I think Mara's cameo sub appearence was one of the most pathetic I've seen in many a year. No effort, no commitment, nothing, just wandered around aimlessly. I dont know why he continues to pick him, he needs a fkin good haricut and be told to pull his bloody finger out !!

You’ve made the age old mistake of using logic there ! The Sage from The Channel Islands gave up making any kind of sense years ago!

Never mind the haircut, do we know if him and Capt. Jack have got matching tatoos yet ? 😚

oh my ! err, wouldnt they have wanted rain to keep everyone indoors rather than sunshine ? 🥷

They were, and while people argue that Jack has been playing well, which in general is valid, its this effect on the others and the shape thats the issue.

Well yeah but as bloody awful as he is as a centre forward he’s better there than Armstrong and Seku bloody Mara. Thats the issue that should have been addressed in January.

That might have been me quoting Gordon Strachan 🤣

I wonder if RM knows his position isn’t secure if we don’t go up? A couple of comments in today’s press conference made me wonder - the bit about Coventry giving Mark Robbins time, was that a dig/reminder? and the bit about “when I go the clubs structure is sound” or words to that effect.

Its total crap, the guy is the third best centre back at the club and therefore should only be starting matches if JB or THB aren’t fit or suspended.

Yeah he's grown on me and he doesnt hold back when he sees something wrong......it helps that virtually everyone else sees it to but at least his voice adds some weight to the view as an ex professional footballer.

This will be the toughest of the three home games and after Blackburn they need to put in a performance otherwise apathy will set in amongst the crowd. Tbf whatever the score isnt gonna make a great deal of difference to us re- playoffs.......but it will to Coventry !

Sorry but when he starts referring to Stephens as "an incredible footballer" as he did to The Echo and talking about teams playing four centre backs then I'm done with him. He's single handedly screwed up automatic promotion by forcing players into positions they arent suited to (and I dont just mean Capt Jack, there's Samllbone and Rothwell to name but two) then refuses to go back to the main line-up and system that scored us a 25 game unbeaten run! Incredible!! The arrogant twat can do one and take his propoganbda football with him !

We wont finish third, no way. 4th (or 5th) is probably best in so far as 3rd play 6th, and 6th placed teams are usually on a roll having put together a run of form to secure that last spot.

We’ve got Coventry before them…..that’ll be tougher !

The RM interview after will be fascinating 🤣

It’s like that 25 game run with a settled team (defence) just never happened !

Wrong, you’ve missed out Captain Jack, he’s bound to start !

Unfortunately I think thats the most likely case.

Yes but Lego, as you call him, isn’t like most managers, he’s much cleverer 🙁

You don’t honestly believe that ! Come on ! Christ if that was the case the keeper would have been dropped 6 months ago !

Because he had to keep Stephens in the team. Haven’t you grasped that bit yet? All those clever bastards who insisted KWP not playing was a fitness issue even given the 3 week break we had…..well you’ve had your answer from RM now…..and you’re wrong !

With the next game not until Saturday he could have said that if it was the case. But no he’s so fkin desperate to shoehorn Stephens in we now drop our best player of the season. Unbelievable, he can go now as far as I’m concerned and take his 75% possession football with no end result with him.

Ipswich win that because they have three things we don’t - guts, a decent keeper and decent strikers.

I know what you’re saying but having shortfailings masked by a 25 game unbeaten run sounds odd !

So the manager’s quote that KWP and Frazer were back, like they’ve never been away and are ready for the run in was incorrect then? Ok
