We look as bad as ever. 

We are trying really hard to pass it and create a space to drive into, but simply failing to achieve anything. There is just not penetration at all. Only Lavia seems able to create space. 

I thought Armstrong started brightly, but disappeared. Walcott and Ely have done nothing. Alcaraz has given the ball away far too much. It's not just the attackers. KWP has been poor. He used to glide down the line, but he seems hesitant. DCC looks slow. JWP has passed it backwards more than usual.

We are chasing shadows without the ball. The forward players are running around like headless chickens, applying no pressure at all and tiring themselves out no doubt.

Get Adams and Sulemana on FFS.

I have had a ST for over 45 years and this is the first time that I can remember feeling that I really couldn't asked to go to a home game......seems like I made the right choice. At least I can feel pissed off and frustrated at home........

Our best chance according to tv analysts(in a must win home game vs bournemouth) was  a scrappy shot from an incredibly acute angle that would have needed an incompetent goalie to get a goal. Changes needed at half time needed

A standard Adam Armstrong hit and hope, to go along with his run and hope. Your typical kick and rush player, but with less refinement than that of Shane Long. Bloke doesn't deserve to play in the top 2 tiers. I'd offer to pay up his contract.

I'd understand, to a point, the keep it tight calls if we're like in November or December. But this is different, we can't quite playing the same ponderous approach waiting for an opening, we have to force it, we have to take responsibility, but my feeling is that these players are cowards and none of them want to take responsibility so they pass it to the next person.

Selles line ups are weird, but I'd argue that you can only do so much with this bunch to be honest. They really are terrible wimps.

There were a couple of times where there was such obvious 'let someone else deal with it' and it required 19yr old Lacvia to actually take responsibility.

Fuck Sellesball, tell him to fuck off boys and go for it. Fuck his bullshit.

That would require the players taking some form of responsibility, so that won't happen.

You mean as a manager, or just to take away to live with them, away from football? 🙂

Well he may be more use as the later 🤔

Let's bring on our big target man, get some people around him, get some crosses in and and least try and make their 'keeper have something to think about.

Oh? Our centre forward isn't playing or on the bench? We have "false" 9s? Oh ok. See you in the Championship.

Yet he is much more effective than Elyounoussi wouldn't you say?   Incredibly low bar admittedly.

Lyanco on. JWP off. What the fuck. 

JWP has been awful so far, him and JWP have been so far below their normal standards that something must be up.

JWP has clearly accepted an offer behind closed doors

Now that's a brave substitution.

I could only imagine a JWP penalty or freekick. Injury?

Maybe he got told it would be SeelesBall for the second half and he finally snapped.

"He's not feeling very well". So some idiot showed him the highlights reel for our season. That makes us all ill.

Has to be an injury? Surely? Even with 1 fucking leg I’d keep JWP out there, given the state of the 2 sides, a free kick could be the difference.

I  bet the dressing room was fun at half time, 

They just discussed what holidays they had booked other than the holiday they were taking on the pitch

Probably. Set up not to concede, we didn’t. Pat on the back all round.
