I can't say I'm surprised as I called this as a possibility at half time. It's a shit league with shit teams in it, and we have enough individual quality to make up for repeated, shockingly bad performances. 

Any decent team would have been out of sight by now. Stoke are nothing special. With a decent manager we'd be right up there challenging this season - the quality of the divison is so poor. Feels like we've wasted yet another chance to make a real stab at getting back up with a squad that could and should be doing so much better. 

A good manager would have us competing for automatic promotion with this squad. Especially with these resources.

Stop being silly. Just enjoying the goal. I know we could come top and you still wouldn't change your views. So am, ya , good for you. 

Don't talk rubbish.

Like we're ever going to finish top, or even make the play offs, with this bloke in charge.

At the very least top six is easily achievable with this team. If we had a manager who knew how to sort out a defence we'd be a real force. Venky's have always neglected the position of manager, though, which is why we've only had one season where we've ever looked like cracking the top six. That and the refusal to shell out proper money on the defence. Whether that's a decision from the top or just the decision of every manager the club has employed remains up for debate, though.

Why does Lenihan insist on challenging Branthwaite for headers?  Christ, it's amateur

Because Lenihan isn't and never has been a defender, and having him as the permanent fixture is imo one of the biggest issues we've had over the past few years.

I'd say simply because he's not very good - but it's not like we're spoilt for choice as far as CB options go.

I'd settle for a manager with a winning mentality, who can at least get his players up for a game.
