Anyone got a rough idea of how much GR's pay-off would be?

 

[Up The Manor]

Just the corner flag announcement will do .Absolute pathetic shower of a performance.

Jerome asking Nick Harris where did it go wrong? Someone put diesel in the team coach

 

[Made-in-Jericho]

I’ve got a couple of season tickets lying around not really sure how best to use them.
Any ideas?… suggestions please.

Predictable.

 

[WRox]

Worst performance since promotion that.

No depth to this squad and too many L1 players exposed. Desperately missed Brannagan and Spencer. Tactics didn’t help.

 

[bazzer9461]

Swansea will not get an easier 3 points all season.

Blackburn won’t get an easy 3 points all season after Tuesday evening

 

[Osei Yaw]

Mate at the game said he heard Krastev saying this when he got subbed:

Не знам защо всички се оплакват. Не е като да загубихме от Хистън.

Which is a fair point really.

 

[Jster]

Bizarrely we out-XGd them, and out-xGoTed them by an even larger margin. Almost all of that was second half, and I suspect much of it right near the very end (Romeny, BdK, etc.) when basically it was too late to matter.

 

[Malc]

Well, that was rubbish. Lots to do in January .

 

[bazzer9461]

Robin on Radox absolutely spot on

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I must admit, after performances like that when supporters describe some of our players as 'league one' players, I do wonder how many of them would actually get into a top L1 team.

“ Gary Rowatt your football is s**t”

That’s got to be an error nothing above 1 should be on there

I know we had some really poor home performances early on (Portsmouth and Sheff Utd spring to mind) but it does feel like there's a massive difference between us home and away at the moment. Like two completely different teams.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I was after Portsmouth, Hull, Birmingham, Wrexham, Stoke and West Brom though.

So you want the manager sacked after every defeat. On that basis you want to give him a new contract after every win.

 

[TheDukeOfBanburyshire]

wtf was that?

That, Bazzer, was absolutely inexcusable.

Same last season I feel.

 

[Royalstandard74]

Predictable.

We are consistently inconsistent.

 

[Victor1986]

I reckon Rowett would really like to say that his players are not good enough. Is he worried (frightened?) of the board and that it would give them a reason to sack him?

 

[Matty Greens Left Boot]

That was dire. Another 6 pointer another loss or points dropped. Its pointless beating top table sides then losing to our competitors to avoid the drop.

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Strange no Dembele with Placheta injured and Goodrham unused sub when we needed something and a great cameo against Ipswich ...just a bit odd .

Except that is countered by the performances against Ipswich, Middlesbrough, Leicester, Coventry, Bristol City. Four of those 5 at home of course. We can be decent, just not often enough.

 

[headingtonoldboy]

The players have to take responsibility for their performances. GR can't do much once the game starts. I know he picks the team and the tactics but ultimately the players have to step up and show some b***s.

 

[Sarge]

through the course of a season we are going to get beaten, lose games. That does and will happen.

However, to put in , or should that be not put in, a performance like todays was is not acceptable imo, its not the losing a game, its the lack of any form of performance that really hurts

 

[Jster]

I thought today's game was calling out for someone like Dembele who can run at people and win us free kicks in dangerous areas.

 

[Last_man]

Genuinely cant string 5 passes away from home. Midfield depth is sorely needed we're constantly getting exposed losing these second balls and succumbing to the press too easily.

 

[Coffin Dodger]

So you want the manager sacked after every defeat. On that basis you want to give him a new contract after every win.

No, only after another predictable atrocious away performance.

 

[eraser]

I feel sorry for Rowett - he's come in with a remit to keep us in the Championship, The board are more interested in Indonesian shirt sales than getting some quality in the squad. He knows the squad is s**t, picking points up by flying by the seats of our pants at home. You could sack him - but that won't change the board mentality or the squad. Rowett is absolutely our best chance of hanging in there until we're free of the Kassam curse and can invest properly. If we appoint a manager with a football purist mentality we'll get hammered every week in this division - as Des found out. Give the guy a break and get behind the team. We're going to lose a lot more than we win at the moment.

We all have a bad day at the office.....but every game!!,???
