Here he comes to save the daaaaaayyy!

Rowett is going to need to fashion one hell of a rocket at half time to turn this around.

Bowcat? We all know what his dad was famous for...

He should have been the first out of the door, but at this point Top is equally to blame of course.

Stoke commentators "This might get quite fun." There is not another team in the football league, possibly even pyramid, that would have Stoke playing like this.

"We want Rudkin out, say we want Rudkin out!"

Uncoachable.

Even the Stoke commentators are shocked at how on the front foot they are...

These are absolute dogshit in absolute dogshit form just to be perfectly ****-ing clear. God knows what that makes us.

I literally cannot sit down before we've desperately thrown a game away anymore.

The difference is I'd back each of those teams against us even if we were level on points, let alone 4 to 7 points ahead as they are, whereas West Brom are the only other team genuinely as bad as us.

It's between us and West Brom now. We've just got to hope their gamble on an inexperienced soccer coach doesn't pay off and our safer bet does just enough. 🤞🍀🙏 We've been so lucky with the amount of other basket cases in the league this season and yet could still screw it up. 😩

You're correct not to have any confidence in us doing anything right. Hence me saying it's what we should have done. We wouldn't be in as much of a mess if we'd started with Nelson and Braybrooke from the off rather than persisting with Faes, Okoli, Winks, Soumare, etc.

True, but he should have been playing here, ideally after a successful loan spell prior. This season we've dropped to his level, or even below now, so he should have been involved. He for sure should be starting any game JJ isn't fit.

He's our second best centre mid behind Jordan James and ahead of Skipp. The fact that wantaway Winks and Soumare kept him out of the team is a stain on this club. Bring them all home and start playing them.

Nah, I doubt top will be able to stomach the style of football. He's only allowing it through gritted teeth now to save himself from the shitstorm that relegation will bring.

Yay - more uncertainty to somehow further upset the applecart... if that's at all possible. We're blatantly going into Blackburn Away not knowing if a win will keep us up or not, aren't we? 😆

I'm guessing (along with Top's delusions of grandeur that had him living in Enzo's answer machine for a few weeks) that this conflict was the reason for such a long delay. I'm assuming the penny has finally dropped somewhat and he will be left to do his thing his way until the end of the season, before Top gets to live back in his delusions again for another 6/9 months until relegation begins to luck inevitable again (from which division who knows).

In fairness? Even the most inept of leadership would have programmed a minimum of 6 points deducted (which we were remarkably lucky to get away with) into all of their planning models for this season. The points deduction didn't fall out of the sky to anyone but him, Rudkin & the KP Nutters.

I guess just an in depth understanding of the Championship and our current position within it is 1 up on what we had prior to his ineptly laboured appointment. Fingers crossed he's the right man at the right time. 🤞🍀🙏

Sounds like the 3+ week wait was devoted entirely to sending love letters to Enzo then. Oh well. Only a few games thrown. 🤦‍♂️ Are we going to officially announce it at any point, or are we going to eff this up as well?

He isn't a manager and there is no reasonable expectation that he would be though. He has been making the exact sort of decisions and mistakes you'd expect from an inexperienced coach that's been thrown in at the deep end as a manager. He only started Ayew today because the only other option is Daka who played 85 minutes on Tuesday. We've barely got the staff to coach a new system into them and it would be a brave change to make in a relegation battle. Not to mention we can't go 4-4-2 because we only have the two aforementioned pony strikers, so what even could the change be? He's being hung out to dry by our incompetent clown show of an ownership.

King is blameless and will remain blameless. He is just firefighting for scum and scummer who are leveraging his love for the club. If he feels the need to stay and fight whilst no one else is around to do so, then fair enough, if he decides to quit and expose the house of cards above him, then fair enough.

Good point actually. I've changed my mind. I want Sadler for the next few games then when he throws the towel in, and there is literally no body left, Rudkin is forced to get his tracksuit back on and stand on the touchline for the game we get relegated in. It would be worth it just for the dogs abuse he would get.

I don't think it's any secret that he has been hung out to dry by incompetent owners here though. He should still be running our youth teams and working his way up and anyone of any substance would know this.
