Can see him going tonight if this ends up 4 or 5 nil

That’s irrelevant though. Yet another appalling display is what is relevant. We’ve been outplayed by a team that hasn’t won in 10. This isn’t Brentford or Norwich. It’s getting beyond a joke. I do have to question the way we’ve approached this today. It’s abysmal.

It is completely relevant to the conversation I was having.

The conversation I was having wasn't about us playing well, it was about the nonsensical claim that we will be bottom 3

[RedEyez]

So naive from us. We’ve played into their hands all half. 

[Better Red]

Out battled for every ball

Tell you what, coaching staff and board are probably thankful there’s no fans in there today 

I think they've been grateful for a while. 

Joking aside, its going to be pretty hard on the players when fans can return. There will be absolutely zero support for them from the stands.  It'll be like playing away every week.

Just wont happen under the current regime - very very sadly

[YGBjammy]

Imagine what a good manager would get out of this group of players.

Can you imagine the atmosphere right now at the gate if we were allowed fans in? Would not be going down well!

Good job we’ve got “one the best young coaches in the country”!

Do we actually have a game plan or is it just go out and run around a bit?

That is exactly it. No footballing philosophy at all

[MC RISK77]

Fair shout to all of you still paying to watch this shite!!!

[City_USA]

How many corners is that already for them? Flinty must be licking his lips 

[bexhill reds]

Mariappa, do us all a favour mate and do the hamstring. Get off the pitch, ******* liability

1. We will.

2. None of the bottom 3 will reach 50 points. Birmingham (currently 4th bottom) are on course for 46-47 points.

Phew, roll on next season

Complete non event this season, sooner we get to the summer and hopefully stay in this division the better 

And the same next season. I’m not optimistic at all.

[Guest]

Now will Steve see we need a manager

[italian dave]

At the moment we seem to have supplemented our familiar willingness to stand back and allow the opposition to cross the ball, with a similar willingness to stand back and watch the opposition to have a free header from that cross. It's quite literally downs league stuff

[westonred]

Come on City this is a disgrace there's only one team that want it We are being bullied off the ball too easily

[irishreds]

Paul Cook in NOW. We can still make the play-offs with the right leader. ASHTON OUT.

This shyte is right up there with o'driscol and maguiness unwatchable garbage the only diffrence is weve spent 10s of miilons achieving it

The Lansdowns only employ jokers. They are very naive.

He'll get til the end of the season and there's not much point changing now anyway, with the window closed. But we need a change in the summer for sure

Change of manager could make all the difference(if right manager), it's clear the players have no clue what to do or what the tactics are supposed to be... Worst case scenario a new manager can stop the rot and use time wisely... It cannot go on like this, worst I can remember use in many years..

There’s nothing dinosaur about Mick McCarthy. He understands the opposition’s weaknesses and gets his own team to play to its strengths. It’s quite simple really 

[Johnr1986]

Holden and this management set up is not up to the task, we are heading towards a relegation scrape on this form with him at the helm! 

[havanatopia]

I suppose it is because the season is somewhat crammed compared to normal times but this season games come round so quickly and I find myself not looking forward to the next one because before i take a breath its upon us; conversely in normal times they tend to come around oh so slowly. Bizarre innit.

[ExiledAjax]

Foolish of me to think we'd see if Phillips is any good.
