Back in my hotel room and really disappointed about tonight. Don't know why i bother coming to these games.
First half was as bad as i've seen us play this season.
Second half we upped the tempo but had no-one capable of playing a killer pass.
We looked like the 2nd XI that we are.

Earlier in the season i remember being 1 down at Barnsley but we had played well and deserved a lot more - and sure enough, we got at least our just deserts when we equalized 1-1.

Today we never looked like scoring. We were a shadow of that performance. I don't get it.

Like i said, really really disappointing.

Yes within 3/4 weeks its all gone wrong?!!......we have injuries but we had them 2 months ago. Olly seems to have lost the plot since Forest and tonights selection was shocking without strikers...

I agree. Unless there's a damn good effort and display, and a win, I would fear for Olly after that game.

If he were to go, who would want to takeover at our club the state it is in at the moment? A huge FFP fine hanging over our head, half the squad's injured and no money to spend on players.

There's an ego amongst managers that leads them to believe they'll do better than their predecessor whatever the circumstances. And the salary of course!
 
Was a pre-winter vehicle service day with a pick-up after work (replaced starter motor with a used salvage one + winter tires insalled + oil & filter change), so a rare occasion when I didn't follow our match, and am now just catching up on the rather unsurprising scoreline. What has happened to us after beating the top 2 teams at home over a 3 day period? The goals have really dried up - perhaps we need to get Eze back for some fresh blood.

I note that the Chair stayed on the Bench......

As last time out, we once again leaked a goal in extra time just before the half-time break.

Gerry Francis has just become available.
Does anyone think he’d be better third time round?

What’s your definition of a long time?

Haven’t seen tonight’s game but I’m pretty sure we’ve played worse, with less spirit and allegedly better players within the last two seasons.

Certainly not this season. Derby were really poor, had their fans moaning at them after 20 minutes, but we still didn't ever look like scoring.
 
I really hope we don’t sack him but that team selection was classic Holloway.

Mackie is our fourth best striker and that’s having never seen the kids. If he’s a winger he’s about our sixth best so just shouldn’t be starting as good a bloke as he is.

Still don’t know what Yeni is meant to do. A Hasselbaink gem that one and I think we spent about £1.5m on him.

I appreciate there were a few injuries but that simply wasn’t the best team we could have put out IMO. Just poor management.
