The goals are awful and Leo is obviously shambolic at the moment but for me the first goal is as much if not more on the defence.

the keeper has to claim it once it’s got to him but nobody would expect we’d just not win the header and let it through.

Hyam’s contribution for the second is just awful, not even sure what he’s attempting with that header 

That is the problem, I think the Team is so terrified of balls coming into the box with Leo in goal, that they are not doing the basics.

I was opposite ..got home from work sat down and by time I'd chilled I was close to one of those tiktok TV smashing clips , ended up in the doghouse as I lost my shit big time.

Gotta say, I agree. Yesterday I was furious. Hence earning myself a 12 hour ban. Not sure I can watch much more of JDT doing the same thing and expecting different results.

Anyone else worried Gally had injured himself running on, when he turned back to hand in his ring? 🙂

Wanting Travis in the team and solve our problems is like expecting Gallagher is going to come back and start knocking them in regularly.

They both needed replacing long before this manager came along.

As for the formation, I've seen Travis play as one of 2 holding mids and we were shit then too. I think the only answer is to have owners who actually give a shit. Actually, we had owners who couldn't give a shit before Venkys, but they had the decency to employ people who did give a shit in their absence. And that's the difference.

No offence but your fix might take a while to implement. Changing formation takes a week. I agree the owners are shit and the transfer windows have been shit. But JDT is not even rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic he is sitting on them saying "the band are still playing"

Travis got dropped last year for being abysmal. As a result he asked to be transferred and at the time most would have said good riddance. If you think Travis is the answer you must have missed this.

I said I was no fan, I have been calling for a change of formation for months. Like it or not he is the club captain with 200 games played he was never even given a chance this season to play as one of 2 holding mids, instead we have continued with a formation that is clearly not working.

He had kaminski sold and given Leo. Every game he’s let a goal in at least , 2 today. How can he be blamed for that. He didn’t sell kaminski and didn’t sign Leo . Have you seen the depleted shit he’s been left with. No one and I mean no one could get a this team above mid table. The blame is everywhere but JDT. He’s in the media everyday saying what we’re saying everyday . He has said what will happen without bringing bodies in , he’s begged for experience. Seriously what more can he do. Take Leonard off and put pat gamble in the defence . He’s got literally nothing to work with

He is in the media begging for experience while shipping it out of the team after freezing them out. I am no fan of Travis but it was obvious for weeks that we needed to change formation and get some protection into midfield because anything that goes into the box is a goal.

Anyone calling for the manager out be careful because soon the pro Tomasson crew will appear and absolve him of all blame. Normally happens after full time.

Injuries, owners, the weather, conspiracy, referees, whatever the case we are lucky to have him apparently. He is fat too naive even getting dealt a poor hand you really want more and a smarter approach. Shit owners and a limited/naive manager aren't mutually exclusive. You can have both.

The fact it was obvious we were in a scrap in January and we needed to change our style and keep our experienced players with some fight in them.

What does JDT do, loans out Travis as he is not in his plans. He should have been on his knees telling Travis he was changing the system to play 433 with 2 holding mids and Wharton as the 3rd.

He’s just as bad, sadly. 
 

The frustrating thing about all this is, we’ve not even played that bad. 

He is not as bad, he is a poor keeper with an error in him.

This guy is not even a footballer. Whoever scouted him must have been just having a jolly sitting in their hotel.

I think he is the worst goalkeeper I have ever seen play professionally, all this bollox about giving him time... he is getting worse!

Is Leo afraid of the ball?

I would be embarressed if that happened to me when playing in the park with friends.

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

He is ok defending corners.

We are seen as a desperate club, other teams will know we need the money and we will receive nothing but derisory offers for players, I don't believe anyone is offering 1.5m for Galla, if they did he would be gone by now. FFS we are loaning out players while we have a skeleton staff because we need to save cash.

When Moran gets his physical strength up . How far do you think he can go in the game?. His coach reckons he can be a superstar that he can go all the way to the top. Calls him the Irish Phil Foden . Is that a justifiable comparison?.

Look Andy you're doing your best and you're a good kid, you had a great start but you've faded recently.

Get you head down and get it together there is definitely a career for you in the game just focus on the here and now, the future will look after itself.

Messi would be perfect for the false 9 role like Dolan has played but lets be realistic it ain't happening and to be honest very pointless question. 

You signed players that fit your style of play. simple as. 

Is Dolan not selected for his energy and work rate? Two things you hardly associate with a 36 year old Leo Messi.

I read his quote on the day he joined us and it mentioned making us "A sustainable Premiership Club".

I'm just not seeing it? 🙄

Well obviously he didn't mean sustainable. And the Premiership thing was a bit of hyperbole. But we are mostly describable as "A Club" for the time being of course

Can only be a good thing If it means  bar of soap hands is a bit nearer to being removed from the fray.

I note Ennis is starting , is there no upper age limit for plying for the "under " 21's?

Maybe they mean Stone?

Oh wait, he still wouldn't get in 🙂

Very good, unlike your man but even he dropped off markedly in the second half of the season.

In fairness to Moran and I agree I was expecting more, but when the team is in a tailspin a 20 year old loan player is hardly the one you expect to take games by the scruff of it's neck.

While they were developing side by side, Brighton had higher hopes for Moran than Evan Ferguson so there must be something about him.

JDT has repeatedly said that he would rather win 4-3 than 1-0.

If he was going to tighten up the side with an extra midfielder or something I think he would have done it by now.

How does he feel about losing 1-3?

3 hours ago, Browjd said:

You have to laugh....

He wants to leave, has asked every week for the last year.

His wages are too expensive.

Over rated will be a flop over there.

Not the sort of player needed/doesn't match JDT style.

I'll just have myself a game of club apologist bingo.
