    Players have been like this for years, this isn't just a manager problem

    The only good thing is that we`re only one down. I wonder how he will change it for the second half ?

    True but we can't implement those changes unless we want to pay off about ten professional contracts in full and replace them with ten more that may or may not be improvements. That would also herald the arrival of the administrators i expect. The only thing we can change immediately is the manager.

    The pressing high up the pitch does not seem part of our play anymore

    Clearly a home hangover. Confidence so brittle! We have to improve, otherwise we'll have Lincoln's Grim Reaper on the prowl!

    We have looked chaos for past few seasons, but got lucky with the new manager bounce. When your squad plays **** under like 4 different managers you have to start blaming the players

    Personally, I would welcome death with open arms before Allardyce

    Then why did the same combination of players and manager manage to pick up enough points in the league last season to have been 7th if the season started when this poor manager arrived.

    Real question, its ridiculous how dire we are now.

    It’s not so much chaos as watching walking statues. No-one seems to have a clue what to do with the ball!

    We are not playing nearly as bad as people think.

    I mean, we’re not exactly playing good but they don’t deserve the boos.

    Oh, and it is a 5-2-3 kind of thing or 5-2-2-1. I think the tactic is to stay strong at the back, try to nick a goal off the press, or lull them to sleep and be more aggressive second half, maybe throw in another attackers. Obviously giving up a goal has put a dent in the plan.

    But we were never going to charge out there trying to take it to them.

    There was a turning point last season 0-1 down at ht against spurs and in bottom 3. A spirited 2nd half fight back to win 2-1.

    We need another one of those 45 minutes.

    Have we ever had a worse manager than 19/20 Hassenhuttl?

    Although that's almost precisely what RH said we would do in his presser wasn't it?
