There is a benefit to losing. You just think of Crayon Boy and how much of a ***** he must feel. 

We got rid of that nasty manager, and we're playing with his nice little drawing on the front of the kit instead of the club badge. I'd imagine tonight is a success as far as Jon is concerned!

Frankly  rubbish  6 games in what's changed he can't even get the tippy tat going tonight 

[westred1]

Genuinely awful. So passive. Playing long ball to no one.

Wells and Naismith can’t believe what they’re seeing. “We haven’t seen this on the training field so not sure why we’re playing direct…”

It’s embarrassing.

But best squad we’ve ever had and definitely worthy of a top 6 place…

How have we have regressed this badly??

Because we've spent three years building an intensive, counter attacking side who are now having to learn something which looks like the complete opposite 

[Red22]

Well done crayon boy.

Louis Armstrong is playing christmas tunes on my record player.....now at the point I really don't give a **** about this shower of wasters. 

I thought he was dead.

Poor movement in final third - again.

Poor crossing - again.

Failing to take shots due to poor touches - again

We've got to sort these basics out.

Same for me, bliming annoying!

If you record the Red Button. - not only is it seamless with no interruptions - you can also rewind and have your own replays

[Will b11]

Red button still not working for me ffs, missed over half of that half haha

[Malago]

Talk about confusing, what happened to the passing game we were promised.  Max hoofs it and they come straight back at us.

Something seriously wrong coaching wise.

No sense no feeling 

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

Lansdown - felchers.

[Red Ferret]

Poor and boring. No attacking ideas, no killer pass, no through balls into dangerous areas

Sam Bell isn't a championship player, not yet anyway

I’m guessing that you’re final sentence is sarcasm.

You say that like he's not already got his man to throw under the bus in place. Manning will go out and it'll all be about how we have a top 6 team and Manning didn't get them playing how he should yadda yadda yadda, meanwhile Nige is probably sat at home watching out of curiosity, wondering how he managed to clean up such a mess only for the board to come and **** it all up again.

It’s just pitiful resignation now I think. 

Did you mistype ‘relegation’.

[Out of his pie crust]

Had a few contrasting halves under manning, hopefully this will be another. Because that was er, not good

Well then that’s the head coaches problem. He shouldn’t make wholesale changes to leave the players confused; it should be a gradual transition. That’s ego 

Where are the "wholesale changes"?

PS. I'm no Manning apologist. But anyone with a brain can surely see this "transition" will take time.

And when it's completed, I fully expect to be bored shirtless by our keepy ball bollox - to you, to me. But if it means we win more than we lose, I'll take it!

Quite frankly, modern keepy ball bores me shirtless. And also shitless.

Few times already Blackburn found spaces between the defensive and midfield lines. Defenders not advancing/midfield not dropping. One to keep an eye on

A feature of how we play w/o the ball.  No definitive screen.  Spotted first game v QPR, and not something we’ve looked to do so far under LM!

[TheSpaniard]

Can see what players are trying to do, too many weak links…..Tanner, Williams Bell not good enough - knight not a 10 but no one else can play there.

We won’t go down.

Half time summary. 

[ChubStixx]

Dreadful. On to the second half!

A bargain for a player who now knows the Club and whose value must surely now be in excess of the original £2M price, especially having already effectively made a down payment of £700K.

Not down to us, just surmising what Manning could be thinking.

Has to be a reason he’s leaving him out consistently.

From me, yes. A para-phrased Jon Lansdown quote mind.

Crying out for some quality additions.

Some of these ‘boys’ are just not up to it unfortunately. Not for where we want to go anyway…

We could be heading to league one though so some of them will fit right in.

Agree with all this bar Cornick. Conway looked sharp with little service.

I agree - but I'm thinking about players I want around each other on the pitch as much as who's playing well. I think Cornick offers more to those around him, and if you can get Weimann, TGH, and Sykes in good positions they can all put the ball in the back of the net. I'd sacrifice slightly to try and increase our chances overall.
