    Absolutely. Credit to him for doing it, but that is the minimum you want really. If you are going to be useless on the pitch (as a collective) at least face up to it.

    Nah, sorry. That’s embarrassing from the club. Especially when he’s presenting a prize for guessing that we’d get thumped 5-0

    I’ve worked in three different clubs and I’d be amazed if any of the three would ever allow that to happen. Arma looks mortified, tinpot from us - but credit to him for showing his face

    Think it was @Archers Road who said this week that he should be starting every game due to his work ethic and commitment.

    Hard to disagree.

    Armstrong is no way near a PL quality player, we knew that several seasons ago. I absolutely am sick of seeing him in the starting line up because there is just no quality there. And yet, we bought so much utter **** in attack that it's hard to disagree with Archers Road. He puts in a shift, he runs hard and seems to care, and while that does seem like the absolute bare minimum, it puts him ahead of the rest of them.

    I do get that point of view but it'd be at least equally bad to go back on the commitment in my view.

    I felt like I'd wasted £27 or whatever it was on today but I got what I paid for ultimately. If I'd paid hospitality prices to watch that ****e and I didn't even get what was advertised I'd be pretty pissed off.

    There's lots of things embarrassing about the club this season but this is way down the list imo.

    He’s rubbish at this level but at least he’s professional which is more than most of the squad.

    Why oh why Sulemana keeps getting chances is the biggest mystery. Stinks the place out every single week

    Seen enough of Tall paul now too. Thought he deserved a run in the team. He’s had that now and he’s shocking too.

    **** me, our recruitment is soooooooo bad.

    The more I sit and think about our squad the more I am perplexed.

    95 players, all of them are ****e

    When that happens you just go and fish out one of your club legends (who are already being paid to work the room in the suites) and tell them you need a favour and to stay for as many photos as people want. If you have to give them another few hundred quid, you do it. Seen it plenty of times

    Speaks to the lack of common sense decision-making and how wrapped up in the off-pitch stuff some of the staff are. It is a football club firstly, guys

    Is it possible to sell the whole squad? As soon as we go one goal down heads go down and accept defeat! No fight just capitulation Do these players realise how much there transfer value is going down? Go down fighting puts you in the shop window go down like this and they will be lucky to get to the MLS

    Fair point actually. Didn't consider getting somebody else to do it.

    Yeah, I really didn’t want him to play today but actually when he came on he did ok, actually better. Just shows I know zippo & how **** Sula is. OMFG.

    Tbf to him, he probably needs a day to recover and formulate his response to the team which might actually have an impact, just a thought.

    Take a listen to Going home with Adam and Joe. It's well worth it.

    I'm so disappointed with Tall Paul, thought he looked a real handful against West Ham but for the last two games sadly he's been a non entity and as for Sulemana somebody's going to have to explain him to me? I'm don't want to be mean but he just doesn't look like a professional footballer to me, certainly he's got pace but his touch is dreadful and for most of the time he looks confused as to what he's supposed to be doing. I watched him today and for a lot of the time he just ran around like a headless chicken, almost dazed and confused not knowing which direction he should be facing? He must be great in training for match day he's League Two standard at best.
    When Juric came in I had optimism that we might just make a fist of things but all that has gone after todays performance - it reminded me somewhat of Grimsby town in the cup

    But yeah it's crazy. Had someone near me today who kept going on about how he's been used wrong and we're not utilising his talents.

    He's utter dog ****.
