Disappointed that we couldn't win for the rather lovely Forest supporting receptionist at my Travelodge

blimey a travelogue and an R's game, double disappointment! Well done for attending mate, they were saying on the commentary that the coaching staff were looking up and discussing something with someone in the directors box, could you see any of that?

And I chucked in a Nando's for good measure

With my crap eyesight I couldn't - though Ramsey didn't look any more animated than any of the other games I've seen this season
 
I'm not a big one on trying to get rid of any manager, however...

The squad has the players and potential to do great in the division we are in.

I am not expecting instant promotion but would like to see us competing with the teams at a similar level.

It is clear to me that the issue is a man management problem. We have professionals in the squad but to me it looks like CR hasn't the ability to motivate them to perform.

This is the issue, all great managers can fire a team and mould them into a cohesive unit sadly CR appears unable to do this, I'm guessing it's down to his inexperience.

I believe it is time to take a positive step and install another manager who can get the best out of the players we have...

Last night was possibly the worst result we could get. Dropped points and only a 1-0 loss. That means that Ramsey MIGHT have a lifeline. 6-0 would have seem him go.

Nearly right. This bloke is NO right back.

I thought that Perch had a very reasonable game yesterday bar the late sending off - aided by Martin pretending that he was injured only for an amazing recovery once the ref had carded Perch

Konch was much better too last night

What was bizarre was Henry playing wide right, though I again felt he had a decent game given that he was played so out of position

I'm presuming that, as we played 4-3-3, Henry was on the right of a midfield three?
Phillips would have been wide right. Is that right?
 
Luton is hands down the worst place in England and I've been to Accrington and Crewe. Scotland will have worse places, naturally.

No - Phillips played much further forwards and more centrally last night, though seemed to have been given licence to roam. We certainly lacked decent crosses last night. Henry's first effort was shanked so badly it ended up in row Z but almost behind where he was on the pitch

Not testing the Derby keeper last night was poor

And even Keogh failed to make a telling pass for us :cheesy:
 
Do you honestly believe that Ramsey is making the decisions? He is being controlled by Ferdinand and Warnock, the fella hasn't a chance.
Presumably we could replace Ramsey with Guardiola or Wenger and it would make no difference then?

Perhaps these protests need to be aimed at the incompetent managerial skills of Warnock and Ferdinand?

We've got some bad places up here Wats, but worst place I've been in UK is Blackburn/Darwen - complete dump, thought I'd ended up in some slum in Bangladesh (I've been there, it was nicer!)

As for Scotland, I wouldn't swap my place and it's views for anything down there
