Ainsworth is now wondering what the hell he has done
… and a hell of a big month in March with games against Rotherham, Blackpool and Birmingham who are all below us right now.We've been even more **** without Dykes. Every team below us lost is the only positive.
I was full of optimism after the 1st half, even going in 2-1 down. There was an intensity about our play, not seen for a long time.
Chair going off injured really disrupted any slight bit of balance this team had and Dozzell replacing him was always going to be a non starter.
The team just didn't look fit enough for the last 30 mins or more. The bench was never going to improve our performance. Would have much preferred to see Richards come on for Chair.
I keep saying the same thing to my son, there's no balance in the team and the players just aren't good enough, as results show. There is no way on earth that this squad is as good as what Warburton assembled and even then we were found wanting. Ainsworth has his work cut out to keep us from falling into the relegation places. I really want it to work for him and for us but this was an appointment to appease the fans, to work with little to no budget and one that has experience of league 1.
He needs to have the balls to try something totally different as the same players each week are either under performing consistently or are playing at their best and just aren't good enough.

I hope so Col, I really do.Maybe it was an appointment to try to keep us up and go again next season.
They just seemed to run out of steam very early.Your fitness comment is interesting, Bob. That is definitely something Gazza can work on.

Yes, both are connected in most sports.I guess the question is whether it was primarily physical or psychological
Or an appointment to deliberately deflect away from Teflon Les’s ongoing failings.Maybe it was an appointment to try to keep us up and go again next season.
