I spoke with a Rangers season ticket holder about Dowell. He was less than complimentary about him and said he was glad to get rid.
I used to like Burns commentating. Now, he does my fkn head in.
Got comments from relatives - Drameh should be left back to stop Wallace , 4 at the back to slow a decent midfield and give the baggies something to worry about with Millar on the wing . We need to occupy the opposition .
I think Serge probably planned to to see out to half time then do the grab second half but got the formation wrong .

Id like the manager and staff to go back to what got us in the top 6 in the first place. 4231, outscore the opposition. We have plenty attacking options and a few injuries at fullback position. Im sure if Coyle or Drameh have to sit a game or 2 out, we can put a centre back at full back for a game or so. Im pretty sure Hughes could do a job and McNair has played there too.
Going to a defensive 5 at the back against the 2nd from bottom is just negative. We have fantastic away form this season and they are where they are, not sure what we had to be worried about. If anything match their 442 formation and play like for like.
A few ppl are saying Sergei is starting to get things wrong recently and I would agree. There's only a handful of games left now, just go for it, 4231, get balls in the box for McBurnie to attack and with Gelhardt, Crooks and a few others we'll always be a threat to anyone.

It was obvious within 5 minutes or so that it wasn’t working and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one voicing that in the crowd. The midfield was outnumbered and overrun, either through playing three centre-backs or through trying to shoehorn in certain players (eg Gelhardt). Very early doors I think he should have brought on Hadziahmetovic and taken off Ajayi once it became obvious it wasn’t working - which was well before their goal. I also think we need Joseph on from the start. I hope there was still illness in the camp as an excuse for the flat performance. Otherwise I think we are ****ed. Soton will overtake someone, and at the moment it looks like us.
Not quite sure where the DOGSO is to send Hughes off. Criminal pass from Pandur for their first but nothing new there.
If we don’t beat Wednesday it will be “ pass the revolver “ time. The thought of it leaves me mortified.
We got beat, we forget the result next Saturdays a new game we are still in the play offs with a transfer embargo lets not be down on ourselves first full week to recover and rest the niggling injuries for a while..... on to Sheff Wed UTT
It would be gutting to miss out from the position we put ourselves in roughly 10 points clear but this season has genuinely been unbelievable so far. Whatever happens happens.
Pandurs kicking has not been too good this season what I want to know is what the hell have the training staff been doing with him all season.
Burnsy doesn't get a replay, he's doing radio coverage and watching it live - tbh, he's said it often enough.
Not true. Some grounds give them screens for replays. It's even worse to be speaking so confidently without a replay though.
Certainly a day to forget and one that needs quickly erasing from the memory.
I felt the gaffer got it wrong, not often he does, but the set-up just looked out of balance.
WBA were just the better side, and seemed more up for it than we did.
Just need to sack this one off, regroup and put things right against Wednesday.

Just in terms of reffing, we had some decisions go for us early in the season. Even though they did, it was still shocking reffing. These last few weeks there’s been some really really poor decisions go against us. The refereeing in general in this league is an absolute disgrace. I get that it’s job that’s far from easy, but these blokes are professionals on a pretty decent wage making comically bad errors multiple times a game. With how much the game has improved as time has gone on, why have reffing standards stood still or possible even gone backwards?
I think Serge in his interviews, not just yesterday is trying to keep a lid on his goalkeeper frustrations, the inability to control a ball, lack of concentration, injuries, etc and as importantly the number of games. I think its been a total shock to him, even though he signed up for it. Will be prepared to go again come August.?

If you park the table positions JEX, if it was game 3 as an example, you'd have expected to lose. They simple have better players than us unfortunately, not in every position but in general.
I was thinking actually of a film some might have seen, cant remember what it was and I think it reflects where we are at the moment. It was a steam ship and it started off well, then started to run out of fuel, so they started to pull the ship to bits to burn to keep it going.
