EMC, Wright and Bobby Thomas. 3 of the most disgraceful professional footballer performances i have ever seen today.

EMC has been a shambles. Lazy talentless oaf. Wright didn’t look bothered, and Thomas is a liability

what about Kitching???????

I disagree with Thomas, thought he did well, particularly as he was basically doing the job of two people!

they really aren’t upgrades on what we’ve had before though

We saw a fighting, hardworking reaction in the Blackburn game after the Leeds embarrassment but it's a different matter to do that week in week out.
I think we lack any real quality so we have to choose the best 11 who will most likely fight for it every game.

We lack leadership all over the pitch. Getting rid of Kelly, Fadz and Godden removed an experienced spine. I’m not saying we should have kept them but we could have done with bringing in some experienced players in the summer

The squad haven’t forced him to shoehorn players into a 4-2-3-1 that he’s stubbornly refusing to change even when we’re being outplayed on the pitch.

Not as bad as our own fans.

It's depressing how we've gone from one of the loudest home grounds in the country to another generic nothing club with no atmosphere.

Bullied, not enough commitment and no clear game plan.

Rudoni, Sheaf, Eccles honourable mentions but just not good enough as a te

Can’t turn up for 10 minute spells and expect to win.

Pissed off.

There's no guarantee of that. Not sure where I am with him though tbh. All seems to have gone a bit stale.

Or change our approach when it wasn’t working. Surely ideal game for Bassette?

He won’t play Bassette as he prefers tippy tappy boring slow football and don’t like pace it seems I feel sorry for players on the bench .

I think the players are better than what they’re showing

they have no clue tactically, that’s on the manager

Yup. That's it in a nutshell. For whatever reason, this squad is just not functioning. I can't see changing the manager is going to make any difference.

If the balance is all wrong, it needs more movement in a transfer window and we don't have that option now until January.

We just seem to be disjointed.

Because the players aren't arsed. The manager is happy to try and get a draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday rather than go for the win.

It’s not a shape issue. We don’t have the players either in terms of quality or mentality.

Today the difference was work rate and lack of effort to win second balls.

If the balance is wrong you change the system to suit the balance for the players we have.

I’m not sure, and as I’ve said robins is a club legend

I just think it’s time for someone else to try and get the best out of this squad

We've been shit the entire time we've played that that place but the people still made an effort. It was louder with 6000 in League 2.
