    So at the end of the day they still deserved to beat us, we still lost three points and the two new signings looked poor as did the other 9 I know. The scoreline might have been fortunate, the loss and the manner of defeat not so.

    Without doubt we deserved to lose, we were crap, we all know that, I'm reserving judgement on the two new signings, lets see how they are in a few weeks time.
    if we'd have lost 1-0 I'd have been as much disappointed as I am now because of the performance of our players, unfortunately everything they hit went in, and the ref didn't help with his stupid decision to send Smith off.
    it may have only been 4-0 then:emoticon-0100-smile

    With Hindsight,it was a mistake to take a gamble by throwing on the 2 new guys,it backfired.But after last weeks crap I would have done just the same.

    It wasn't a mistake to bring in the two new guys - it was a mistake to build the rest of the team in the way he did.

    I'm in the awful position of having to agree mostly with Glory on his general analysis - maybe he had looked at my earlier posts ;)

    But there is one bit I don't agree with: this particular takeover is not destabilising. There is no bad blood, there is no angst, there is no concern over it, there only seems to be optimism that we will have owners that have some nous and a little cash too. So I don't see it as a factor really, other than some players may see it as the end of their LUFC careers because we will bring in better players

    I don't want McD out either - but I do want him to sort it, and if he doesn't and quickly, I think he will be under pressure. He even admitted it himself.

    I do not like him having an "open session" with the players where all of them speak their minds. Screw that, this is a football team with a manager where the manager is the one in charge - it's not the ****ing pc civil service on an annual awayday

    Sheldon, I agree with Glory (!!!!). This takeover has been destabilising. If they'd kept their traps shut, expectations wouldn't have exploded in the way they had. Earlier this week, you'd have thought we'd signed Ronaldo & Messi. I very firmly blame Tory Boy for all this. If he had kept his trap shut & refrained from teasing (as is his wont) on Twitter, then things might have been different. The players visit sites like ours & get caught up in the hype like the rest of us. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, TORY BOY, AND IT WAS ALL UNDER YOUR CONTROL!!!

    Burnley (H) - Lost 2-1
    QPR (H) - Lost 1-0
    Leicester (A) - Drew 0-0
    Derby (H) - Lost 2-1
    Forest (A) - Lost 2-1

    Are you really using these games as your argument?
    1 point from 15 against the top 5.
    Your tactics are worse than McDermott's <laugh>

    You would have played 2 wingbacks with 2 wingers?

    I still can't get my head round that system. I bet the players couldn't believe it either.

    Just his nickname, Billy. No intention of talking politics. Actually, don't really want to talk at all. Still in the huff.

    Not sure why anyone has a problem with the 3 2 2 2 1 we played. Such a simple system

    While I agree with that freak result analysis (6 out of 8), it does not alter the fact of just how poor we were.

    ... what is Jeff Stelling's statement of qualifications that makes his opinion one to go by?

    Has he ever attended a referee class?

    Has he ever had any training in the Laws of the Game?

    Has he ever refereed a game?

    Not a send off for me and all Lee Probert could see was Smith running across his opponent and the opponent going down. Maybe his AR who would have been at a better angle to actually see what happened spoke with him over their communication system but for me not a send off.
