Agreed. There is a certain irony that his fate may ultimately be decided in a game where we've performed a bit better than most of recent games but ultimately our poor recent performances have created a situation where a decent performance undone by three individual errors just isn't enough.

I don't think even a draw will make a difference. Either two goals with ten men or that's that...

Are you really convinced it’s play offs or bust for LJ? I’m not. Although I’d like to be.

It's a pretty decent excuse when you're 1 down and then go down to 10 men. 

Give Lee a break tonight. 

Mistakes from 2 players that have nothing to do with Lee. 

I honestly don't think he's earned that break though. He's unlucky tonight for sure but this game has become so high pressure because of how poor we have been so many times this season. Those two mistakes have become so costly because of that and ultimately, unlucky than he is nothing, he can't really claim to be hard done by if this is the final nail in the coffin.

The football has been shit the buck stops with the manager time to go.

Summing up the game in three sentences...

Started brightly and created a couple of fleeting chances.

Goal down, Williams sees Red, team cohesion breaks down.

Hoof the ball up field constantly without any refinement hoping for a half chance.

(Ps - the commentators are doing my swede in!)

Not convinced for sure. But we've not not won in eight, lost three on the spin and this is the third season in a row where our season has ultimately been undone by a late collapse. LJ has claimed he has prepared the team as he wanted to and has a virtually fit squad which is of his choosing so I cannot see what he will claim to be able to get right next time that he hasn't been able to get right until now.

Up until this season, I think there's always been a plausible argument - whether you agree with or not - that LJ could turn it around with another season. I don't see that now and I don't think SL's loyalty and patience is limitless. We have not progressed this season and several players, including two we've spent a lot of money on, have arguably gone backwards. I don't think SL will want to rush to make a change but, barring a string of brilliant performances and a near miss of the play-offs, I can't see how he will not make it.

In the context of our recent form and his tactical choices, absolutely. He can't use this result in isolation to defend himself if he is sacked. However, he can use those 2 incidents as an excuse as to why we might not have got more from tonight.

LJ not to blame for this match. The other matches however......time to go

How astute!

He certainly isn’t to ‘blame’ for our bright first 45 as he couldn’t replicate it even if he tried.

And even if he could, we still didn’t ******* score ?
