  1. Even if it turns out Eustace is a good manager (and very little of what I have seen gives me that impression) it won't matter. In the summer we'll shed a bunch of already poor high earners and replace them with freebies and children, and will go down next year instead. If he is as poor as I think he might be then we'll just look that worse doing it.
  2. Of the top 4 this feels like the most winnable, and we showed earlier this season that we can put goals past them if we go for it. However, I don't see us going for it under Eustace, and even if we did we literally only have Sammie as a danger. We'll play for a draw and hope we can nick it, so for me it will be 0-0 or 0-2. That said with 2 weeks maybe Eustace will finally have them playing.
  3. Unbelievable statement, it really is. No one could have possibly thought that would do anything other than fan the flames. It does nothing other than deflect and leave pretty much everyone as much in the dark as they were already. After the past 18 months for them to come out and act as if they are putting a ton of money in when they have slashed the budget to the bone and left it to rely on itself is a joke. Something needs to change, and in the immediacy Swag would be a good start, with the owners to follow.
  4. A point that in isolation looks good with a clean sheet and performance, but with the context recent results just isn't good enough. The fixtures next month meant that we absolutely had to win at least one or two of the games in Feb/March and we've failed miserably. Still absolutely nothing here to convince me I want Eustace anywhere near this club next season regardless of league.
  5. The one thing I need to know is - what was it that Owen Coyle of all people did that managed to make him seem a half decent Championship striker?
  6. I'd love to know what exactly they were supposed to be working on this week.
  7. I honestly don't see the point of us "utilising the loan market" every window when all we ever do is bring in players who wouldn't even get a game in the U21s. If we're going to play players who can't hack it at this level they may as well at least be our own.
  8. I think if he just came out and said "we were second best, we've got some stuff to go and work on in the week ahead" I'd be able to stomach him a bit more. Fans appreciate honesty, they generally don't appreciate blatant lying, especially after over a decade of it from almost everybody associated with the club.
  9. A couple of more games and he'll have a worse record than Berg and Appleton. No win at Boro and we should be seriously considering giving it to Damian Johnson, similar to what we did when Gary Bowyer took over. Gets on well with the players and is popular enough with the fans to bring everyone together for the final push. This anti-football is only making the fans turn quicker, and as much as he's pretending otherwise it doesn't look like the players are exactly into it.
  10. Ultimately, this is the biggest test yet - not necessarily in terms of opposition but Eustace has a week to prepare. If we're still as bad as we have been in the last week or so then I don't see how he can possibly be here after the international break (he wouldn't be at a serious club at least). At best we'll get a draw, but we've been lucky to even do that in the last week and even the customary Sammie goal won't be enough here. Boro 3-1 Rovers.
  11. Don't be silly, we were getting battered way before that and would likely have conceded anyway. Agree on Eustace unfortunately, he's got to go. He has less urgency than the players and that's saying something.
  12. Another team who swapped to a manager, difference being is that he wants to win games and understands they need to win games at home and take points away.
  13. Even if we hold on I'm expecting "It's a great point in the circumstances against a really good side..." Eustace out. Even Berg won a game ffs.
  14. Shock horror. This club needs nuking in the summer and starting from scratch.
  15. The worst part of this is that on paper this is the weakest team we have left and we're getting battered, even before the sending off. Our goal difference is going to get massacred by the top 4.
  16. It's really easy - if a team like Millwall is sitting back and we need the win, actually go for it. The fans will get behind you and push you into them, and the opposition will have more pressure on them. Tapping it around the back 5 and making no effort to win a game, especially when you are in the position we are, is obviously going to get the fans on your back. I can't remember the last manager whose interviews grated like this. I don't even remember Coyle being this annoying.
  17. Maybe it's his current comments but if we do go down I'd want Eustace nowhere near a League One campaign - I honestly can't understand what it is that has him so highly regarded at St Andrews. In any case, if we end up in league one it needs a full reset, with Waggott and Broughton gone. We won't be coming back next season without a miracle. On the game on Saturday, all the noises coming out of the team seem to be trying to offload all of the pressure onto the fans, which considering the run we're on is only going to backfire if they don't turn up again. I get that the fans in general are not in the best of moods at the moment, but that's why it require the likes of Hyam and Szmodics to motivate the team to give the fans a reason to make some noise. That isn't tapping it around the back for half an hour, it's actually going for it in arguably our only winnable game left. Rovers 1-1 Plymouth
  18. The more he talks the clearer it is that he was a panic choice because JDT was leaving and Waggott needed someone to spout pleasantries to try and keep at least the happy clappers on side. The sooner he goes the better, talks the talk and that's literally it.
  19. We had to win tonight and Saturday to have even a slight chance of staying up I feel. The lack of desire or effort shown yet again shows me that this isn't going to change. There are maybe five people in the entire player/management/corporate structure that I would care about not being here next season. I can take being awful, I can't take being awful and not trying.
  20. We will be desperate for money and we've proven we don't care about getting market value for players.
  21. Maybe he should give it one on the pitch for once. The fact that he's captain over Sammie is a joke.
  22. We're all in it together though! Why won't you happy clap along?
  23. They made a shrewd appointment instead of panicking and picking the first bum willing to take the job.
