Honestly the muppets in charge of this club are totally deluded.

Sugawara has been crap.

They did ok in a passing heavy side but they are useless when it comes to getting around the pitch at a high intensity. Wouldn't like to rely on them next year.

Certainly wouldn't be against an upgrade on Smallbone/Aribo though (Fernandes won't be here)

Shea wasn't great last season (clearly didn't suit Russball) but he's been very good this season and is proving he's a more than a decent Championship player. If we go into next season with Downes and Charles as the two defensive midfielders I'll be happy with that.

It'll be an interesting summer that's for sure. Lumley out of contract, Ramsdale will go. McCarthy not good enough. I'd imagine we'll have to sign another keeper to compete with Bazunu and McCarthy will be third choice.

Shame he wasn't sacked a few weeks earlier. Could've got Dyche in then we might've drawn enough games to get us above 11 points.

He isn't great but what's annoyed me is we looked dangerous from crosses against West Ham but then in the two games since we've stopped putting the ball in the box when we've had the opportunity. It still doesn't help playing KWP on the wrong side and Bree who couldn't cross a bloody road. That's on Juric for me.

Ipswich have Delap. I still think that was the biggest cock up we made in the summer. Not being able to agree a deal with him before he went to Ipswich.

Wouldn't mind seeing O'Brien-Whitmarsh and a few of the younger players. Aribo, Bree etc can just piss off at this point.

Agreed. We get overrun in the middle of the pitch so easily. I'd rather see us go to a 4 and use Dibling in his best position on the right. Stick SAA on the other side, because why the hell not. Ramsdale; KWP, Wood, Bednarek, Manning; Downes, Les, Fernandes; Dibling, SAA, Archer.

THB is not a premier league defender. No doubt he could be one day - at the moment he's nowhere near the required level. The fact that Bednarek is still our best centre back after these last 3-4 years is laughable.

He wasn't as bad as Aribo but he gave away a very clumsy penalty and lost his man for their goal that was disallowed. He just isn't consistent enough at the moment and to play him in a two with Aribo was basically suicidal.

Wait for MLG to come along and tell you Mark Bitcon has experience at Man City. Experience of being Head of performance of the academy for 3 years. Barely what is required here. The bloke is a Rugby man. Just like Clive Woodward was and look how that turned out. The club is an absolute shambles.

It is staggering to me that we're not playing KWP on the right and Manning on the left.

You can accept a lack of skill but the lack of effort from the players yesterday was an absolute disgrace. Juric looked totally defeated in the post match interview - it only took 3 games. Not his fault of course. Huge overhaul needed in the summer.

Given that he's the French Under 19 captain you'd like to think he has something about him.

Fernandes suspended, Downes likely to miss out again. That means Aribo in CM again. Deary me.

If there is a realistic chance we could get £5-10 million for KWP now and he's happy with it then we'd be silly not to accept it. We are going down regardless.

Pretty sure Chez was talking about KWP, not BBD.

Didn't last long although Arsenal have been excellent.

Of course, but if you were him you'd probably rather wait until the summer and have a chance of choosing who you want to sign for.

Highly doubt he'd want to go there. Looks like they will be joining us in the Championship again next season.

Usually, with Juric's tactics, you'd want to play a pressing side. Knock the ball past/over the press and utilize the space behind or win the second balls. Going by the second half on Sunday, it's going to take a while longer to get Russball out of the players systems.

Don't see what good it would do Charles to come back now into a disfunctioning side. He's improving playing under Rohl at Wednesday and they're doing well. Ugochukwu is showing he's not a bad player. Personally I'd keep things how they are.
