We approach these games like we’re playing at Liverpool or Arsenal, rather than some mid table Championship side. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough

We played to ride out a 0-0 or another fluke smash and grab.

Pompey went to Norwich and smashed 5 past them. They’re now safe. If we were at Carrow Road today, would we have even scored?

Would we have even had a shot? <laugh>
 
Selles resembling a babbling Max Cady (Robert DeNiro) in Cape Fear....

I think he has run out of ideas, he is just hoping we can scrape over the line.

Acun flew back into Istanbul this morning from Dominican Republic. Hopefully, he will get to the match on Monday afternoon and give Selles an absolute bollocking. Needs to be a teacups throwing session in the dressing room.
 
Gutted & massively disappointed. Dodgy penalty aside, yet again we have opportunity to wrestle the initiative for survival and instead offer up no proactive fight, no urgency to stay in this division, even worse, no heart. The latter hurts the most as a City supporter. We didn’t even trouble their keeper at all in first half, nor really in the second. It shouldn’t have to take until 70 odd minute mark to come to life/realise the predicament. I don’t know what happened in the international break, but we’ve looked dire since. Haven’t seen/heard Selles post match reaction, no doubt he’ll bleat on about us having been competitive…my arse. Survival still mathematically possible ofcourse, but with our recent trajectory, just can’t see it. Hope I’m wrong.

Really feel for the travelling support, they were all match ready & up for it, rewarded with this offering. Safe travel & journey home to all.

Happy Easter to all.
 
I am supremely confident that we are s...t at the moment and with nine points out there to gain, the one point out of nine from the previous three games cements my supreme confidence even further.
 
There’s a definite mañana to the team and the some of the fanbase.

Don’t worry about the Cov game – it’s a free hit – or don’t worry about Swans, we’ll beat PNE, and as each tomorrow never comes, we slide deeper into trouble as our rivals become more and more energised.

Sheff take the lead and as welcome as that is, is that all we have, just hope three of Plymouth, Luton, Cardiff, Derby all wither on the vine?
 
This is why I thought Selles was the wrong call to replace Walter, tactically maybe he's ok and hopefully we stay up and can kick on and he proves me wrong.

But, we needed someone that had been in this division and done it. Someone that could put a rocket up the players and get them up for a relegation scrap. I don't think we are that team. As the screw has tightened, we've gotten worse.

Think of the pressure on those last 2 games, can you see this lot getting anything out of those games? Crossing all my fingers and toes that I'm wrong and we win 3 on the bounce, but I just don't see it.

At the moment yes, that is all we have. Sometimes football is like that when you don’t do things correctly.
 
I think we'll survive by the skin of our teeth this season. But next season the league will probably be tougher at the bottom end at least and I don't see any real signs that we will improve, none. Just to hope that returning long term injuries turn out to be as good as we have built them up to be in their absence

Doesn't strike me as inspirational, Doesnt strike me as someone who would kick off after a performance like today, more say 'we have to do better on Monday', doesnt strike me as a great tactician, either defensively or attacking. All this vertical bollocks shows how crap we are as we have mistaken that for horizontal, both in play and the attitude of the players. In short if some of us have seen It, unless he's a great talker, this is not what Acun signed him up for.
