I’m totally with you but what baffles me is do they just expect people to keep turning up to watch the tripe on show?! Attendances are plummeting (today looked very empty on the highlights) and will continue to do so in L1 so what’s the end game.

I agree but he pulled off good save to keep it at 1-0 late on. -

Really disappointing today, we huffed and puffed but didn’t look like we would have scored if we had played until next Christmas. I thought Cashin and O’Riordan played well but without some plan to score goals, we look doomed. The Manager has had a lot of issues to deal with, notably the fools running the club and the horrific injury list but let’s not forget that when he was appointed, we were sat in the play off places. The football is absolutely turgid, one win in 15 and just two wins at home this season, time to roll the dice but as we all know, he is a mere symptom and not the disease affecting our beloved club. -

I still can't fathom why they're content to set fire to money. -
I've never thought we were going anywhere but down and now we're finally being cut away from the rest - this would have happened earlier but for some fortunate results against some out of form teams. This is 100% by design. Now, who is responsible for that design is debateable - the owners neglect, Pasha's power trip, Gestede's football manager fantasies, hidden agent's money making scheme are all potential candidates. The only hope there is now is that a manager with some nous comes in and goes back to basics, because Ismael is way out of his depth and is somehow anchoring an already abysmal squad of players.

Funny game really. I agree (and always have) on the dross that is the 3 stooges (and the Raos obviously) but on the actual game itself was somewhat encouraged. It’s a low bar of course but we at least looked coherent and were actually in the game. Forshaw, despite his age showing simple class of getting and keeping the ball, no obvious daft errors from the team (Cantwell’s petulance apart), some nice team interplay. But, as someone said, it’s about what you do at each end. So, we can’t score despite some nice play. We can’t consistently defend. Thus we lose. Not offside –if the (ridiculous) chuckle brothers say not then it wasn’t. Definite abuse of Gestede from many in JW. Stewards called to intervene. -
Pretty sure and confident to say I'd of done better than that.

Looks like he had 3 good goalscoring seasons, one in the National League, one in League One, and one in the German second tier, none of which are the same level as the Championship https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/oladapo-afolayan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/487850/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id= -
They just hired a new manager, another total rookie. Massive, arguably very stupid gamble.

It's the relegation wage cuts that mean the most to the board. More money saved and they didn't even have to lift a finger 😂 -

Not played for 3 months but it's taken us 31 days to get it over the line in January. -

All he did today was try to ref the game then roll about when Cantwell gave him a love tap. I was expecting a lot more to be honest. Having said that the service he got was poor. He kept going up against the kid but O’Riordan held him really well. -

Assuming we get Afolayan over the line, I will actually be fairly pleased in isolation. At his best he's a direct winger who actually scores, and has pace. Clearly struggled to make jump from Bundesliga 2 to 1, and or lost favour with manager, but he was electric in their promotion season in 23/24. Doesn't make up for our usual incompetence and that he's not played for 3 months is obviously a worry, he would have been a perfect signing in the summer rather than now, but I would hope he will still be up to speed quick given he's not been injured. -

Can’t see Gestede wanting to get rid of him - he needs a yes man in place and someone not to rock the boat. -

I've been critical of Baradji but thought he looked solid when he came on, looked strong and seem keep possession better than he has done - Has an eye for a pass as well. Just needs to work on his positioning defensively, hopefully he's a slow burner. -
We were on about Toth,he's looked far from convincing since he came back.

Boycott Or Not?

Keep pushing the NAPM. A protest march soon with a few addedd extras thst I cannot say much about just yet. Also working on a way of current season ticket holders easily contacting club to tell them they will not renew next year. We have considered in ground stuff but it has been tried and failed so many times. No enough will do it if its red card, or dont take seat until 18th min etc. It then gives impression most are satisfied. The press will be our best avenue and we are continuing to make valuable contacts. Proving difficult to get the press attention in India but we have a few ideas. So if you are reading this Suhail, Pasha and Rudy, we are not going away. Ps Suhail, I hope your next shite is a hedgehog. -

Should have hit it first time - hard, low, on target. Ball can go anywhere then. Instead he stopped, cut back onto his weaker foot and blazed it over the bar. -

The happy clappers on the LT have turned looking at comments on Afolayan article, all very negative and attacking Gestede/Suhail/Venkys
