Mariappa not tracking back and losing his man who then slots the ball into the net. Mariappa has been shite recently. That's 2 new CB's to add to the shopping list over the summer.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but we defend like fucking cunts.

Hard to argue with that really.

tbf Leigertwood was just walking too and let the midfielder run straight past him

[The Prisoner]

Have to say the ref has been a proper turd

[Mike Hunt]

I am baffled at taking HRK off... McAnuff still a favourite...

[TBM]

That was in

[Archie's penalty]

Once we lost Hope, we lost hope.

Karacan too. Should have been a midfielder tracking him IMO.

[Big Ern]

That was a goal...replays show it over the line....then again,won't effect our seasons outcome

[Camel Royal]

O well, we knew we were shite, confirmed. Got to stick with trying to play football and build for the future. We look so pedestrian, they move the ball and we look like kids (and not skilful ones either). Lot of work to do!

I do like their keeper - very calm and confident

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

Karacan is anonymous once again. Get rid in the summer.

I try.

Boruc needs to go and buy a ticket for the lottery...

[Esteban]

Looks in. For as poor as we have been all season, we've been on the wrong end of poor decisions far more than we've benefitted from them.

[Pool and Darts]

Team selections really is akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. No real quality anywhere in the squad with maybe the exception of Kebe. To be honest we never look like scoring from open play when Kebe is out.

This ^^^^

And I was right then? Oh well.

Just agreeing with the sentiment of wanting this season over and start again in August.
Don't go twisting my words into statements of support for all your policies!

We all know it and can't blame the effort. Players are just not good enough for this level, but worse is that we don't have basic keep-ball skills or a system that makes things happen rather than hoping - bit the English football disease. Clear it's a big step-up to the Prem but not sure we'll even be a good Championship side like this. The football we played in the McGhee era compared to this 'desperate' stuff is chalk and cheese. Adkins good Champ manager and tries to play football gives hope.

[Ouroboros]

I can blame the effort today, actually.

[The Prisoner]

We look gash. End of.
