How on earth is this man still in the job Lost 14 of the last 15 games Scored 4 and conceded 37 in those 15 Last scored a goal on the 26th January, 8 games ago Last scored a home goal 8th December, close to 5 months now If you take out the first 2 games (which seems like a an extreme outlier given what has followed) we have an xg of 11.25 in 15 games, the next lowest is Southampton on 14.30 We have 0 clean sheets in 17 games under him. There is absolutely nothing remotely competent, we can't score goals, we can't create chances, we can't defend, his tactics are shit, his substitutions even worse He leaves me longing for the glory days of Steve Cooper when we were just shit, not historically shit

Realistically he should never step foot on the pitch for us again, he is absolutely ****ing useless

Can't believe we are playing useless shite like Daka but won't give any opportunities to any of our exciting attackers in the academy, they literally could not be worse than him

u18s lost 4-3 to Arsenal, were 3-0 and 4-1 down, scored twice in injury time to get it back to 4-3 Will Daniels scored twice, Canadian left back/left wing back/left mid from what I can see Hutchinson scored again (again in injury time) and got an assist as well, up to 10 goals for the season now, 8 goals and 2 assists in his last 7 games Another benefit of giving Evans some time in the first team squad would be giving Hutchinson a chance to be involved with the u21s

U18s 1-0 down to Arsenal at the moment 14 year old Darren Motsi on the bench, has impressed with England u15s recently scoring and assisting against Turkey last month

as you say that they have gone 4-3 up in the 90th minute Although I wouldn't be surprised to see it finish 4-4 still

3-3, just conceded twice in 3 minutes

I've always said this, against West Ham we had Okoli and Coady on the bench and also both Winks and Skipp, Winks and Skipp are basically the exact same player and it just seems completely pointless to have both on there. How many times do we really need to sub on 2 centre backs in a game. There is never really an excuse to not be having an academy graduate on the bench, it should be a point of pride to be giving opportunities to them and showing that there is a route, we aren't expecting them to throw half the u18s side into the starting lineup, but at least be giving them chances. We have lost 11 of our last 12 games scoring 4 and conceding 31. It's not like giving academy players 30 minutes here and there is going to reduce the quality much, we are already absolute dross

Finished 4-3, Lorenz Hutchinson scored the 4th in added time, still time for Brighton to get it back to 4-3 even later in added time though

U18s are 3-1 up at halftime away to Brighton Aideed, Akolbire, and Owusu with the goals

It's the predictably bad decisions that are the criminal ones. People mentioning Kaputska and Benkovic, I have no issue with those kind of signings, taking a punt on a high potential youngster, yeah it didn't work out but the process is fine. It's the Choudhury/James/Vestegaard/Insert whatever other dumb contract extensions we have given out, that are the biggest issues for me, at the time everyone knew they were bad decisions. Everyone knew Ward wasn't good enough to be first choice, it was obvious that we needed to strengthen in January in both seasons when we finished 5th, it was obvious that Rodgers' race was run and he should have been sacked months before he finally was. If any randomer on here could see these being bad decisions then it is absolutely scandalous that the DoF was unable to

Played about 350 minutes in the league all season, last started December 14th, hasn't played a minute since rejecting the bid and hasn't even made the bench in the last 2 games Club is clueless in so many aspects it's beyond a joke

Pretty sure he got a goal and assist for England u15s against Turkey a week or two ago

4-2 up at half time after going down 2-1 inside 4 minutes Lorenz Hutchinson x2, Akolbire, and Owusu with the goals Monga has an assist

For any morons out there that think VAR should be done away with, this is why it is needed, if you give the incompetent ****s a second chance to make a decision then at least half the time they get it right

Brighton are absolutely horrendous here, just no semblance of a structure

Our striker and 2 wingers genuinely have a combined age of 102

As far as I know he can't go to another English team and I can't imagine there are teams outside England queuing up to take him on loan

I'd expect Cover in the squad tomorrow then, otherwise I'd have expected to see him playing here

were 2-0 down at half time as well, scored all 4 in a 13 minute spell in the second half

So gave him a new contract, then decide not to play him and loan him out to the Championship in January? Cracking business again from the masterminds running this club

If we are desperately relying on one of those three to win a game against bloody QPR then we might as well jack in the competition anyway

If there isn't a single youngster in the academy that he rates enough to get on the bench for an FA Cup tie against a Championship side then there needs to be a serious enquiry into the state of the academy

I get this, but literally what is the point in having Choudhury or BDCR or Thomas on the bench, could easily find place for a couple of youngsters on the bench and still also play a strong first 11, they aren't mutually exclusive events, both can happen

The numbers regarding goals conceded down our right hand side are absolutely absurd, he's a complete ****ing liability yet starts every week
