    Some people are for booing some are against iv'e never bothered but i couldn't care less if after that type of performance they chucked half bricks at them and it should of started in the prem about 3 seasons before we were relegated and we might not be where we are now.

    As soon as I seen that team selection I was worried. Hopefully Dodds doesn't have a say in the next game.

    Reminds me of that quote in response to the question which do you prefer grass or astro turf?
    Grass, never smoked astro turf

    Half of those players don’t deserve to and probably never will ever play in an attendance like that

    38500 and we turned in that performance.

    The players should have been busting a gut to perform, but that's the fan in me talking.

    We are set up all wrong and have quite a negative slow mindset.

    Play from the back tippy tappy ****e as we are a better footballing team seems to be the outlook.

    Football has and always will be a simple game, you win your battles and earn the rigjt to play the tippy tappy stuff. We don't win the battles

    well I think you are wrong we were stuck with the laziest set of twats long before that ginger git joined us, they only ever played the last six games of the season when they knew their wages were going to drop.

    We got everything we deserved today. We don’t learn from our lessons and clearly try to overthink things. Similar team to last week when we got taken apart. Both times get to half time and don’t change it ffs. Brought all these new players in and don’t start them. Questions need to be asked about Speakman. DofF right? My concern is that they will pass on Keane because they may feel intimidated by him. Just hope I’m wrong. Today in front of 38,000 that was unforgivable. Embleton and Neil in midfield together when we needed Matete performing in his role. Football is a simple game. This is all unbelievable ffs

    No the wonder LJ lost his job with such ineptitude coaches such as this . Before the game a lot of supporters were saying it was a Johnson team even though he has left . We have several wingers but failed to play anyone on the left hand side where their was so much space it was untrue it took till half time and us to be 2-0 down before it dawned on the bench to change anything . Pritchard was the the only one in midfield who put in a shift for the side but all to often he was having to go wide to lend support to Embleton and Neil who were quite anonymous . Overall not many of the players can say they performed to an acceptable level they may not like that LJ has lost his job but they have to be PROFESSIONAL and get on with their jobs .

    Ellis Short is why we are in this league. He gave up in 2016 and sold us to a pair of chancers in 2018. During that time we went from PL to L1. It's all on him

    Typical us right? Build everything up and don’t have the nads to deliver. No winning mentality. Let me think? Who could we find that would bring that to the club?

    I would love to count how many times Doyle and whoever the other centre half is on any given game pass the ball aimlessly to each other making up not one yard of gain before launching it toward Stewart. We seem to want to give the other side time to get into position before we attack.
