    Worst ****ing team in the league, been saying it for months but the happy clappers seem content with it!! Sooooo poor, soooo weak, soooo slow, fecking clueless and KM has to take a lot of the blame for this **** show. Big Al may stick a few f's into me, that's his ****ing prerogative but I would rather be a realist than an apologist!! Wake up and smell the fecking coffee, we are ****, our manager has spunked millions on dross and it's time for change.
    Hutchinson 20 million
    Clarke 20 million
    **** keeper 10 million
    Etc etc etc...
    This is down to km, his choices, his team, his tactics!!
    #outofhisdepth
    But hey, you still keep believing, that's the other problem, accepting mediocrity. I don't expect miracles but with 100 million spent....I expect improvement!!

    That first half was a microcosm of our issues and the worst elements of this team. No leadership, no fire, lack of quality, and completely wilting under pressure.

    Defence to a man has been awful. But Greaves in particular needs to be brought off. Midfield has been a complete non-entity, yet again. Attacking players all playing for themselves, no fluency or combinations.

    As soon as we went a goal down, it felt like the floodgates would open. Forest are a good side, a really well-drilled unit that has no flashy, stand-out individuals. We are nowhere near that level.

    Only silver lining - for me anyway - is that I couldn’t get tickets for this match.

    Oh, I don't think we'll survive, I just want to see us give it a go in the second half and not be timid.

    Oh and Ristac, my apologies, I got way ahead of myself, you was right!!

    Haha love the meltdown, at least you’re first to realise what we were telling you at the start of the season.

    Welcome back Spanish! We need to show courage, spirit, and energy to entertain the home fans in their last few games.

    We should've stuck with the 3 at the back we played a couple of months ago. Drop the double pivot for 1 holding midfielder, 3 CBs, 2 wing backs, 3 behind the striker.

    I don't think any of us envisaged the constant injury problem we've had to deal with all season.

    Abuse? Can’t remember anyone giving you abuse on here. You told Big Al to “feck off” so he said it back to you.

    I don’t even think we’ve been that “happy clappy” on here, certainly in comparison to sites like TWTD. We’ve generally been critical, but optimistic. No one’s been calling for McKenna’s head, but after two promotions - it’s surely a little harsh to be sacking him this season. Rightly or wrongly, we’ve always been a club that tries to give managers time. Lambert, McCarthy, Jewell, and Keane all got longer than they deserved and didn’t achieve anywhere near what McKenna has done here.

    Hope you stick around though, Spanish. At least get your predictions in :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Take Phillips off, put Hirst on. Townsend for Davis to whip some crosses in. Davis hasn't been running in behind, there were a couple of occasions Enciso tried to play Davis in but he hadn't made the run.

    Nah not sticking around, just wanted to vent briefly. Oh and this really is the happy clappers site, blind faith for months is amazing, when writing had clearly been on the wall.... McKenna found his level, premier league ain't it!!

    Oh and one last thing, time to bin Delap and start getting Hirst ready for next season, same with Enciso, Phillips and Cajuste. None of them will be here so, let's start getting things ready for next season and maybe getting a jump on other teams!!
