You could argue the side was improved with the absence of 09 and gooch -both horrific last time out.

Big loss this for LJ.

His presser following Tues he was begging for his job.

If he doesn't turn it around by Xmas, he'll be gone

Two weeks ago I would agree, but it's an accelerating decline now, if he doesn't stop it, I doubt he'll make it that far - we don't have to win the next two league games but we do need to put in performances like earlier in the season or the hammer will have to fall.

That is honourable mate. Fair play. However, I'm sure that you can understand that fans are now concerned that something has happened behind the scenes and the players are not playing for LJ, or LJ's system has been found out and he cannot change it.

The whole outcome of the game and the manner of the substitutions doesn't suggest to me that LJ can turn things around anytime soon. A few weeks ago we were winners full of confidence and self-belief & now anyone is capable of giving us a good spanking even at HOME.

Something has gone badly wrong and its not just about poor team selections or tactics.

It's the old cliché that the players aren't playing for the manager. It's said everytime any club goes on a bad run. Yet, I don't think they are playing for him. Hopefully, I'm wrong and we go up at a canter. But, something feels wrong.

theres a difference between supporting / backing the team, and posting stuff almost as fact that wasn’t happening. We were never winning comfortably 4-0, not if you’ve been watching us recently

i’ll give them some credit, we were utter shite again

Honestly couldn't give a shite about that game.

The sooner we get knocked out of all the cups, the better.

The manner of defeat is the problem, cup or league. I don't like to lose in the league but I can cope with it (well I can't really). The way we have been losing, however, is symptomatic of a serious problem. I've never asked for a manager to be sacked except at Bruce's last game at SOL but this manager has questions to answer and quickly.
