The players need a dressing down and don’t deserve the vast salaries, they are robbing the club blind with the performances they have put in the last few months 

Disgrace!

Can happen at any club, at any time- by any club I mean a club on decent salaries.

There were individual games maybe but it's overall been poor in terms of application for a while now.

I wonder if any club has ever promoted the kit-man to caretaker manager?

I'm pretty sure Nigel Adkins was Scunthorpe's physio before he was promoted to manager

I'd hold fire on this kind of comment.

No reason to mate. Plenty have done it at that level, but can’t make the step up, he’s just done it in reverse.

Just because of the shit show were’re seeing here at the moment doesn’t suddenly promote him to being good after all.

What is he saying

He was saying Bell and Pearson should have been given opportunities as the camera was on Fam wondering aimlessly around 

[Gert Mare]

After watching this today I’d rather we put out the entire under 23’s side, because it can’t get much worse.

You couldn’t be more wrong mate, with LJ we had stability , yes we would have a losing streak but we would also have a winning streak, now all we have is a losing streak, we have fallen so far since sacking LJ 

Before this we had won 5 in 7

He's the one who is Godson or something?!

[harvey54]

Meanwhile, elsewhere QPR, Forest and Huddersfield all win to close the gap to us. I don't fancy us beating anyone else soon. Relegation battle on

Garbage team selection. Garbage performance.

That would probably have been six again if Barnsley had Watford’s attacking talent.

Think relegation is now a real possibility, which is utterly ridiculous.

Relegation has been a real possibility for weeks

It’s funny to watch those who spent years clamouring for Johnson to be sacked moaning that this situation is all down to the owner and Ashton. Lee’s doing ok at the moment. 

At league one level but Lee always starts ok right? Remember.. Johnson should of been sacked way sooner then we wouldn't be in this position and Ashton needs to **** off quick sharpish as well don't start with that b*****ks because we have been falling for a while!!

[Prinny]

[lenred]

Why the **** are they playing Blackbird at the end? It’s a victory song and we are playing like ***ts and losing at home to Barnsley.  I know it’s only a small thing but it’s just a symptom of what seems to be going on at AG ie a f’ing Shambles!

The only stable thing he left, was the stability of falling down the table playing shite boring football. He will be proud that we have continued what he started.

At least there won’t be any temptation to appoint Simpson and Downing now. An experienced coach is required urgently, before our next match. Whatever it takes.

Exactly. None of this list, shortlist, first interviews, meet the owner face to face bullocks.....you know damn well there are 2/3 obvious options, go out and get the man that’s going to turn this shambles around. I’d bomb these two idiots out now, they are part of the problem

Should have kept Holden then ? Is that what you are saying ? 

[Ska Junkie]

Same shit, different day / coach.

Figures! 

[blockbrowt1]

No pressure then Mr Ashton balls this up and your off hopefully.

How many minutes has it been since we have scored a goal in the Championship?

4 million 

[weepywall]

Meanwhile CH seems to be turning Forest around, M McCarthy has Cardiff flying and Warnock is doing what Warnock does...all experienced managers and we chose Holden and are now left with his incompetent cronies.

[Dan Robin]

Too many negative signs: we need a good manager but also half a miracle to avoid the worst...

My recollection for a while now has been "Drink up Thy Zider" for victory, "Blackbird" if not.

I believe we sacked LJ believing we would get a more experienced manager who would get us into the playoffs rather than falling short each season, alas we didn’t but we were never going down with LJ in charge.

Winning away at Burton with a squad budget of at least 10x theirs? Yeh amazing. 

Let’s not forget he started this. 

We were nowhere near the current state of affairs when he left and I'd put my house on us being in a better place now had he stayed.

No rose tinted specs, and at the time I felt maybe it was the time for him to move on - but don't blame him for the abject state we're now in.

Shouldnt be either for a defeat. It’s a victory song - see Bristol Bears for example

He will tear us a new one next season, or maybe not.

Spose they might draw us in the cup should we hang around untill the 3rd round.

Rumours of it being a brother in law but that might just be rumours.
