Collymore

Probably one of the most influential amazing performances I've ever witnessed. IF we get promoted, I'll look back on that masterclass today as a hinge point. It's a bit like the opposite of the penalty miss from Madders - when the dust settles, you realise just how important the moment is. That performance was absolutely insane - you sometimes question if there's a £50m player in there with the right set up...

How do we know? None of us were there.

I thought April 1st had gone?

...but the KP is full most weeks. It's more the old school true fans are the ones that are giving up which is so sad.

I try to be rational with this, not give 1s. I treat it a bit like Champ Man, think the lowest ever rating I ever saw was a keeper on 3 after conceding 10. I gave Daka a 3, the lowest I think I've ever given.

Teams are picking us off with the quick transition as we have no defensive shape with this inverted full back. How about having a fairly orthodox shape we can fall in to where the players will all know what to do. How about getting fullbacks overlapping? How about not playing 'la pause" for a change and give the opposition no chance to reset. The amount of times recently we gain back possession unexpectedly and then wait for every player get back into shape is ridiculous. How about loading the box for a long throw every now and then. How about starting with experience - Coady and Albrighton. How about trying two strikers together?

The warning signs have been there for a while. It's weird how many of us could forsee this but Enzo couldn't. He's the most blinded stubborn man I've ever seen. Inexperienced, yes compared to Roy Hodgson- but he's been in football as a player and coach for a long time still so you expect at least some common sense. Even the average bloke could see he needed to be adaptable - so why couldn't he? He even talked about being adaptable at the start of the season. It's madness.

You know that sound of when the air starts to get pulled down the plug hole just before all the water is gone? Yeah - that!

...but we haven't moved on. We have regressed both on the field and off it. Big Nige is everything Enzo could only dream of becoming and sadly we probably don't deserve him with Rudders still at the helm.

Never do a poll when emotions are running high, unless you want a certain result of course.

He's making Rodgers look like Alex Ferguson.

There are a number of players I think deserve the chop but for me, Ndidi needs to be the change tonight. He's been absolutely rancid since returning from injury.

Can't believe Enzo is complaining about scheduling. A flexible manager could get two teams from our squad promoted, that might mean playing different styles V different teams mind.

These teams in and around the relegation zone are a nightmare to play. It's like their cup final. I remember when we went down to L1, the games towards the end became so focused compared to the mindless drivel we served up earlier on in the campaign.

TIFO to FO in 2 months. 2 MONTHS!!!!

For a moment I thought I was on for my first ever 1 but in true Wordle style was hanging on for a 6! Wordle 1,026 6/6 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

...well I can ignore it as it's a completely normal part of the game. Just like Haaland has his fair share of stinkers. Trying to compare Daka with Vardy though is completely out of order and ridiculous.

I was saying why I thought he might have made the comments of only being 10% of where he thought we could be. He probably had a number of signings lined up in January - unless he was really overestimating his coaching abilities and the current player potential.

Why you dragging the GOAT into this? Completely unnecessary. Yes, the stiker in Enzo's teams aren't ever going to be the focal point, but Vardy is 1000x the striker Daka will ever be unfortunately

I think he was told he would have a chance of getting some new players in in January that obviously didn't materialise. We haven't looked right since and there seems to be an undercurrent of bad mood with him. I believe it stems from false truths when he joined and probably can ultimately be blamed on Rudders.

Those bloody one twos straight after KO on the edge of the centre circle. They just sum the frustration up for me at the moment. I wouldn't mind, but we do it every bloody time without any variation. I get it's to bring the opposition players out to make space, but it's all too preprogrammed and they even carry on doing without any time with two Millwall beefcakes barrelling down on them. We need to mix it up more.

I'm on the Millwall commentary. Sounds like an episode of Only Fools and Horses.
