going through this dudes brain at the moment? Needs some time out.
