I dont know why Rudoni is being tarred with the shit stick. Same for EMC.

There's so much worse in our first 18 for starters

 

[Briles]

I know yes. Wasnt digging youout

Oh sorry , habit that

 

[Legionairre]

this is what happens when you have a wage cap of 50k.

The difference in the class is so easy to see.

Players like Barkley who would have signed but due to wages

dunno how this team can compete when the gulf in class is for all to see

 

[Otis]

With a few exceptions, we’re in nightmare territory with this squad. We’re simply not good/strong/fast enough.

We look completely clueless at times, with and without the ball.

Losing possession a lot with reckless dribbles and sloppy passing.

 

[Matt smith]

Hahaha I love how everyone reaches regular Smith levels of depression only to find you've now gone to the next level.

Sorry mate I’m just fucking hurting

 

[Shannerz]

My personal take , albeit on fleeting performances , is that Torp , Yerenkyi and Rudi is our best midfield three .

I agree. Torp has to play over Grimes. He has to.

 

[Deleted member 3487]

Listen I am certain as anything we’re going down. As a fanbase we just have to grit our teeth for the next nine months and get behind them as much as possible. It’s no fun, but won’t last forever.

 

[Macca]

I'll keep hoping that this is temporary and each game will be a turning point otherwise might as well pack it in. That said I see nothing to suggest we are equipped for the PL and I suspect anyone in the top half of the Championship would fancy their chances against us at the moment

 

[procdoc]

Well I can safely say all of my pre-season excitement has evaporated

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

As a collective, we run around like headless chickens. Villa dealt with everything we gave them without breaking a sweat. We are terrifyingly off the level

 

[Matt smith]

I agree. Torp has to play over Grimes. He has to.

Torp played well tonight to be fair

 

[Shannerz]

Losing possession a lot with reckless dribbles and sloppy passing.

There's no composure, which is a symptom of panicking about not getting results.

 

[TomRad85]

Sorry mate I’m just fucking hurting

I'm already nearly past that. I'm at embarrassed, approaching acceptance that its done already.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Douglas, you have to own your part in this crap. Being a tightarse on wages has kneecapped recruitment and this is the consequence.

Yeah, this is a bigger worry. Don’t get the yo-yo feel from us, but I guess you wouldn’t at this point.

He bought our stadium back haha

It is done already mate.

It’s just about trying to get the odd win

 

[baldy]

If Forest run riot on Saturday I think FL will be in deep doo doo tbh

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He bought our stadium back haha

He bought Gus purely for the merch sales

Tbf, they were very lucky not to concede more in the first half.

Only Thomas knows what he was thinking, and the keeper was beaten before the ball hit Yirenkyi.

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

Thank god we’re out.

 

[larry_david]

What i csnt work out is why every game this season we've cleared a long ball. They've won one big header over our midfield and sudden they're 3 on 2 on our defence

It's literally happened every game!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It is done already mate.

It’s just about trying to get the odd win

It’s all about reaching 12 points

 

[Deleted member 3487]

He bought Gus purely for the merch sales

Evidence for that?

 

[Otis]

I'm already nearly past that. I'm at embarrassed, approaching acceptance that its done already.

Welcome to the club.

I had that before the season kicked off, so am all pretty much chilled about it all.

3 or 4 more games and we should play the kids.

 

[Matt smith]

It’s all about reaching 12 points

Yeah agreed mate

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Evidence for that?

Well he hasnt bought him for his impact on the pitch

 

[Saddlebrains]

I think we'll likely go down as one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

I think the worst. We will beat Derbys record at this rate

 

[Tommo1993]

Torp had a good game

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think the worst. We will beat Derbys record at this rate

Southampton were nailed on to beat it two seasons ago and scraped past it. Bad recruitment and honking tactical approach: sound familiar?

 

[Shannerz]

How many shirts do you have to sell for £6m and whatever we're paying him?

It looks a strange signing now, though.

 

[TomRad85]

It is done already mate.

It’s just about trying to get the odd win

I wonder if Derby fans want us to beat the record or if they secretly want to hold onto it. After such a long time I assume they just laugh about it so would be a shame to take it from them.

And I have no doubt that Cherif is going to be a player in 1-2 years time, we could have signed someone proben like Flemming for same price.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Yes he was ace. If Grimes starts over him on Saturday it's all fucking over

 

[Shannerz]

We have a tactical approach?
