It’s not all so bad, I think a few of them will have ran 15km by close of play eh Val

Gotta wonder whether all the injuries are down to over training.

Hyam and batth were playing tonight.  We don't concede those goals 

A spectacular OG was definitely in Hyam's bag of tricks

[RTM08]

This is yet another game where we could have easily conceded 5 or 6. Appalling.

I get home from work, it’s 2-1, I sit down, it’s 3-1. 
I hate to see what happens if I go the the bathroom 😬

You'll see Val fall out of your arse

How can they not sack him

Because the manager at this club is not judged on results. They are judged on two things:

1. Towing the line and being prepared to work under this regime

2. Creating "assets" that can be sold on for a profit so Venky's don't have to put as much money in each year

That is literally all they are judged on. VI will not be sacked.

If we get a point from this game I'll show my backside on the town hall steps 😄 

This is horrendous. The players all look fed up and like they're going through the motions now.

I get they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them but they blatantly just ignore the glaring issues and it makes them look like complete idiots.

de neve 😞 

[davulsukur]

And subbing on De Neve and Forshaw is the solution to being 3-1 down.

[G Somerset Rover]

Any dissent from the travelling fans? Or have they all wisely started their cars?

[Waggy76]

West Bromwich are falling like a stone !

I cannot see us overtaking their present points total !

[Exiled_Rover]

LOL Forshaw and DeNeve coming on - and my tv is going off.

Never has a player improved in 6 months as much as  Hyam. 

He was slagged off from dawn till dusk on here and I'm sick of hearing it. What a load of shite. 

[den]

Look at the body language. Heads are down.

[bazza]

Stupid manager takes Powell off!!!!!!

Only know youve been high when you've been feeling low 

[DutchRover]

Ah yes Adam Forshaw, the scouse Yaya Toure as Ismael likes to call him when we are 3-1 down...

We have to change the manager now before it is too late. This is about confidence. We are drained of it and demotivated. 
Mowbray was too late last time. We can’t make the same mistake again. 

He should have gone at the very latest after the Wrexham game. It was clear he'd completely run out of ideas at that point. Should have made a quick appointment even if only until the end of the season and let them assess what was  necessary in the rest of January.

Edit: Oh dear Jorgensen.

Edit Edit:  Never fear, De Neve and Forshaw on. Trying to make it 1-5.

Mine went off at 1-0.

[WacoRover]

Forshaw, De Neve, etc, can’t see getting a goal back with these subs 

[KentExile]

de neve runs off the pitch with the ball

[MarkBRFC71]

De Neve is fucking pub league standard.

[StHelensRover]

I've said it a few times on here but it's always worth repeating. Scores of people applied for the job and this guy was the deemed to be the best candidate.
