Was Anderson on the pitch today not giving a shit? Not tracking back, not giving it 100%?

The problem with me is that I have eyes, and I saw a lack of fight and effort today that wasn't good enough.

Which could all have come from the sane root cause - Anderson meddling.

I don't know whether he is or whether he is not...it could all have gone a bit wrong since he settled in purely by coincidence.

And you wonder why people call you a SISU apologist. FFS.

Anyway I'm done talking with you on this thread. You're an idiot. Get back to selling your cheap pickey tat from Asda.

You just alienated yourself. An awful lot of people rely on such "tat" from Asda

I saw some kids on the park sulking and their performances were why should I give a fuck, where Was Hunt where was Henderson for fuck sake they have had a two week break. Henderson would have thrived out there today they had a make shift back 4 , Sorry to say TM got it wrong today he should have played two up front today and use the pretty footballers to come on after 60 mins if we needed to change. They had a winger playing at full back and TM did not put someone on to pressure his position and instead the twat was allowed to come down un hindered. TM got it all wrong!!!!

Henderson's wife was having a baby I believe. You surely don't want to blame TM for that do you?

The bloke can't win. If we had changed the side yesterday and we had lost, people would be on here screaming that Mowbray doesn't know what he's doing, making changes to a line up that last time out won 6-0.

SISU have put millions in. SISU have behaved like prats. We've lost control ( or the option to control ) of the stadium. But. We are now - as far we know - not bleeding money. We have an experienced manager and some good players. We are in the top 6 - just. Anderson is working on what is best for the future e.g. Renting or owning the stadium - which is the best option for the next 10 years- and how we would cope in the championship. Given our history, we do have ambition relative to our position at the start of the season. So, imo, neither SISU nor Anderson are responsible for the dip in form. We don't have that many options as a League 1 club without a sugar daddy. We don't know what is happening between the players. JM sold JOB pushed out. Maybe there is disagreement with TM? No idea, but they seem to be less motivated ( according to all reports on here ).TM has got to get them going again - regardless of SISU, Anderson or anyone else in the club.

This is true. No use moaning about anything. We can still do this.

Yup.

FWIW I'm of the school of thought that we stopped Lameiras's progression by dropping him seemingly on a whim, we also seemed to antagonise O'Brien by pulling him in and out of the side, seemingly without rhyme or reason.

Therefore, to my mind, keeping a settled side after a big win is no bad thing. It's easy to say with hindsight, but I can safely say that of the players we have, I'd have picked that side yesterday too.

Of course now after a poor display, he's entirely right to make changes! But reward success, punish failure.

Fact not myth: We have been very average since Kent left.May have been raw but had pace to burn.One more thing,has JM ever turned in a MOTM performance? I can't think of one.One thing I do know is that he can go missing in games and remember this is league one not the PL.

What Kent gave the team was greater space in the middle. Other teams were so scared of his pace and skill they double marked him leaving fleck and arma and the rest greater freedom.

Murphy is key player

On his day he is, like lots of other players. Don't see people complain when he does score and change a game like he has on a few occasions this season.

Steven Pressley is a rubbish manager

Yes he is. One game doesn't make him a good manager.

We've got a team full of boys with a lack of battle or passion. If we manage to get to the playoffs, this will be our shortcoming.

Oh, and Maddison has turned into some sort of jessy.

Disagree they lack battle or passion. I think the season is catching up with them. No player can play well every game.

I thought they lacked battle and passion yesterday, as they have done in the games we were leading that have turned into draws.

It might have only been one game yesterday, but to have SP tactically winning over Tony Mowbray, a supposed manager that is too good for this league you have to give him a little bit of credit. I'll agree that there were dark times when he was here, and the constant defending of players towards the end of his time was embarrassing, but he certainly isn't a rubbish manager. The season at Sixfields was very professional and the way he conducted himself and motivated the players was good.

With Murphy the problem is that it has been on too few occasions.
