Carrick is cooked here. The team have given up and chucked him under the bus well and truly tonight.

Is there a more pointless footballer than Joshua Zirkzee?* *Not including most Leicester City players between 2022-2026

Thought we were excellent. Fair play to Russell and the players Need to see some serious consistency now. As good as we were, Bromley were shocking.

Not followed the match thread, so sorry if this point has been made several times, but I've been pleased and relieved to see us play quite a few long, diagonal balls tonight and actually mix up the play a lot more than we have been.

Hard to criticise the performance so far. We've been very good With better finishing, we could easily be 5 up at half time at least.

Would be happy with Challinor or Edwards, preferably Challinor. We shouldn't touch Lennon with a bargepole. Hard no on that one.

The modern game is so much about athleticism and power. We're 5 years behind. We have a distinct lack of pace, power and athleticism. We've got technical players but that's not enough anymore.

Florian Wirtz isn't actually very good is he?

We definitely cannot afford to stick with him. The cost of not getting rid of him could be far higher.

Yes

I love the phrase "relegated on merit'

I'm still convinced that Leicester Tigers are wondering when their new Italian flanker is going to turn up. I swear he arrived at the wrong stadium and we've just stuck with him for some unknown reason.

The thing that really gets me is the man's complete lack of professional pride. I find it amazing that someone can be as objectively terrible at their job and fail so spectacularly by every metric and just carry on. I understand that he gets mega money, but I honestly don't think I could live with myself if I was that bad at my job. I would step down because I have some pride in what I do.

I hate to say it, but his performance reminded me a bit of Vontae Daley-Campbell against Arsenal a few years back, when he looked so uncomfortable and frankly miles off the required standard. Hopefully yesterday was just a bad day, and as others have said, he was in a joke back 4 alongside two absolutely dud centre halves. His attitude seems spot on, which is good.
