I’ve tried keeping my positive hat on so far but this performance has blown a fuse. Absolutely pathetic.

This is how I feel.

How can you expect anything when you're capable of a performance like that?

I think that's the worst defensive display I've seen from us since that awful Wrexham cup game. Not quite on that level, but getting there.

It was just brainless all over the pitch. Against a team who looked like they were 17th in the Championship.

Thought that opening for Simms to roll the ball to Rudoni was a big moment.

He just doesn't do the simple stuff. He tries to do stuff when there's no need.

He kicked the ball out about 5 times trying to do flicks.

Been saying it since he came back, he makes us worse and slows us down.

If BTA put this performance in last season (he probably did) he’d have been crucified (and probably was)

Thomas can't blame him fighting passion for the club don't think it was a red card

It wasn't passion, it was childish petulance.

Though there should be a retrospective yellow for their player's embarrassing response, too.

Sick of reading 'oh but we win that if the ref gave blah blah'

We've been fucking shite since Charlton at home, stop the fucking woe is me the league is against us shit and take a look at whats in front of us. This squad have mentally lost it at the moment

Hopefully it can be recovered but we have been poor for a while and results are reflecting this

Urgh mentally weak. It’s not weak to call on the obvious that we should have pushed for more squad depth which is costing us now.

It's costing us when we are top after 4 months after alot of injuries Illness and now bereavement?

Yeh squad depth must be soooo terrible....

We need a few in. It's not a major reason . It's just a dip in form and results. Nothing major

Perspective needed. We were poor today. But there were signs going forward that we were a bit more dangerous than recently. Defensively we were shocking and we didn’t have to do much. But. We’re still top and will add faces. We’re not melting down. It’s not done and dusted. We need to grind a win out. FA Cup comes at exactly the right time. I expect to see the youth team basically

I dont think any of them outside of Rushworth and Mason-Clarke are safe should we go up, even van Ewijk he doesnt have the defensive discipline to track back thats basics he gets beat and lets his man go

Birmingham were garbage. Absolutely garbage.

So to concede 3 against them means we were even worse. Just livid about it quite honestly, they were bloody terrible.

It’s costing us after illness and bereavement? Well yeah that’s kinda the point mate. It’s generally a good idea to prepare for injuries etc as a natural part of the season. Doug should have been proactive and observed the bloody obvious

You can't prepare for every scenario. Even biggest clubs in world have injury crises

Yes every club has injury crisis! That’s the point! We should have foreseen it and bought in advance.

Last thing I'll say on this and then I'll put my phone away again

But when everyone bitched and moaned and panicked when lampard took over I said I could see he was taking us up the table based on performances. No one listened but I was proven right

Now I'm telling you right now even if we don't bring anyone in we will start winning again and keep an autos spot

But I expect we will sign players so even better.

Covcity4life is always right. You can choose to trust me and enjoy rest of your day or panic all day and then be proven wrong as always.

The choice is entirely yours.

Well, you are a c**t. That has nothing to do with the fact you do not have an argument, which you are now trying to level at me.

Every time it is brought up he has been capable for the goals you accuse someone of having a new boo boy, and get emotional about it. You have no defence for how badly he has played, each of the goals, and haven't pointed out a single thing he has done right. You are just too emotionally immature to deal with any criticism that has come his way and then got silly about it. The only reason this is still going on is because despite most other players underperforming, there is no cry baby sat there hitting reply each time their names are mentioned.

I agree there have been worse players on the pitch, but if you really think he is one of the better ones today then you are quite stupid, and we are fucked frankly.
Click to expand...

clueless, and also lacking intelligence

where to start, well firstly you don’t mean ‘capable’ you mean ‘culpable’, silly!

secondly I’ve not commented on anybody else’s thoughts, only yours, and only once, so hardly ‘every time’

thirdly, an argument for what? it’s a fact that JDS was not directly responsible for any of the goals, all of which were down to other defenders not tracking runs or trying to play offside - if you understood football you’d see that, I don’t need to argue anything

fourth, I’m not trying to defend JDS, but he was instrumental in our first goal and a lot of the good play down the left, but that’s something else I’m sure you missed

fifth, why is what I think in any way related to how the team perform? what a silly comment….

and lastly, if you find yourself in Earlsdon, as your name suggests, please pop down to any of the pubs on Craven Street and call me a c**t to my face

haha, clueless!
