The bigger that game becomes, the worse we'll play - so many of this team just have nothing about them when the pressure gets cranked up.

Tbf, every other team has a squad that can get stuck in when necessary instead of our bunch

Waggott's genius idea resulting us in potentially restricting home fans whilst maximising away fans... and then will complain about a lack of home fans I'm sure.

Interesting that everyone is focused on Birmingham here, but they occupy the lower of the two relegation places remaining. The far more worrying scenario is Wednesday - tonight means that that is 100% must win next week, but I have zero faith that we will be up for it.

Oh I agree - sorry, I meant that this would happen with admin or with the current owners if we got stuck in League One.

I must admit at one point I followed this trail of thought, but most likely relegation and admin would lead to the loss of the academy and training grounds and with the current financial setup in football and the new finance deals coming in we'd have more chance of regularly playing Stanley than Burnley for the foreseeable future.

Pretty sure that's worse than any of the JDT implosions. But we're totally more solid under Eustace, honest.

FIVE against a team as bad as Bristol City should be a sackable offense in its own right. What an abysmal appointment this charlatan has been.

If Eustace can get a red too that'd be grand. Utterly abysmal - I thought we'd turned a corner but we clearly just took advantage of a shocking Sunderland and a toothless Southampton rather than any real change from the manager. He can't be allowed to manage beyond the end of the season if Waggott's "stay in the league" target is in effect.

I appreciate the need to make subs and the fact that he's willing to do it, but I honestly can't fathom what the logic behind the actual subs made are.

And a cavalry of that quality is exactly why we are where we are. I really hope I'm wrong though as we need points desperately.

Yet again we ahow up in games where we don't expect anything and the second any kind of pressure is on them they wilt.

One thing I will add - I'm glad we managed to nullify Russell Martin football. A colleague of mine supports Swansea and waxes lyrical about him but for me he's up there with the biggest frauds in management. On to Wednesday now - a win there and we'll be more or less where we need to be to stay in the division.

A point we'd not have expected to take a month ago, so a good result in that context, but the results everywhere else are going to pull us back in to the mire again. That games against Wednesday is must win - I don't think a draw will be enough in that game.

I think having an actual midfield makes a big difference, especially with JRC's quality. One of multiple areas where we are severely lacking, especially after pushing Wharton out of the door.

There's surely no way, no way, even we throw this away... right?

Can't complain at that half way through, still think we need one more. Who is our second top scorer this season? It seems as though Sammie is the only one who ever puts it in the back of the net.

Yep, and thanks to the dire situation the caretakers of the club left us in we've cashed in as soon as possible when we could have got a bigger figure at the end of the season, in addition to actually having a midfield in the second half of the season. That said, Eustaceball may have devalued him a bit!

I notice Mr No Excuses spent most of the interview making excuses... again. No time for this manager at all, doesn't even talk a good game let alone play one. At the end of the season the best case scenario will be we're still in the Championship with a manager who will have won at most 1 or 2 games in 15 or so games. In no way should he be anywhere near the club come July 1st, but he will be, we won't invest and regardless of the league we end up in we'll have another dismal season.

If we go down by a point Hyam needs to be stripped of the captaincy for that. Well, in my opinion he shouldn't be anyway but that really does epitomise the lack of ambition and standards at the club currently.

We won't bother trying to win, and eventually someone will make a mistake because this squad just isn't good enough for this league. At best we will get a draw, which isn't enough where we are.

We are still in freefall.

There's one thing losing those players, the criminal thing is doing absolutely nothing to replace them. This is utterly unsustainable on every single level.

It amazes me that I still see comments asking why Ewood is empty when this is the bilge we serve up every week.

Considering where the team finished last season to be this far behind a newly promoted team, even one as good as Ipswich have been this season is a complete and utter failure on Waggott's part. Disgraceful
