Be great if those stats were permanently on the big screens throughout the last 2 home games.

this is the protest... Hack the screens... run this (and a couple of other things) on the screens

Truly deserving to go down even without the points deduction.

 

A horrible, gutless, cowardly group of players.

 

I think the only one who doesn't come out of this with his reputation tarnished is Ricardo. His legs have clearly gone, he's had multiple long-term injuries, but he keeps showing up and being asked to play a role he can no longer do.

On the plus side, we've won the last 5 games on xG.

There should be a Daka/Ayew correction by which we start on minus 10 each game 

[CrazyKopCorner]

The stats just back up what your eyes are showing and your brain is telling you. 

 

These players are work shy shitesters 

 

There is deep decay within the whole club which starts from the Top and all of it needs to be cut away if we are going to make any real positive change

What I will never understand is what someone who can do something well, but makes a conscious decision not to, thinks they are getting out of it. This squad is disliked and will have bad reputations forever - wouldn’t they have been better off just working hard all season?

 

People say it’s because the players don’t care - and I agree - but this shit show of a season negatively affects them too. They don’t care about the club, or the fans, but surely they care about their own sense of self-worth, not to mention future earning potential?

 

I just don’t understand the psychology of it. 

[FoxFossil]

Interesting to watch Spurs game and new manager. Players really trying and manager saying he won't pick players with bad attitude. Take note Gary.

Comparisons with Cov are a little unfair.  We were an established Premier League club, falling from grace and dealing with the financial legacy that brings, whilst hoping (that's hoping, not planning btw) that a swift return to the PL will maintain the wage bill.  Crashing into League 1 is a disaster, burdened with a huge wage bill and an underperforming team.

 

Cov on the other hand have been away from the PL for 25 years and have, over the last 3 or 4 years been a Championship team trying to make it to the PL in a sustainable way.  They've managed to build an overperforming team on a modest wage bill.  It's something that you can do over a 3 or 4 year period.  If it takes 5 or 6 years, fine, but there's no rush.  Unlike our situation.  Now Cov have a new set of problems (good problems to have).  If they are serious about anything near a 50k cap for players, then guess what? Their top performers will leave as soon as there a couple of offers on the table that at least double their wage.  So they'll need to adopt a new model for a sustainable PL existence: Buy low, sell high and expect star performers to move on after one year.  Difficult, but possible (we should know).  But making the transition to an established mid-table team will require them to blow that wage structure out of the water.

It is not an exaggeration to say that any other club in the country, including non-league, would have sacked Jon Rudkin long ago. Top is literally the only chairman that would reward that level of failure with a promotion. Any organisation that has no accountability will eventually be overcome by apathy and inertia at all levels. Those stats show just how far along that process we are.

I keep reading that we are a cautionary tale. We are more of a unique case. I don't see the worship of the ownership, which is mostly absent, and the indulgence of the DOF through repeated failure being replicated.

Yes, I suspect you’re right. This simply wouldn’t happen anywhere else.

[Simonb]

It also shows why.. when we do go on the attack and either adbul or patson etc have the ball in and around the area, there is never more than one player in the box to pick out, because noone can be bothered to get up there

 

Just a bunch of lazy pricks

Wage bill was £143m last season, I don’t see how we would have shaved £100,000,000 off.

 

Even excluding Cooper’s and RVN’s payout 

[Foxin_Mad]

Of course the players have some responsibility but I am not sure how much the players are the problem overall. I think it’s the way the club is run, look and James Justin, was crap here, booed, Leeds fans love him, a Premier League player. Collectively these lot are not a team, individually some will be reasonable players elsewhere. They have been set up to fail by idiots and useless managers, philosophies etc. The fundamental problem is the club has a shit structure, shit management and a culture of shitness and incompetence that as embedded in the club from the top down. It needs a massive restructuring exercise to fix it and someone business savvy and local who understands the club and know how to run a company in a country where bribes and loyalty do not mean success

Recruitment and recruitment planning has been abysmal and continues to be, so we end up with so many players leaving with no investment in the club, or players that want to leave. Consequently, their agents have been in their ears with sage advice around not getting injured, don't go for those 50/50 tackles, 70% effort is about fine. Even the January loans were once again terrible, when we desperately needed some sort of goal contributor and wound up with:

 

A midfielder/winger who nominally makes the bench but not deemed good enough to come on as a sub.

A young winger, who can't even make the first team squad most games.

A centre-back with an injury record, who has only managed a handful of games.

An 18 year-old attacker, who has talent, but has lost all confidence because of our predicament and now can't make the first XL.

When your excessive weekly pay packet puts you on Easy Street, the motivation (hunger and desire) drops - then, if things don’t go well and you are of a certain mindset that prioritises self-preservation above the collective, practically disappears. In some extreme cases the importance of self-preservation can actually extend to sabotage.

Ultimately somebody has to be bottom of those stats. But to be right down there on so many, and most of them key, shows how pathetic we've been. Majority of them are effort and intent based, yet some people still claim the players are trying their best

No no no 

 

It's Union FS that are the problem. Flat earthers like Linda and Cliff have said so 

[Vacamion]

 

The stat list was awful under Cifuentes and it's still awful under Rowett.

 

I get that Cifuentes was brought in with hardly any pre-season and Rowett inherited a side that was already bottom in those statistics (which speaks to mismanagement higher up), but for either manager to tolerate lack of workrate and commitment and not respond with decisive action, it's a real stain on their record.

 

Both of them.

 

Cajole, encourage, drop the slackers, call them out, aim for improvement -  just bloody well man-manage them.

 

Instead, we get awful performances all season as we got outworked constantly, just relying on a bit of magic from somewhere, and then, ultimately,  relegation.

 

Crying shame.

 

 

[Foxin_Mad]

I’d love to know how the likes of the pathetic baby Harry Winks can explain those stats? He thinks the fans are mean! The happy clappers think the fans are mean. It’s very hard to defend that level of shit. There is being top of the running list and genuinely not having quality, then, then there’s that abomination. I’d love the players to justify those stats over a season, they tell us we are exactly where we should be.,

Yeah, but they are still professional sportsmen, supposed high achievers. They  have been ran ragged by opposition on a fraction of their earnings all season. When does pride, embarrassment, professionalism etc kick in? I’m well paid for my job, and could do less for the same money, but don’t, as I don’t want to look like a muppet.
 

I just find it very weird. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they collectively hate the club and management. I understand people downing tools if they feel let down or there is resentment present. But **** knows what this lot have got to moan about. If it’s the team failing that’s on them!

Maybe that’s the issue though. Because they believe they are good players at this level, they don’t feel like they have to put in the effort that some other teams do. What’s the saying though; ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’. 
They are a disgrace to the shirt.

All of the senior players think they’re the only one doing okay.
