We never were going up under him. only knows how to play one style and one formation. Utter waste of time having this bloke as manager, unless we are happy finishing about 14th

Yep hence I’m £40 better off. Rather not have the money but on 80 min it’s always worth a punt on us to fuck it up, to soften the blow

I mean at 1-1 on 55-60 min who’d have thought taking off our best attacking players in Leo and fellows would end up costing us? Fucking laughing stock of a club, run by fucking idiots who continually appoint terrible managers, or “head coaches” in the case

And in the lower reaches, too

It’s almost as if appointing a manager with absolutely zero prior experience of being one, may have been a bit of a gamble, isn’t it?

Happy to hang on for a draw at Oxford, great stuff. Just kicking it anywhere now. Apparently we play to win every game though

Fellows looking dangerous last 15 min, so off he comes of course.

Let’s be honest who at all would be surprised if this ends up as a 2-1 defeat?

You just know he will come out with exactly the same system and personnel second half, and we will be a yard slower than them, half asleep after the break as usual. What a shock , he’s appointed permanently and we revert back to mediocrity and turgid football, people say about managers being too rigid and too wedded to a system, well this bloke seems to be the worst of all for that. It’s like he actually doesn’t know how to coach a team to play another way or in another formation hence having 5 at the back regardless of the scenario in each and every game

How the fuck is that a fucking yellow

Manning is so fucking shit

So everyone’s eyes are deceiving them when they see him not performing very well in matches , not saving shots he should do, not coming for crosses etc….AND the stats illustrating that he’s the worst keeper in each league in every season’s played for us, are also meaningless. Ok pal

The excuses being made for Baz are hilarious, they really are. It’s black and white, he’s a terrible keeper. It’s really not hard to admit that surely. It’s not our (the fans) fault our keeper is crap , so the bizarre level of continued defence for him is odd

Badly missed his presence and aura up top today. That second half was made for him.

“Outstanding” saves is pushing it a bit. If he’d let them in we’d have been slating him, they were competent saves

You mean they got promoted and didn’t immediately sign half a dozen 18-19 year old Man City youth players who weigh about 9 stone and assume that would do the job? Surely not

Well it is. If you have Sport Republic as your owners.

I miss the days of calling every ginger player on the opposing team a wotsit

Nope, we won’t finish in the top 6 with Eckert as manager, somewhere between 8th and 12th is more realistic and likely. He will regularly be found wanting in the games against the tougher sides that get decided by the most pro active and adaptable manager to game situations where every little edge gained makes a difference

Yep, bizarre to leave 3 CBs on and keep 5 at the back, yet send Bazunu up for a corner at the end. Almost as if that was a “look how much we’re trying to win the game” exercise for show. Smacked of that to me, anyway.

I think the phrase is “you can’t polish a turd”

I just find it ridiculous that he even gets picked over McCarthy, who even though Is well past his best now, has historically been a solid premier league level keeper before, has far more experience and confidence, is a better shot stopper and just provides more security in the back line. There’s no way Baz is getting picked over him based on performances and ability. It’s all this pathway shit that this club is obsessed with providing for him based on forking out way too much money on him 4 years ago. And it’s costing us big time

If we don’t sign at least a competent loan keeper until the end of the season, it will say a lot.

At this stage i am wondering just how bad George Long is, to not even be knocking on the door for a place on the bench. Not even a polite tap on the door. He must be epically bad if our national league level first choice keeper is seemingly undroppable for him.

Indeed. Best description of his physical presence in the sticks was on this very site - Like an anorexic Warwick Davis
