Would you prefer we lose?

No but something's got to give. We're going nowhere with this bloke

No doubt we'll get a spawny win against the division's worst team and that'll keep Johnson in the job for at least another month

Fine margins

 

Yeah we are somewhere between below average and complete sh*t

Which will get us where exactly 

Nowhere but it'll show those players that player power will not be tolerated

They wanted Jose out,guess it's the same here

It's a simple equation for me: if the players look like they aren't playing for the manager, boo their every touch

So 2 wins in 28 is nonsense? Bottom of league is nonsense? Wow, no honestly wow!

A guy comes in with no experience and does a much better job in this league... not hard when his predecessor had a 15% win record right?

Like hell they have btw, you must be totally blinkered if you seriously believe that rubbish, at least with the posters who discredited SC gave their reasons why.. what was it? Not a long term appointment, he wasn't. He was abject last season

A much better job? About six points better isn't it?

Bryan is not good enough

it was always gonna come back to bite you on the ass if you were so vocal in your moaning after 3 minutes.

in LJ we trust 

Not really. We have been sh*te for two months, and scoring two goals doesn't change that

Would like to have seen Tammy dropped today, as he's been wasteful lately. Needs a break. We could've replaced him with...Oh wait, there isn't anyone else

To be fair. ..we've dominated.  So the tactics are not the problem

The problem is...we lack quality in the final third, and at the back. To many people are blinded by being sentimental

Bryan just isn't developing.  Been poor all season.  And Flint isn't the rock some make out.

Reid isn't a bad player...but at this level, he just isnt effective enough in the position he plays. Same goes for Freeman 

 

So we're rubbish up front and at the back. That doesn't bode well.

And we often 'dominate' after we go behind. It's just the opposition team defending their lead, but it usually doesn't bear many fruits.

FFS... Bryan allows his man to turn and deliver cross and 1-0 down, after having had all the play.

Bryan yet again

We were far to pedestrian, especially in the first half. I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and call for LJ's head, neither am I a blind follower.

Week after week I see us being pressed and the ball being passed around quickly, we need to get better at this.

Disappointed with the result because had Tammy scored then we would have won

You won't see me reaching for the razor blades because all these games we are losing its very small margins that's costing us.

That's the problem - we're ALWAYS pedestrian. Too easy to play against

So we lost 1-0 to a wicked deflection with Tammy spurning some glorious chances. Don't feel too bad; so did hogan. 

Unlucky to not get a point but a win we did not deserve and neither did they. 

We were much improved 2nd half but LJ's dropping of LT backfired: big time. By the time he came on we were chasing and totally devoid of shape. Freeman motm, Magnusson running close after a shakey first. Bryan did little in the second to redeem a poor first half. 

As for Lucic. Not bloody ready by a loooooong way. He did make a couple of smart saves but bloody hell did that kid read the game extremely poorly and pass it short to the wrong man. He needs more game experience and not in the championship where mistakes are usually punished.

Engval didn't see enough of. Some good movement, lack of understanding between him and the team resulting in offsides. Too early to call of course. 

How many times have we heard the words 'Bryan' and 'poor' in the same sentence this season? Not sure he's up to it at this level

 LJ Bingo in his post match interview.."It's so frustrating cause we're almost there' 

Yeah we're almost there LJ. All we need is for you to change your tactics for once

It's not just a physical thing though. He'll maybe become mentally jaded.

Fair point. I think he's probably becoming quite frustrated with Johnson's tactics, which are increasingly leaving him stranded.

2 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said:

So he didn't have a break when the non internationals did. The guy is in his first full season in first team football and being asked to play up front on his own. I would suggest he's going to become a bit jaded and would benefit from a break at some point.

I certainly agree that it's a big ask expecting him to shoulder the goalscoring responsibility, but I would argue that he's 19 years old and should be able to cope with playing a 90-minute match once a week. It's not like he's a box to box midfielder

10 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said:

Did he not play in international week?

That was the week before

7 minutes ago, Roger Red Hat said:

Might mean Tammy can have a rest. He's going to suffer from burn out at some stage. He's not getting a break at all.

Didn't he just have a seven-day rest?

Tomlin spending the game trying to kick McShane and Gunter rather than play. Like playing with 10 men. 

Don't worry, he'll do a backheel in a couple of games and he'll be great again

There are times when constant drip drip drip of miserablism just gets my goat sorry Ivor.

To be fair, I only said that our promising start to the season looked like coming to an end. There have been much more miserable comments on here! :-)

The honeymoon period is officially over

I love the bloke, but Joe Bryan is having the worst game any footballer has ever had since Duffy for Blackburn. 

Joe Bryan has to be the weak link in this team. Has had a few nightmares this season

Bamba had the last touch and cleared it before it got near reid, have a proper look at the replay.

Oh really? Bamba again!!
