    He is worse than Russ, with no credit in the bank like Russ had

    I just don’t get it. Even crap teams can set up to be defensively solid and get the odd smash and grab 0-0. We may still lose most games but not by 3, 4, 5 goals.

    I know our players aren't great, but they're just not Derby '11 bad. They're really not. Feel so f*cking bad for them.

    Cole Palmer being off form is the only reason why it isn't six at HT

    I agree, I fear next season could be really ugly. Need to appoint a manager who can grind results in adversity, God knows who that is. Think we will be closer to doing a Luton vs Sheff Unitef

    Because we are the level beyond crap, we are in history making levels of crap. This is one of the two worst sides to play in the top flight in 30 years and could still be worst.

    Oh and unlike Derby back in the day, we have spent a lot of money to be this ****.

    He’s playing 3 at the back with 1 CB and a not-very-good championship fullback and a mediocre championship midfielder.

    He was anonymous against Brighton so I understand that.

    42+ minutes the energy dropped so much that the third goal was always going to happen. Downes walking around midfield letting Cucurella have free reign. Any game plan relies on players executing it well and in open play it wasn't too bad until the last 5 mins of the half. Set piece defending pretty rubbish as it has been all year.

    I think you're overestimating the quality in the Championship. Besides, Juric will not be here next season, I think that can be put to bed now. With the squad we will still have, the right manager should get us back up. And that is Rohl.

    Yes, we started well but what can you do when the players make such terrible errors.

    Would take Jones back in an instant over this clown.

    Liverpool away is going to be disgusting.

    I'm still not arsed about getting rid of Juric before the season finished. Get rid or don't, I don't care.

    But if he's still here after the Arsenal game, the board can do one. 24 hours after that FT whistle blows should be the absolute maximum - but more like 30 minutes.
