Baird of the land

Manning extremely pathetic defendingf there. You look at the previous attack we had (where we worked the ball to the edge of the box, then passed backwards until we gave the ball away) and compare it to when they attack, they do these weird things like cross and shoot.

It was a complete hospital pass

2 nil down and still playing this cretinous football backwards

Scared football. Just play it back to the secutiry blanky that is our CB's.

Truly pathetic. The most appalling stat was was us having 70+% of possession whilst barely getting out of our own half. You'd honestly think losing 1-0 gets us promoted by how we have approached this.

At some point you've got to try and play the ball towards the box.

Pathetic cowardly play by saints

The whole spine of the team at the very least Gk, CB,CM & S.

Depresses me to think we're likely going to see even more of the terrible rothwell over the run in and play offs.

My point was if both leeds & Ipswich drops points the corpse revives ( both need to get 2 wins from 3 don't they) in the unlikely scenario of us winning 3?

Well it would put coming ahead of Leeds back in our hands. Ipswich's margin for error has just increased, they can afford to lose 1.

Waiting for a Middlesborough win over Leeds to bring the corpse back to life fora day.

That would have been the perfect point to counteract it by bringing on our dm. Instead the usual wait for them to score as normal.

horrible for Armstrong, going to miss out on the euros too.

why is our stamina so pathetic

Assume it's likely to do with Mccarthy's contract stipulations . Lumley is a cheap and cheerful reserve.

I expected Downes not to play. Hopefully it is just precautionary with Tuesday(today's result dependent) being where biggest need for him lies. Like others the refusal to start Charles, despite him deputising ably midweek, is very odd. Hope the midfield doesn't end up being unbalanced and cost us the game.

We can get Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Is it really a good sign? Surely it's the sort of role you'd ideally want to have some stability in and not have someone who on the big team's shortlist's immediately.

I'm sure he seriously happy that the club idiotically rushed to extend his contract.

Disgusting move. As always the big clubs will cry 'too much football' and then turn round and expand their champions league games.

It's funny I was thinking about Macca over the weekend and how he was a good shot stopper at his peak. I was wondering if because of that he had declined faster with age than keepers who are great organisers/positional/physically. Hope it was more of a confidence / injury thing and we see a revival over the run in. (Nice that he got a confidence building clean sheet to start) If so he'd be an upgrade over the poor shot stopper bazanu even if he's less assured with ball at his feet.

Can't think any more than 1 game at a time. Beat Cardiff and see where we are.

It’s a shame for bazanu that’s he’s injured. If we’re lose a player to injury we’re lucky it is him and not a key player. It is about playing to mccarthy’s strengths. He’s not going to have the distribution but Hopefully he can show himself to be a better shot stopper, cross dealer, which are attributes i value in a gk.

Getting slightly sloppy
