I'm just sick of hating my team.

I will never have the mental strength to face my comments on him in his first two months. What an absolute twat.

A million miles out. But I hope the majority of these players follow. This will never change until the ownership changes.

We have to beat someone in a pressure game for that to happen. I'm just so fed up. How much worse can things actually get?

Correct. This is my moan. It's not dissimilar to Rodgers' moaning about the conditions against Brentford last season when he made one sub. He's chosen to not use lots of the squad and rotate despite doing so earlier in the season, despite a largely rotated side winning at Bournemouth. I can't escape the idea he's lost the enthusiasm for this. Probably quite easy to when you see some of the shitshow going on.

I do agree with this and think most of our fans do. I don't think we as a fanbase react to slow tempo football in the stands at all.

Albeit they sacked their manager in that time. Foster was a disaster appointment from Plymouth. Quite a similar situation to Millwall funnily enough where they went for an old England youth coach midseason and he downturned them significantly. Their fans really hated him. 4 points from 2 games since sacking albeit one was against a dire Rotherham, and they were apparently pretty awful at home to QPR.

How does he do it? This bloke has some sort of hex over people.

Need to somehow try and get other accounts. That's my next play. I'm using a mates currently but this'll no doubt have the same treatment after a few more hundred is won. Bit of a shitter that they banned it on a Thursday too. They've usually been banning people on Mondays so you at least get a weekend to go all guns blazing at them.

I'll be honest I stuck a fiver on draw or Garcilago at 2-1 just for the guaranteed win. I've dodged a bullet there I think. Absolutely awful from Lanus. But we're there, a nice pot to play with and even better, on a weekend where I can actually get on the 3pms because I'm not watching Leicester die in front of me.

They've won 2-1 but my god. How have they made such hard work of that? They're dreadful. I think my luck's definitely turned for the better here. I rushed the bet because I wanted to get Atalanta on and just threw the first four short priced sides I found. They have recently lost games while priced at 1.17 and 1.50. They're bad favourites. I don't think I'd have had them if I'd looked into it. We're back in the game with a pot to play with. I nearly had to send my mate another £50.

Atalanta are what we ought to be. They've really rebuilt well. I'm amazed nobody bigger ever took a punt on Gasperini.

Lanus 1.17 to win prematch and now the other side have had a red card after 13 minutes. Honestly I think I'm done if this loses. They ought to win it 3-0 minimum.

I thought I'd completely lucked it, I did Atalanta on a freeze totally forgetting that I was playing football later. Got to half time in my game and Atalanta went 0-1 up immediately. Ended up being a waste of a freeze. I just need Lanus now to basically make the money I've lost back on this account. Lanus being 1.17 to win the game - will no doubt ****ing draw I'd cash out but the offers are just insulting. £83 win overall and I'm offered £60 for a 1.17. They're even worse than 365 this lot.

Blackburn - another where an utter crap kick off time wrecked a potentially massive end. I know we often take dog ends when there are loads but they're usually for big glory hunter cup ties rather than niche fixtures like this, Blackburn or Wigan (exact same happened when we played them away years ago). I think we'll take about 4k - unless we can confirm promotion or something.

The scheduling moaning as well. Give it a rest with this. We've got how big an advantage over the others already and he's pointing to the same things that everyone in the league has to play with. Really have gone off him in recent weeks. Just don't think he's the man at all.

I think our recruitment is quite mish mash even now though. I can only conclude the likes of Souttar and Coady were bought in spite of this type of football rather than because of it, and both have been frozen out as a result. I know people point to Vestergaard regarding Coady and I do get that, but he just clearly doesn't fancy Coady at all. Souttar was a ridiculous signing within the paradigm of playing a dogmatic technical style. I feel whoever we appoint should be able to get him to work at this level in spite of this. It's the perfect case study of our inefficiency as a club and the root of why we're now in the shit.

Massive game. Their fans are very downbeat themselves and we really, really should be winning it but you really can't be sure anymore after watching the last few away games. We've also got a weirdly awful record at Plymouth. I think if we drop this we will blow promotion. I know we have the extra game and the breathing room but I really don't trust us against some better sides with the pressure on. Just get out of there with a win and pretend this shitshow never happened.

70 points and they think they're hard done to lucky to finish 3rd.

Honestly with the pathetic attitude we had last night it really was as if "ah well we have a game spare we can toss this off" and they've got it back, so I fully expect a repeat at Plymouth.

Leicester with the Championship trophy in May.

Said it in another thread - it's as if he's downloaded a tactic on FM and stuck it on holiday mode for 9 months.

I'm generally quite critical of our fans and lack of atmosphere but I agree on both this and the Bristol City games.

It's all efficiency for me. Is Maresca efficient with this squad? Absolutely not. Less so by the week. There are completely unfashionable managers out there who could've done more with this squad. I'm adamant of it by this point. It suits all parties for him to go in the summer regardless of how this ends up. We've not going to be able to support what he wants and needs, and he isn't going to be able to use what we've got.

Mavididi annoyed me far less than a lot of other players last night. He wasn't good but he was the only one trying to actually make anything happen. Often led down blind alleys though. I cut the wingers quite a bit of slack in this system.
