Furious with these players at the moment, absolute pricks have let the previous manager down in key moments of games and by all accounts, senior members of the squad have played a big part in him getting the sack - now they put in the most uninspiring display of the season so far. Fucking wankers. 

This has been far better than a lot of other performances. That's not saying much, but to call this the most uninspiring display is nonsense.

This is as bad as the Wotte and Port era without question.

Not sure where we go from here, as we all knew before - the problems are way bigger than any manager. For us to recover any sort of competitiveness this year we initially need someone who can shake the shit out of these losers, drop a load in January, stabilise and then go from there.

It's been incredibly dull and we haven't exactly looked watertight at the back either.

We have some poisonous elements in the playing squad that need cutting out before we can make any kind of progress. I am seething at the moment. 

They have been brought back in

Confirmation bias is a wonderful thing.

If this had been Still (still) in charge you wouldn't be saying "well, this is better than a lot of our performances so far".

Maybe we should have started the new manager search a couple of weeks back.

A couple of months ago would have been better.

This system doesn't help anyone apart from the centre backs.

Two CMs playing quite flat and screening 3 CBs with limited attempts to play between the lines.

Fellows out of position. Robinson out of position. Armstrong running around on his own. 

Scienza class, as usual.

Assuming we don’t change shape, I'd get Aribo on soon, if he's fit enough. Robinson has been very sloppy indeed.

Won’t be allowed to happen 

Got to be a pet project manager

You can't play wing backs without er, um ah wing backs. It's a pretty obvious concept. If you don't have proper wingbacks you have regular fullbacks, nobody in midfield and 7 at the back defending including the keeper and a defensive midfielder. When you eventually get the ball there is nowhere to go. It is not rocket science.

These players are fucking garbage. Can't string 2 passes together, can't press, can't tackle. Pathetic. 

 

The problem is that they cannot pass forward, they are passive and self preserving. They are looking after themselves and are too wimpish to play a forward pass at the fear of losing the ball.

That's why the likes of Leo is out on the pheriphery as no one can get the ball to him. Downes = safe ball, because he's all about self preservation - just like his dad. Jander is catching the same elements of his game.

In the CM you need players who can 1) break the game up and 2) stamp their foot and move/drive with the ball. We have neither, they just play it safe. As long as we continue to do that whatever we have wide is irrelevant.

Sheffield Wednesday beating Norwich. The canaries are in big trouble....

Shame, they’ll be fellow promotion favourites alongside us in League 1 next season.

Notice the total lack of strength, power and pace. Fill the squad with midgets and weaklings and this is what you get.

I screenshotted this earlier

Admittedly our CBs were lined up on the 6 yard line but even so.

These are all good, skilful players "with the ability to be worth more in 2 years time" but you can't fill a Championship team with small skilful players unless they are re-incarnated 1970s Brazil

We are missing Charles a lot. The only midfielder we have that looks for a forward pass.

Are you having a fucking laugh? This has been as bad as anything I've seen.

In other games you could at least put up some annoying/frustrating missed chances, lack of clinicalness etc. But we haven't even got into their box. This is as bad as it's been.

I really hope we don't bring in a manager that wants 3 at the back. It's so counter productive with this group, they're shit at it!

The manager will do what he’s told

People taking about a chance of the playoffs.. give over. 

This is a stay up mission and one that I think we'll fail at.

We needed a bigger clear out in the summer than anyone could've imagined. We need to literally start from scratch again. Unfortunately I think that'll be in league 1.

Absolutely. It's the Russell Martin "lad" crew, Stephens, Manning, THB and Downes who were all dropped from the first choice eleven who have caused this.

Imagine the fun if Spors hires another wanky arsed 3-at-the-back hipster as the next manager

It is unbearable 

He will won’t he. We all know it

I just can’t fathom that Spors looked at the strikers and thought they were good enough. Terrifying that he is now tasked with picking the next manager.

The issue is that he looked at them via Zoom - he wasn't stood next to them. Plus Spors looks like a small chap too so everyone looks tall to him 😉

If they're not in the first 11, surely they have little influence on the results on the pitch.
