Any half decent DOF would have sorted this out though. Full pressure on his agent and active work to get him out of the club.

22 games without a clean sheet is unacceptable at whatever level of the game you compete. He can't even organise the defence.

Agree. Was our beloved DOF there tonight? Our owner wasn't, surprise surprise.

I think this is actually a worrying possibility in the short to medium term. With no money, useless recruitment department and a hopeless DOF the future looks pretty bleak for the next 5 or so years.

Spot on. Players like Coatsworth epitomise that period for me. They were very limited but as you say they always tried their best and worked hard. I'm not seeing that right now. Feel for the younger players who have poor role models to look up to and respect.

This was the biggest takeaway from the whole match for me. We know we are poor but this really demonstrates bigger problems within the team than perhaps are obvious on the surface. There's just no team spirit at all, no cohesiveness. It is like the players are just playing for themselves and not for a team at all. The goal we conceded was terrible. Ultimately the keeper is to blame but it all stems from the fact that the press is all wrong and disjointed leading to players being out of position and not able to track back. Otherwise it is just the same old issues time and time again which the manager and his team seem unable to address. The passing is too slow. Playing out from the back nearly always ends up with the ball with Okoli who clearly doesn't know what to do with it. Ricardo is, sadly, finished at this level. We are so narrow that any team that moves the ball wide quickly exposes us each time they do it. Without James we have basically no attacking options in midfield Ayew is a major problem. We can't press properly from the front because he is just too slow. We're too predictable and I really can't say what our style of play is except woeful. There's no point in bringing Monga on if the only passes we're going to give him are with his back to goal or over his head.. He needs quick ball to be able to run onto. Page looks a good prospect but like Monga he's young and raw and we can't expect them to turn things around on their own. The senior players need to start playing for the club and show some desire and leadership on the pitch. Can they do it? I don't think so. Finally the manager needs to go. I'd say now but definitely in the summer. He's just not up to it.

When was the last time he attended a game?

Don't forget penalties don't count though.

Suppose that's saved it being fed to the stewards next match.

I suspect you may think the moon is made of cheese or that the world is flat.

Respect needs to be earned. I'm not sure passing the ball a few yards to a team mate who then scores a goal from nowhere is really enough on its own. Sadly his performances since have not improved and he's been largely terrible this season. I'm not saying he doesn't try but he isn't good enough. I'm sure Ben Chilwell was so affected by fans that his decision to leave was not at all influenced by the massive increase in his pay packet he received. Yesterday Fatawu was completely ineffective until the 95th minute. This isn't a personal attack on him but he really was. He scored a great goal but otherwise did very little. This is fan's forum/message board where people express opinions. Sometimes they won't agree with you but that is the nature of this sort or forum. I wouldn't take some comments too seriously.

He was terrible last night. Probably the worst player on the pitch. He's the complete opposite of a good technical footballer and the epitome of a player who isn't that good but tries to make up for it with effort. He's only being picked because the options we have in that position are either injured or currently even worse than Hamza.

Well the Polo had to come first and then something else more important than the club I guess.

Sounds like you would like to see some change? So what would you do to get the change required?

And then the other side of the coin is that it might work out ok. I don't know how fit he is or whether he just won't be able to do anything but if the guy has put in the work on his recovery and wants to get back into the game then I'd say good for him. Pearson built a side based on players who had seen better days or failed at other clubs and it worked out pretty well. Maybe he could add some steel and determination to a side that clearly lacks both. Depends what is on offer really but a short terms contract on lowish wages may just be worth it. January is a hard time to buy players, especially strikers, unless you have a lot of cash to spend which we clearly do not. The other thing to consider is that we are not an especially attractive option right now. Uncertainty over the manager, uncertainty over any potential points deduction and little money to play with.

Sometimes change can only be made by protest. I don't believe vocal protests have much effect to be honest. I'm guessing our owner, chairman and CEO will be boycotting the match. Or maybe he will start having an interest once again. Obviously entirely your choice to turn up but people can boycott in lots of ways. Don't buy a programme, don't go into the club shop don't buy any food for eg. Imagine for one night only nobody bought anything in the club shop, a programme, or any food. I think that would be a pretty strong message. Maybe you don't anyway. I love this club and supported it for more years than I care to recall but right now there is gross mismanagement going on and change needs to happen and quickly. Either the owners need to sell up or wake up. Hopefully this boycott will be just the start. As to supporting those on the pitch, fair enough, I don't think you will find many of them care two hoots whether you support them or not. Loyalty to a club and its fan base is pretty much extinct now.

Well we could try playing 3-5-2. Especially as get dominated in midfield far too often. Maybe try anybody on the left they simply can't be any worse can they?

Pretty much agree with all of this.

This looks really concerning. Hard to think of any positives from tonight. Nelson looked ok and I'd stick with him and Okoli. The keeper looks shot of confidence, doesn't seem able to catch the ball, doesn't command his area and his distribution is terrible. Thomas at fullback needs dropping. Ricardo was out of position so often it was unbelievable. He can't play that position any more but could be ok actually in midfield. Defensively we are a complete mess at set pieces. I thought Hamza actually did quite well in midfield and played with more intensity than either Reid or Skipp who were both woeful tonight. Mavididi was pathetic and Fatawu not much better. The experiment of playing Silko through the middle didn't work. largely because he got no service or support at all from the midfield. Page and Monga again looked decent but it is too much to expect players of such limited match playing experience to dig us out the hole we are in. We have no identity as a side at all and that is down to the manager who needs to go. At the very least a good manager would make us hard to beat which currently we are not and we're shipping goals for fun. The options off the bench are so limited. A truly pathetic performance tonight.

Needs to be dropped from the squad for a good few weeks. Personally I'd stick him on the transfer list and accept any offer going. He isn't good enough and must be shot of confidence too. A complete liability.

Big opportunity but he did nothing!

Pathetic defending from Thomas!

No subs because it is working so well isn't it!

Both been terrible but so have several others.
