Faes and Vesty who we won the Championship with?

Exactly that, in this god awful system under Enzo we won it with them starting moves in the opposition half, totally bossing the game.

We rate Wes highly because he's been one of our best players since League One. He's been almost legendary for us under McKenna. BUT he needs to be played properly, given space to run into on the right and with solid players around him to tuck away the chances he creates. 

 

His injury last season hampered his appearances for us and, when McKenna went, he clearly wouldn't have been a regular in our PL campaign. That said, rather him than the consistently inconsistent Kasey Mac, but not rather him than Fatawu. He's clearly not enjoying Russball (but then who is?) and I'd be worried if your fans start to unfairly get on his back because he's a solid pro and will do a job for any manager who, like McKenna, is more attack-minded. 

 

Your board have  just blindly gone for the arsehole option as coach. You need a Nige Pearson or a Warnock-type to reset and redeem after a tumultuous few seasons. That won't happen til after a takeover now.

As the other Tractor boy on here I completely agree with the comments about Wes. Play him in his position forward, wide on the right, supply the ball and he will produce dangerous cross after dangerous cross or cut in for a shot.

I thought it was sad to see the empty stands at the end but at the same time I admired the solidarity of those there (or not there if you see what I mean). Showing the management exactly what you think. Good luck.

I agree with everything other than the scoreline flattering Oxford. I thought they looked two leagues above us today, they were absolutely superior in every way and 4-0 didn’t flatter them

They took their goals well but I don’t think they’re anything special. Just block the passing lanes and wait for us to make a mistake. 

 

One of the worst things about the past couple of years is that you don’t need to be any good to beat us, just competent.

Rangers fans did warn us. 

We knew already

Lundstram better be good, only hope we have. As talented as Braybrooke and Page are, they can't control a midfield. Even more so with the style of play this dickhead wants us to play.

They closed down quickly and as a team, knocked the ball about crisply, broke with pace, solid no nonsense defending… I thought they looked a decent side in every department. 
 

We don’t take much beating, you’re right, because we make a simple game so complicated

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Yet another nothing club coming here and having their best away day in a decade or more. 

[Haywood_6]

Just watched the extended highlights back and Page was poor yesterday for four goals. 

 

What’s happened to his touch? The first comes from a horrific touch, while for the second and third we’re closing down in midfield (obviously Martin's instructions) only to completely fail to make a tackle or even foul. And the fourth goal he doesn't track his runner.

 

What’s the point in closing someone down if you’re just going to let them turn you so easily?

It's ****ing weak as piss!

 

I know he's young, but after that performance he needs to be made to watch those errors back and be benched for a few games.

 

There are problems all over the pitch, but sorting the midfield has to be priority number one.

 

You aren’t getting out of this league if you’re not willing to put a tackle in and do the ugly side of the game.

I usually hate missing home games due to family functions, especially this one as I thought I saw signs of promise against Plymouth. I just watched the highlights and God we are so easy to play against. I would like to apologise to whoever brought our seats on the resale platform.

It’s honestly mental how many times this has happened. 
 

The amount of 2nd half goals and the opposition players running towards the away end 

[J.Lisemore]

Who would have thought a lad out of Oxfords academy would look better than anything we had out on the pitch, experience or no experience.

Most clubs that come here this season will have their best away day for years ..... why we are a poor weak side and teams will realise once we go a goal down .... we are done

Probably the last time that you manage to resell your season ticket. Empty seats everywhere from now on.

Been in excess of 8,000 empty seats in the home end for the past two home matches and over 5,000 empties for the Burton one.

It’s really disappointing. Where have all the glory supporters gone?!
 

Arguably - the team need the support now - more than ever. 
 

This season feels like it’s at a tipping point. If we could sell out the next home game - it would give the boys a real boost.

Bigger and better impact long term would be a drastically reduced attendance rather than a genuine sell out. 
 

The Burton home crowd was large for league one and looked what that did.

If he doesn't win player of the season it's a bloody disgrace. Three cheers for Missanga!

Considering how we defended, it's not a surprise. Defending for the 1st and 2nd was akin to an U7s game.

I’d rather spend the afternoon trudging round IKEA than spend any more time watching this shite

We are away on holiday for the Wigan game so will have to put them up again. I think it helps because we have two seats together. I used to plan holidays around games, not that bothered nowadays.

I’ve seen more posts and memes about this result on social media than the relegation.

 

We’re the laughing stock of the football world.

 

And many comments genuinely pity us. The club is pathetic.

It is the same every where, noticing more Coventy shirts about now they are in the Prem
