Would have been an entirely different game if we'd made some of our early pressure count. We were all over them for the first quarter of the game.

Dreadful the way things went from there.

No use having a f***ing hissy tantrum though. We clearly need to work with what we've got. Manager, players the lot. So, swallow it and move on.

Yep, once again we start well for the first 15 minutes or so, then don't take our chances and concede.

Mind the ref. Gave us nowt all game, then the non-pen at 2-0, different game if they are down to 10 men and facing a pen before half time, but I honestly don't think that referee is league standard, woeful.

That is a legitimate aim. We're in severe financial trouble and a double relegation could do permenent damage to the club. Midtable stability would be good this year. Then progress next year.

I don't think we have the players, mental strength and attitude to stay in this league. Short will only authorise departures, we are royally screwed
 
Needs to stop playing 4-4-2 without an actual target man.
All teams will play the same way, sit deep soaking up our long balls and hit us on the break.
I'm all for a direct pressing game, but we either launch it or just pass infront of the opposition.
Cattermole isn't mobile enough to play in a 2.
Just sign a big lump who can hold the ball up and get back to 4-3-3. Still playing with a high line and actually press the ball.
We seem to trying to out championship teams with players who aren't suitable to that style of game.

But he is making a mess if it. The game, believe it or not is ALL about results.

We are in a position where, believe it or not, we have to sell, we are stuck with players who don't even want to be at the club.
It is about results but our dressing room is full of players who are simply not good enough or lack effort.
We will never get results as long as we are shckled with the majority of this squad, and to think some thought this squad was better than the Mags :rolleyes:

Getting absolutely humped all over off players I've never heard of disgrace this. We've got parachute payments , Pickford 30 , pva 15, lens 4. We've bought utter cheap shite. Short gets away with it far too easily . If the mags think Ashley is bad they shud have this twat. I'd swap tommoro. Fuck off short

But but but you told me you were better? Better squad the lot

Hopefully the eventual return of Watmore, Maja and McNair along with a couple of new arrivals next week will give Grayson enough to keep us out of the relegation zone.

I expected to drop without touching the sides if Moyes had stayed, difficult job to build a side from this collection of losers whilst cost cutting all over the club and next to zero transfer budget.

Those have been deemed shite by many on here.
italics spot on.
 
Pleased my brother came up to visit this weekend as I was thinking of going but didn't.

Look marra, we welcome mags on here for general banter and rivalry, but this is no place to gloat. Get yourself on

We know just how poor we are and could do without it.

Not here to gloat at all @Kubicki26 struggled to say you were shit. In fact repeatedly said you were the better club. I wasn't even trying to say we were better I openly said we were shit on a number of occasions. He tried to blame everyone but the players for last season and refused to just admit you are shit.

Our captain jogging around like it means nowt. Not the biggest problem in our team but a man supposed to inspire and galvinate the team is nothing short of a coward and a disgrace.

He's been shit for years IMO but gets away with it because he puts in a good tackle and pumps his fists every now and again which appeals to a lot of our fans. Legs have totally gone.
