It's a cliche but the best teams have the best spines down the middle. You could argue that Fernandes is the best we have in that area. The others have their moments and in Pablo and Tatys case they run around a lot but none are top quality. Sure it's not easy getting quality in when you are near the bottom but we made an absolute hash of it after winning the Conference. 

[Massive Attack]

​​​​I know its early but i fucking hate Traore already, the absolute state of him. He doesnt fit into this team at all. 











 

Fancy substituting our most talented back in-form, goal-scoring Captain for a totally out of form new player who has a reputation for being a donkey that even Fulham didn't want.

Crackhead by name, Crackhead by nature. 

This signing stinks ....

Nuno insisted on the roid mess as well and Sullivan duly obliged whilst we've wilfully gutted out the Squad at the same time.

In fact after a 10 game winless run rooted in the boytom 3 he decided to reward Nuno with serious backing in the window of his former shit players or Mendes clients for a pretty penny, when he should have got sacked and given someone else a chance of using the window better. Still no new Centre Half ffs.

Thick as pigshit management since 2010 -
BS Trademark. 

[THUNDERCLINT]

Chelsea needed to change at half time and responded by bringing top quality £100 million players on. All we had on our bench to counter that was kilman - who has been dropped like a sack of shit, a couple of has beens and a few decent but not quite the finished article, kids. Ever since zouma, ogbonna, dawson left, we have needed a couple of CBs. It's been a massive failure in the transfer market for a few years now. Every other team in every league seems capable of filling these key positions with the best they can afford.



 

 

 

IF he needed to take a forward off and change the shape he could have dropped at extra body in the centre of midfield and protected the defence.

Inatead the gutless bootle job cսnt brought on Killiwise the win killing clown and turtled into his 18 yard box defensive shell.

WHICH WE ALL ALREADY KNOW DOESN"T FUCKING WORK.

Then he replaced Bowen with the roid donkey who started the melee that's cost us Todibo for 3 games.

Moronic cսnt needs sacking immediately.

[Mex Martillo]

But bringing Wilson on instead of Kilman was the change wasn't it? I'd have liked to see Wilson on for Taty. I'd be interested to see Pablo and Wilson together.

Struggling to post on what happened yesterday. Sadly, I was convinced we were on for a comfortable win. They get a goal, we're still winning, on comes Kilman and that's that fucked up. So sad. Fucking fuck.
See if we can overcome that in the must win Burnley game.

Remember you said that it doesn't bother you at all going down into the Championship, so all good!

[GBHammer63]

From Jacob in the Guardian "The defender will miss three games for throttling João Pedro but could have been followed down the tunnel by Konstantinos Mavropanos and Adama Traoré."
You have to laugh, good on Tabido for throttling the fucking Chelsea cսnt.

Would have been better if Kilman gave the Julian Dicks treatment on Spencer to the fucking poodle when he was down, massive ban would have helped us much more than Todibo being dismissed

[Nick QQQ2]

Totally agree about Kilman.  He was mentally weak in general but watching him now is actually a bit sad.  He is literally scared of getting the football.  Looks mentally shot to pieces, you can see it in his eyes and body language.   

[GBHammer63]

What’s the point of attacking teams and working hard to get in front when Nuno is itching to bring on Kilman? Nuno is like a cat with a half dead mouse bringing him on, it’s almost a torture, the look on Kilman face is almost begging Nuno to put on someone else, his confidence is shot to bits. Traore as expected, muscle bound wannabe bully with no brain. Todibo and the bubble need their bumps read getting involved, the cսnt Taylor had no option even though he’d already bought everything the rent boys were serving up.
All on Nuno and his tactics or lack of. More than a fucking HUGE opportunity to save our season wasted.

[Manuel]

I reckon it was kicking off big time in the dressing room after the game, clutching at straws but maybe the real anger they will be feeling will motivate them as from next week, but this is looking very grim, more so because the teams above us will pick up points. We could very conceivably be 8 or 9 points behind by the time we KO against Burnley.

[Nick QQQ2]

Nuno’s in game management is non existent.  I don’t recall seeing him react to what the other coach is doing and last night was glaring.  We needed legs in midfield not another CB who pushed us into our own box.   Took no accountability after the game either.  It’s super clear this bloke is tactically inept.
as for the players it’s hard to say they didn’t put in a shift.  Just got overloaded and like our manager most have very little in game management intelligence.  
oh and Traore is fucking awful.  

[Manuel]

Apart from everything else we now need to get some unexpected wins, and this one was that was in our grasp, but no we were not capable to defend a 2-0 lead, same as B'mouth. This defeat how it panned out is an absolute disaster, no doubt about that.

[fraser]

I've criticised him for negative subs before. He's thrown away points too many times already. But he didn't change anything at ht at 2 up and we had the first 3 shots in the second half so we started that better than they did. 

But they were all over us after they scored the first and we had clearly tired. Shouldn't have took Bowen off though unless he got a knock, and he may have done as he landed badly on his foot a few minutes earlier, gutting result though as we were superb for the first 55 minutes. 

​​​​​​The commentary team mentioned that they were recalling so many players back from loan and they'll all be good, it's obscene that they can do that and not a level playing field.and of course he had more options on the bench to try and win the game. No less gutting though and the most us losing has  got to me in ages.

[Manuel]

No excuses whatsoever, simply pathetic. 2 up and lose 3-2??? Just fuck off out of it. I feel physically sick after that.

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

We are 6 SIX POINTS BEHIND LEEDS

 

Its too much to overcome. Although the squad we have now is probably good enough to stay up we've left it too late, and we're hamstrung by a manager who sabotages potential results with poor substitutions and the wrong tactics. 

Burnley will turn us over next week, nailed on.

18 points he's apparently pissed away with his bullshit and that doesn't include throwing Brentford and Leeds or the surrender v Liverpool.

It's not the players.

Come off it .
How many coaches do these players of ours need before they grow a spine.?

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

We have dropped 18 points from winning positions so far this season. Fucking disgraceful 

And you can add 9 that he threw away against Brentford, Leeds and Liverpool.

..2 against Bournemouth. 

Yep..that was a proper surrender job.
This Porcho is on good money and he'll land on his feet whatever happens.   
We are the ones that will  suffer this shit whatever league we're  in
we will turn up ...laughable thing is   they clearly despise us .
Sending out girly threats via email ?.

[nychammer]

He stayed with the same set up until they started to get on top and scored.

Their HT subs were their best players and we were being overrun. We had to do something, but jesus wept Kilman on and trying to defend was not the answer. 

[only1billybonds]

Have to agree with 360. We know we can't sit back and defend a lead so at 2-0, surely we have to try to push on and kill the game?  The substitutions practically said to them, we're done, time for you lot to have a go. Nothing short of a capitulaton and though I didn't expect anything from the game,to lose the way we did after looking so good is sickening. Might have been better to have got walloped 4 or 5 nil rather than suffer the massive disappointment we did earlier.

[RootsRadical]

He stayed with the same set up until they started to get on top and scored.

[zico]

Feel sorry for Wilson. Not the most mobile these days yet Nuno puts him on when we sit on the edge of the area.

[Any Old Iron]

What angers me most is that the manger continues to keep repeating the same sort of mistakes.  Thanks to his fearful negativity he just can’t bring himself to stay with a positive set up. How often have we seen him piss about in the 2nd half and allow the opposition to take control.  We could be above Forest and Leeds by now if not for his cowardice.  
He well and truly fucked things up by his 2nd half mistakes today.  The bloke’s in-game decision making is atrocious and because of this he’s going to take us down.  

[Massive Attack]

Something that hasn't been mentioned I don't think is that I didn't like to see before the game kicked off that Scarles was needlesly dropped for Diouf.

Scarles was in good form and was part of a settled defence producing decent results in the Team whilst Diouf was off on AFCON duty until recently. If it ain't broken, don't change it.  

As I've pointed out previously earlier in the season, Diouf is all over the gaff defensively.
