Butterworth getting thrown on to show his worth when 4-0 down at home... we'll concede 2 or 3 more and he'll never be seen again.

Competent managers make it more difficult when down to 10 men, because they become more compact and work for one another. Tony has never made us defensively competent and it's the biggest reason why we can't compete with anyone half decent.

Except we don't even do this - we misuse them, and then when we have to use them it turns out they're actually decent but we can't fully cash in because their contracts have run down and they have no desire to sign a new one for someone who doesn't properly value them.

The amount of ego it takes to just pretend that your genius will stop the best striker in the league by not even trying to is astounding.

You mean he was massively mismanaged because we have a clown in charge who instead of using players to their strengths has to mess around "countering" every other team?

I forgot we were even playing tonight but there was no way we were ever going to compete. West Brom took us apart and got unlucky with finishing - Fulham are a level above them.

3 points in the bag despite the best efforts of our complete clown of a manager. This league is there for the taking bar one or two teams and we are absolutely being held back by that dinosaur.

Half our team has been booked in the last 10 minutes because we have offered NOTHING and just keep asking them to come back in waves. So unbelievably predictable.

Poveda managing to get booked for time wasting immediately... literally the most he's contributed all season.

Ffs. Here we go

Is there a manager in the league who doesn't outdo Tony with their half time team talks?

Well we better hope the starting 11 get the win because that bench offers literally nothing.

Letting Rothwell go on a free will actually be criminal. He's the only midfielder we have who is capable of producing anything.

Nyambe injured as well - him and Ayala priming Tony for the best possible excuses for not winning in our next 10 games

We are somehow level with Forest now. It's actually pathetic.

We got bailed out by starting the season against some shocking teams... we are dropping like a stone again. But yet again we only lose by the odd goal so Tony can pretend we were in it even though we offered literally nothing.

It all comes from the top. Crap, negative formation and tactics forces us onto the back foot and defending constantly makes you lose concentration and energy.

He's an "honourable" bloke don't you know...

It was coming, and it starts at the top. Get the clown GONE

He does it every season, because he thinks he's better than he is.

I can't believe Waggott charges the prices he does to watch this turgid dross and then is confused why our gates are so low.

It's mental to think that we've gone from having about 3 teams worth of midfielders to basically having almost nothing of use in that area in the blink of an eye.

But like I said earlier, the manager throwing him on as part of a shockingly poor team with even worse tactics is never going to do him good, especially after ignoring him for most of the season so far.

Tombola Tony strikes again. Looks like a massively negative side that is only going to invite pressure and we don't have the stones to contain it. Glad to see Butterworth starting , but if this team struggles going forward as I expect it will then you just know Tony is going to use that as an excuse to never play him again.
