If the new guy comes in and still plays Latibeaudiere then it’ll be a laugh.

I don’t mind him playing in defence if his instructions involve him barely trying to play football.

Midfield though…

The biggest problem is we have spent pretty much all our money on a bunch of really really average players. A very big hole for a new manager to get out of.
Robins has a lot of responsibility for that.

Nothing to lose now second half. Make changes to shape and personnel and hope to not lose the half.
Doug please announce new manager (head coach) tomorrow or Monday latest.

BTA is the player you bring in against a tired side in the second half. He was anonymous on Tuesday and the same today. No criticisms of his work rate but need to be used correctly.

I agree. I like him, he’s a great athlete. But with limited football ability.

I actually don't think we've been too bad. Both good goals. Rudoni has bee disappointing. Can't blame Collins for either goal.

I would bring on Norman at HT.

Doug has nowhere to hide. He’s forced a defining moment and put his plums on the slab.

They’ll either get kissed or stamped on.

Yeah Torp did well, rats back which is what was missing when he first arrived. Rudoni has been far less effective this match

Just watched it back, any championship keeper is saving that second goal. Good height, barley had to move for it either.

We spend a lot of money on average players and playing a formation where we have our big money signing EMC and our most technical player in Sakamoto sat on the bench whilst we have a CB playing in midfield. The whole transfer strategy and execution was shocking

BTA is a league one player, which I claimed a couple of months back. Runs around a lot but does nothing with it and technically poor.

Expected, but still…very, very worrying.

For all the hype, the new infrastructure and the fancy job titles, we are failing to deliver on the pitch through a lack of leadership and players that clearly do not want to wear the shirt.

Can’t really express how badly I can see this season going, unless we have a tremendous ‘new manager bounce’ from whoever comes in.

Really missing Eccles and to a lesser extent sheaf in the middle and Simms up front. Not sure it would’ve been much different with Robins in charge. Loose defending and punished. Story of our season

Robins isn't responsible for the club missing out on 2 more midfielders is he ? He isn't responsible for the recruitment leaving holes in the squad , he's not responsible for a transfer policy which includes no loans and nobody over the age of fucking 25 seemingly

I agree and think Collins was out of position for it - probably expecting him to square it.

The irony is, this would have happened if Robins hadn't been sacked. It's a very similar performance to most this season.

Sunderland are miles ahead. Have they spent £45m?

Usually bang up for playing this lot… They’re bullying us and I couldn’t care less

Just trying to rack my brains as to how this season has become such a car crash

Get a new manager in asap and go from scratch

Rudoni doesn’t play with anything like the intensity of O’Hare, we have no-one capable of linking the play at speed. He’s got a great delivery on him but I don’t see what he offers beyond that.

I’m genuinely baffled at the people who think we don’t have any quality. We’ve got largely the same squad that finished 9th last season and should’ve done better. O’Hare is the only real loss. We’ve added a few.

This is it 100%. Everyone including me got excited because we were spending more than 2 quid. Sadly we got dine

Is it ? We never played like this in 3 of the last 4 matches

Robins doesn't negotiate fees and he doesn't identify the players
