I’ve mellowed a lot in recent seasons and can generally take a pragmatic ‘oh well, it’s only a game’ view when it doesn’t go our way. But FUCKSAKE that has annoyed me tonight.

Wouldn’t have been that bothered by a narrow defeat 2-0 or something as long as we looked competitive but to lay down and die like that against a team that’s stumbled and faltered lately and make them look as good as they did at the start of the season when they were smashing everyone (including us) is just fucking appalling and proves why Martin just really is not a very good manager. Goodnight.

Surely no team in the history of football has lost 5-0 twice and got promoted.

Well gotta say Russ and the lads have exceeded my worst expectations tonight. Top work all!

He’s just sort of there as a bit of an obstacle. No actual defending. Ok now this is embarrassing.

Good finish but look how easily Manning was done there. Fucking dreadful.

Have to say Brooks has been a huge fucking let down. Was expecting big things but he’s been ordinary at best.

Warnock suggesting favouritism from the officials. We should make an OFFICIAL complaint.

GASH

Thoroughly 1 star so far.

I’m no stato but prepared to bet A LOT of money that a team 3 - 0 down with 20 mins to go in an FA Cup semi final against a team from the league above them coming back to draw at FT is unprecedented.

What a disturbing little weirdo.

Bournemouth at home in the Pelegrino/Hughes season. He was outstanding that day.

Very well done tonight. Game on.

Yeah, that did occur to me but didn’t like to say…..

Just for the avoidance of any doubt I am not some sort of malevolent cryptic witch doctor and I wish Baz a full and speedy recovery.

Lovely. Now no doing a fucking Watford lads.

Nice effort AA.

Nice COMPOSED finish from Che

GTFI!!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t. Just imagine how many more points we might have had if he’d made something incredible like, er, 10 good saves this season!!

They are the only 2 I can remember as posted above. The West Brom One and the Preston One. He makes good saves so rarely that they become known as ‘The (insert name of opposition) One’ and everybody knows exactly what save people are referring to. There was the Liverpool One last year, so that’s a hat trick of saves over 2 seasons.

LOL @ Liverpool. Palarse(lol) played very well tbf.

Usual wordy effort so well done on that. I don’t think he, the players or the entire club management are stupid and didn’t say that. I do think the refusal to adapt his style/philosophy when circumstances strongly suggest that would be a sensible thing to do is stupid.

I don’t think it’s admirable and courageous whatsoever. You can admire the style when it works well and it gets us 2 nil ahead, but to stick with it no matter what, when it clearly isn’t working, is just plain stupid.
