Snowflake RoyalMillsy Not a bedwetting kneejerk because I don't give a toss about the game, except FA cup money, and happy to focus on the league.
BUT
Cliche as it sounds, if he can't get a team of pros and decent players from a respectable academy to beat a lowly team then you have to question if he has "lost the dressing room" and that is basically game over for any manager, however good they may be.
How we bounce back (performance-wise) against Fulham will be critical for him as far as I'm concerned.
If you play a weakened side with youth players you give them a solid spine to play around.
Pauno's spine was:
Calamity Cabral and his first game in months
21 year old Holmes
Drinkwater's first game back
Osorio
Camara
Goalless George
He put two of his more senior attacking players out wide where they could be far less influential and gave us a dodgy limp spine.
No wonder we collapsed. He's utterly oxf*rd clueless.

Can't agree with this at all.
Rafael is not awful. Holmes young but plenty of experience, a first teamer (you now saying he shouldn't start in the league?). Drinkwater I've never been a fan of but against Harriers should be a piece of piss, Osorio I don't know, Camara looked great against derby and by all accounts was decent today too, and Puscas scored.
Not an unreasonable starting lineup when you want to win, expect to win, want to prevent injuries and give some players experience and match fitness.
But he should have been able to get them to win with a decent plan or inspiration. I suspect he just chucked them on and said "try your hardest" or something.
BUT even if you're right and his selection was ridiculous, either way this game doesn't look good for Pauno.
And he's earned himself two more injuries in the process. Yay!

I agree with Ian. Why did we not have some insurance on the bench in the likes of Swift and Carroll? This was always a likely banana skin.
I feel very sorry for Araruna. What a sad day for him and our football club.

AscotexgunnerLower WestRoyal_jimmy If Dai gives a toss about the club he will get rid right now
If Dai gives a toss about the club he will start getting to walk now
Mike Ashley is looking for a new club.
You know what, I'd take him as well. We would be better run for starters.

At least* it sounds like its only* a dislocated knee. And not his acl again which surely has to be better?

“Attempts” in the absolute loosest definition of the word. We hardly tested them.

ZipHound Yeah time to go
That was like the Burton result under Stam. Any last thought he might be the right man extinguished
Stam survived for about ten weeks after Burton. We can’t afford Pauno to stay in charge a moment longer.
