What’s wrong with going into a game and actually attacking it from the start. Ponderous bullshit tonight.

We’re an absolute dream to play against. So many easy goals we give away. Dasilva simply has to come out. It’s embarrassing. Binks the same - absolutely featherweight.

Reckon we should try 11 outfield players?

Poor performance, really. Offered no threat at all.

The first goal, I swear was a replay of the same goal we've conceded 90% of the time so far this season. It's basically a copy and paste from every other game.

And how the hell the second one went in. I'm not going to put all the blame on Collins, because it should never have been able to get into the position for it to happen in the first place. I know they're coached to play out from the back, but someone's got to realise at some point there are occasions it really is better to just smash your foot through it.

Defeat at Burnley is hardly the low point of our season, it was just drab. Hopefully the new man can get off to a good start, I don't think this one will stay in the memory long.

Losing is one thing, not putting up a fight and letting a team have the points is another.

If you set this team up to defend and slow the game down they just can't get out of that negative mindset.
They get stuck in 2nd gear.
We have to set up to routinely attack teams it's the only way to wake the fookers up.

And to think we got told it was a big shame that EMC couldn’t join us in January, he’s 25, he’s meant to almost be at his peak.

He looks like he should be a Wetherspoons Bouncer rather than a pacy winger.

I think van Ewijk is a brilliant player but fuck me does he need to work on his crossing it's ridiculous how he ghosts past his man and sticks that across. If he gets his crossing right he will be class.

1 win in 12.
Absolutely shit performance, same old, centre backs passing out to MVE he runs forward plays to either Sakamoto or Eccles, Eccles goes back to the centre backs and repeat. Dross football.

We need new Centre backs a new left back and a top box to box centre mid. Our defence apart from MVE is absolutely shit.

You can go ahead and offload Bidwell, Kitching, Simms.

Shit transfer window, Asante has done fuck all, hasn't got a first touch, Rudoni nothing but a waste of money, absolutely levels below Hamer, O'Hare, yet 4 Times the price.

We have got too many bang average players, Thomas, Binks, Dasilva, Bidwell, Rudoni, Asante, Simms, Kitching, Torp, Eccles are bang average players.

Let's be honest without 2 new centre backs and quality midfielder we ain't going anywhere.

We made Burnley looked like fucking Liverpool tonight.

That’s what annoys me. In the first ten mins, I could see how it would play out. Why not back your team and attack the game. There wasn’t anything to lose.

Our defence was shocking last season, yet we proceeded to bring the same defensive unit back, and spent loads of money on more strikers and yet another mid-range keeper instead. And people STILL wanted us to sign more midfielders.

The more I think about it, the more I think Doug and Robins had a proper row after Derby and it was an emotional, reactive decision.

To not have anyone lined up to come in before sacking a manager that was in top 6 form is so fucking naive.

Good job we're about to hire a manager who can't organise a defence and whose teams are generally awful defensively

I wouldn't subject us to another one, but a thread of things it feels only happens at your club;

- We never keep the ball from kickoff
- We never keep the ball from a throw-in
- Soft goals
- Don't get the hype of Jaidon Anthony, I think he's a bag of crock (this one doesn't fit, but have to let it off my chest, he's wank)

We just totally lack any sort of decent quality. There’s no purpose in the passing or vision/movement, it’s all so ponderous and loose. Everyone has lead in there boots and they can’t play a pass to feet. It’s just so poor.

Away to a team with the best defensive record in the top 4 leagues.

Not saying it was good, it was shite. Other games have been worse.

At the moment we need a motivator at the very least, a tactician is merely a bonus, as the players look disinterested. They’re taking no responsibility of the last 4 months of abject shite….

Don’t think we’re bad enough to go down, some of the teams below us look truly hopeless.

Can’t see us getting much higher than 17th or 18th however.
