The players simply do not give a shit!!

JRC strolled about, Dolans touch was amateur……Hyam…..well.

Eustace couldn’t complain if he got sacked. 1 win in 13 anywhere else and you’re in trouble.

I genuinely believe we are going down. Other teams play each other. We will get a point against Wednesday and that’s it.

So according to Nixon we haven't completed the deal because we haven't got the money yet. 

I mean, I hate to be boring but that makes sense. It's usually a game of dominoes when transfers happen. 

For all we know his team have kicked up a fuss but what can we do if we've yet to receive the money? 

Thats called a “Nixon guess”.

We are the most farcical club in England! Hope we get Readings owners! 😂

Lewis O’Brien part 2.

Our name must be mud in the footballing circles.

Has anyone got any confidence in Broughton to get any quality signings over the line? 
 

With Travis and Wharton out the door surely we aren’t going to scrape through the season, that could be painful!

We've been the better team today and conceded 4 'cos we can't handle long balls into the box. It's insane. Basic, basic defensive skills.

We looked ropey against Cambridge ffs. 

Better team! 😂 describe “better team”

No subs at half time is a crime! 

I’m losing interest which is a horrendous thing to say but the players really don’t seem to give a shit so that seems to be transpiring!

The guy can not jump or head or shoot or dribble or pass or tackle or hold up the ball or lead the line or provide a physical presence or defend or score many goals 

He does fill a shirt though

Yet he is well ahead of Ennis, Telalovic and Leonard. Defenders do not like playing against Gallagher. He’s actually quick. He is very frustrating because i believe he has the physique to be a great player but he lacks aggression and that cannot be taught. 
 

Gally with no doubt upgrades our current team. £1.5m will not get you anyone close to Gallagher! That’s the position we are in.

to do what? what does he offer offensive and who would he come on for in the last game to change the game? 

He wanted experience Centre back and proven goalscorer and I hope we get that in this window. 

He is staying here. I will call it now. 

Travis wanted out for the last 6 months, he not playing and when he does play doesn't play his prefer role. Surely we should get rid? Yes or no

No, if Szmodics says tomorrow he wants to leave do we loan him out to Leeds? He’s our player and brings experience and bite.

We have a weaker squad than yesterday. Great work! You know you can question the hierarchy Chaddy you won’t set on fire.

I blame all this on Broughton. Can’t stand the man. He is well and truly out of his depth. JDT has quite blatantly asked for experience and we ship Travis out and sign 2 kids.

How are the half season ticket sales?  👀

Debacle!

What are we becoming?

Sounds like we’ve signed a 2nd Markanday!!

It’s one balls up after another. Who is holding these clowns to account? Getting embarrassing!

Even if you're of the view he made the best of a bad situation initially, I'd still maintain it is when you consider what he actually  did with the net proceeds I.e signing Wahlstedt.

It would have been easier to set fire to it.

Broughton is a fraud and is a massive part of our current predicament. He talks a good game but it simply stops there! 

We can’t sell Travis without replacing him with someone better! It’s as simple as that! This squad CANNOT be weakened it’s already cut to the bone and lacking quality.

Disappointment is the overriding emotion this afternoon when, not for the first time we didn't convert enough of the good chances and our current Achilles heel of weak defending hit us hard. The big lump of Eaves up front for them was a real handful and his aerial prowess was supplemented by Hugill later on as Rotherham's only real threat earned them a draw. I was happy with our overall play and the pace at which we played and we were well on top for long periods but at the back of my mind was the fact that Rotherham had clearly seen our main weakness and looked to exploit it. Their first goal is once again down to the ineptitude of our keeper which is now getting beyond a joke. It's at least a goal a game he is giving away and it's really hurting us. Their second came from Pickering and Sigurdsson simply not doing enough to stop the cross particularly as Rotherham had their two lumps on by this time. So, so disappointing. There were several good performances though and our play sometimes is so easy on the eye but until we really address our glaring deficiencies we will continue to shop cheap goals.

Decent summary and I agree with most of it. I have to disagree with the pace we played the game at however. It was too slow predictable and was walking pace for most of the game, the lack of movement was ridiculous. Our style of play requires non stop movement and options.

The times the midfield had to pass it back due to there being no options was outrageous.

The team look knackered! It’s literally walking football for most of the game! Slashing the budget after finishing 7th is criminal. Waggott and Broughton both need potting for me.

SW is clueless, the matchday experience is the worst I’ve ever known it. Atmosphere was dead, can’t hear the stadium announcer the TV outside the Blackburn end is a complete embarrassment too.

GB is a head teacher trying to play some sort of Euro scouting guru. He’s clueless and is a waste of a wage!

Broughton has to go for me. The summer recruitment has been as bad as I can remember. Most of those signings are playing a division or two above their ability level. What a shocker.

There’s people who think he’s great because he’s given new deals out! His signings have been shocking! JDT has been let down massively. He is an arrogant bastard too!

Is that really to the club relegation or down to the change of people social habits and activities over the years like people have? I used to go out in to 2000's but has time has gone on people have families and other things to paid for before going to the pub these days? 

It’s because the gates cut by half and so did the people visiting the pubs on match day! Stop being so contrary and accept others may have valid points.

its like arguing with my 10 year old daughter.

but was working when we were winning games in October and November? very few people were questioning JDT tactics then?

Or you backed Wahlstedt cos you believe he is right one for the team

which local businesses went to wall cos relegation Gav? 

At least 4 pubs around the ground! Thats without thinking of every other business!

JDT is not the issue, he’s not the finished article either. The blame lies with those above. Venkys have cut us down to the bone and whatever money we have had has been squandered by Broughton! Some proper shite signings that are only on the bench because they have to be!

I honestly believe Ennis and Telalovic are the 2 worst strikers in the league. The staff at Brockhall think Telalovic is shocking.

The cost cutting in the summer is costing us. You cannot play in the championship with the squad we have.

Telalovic must be dreadful he can’t get a game even though we’ve got strikers who are allergic to goals.

Not one player on our bench could come on and improve our team. Massive difference compared to other teams!
