“I don’t feel that this is possession to go and create a chance” At least the commentator has worked us out. Pointless

We dropped absolutely loads of points from fucking about and shipping unnecessary goals, we missed the autos by a distance and somehow got through the lottery of the playoffs. Russell’s brand of football works against seriously inferior opposition, and that’s it.

No it wasn’t, we shipped 64 goals against a load of shit opposition

And Dibling TBF, didn’t bust a gut to get close to the crosser

Yep, a minute before we got in a great crossing position and decided to recycle it. No chance. Martin out

Great banter, apparently. And brave

It’s not that weird, tactically we’re absolute garbage. If those players had the freedom to receive and move the ball quicker, it might be more interesting

So so strange that Ryan Manning is what we’ve obviously been missing all season. He wasn’t even any good in the Championship, they’ll have him on toast here

…take off any remaining in form players around the 60-70 minute mark, regardless of situation. Replace with Championship level dross. Concede further goals. Complete capitulation by conceding late goal from undefended set play to edge of box. Praise performance.

I think at this point he realises he’s too far out of his depth and wants to get paid off, and is just trolling us.

Some would say Russ fits right in 🤡

If we could get through this without any injuries or red cards, and less than about -5 on the GD, I’d take it

The club haven’t got a clue. We need a bounce from somewhere, and realistically 6+ points from those next 5 league games to have any chance of turning things around. All we’re going to get is the same failed philosophy, tactical ineptness, and random gambles that we’re going to stumble across the solution from RM. At least Captain Bravery is back for City, I’m sure that’s all we’ve been missing.

I’d hazard a guess that it’s where you said “not many fans want to see him gone”. I don’t know many that want him to stay.

Nah, it’s just giving him an excuse. His naivety cost us that.

Yep, that’s on him, again.

What’s with not defending the edge of our box, again. Yes the ref was awful but Russ has done nothing to address our obvious issues. Not responding to Fatawu coming on, as if Manning on a booking and Fraser were going to deal with that. Get him gone.

Who’d have guessed that Manning and Fraser wouldn’t be up to defending down that side. But yeah, this referee needs suspending and investigating

SOU 45% - 55% LEI SOU 216 - 255 LEI Who would’ve thought you don’t need 80% possession to win a game of football?

Really need to think about how we’re going to finish the game with 11 men. Referee is shocking. Some tidy play in spells but this Ramsdale low suicide ball into midfield could easily get us in trouble. Very interesting to see how we look 2nd half.

No excuses, nothing but a win is good enough here after failing to beat Forest and Ipswich at SMS

Are you saying he didn’t change our approach in the playoffs?

Someone needs to ask him exactly what happened in the playoffs, and why, and what the outcome was. And then someone else needs to fire him.

And because all it does it inflate our pass completion stats, invites unnecessary pressure for zero gain, and is boring as fuck to watch

“We won’t always win” At least he got that bit right. Ok Russ, but see what happens when we never win
