Bloke can’t win - he was slagged off for not reacting decisively enough at Sheff Wednesday and when he does try to make an early emphatic change he gets pelters again

This is what happens when the bairns decide in advance who the fall guy is going to be. If we go on to win from here, he’ll have been “lucky”. He can’t win either way.

Just got to hope that the top brass at the club have a much more grown-up view and stick to their plan.

I think there are a few shades between zero subs until 65 when 3-0 down and four subs when 1-0 down.

I think he may be running out of ideas and reaching today. This was a nightmare fixture for Lee Johnson. Whilst I disagree about it being no win with his subs, I think this fixture was no win for him today. A win expected and not celebrated, a loss is a catastrophe.
 
Awful performance. It's like a pre season friendly with a bunch of newbies who don't really know each other. Not really got any sort of game plan and there doesn't look any desire to win. Mansfield are not that good. On our day, we could paste them.
Not that long ago we looked canny, and now this. I’d love to know what’s brought it on.
 
It’s sad, but true. There’s just absolutely no point in playing the players that are simply not good enough.

Playing Wright, O’Brien and Flanagan ahead of 3 youngsters with potential is just nonsensical.
I was gutted when I saw Flanagan's name in the starting 11 on the opening day. To be fair to him he actually started the season quite well. However he's clearly reverted to his usual shite now.

He's been at the club for over three years now and been an absolute clown for 90% of the time.
