  1. He repeated the word "complicated" about a hundred times. Thinks it was a fantastic performance but also said we can't defend or score. Looked and sounded absolutely lost.
  2. Gudjohnsen did well for the drilled cross that bounced off De Neve into Ohashi's path, but what else did he do of note? Genuine question as I barely remember him being involved in anything else. Could be that my brain is already replacing that wasted 90 minutes with other, more useful information.
  3. Almost certainly true, but now it just looks worse for them as if they did inflate the number to make it look like we were spending, they now look more incompetent for supposedly wasting more money than we actually did. It'd be funny if the situation wasn't so dire.
  4. What was it, £2m we spent on Taveres and he can't even make the match day squad? In our position that is appalling financial mismanagement. If he's injured then OK, but as of two weeks ago Ismael said it was not injury related.
  5. De Neve actually does get into good positions and has pace. Unfortunately his final ball and general technical ability is far, far below this level. At best he'll get a few lucky bounces of the ball as he did tonight, but he's absolutely not the answer. Unfortunately neither is Hedges, or anybody else who could play on that side of the pitch. I feel for Alebiosu. The one player who has actually exceeded expectations, and in another season would have been judged as a genuinely great bargain pickup. Unfortunately he's come in at the worst possible time.
  6. Imagine Will Still, Marti Cifuentes and Liam Manning will all get the chop before Ismael. At best we'll be adrift and long gone before he gets the boot. At worst he's still here this time next year as we line up to face Doncaster, sitting somewhere between 18th and 24th in League One.
  7. Well, yes, you could argue it in that way. Just makes things even more depressing though. Genuinely think we could finish below Sheffield Wednesday. They may be having to play U18s, but some of those are probably more useful than our dollopers. A points deduction may keep them below us, maybe.
  8. I love the big man, but he's no footballer and most likely isn't hugely motivated by these pointless end of game cameos.
  9. Strong first half is pushing it a bit imo. We just about matched one of the worst teams in the division, and relied on a fantastic save from Toth to not be a goal down. Our goal came from a mis-hit shot from De Neve which fortunately bounced directly into Ohashi's path after the Sheffield United defence briefly disappeared into another dimension.
  10. He came in and bombed a half-decent side out of the playoffs. Won a few games when the pressure was off - classic Venky Rovers. This season back to how he started, an absolute joke. He's just a small part of a much, much bigger problem though. Our squad has been so utterly wrecked by the people above Ismael that it's tough to see any manager coming in and turning this around. I don't know if I've ever seen such a technically deficient squad. Our 16/17 team would batter this lot.
  11. Eustace saw what was coming, which is why he was so desperate to get the hell out of here, even if it meant going to a side who appeared to be going down. It's not being a snake, it's just possessing a brain.
  12. Hire a failure of a manager. Put an intern in charge of football operations. Sell all Championship experience. Buy a bunch of random cheap punts from abroad. Predictable end result is predictable.
  13. Fuck me. Pasha, Rudy, Ismael, get in the bin you absolute idiots.
  14. After sitting down with Rudy for an hour on his podcast I imagine he wouldn't even answer the phone.
  15. Would require those in charge to admit they are wrong. Seems highly unlikely unless there is a direct threat to either of their positions as a result of our nauseous form, which also seems unlikely as there's no indication the owners have any idea or indeed even care about what is going on.
  16. Kargbo has negative zero football intelligence. He seems to think offside is the ideal outcome.
  17. A team that had scored four goals before tonight, with only one of those coming away at Oxford. As far as luck is concerned, De Neve scuffed the assist for our goal, he didn't even mean it. If it had gone the way he intended it'd probably have ended up in Row Z.
  18. Should be down to ten, and that was before the penalty shout. If anything we're lucky it isn't worse.
  19. Sheffield United had scored 4 before tonight. Now they've scored twice. Fucking shambles. The technical level of this squad, bar Cantwell, is diabolical.
  20. Gudjohnsen's low drilled cross was the highlight of our goal. Excellent, precise ball with pace. Where did the Sheff Utd defence go, though? The majority just seemed to vanish.
  21. Been really shite all season tbf. Amazing to see a side that finished 3rd with 90+ points last season collapse so spectacularly over the period of a few months. There's some great individual talent in their squad, but they don't play like a team. Their players should be bossing this division but at best they're usually competitive. All three relegated clubs have had the same problem, although Leicester the least poor of the bunch. You can see why the three of them made up one of the worst collective bottom three teams in PL history last season.
  22. Amusing to see De Neve's scuff somehow end up as an assist. 1-0.
  23. Brilliant save from Toth. We're wobbling.
