Lascelles looks good. Was nice to have Skipp back as he definitely tries. 
 

Ricardo can’t just play because he’s captain and BDCR needs to be fired out of a cannon into the sun for being such a moron (like Okoli last week)

 

Outside of that stupid Ricky mistake I don’t think we defended awfully but everything is out the window when you’re 1-0 down after two minutes and down to ten men after 30. 
 

New manager, Lascelles captain, all the new faces up to speed and our current FBs “accidentally” locked in a storage container and shipped off to Guatemala (ideally with Winks and Ayew too) and we might be alright. 

He's cute ain't he.

 

Just what we need during a crisis, a nice little tryer.

At least he tries. There's precious few in this squad who do, and that's why we look so ****ing awful.

We are now officially in free fall. With no manager, no plan, a team low on confidence and looking lost. I say get both dean smith and Martin O’Neil to steady the ship and survive the drop this season. We have seriously lost our way and need some Devine intervention.

O'Neill is managing Celtic

The first goal could have been avoided if Thomas just punts the ball forwards into their goal area instead of squaring it on the halfway line.  Ricardo was always going to turn back because he hasn't done anything remotely interesting since the two goals at the start of the season when he came off the bench.  Not fit to be the captain as he isn't a leader.  Sad that t here is no difference between Thomas and Ricardo, bring cowards on both sides that keep causing problems.

 

Crap tactics that the manager and the coaching staff could avoid if they actually did anything. 

 

Do we technically need a manager? Just get a PT from Puregym to run training sessions and get some fitness back into the team.

The tactics seemed a bit shit to me Bergovic launching it long at every opportunity to Paston Shitter who can't head it or stay on his feet and if he does get a chance to control it his first touch is a pass and his second touch is a tackle.  We need a new manager ASAP.

Well it’s either that or he doesn’t try and everyone slanders him.

Read this in the style of Phil Daniels in parklife

only 15 points off the playoffs!

Top and Rudkin leading us into div1

It’s self explanatory, if you consider who the teams were in at bottom end of the table earlier in the season 

So who then if it’s self explanatory?

We've got to try something new and put Richards up front or something. I even thought Daka, for the little he did, at least pressed! As for BDCR, we have Page and now Makusa available to play there. They cannot be worse.

 

No manager I would want long term is going to come right now, so maybe Rowett, Dean Smith, just someone with experience galvanising a group fighting against relegation...I don't honestly know who would actually come now. It's no longer just a poisoned chalice, it's gone full toxic if you ask me. 

Rowett sacked by Oxford, failed at Stoke with big egos, he would rubber stamp relegation imo. Dean Smith I’d take but in all seriousness it’s got to be someone who can make a difference, I’m not sure the clubs leaders have it in them. The current mess is all Martis doing we’ve been getting worse week on week since he’s been here and it’s going to take a bit of time to fix that, the poor discipline is another indicator of general malaise 

 

Players wise, the 2 young lads were never the answer. Stupid by the club to put them in the position. They looked like boys list amongst men today, they need time and patience which we don’t have

Tbf we saw some progress - didn't get a sending off until 30 minutes, which was a lot better than last week.

Are you asking who has improved or who the manager should be? Because it appeared you were asking who has improved.

[Headcase]

And again its the seasoned pro's that have let us down again,  theres a reason we got relegated last season...

Birmingham had 22 shots, and just 6 on goal. Count your lucky blessings, they suck at finding the net.

We defended awfully; Geriatric goalkeeper saved us from total annihilation.

What a shit show this has become.

Who the manager is going to be who can turn this lot around, and who the absolute morons running the club may consider

Like Pereira and BDCR?

The problem is mate, how many of them are leaders/captain material. Ricardo imo has proved he doesn’t fit that standard this season. Neither do Vestergaard, Choudhury, Winks, BDCR and Ayew. When we had success, we had the perfect leadership group, now we’ve completely fvcked it and assembled a bunch of unlikeable pricks.

I thought Nelson and especially Lascelles were good. They were just under intense pressure because of the full backs (among others).

[Analysethis]

Its so frustrating. Riccardo gifts them a goal. We then finally showed some quality by battling back, equalizing and for a while looked the better team before we get a man sent off. From that point it seemed like its only a matter of time before the oppo got a winner.

 

We seemed to be doomed whatever we do.

 

We need a new manager to get us ready for next season starting now. 

[Pliskin]

The club has been in free fall for a couple of years now, temporarily arrested by Enzo. Nothing will prevent this free fall from continuing under the reign of Khunt Top. 
 

The three teams to go down will be Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn, and ourselves.

 

The three worst ran clubs in the league, possibly the country. You can’t function on the pitch, if you’re not functioning off it. 
 

Over the last few weeks we’ve just had confirmation of our lunatic owner who seemingly is unable to understand the gravity of the situation we’re in, and this will just continue to get worse and worse, until he has gone, be it forced out or administration. 

[kingpowerout]

Every single opposition manager now tactically targets Thomas and Ricardo…oh and it’s working

Instead of....?

Could have picked either of the new lads or Page instead of Reid, and Aluko instead of Ricardo

[Paninistickers]

Well, 90% of posters on here pre match were praising the line up. 

 

Same formation, downgrade of winks to Aribo, physically feeble players in Reid, Ricky and Thomas. Why were so many happy at the start? The selection and tactics were as obvious as they were painful. 

 

The definition of madness.
