Yep, exactly what I said a few days ago. The similarities are becoming more apparent with each game. The rigid unadaptable style, clueless in game management, refusal to change style or shape, or formation, and bland like for like substitutions that do little to help us improve during the match. Add to this his seemingly being content with performances way below what this squad should be giving, and he’s really no better than Selles.

Spoken like a true puppet to his bosses. Who’d have thought it

It’s been clear for a while that we are finishing mid table and comfortably short of the play offs, performances and results like this just underline as much. Another wasted season under this utterly cretinous ownership group is imminent.

Good idea, I might soon too

Are they actually coached how to keep a defensive shape and how to stop crosses coming in, and even tracking runners? This is a fucking joke for the money we’ve spent

Slow, ponderous, not closing down or pressing, ambling about, waiting for them to score. Fucking abysmal

I mean, I think most of us have already accepted what’s likely to happen tonight , having seen the early knockings of this game.

Baz making it as easy as he possibly could for them to score there, rooted to his line looking the size of a jelly baby in there

Yeah sounds good, we are lethal in the second half , after all. Bound to work….

Like conceding goals from shots that should probably be saved? And thereby costing us points? But he can pass it about needlessly to his centre backs a bit better, which don’t result in us scoring goals more often than he concedes shots at his own goal. Utter genius.

It’s clearly not picked on performances or actual effectiveness and ability to stop the opposition scoring goals, that much is clear. But more because our owners are desperate for their investment to work, their pet project.

I did say that Tonda won’t change a thing regardless of results. We could lose 5-0 tonight and New Year’s Day will be the same players and the same formation, and the same keeper. Hes going to stick with this way regardless of results.

The QPR goal could be argued to be a glaringly stupid error, but other than that he’s just rolling along nicely doing what he does best and diving a second too late for any shot into the corner of the goal.

That summer was unbelievable for recruitment even by our standards. Baz, Larios , Edozie , among others, all signed to be regulars in a premier league team. if that doesn’t show everyone just how out of their depth and clueless this lot are with judging what’s required to create a competitive squad for the league we are in at the time, then nothing will. Absolutely shambolic, and that’s being kind.

I look forward to our victory tomorrow then. Lovely stuff

Rasmus at his egotistical best, or worst

There won’t be any change of formation , it will still be 5 at the back, quarshie for Stephens again I expect the only possibly change, and exactly the same side other than that, with our Sport Republic poster boy still in goal , still letting any half decent shot past him. Can’t wait.

He definitely won’t do it because it’s not what SR want, and they’re in charge hence the distinction of deliberately naming him “head coach” rather than manager, which Still was titled as.

It’s actually incredible the amount of money we keep needing to throw at this squad just to get it into the top half of the championship table, in order to merely negate and net off the effect of the abysmal management of the football side of things

Again this all stems from the overall culture inside the club that is dictated by the way the club is run by the owners. They’re allowing the players to constantly dictate which manager they want to play for, and to kick up a fuss when and throw their toys out when a new manager actually gets tough and tries to ruffle a few feathers. The owners are the absolute root cause of the rotten underperforming culture at this football club and need to leave before it shows any signs of improving

Yep, we are roughly where our performances and lack of playing as a cohesive team are dictating - mid table. And I don’t expect that to change by the end of the season. You need roughly 75 points to get into the playoffs as a benchmark, we will fall at least 10 points short of that in my opinion

I’d be amazed if he’s ever dropped under Tonda. Just can’t see it happening. The main initial priority between tonda and SR the moment he was appointed was to shoehorn Baz straight back in as number 1. Doubt his continual non prevention of saveable goals will get in the way of SR’s long term dream to be proven right that Baz was a good signing and not a horrific waste of money

At least if we do go down we can be told he’s “fine for league one”

Yeah he did, I’ve never actually said otherwise personally. I’d take that every day of the week over what’s Happening this season , and I’d hope anyone else would too given we had about 12 more points at this stage

The only prior manager we could compare him to is Russell Martin, being he was the only other manager managing at the same level, ie the championship. Russell Martin didn’t ever lose 3 away games in a row in the league. The other managers managed at premier league level, so we could use those stats, but they’d not be comparing like with like as the premier league is a whole level up, and as we didn’t have a squad worth comfortably more than 95% of the teams in the premier league, so it isn’t a valid comparison. But then of course you knew that. Any more queries I’ll be happy to clear them up for you Jordan
