As we all knew, the defence is woeful. Lenihan gets an easier time than he should from our fans - very very average.

Kaminski has looked good. Screaming at the defenders which is good to see.

NOBODY believes we paid £7M up front. Haven't done that since the early 90's and Jack. 

Jordan Rhodes...?

Only getting audio, not even an option to buy the video pass!

I do not blame Mulgrew one little bit.

Waggott and Mowbray gave him a lucrative contract through to 2021 - that is where the blame should lie.

IMO, we have seen £millions frittered away on nonsensical contracts including extensions for likes of Hart and Smallwood to cover the extended season for 2019/20.

IMO, it really does beggar belief and it's little wonder we are seemingly up financial sh1t creek without a paddle.

I wasn’t apportioning blame, merely asking if anyone knew what the situation was. 
 

IMO....we’ve also seen Waggott and Mowbray make some shrewd investments which will no doubt yield massive returns for the club.

I’ll keep my pitchfork in the cupboard for now.

What is going on with Mulgrew? Nowhere near the squad for the friendlies today and no rumours or links to him moving on. Big chunk of the wage bill being wasted.

He’ll end up at Fulham

Yet another woeful performance in a game where you’d think they would be up for it. I just don’t think TM has this group motivated.

Summed up for me by footage at the end of a Bradley Johnson laughing and joking with their subs. 
 

Big changes needed in staff and players. 

Really poor tonight. Look nackered!

I’m sure we will end up with Cunningham again next season at lb. Other than that, I find it difficult to believe we will spend anymore money - we were up the creek pre covid, now we are certainly without a paddle. Armstrong will also be sold, currently the only non Dack asset worth much to a team above us. Nyambe possibly but clubs won’t pay big for him. Yet.

Assuming something like this: 

                               Fisher

 nyambe      New        Lenihan        Cunningham

                         Travis     Evans

          Gallagher        Dack        Holtby/Buckley

                             A.N other

I think Brereton will get loaned out, TM seemed very miffed after his sending off. Davenport is crap. Rankin Costello will fill a squad place with wharton, vale, butterworth.

Going to be fun.....

Mowbray dropped Raya at the back end of last season for ‘poor form’. Begs the question what does he think about Walton’s current contributions.....

We aren’t very good

Holtby is a quality player - cut above the rest of them.

Staggeringly poor all round tonight (bar two Holtby passes in the first half).

It really is inexcusable the players weren’t up for this. 
 

Not a red but utterly brainless from Brereton. 

Decent enough half - we’ve looked more likely.

Gallagher is way off the pace and quality required.

Holtby and Brereton look class.

Worst performance of the season on a day when we needed something.

Worrying TM can the these players motivated to win a game with so much on the line.

so frustrating.

We have lost our talisman Dack. Minus Lenihan our leader, Evans too and lost Travis in the game too. That on top of Rothwell. I'd love to know the cost of the first 11 of the teams in the top 10 today, we must be close to the bottom of spenders yet we are 3 points off the playoffs. 

BB is looking better by the minute. 

Agree - BB looked bright today. He is so much better running at players 

Got away with a point there - worst performance for a while, but let’s take it. Badly missed Lenihan, tosin was sloppy.

This league is crackers - how are we 3 points away!? 
 

on we go!

Positives: Nyambe and Brereton

Negatives: everything else 

Extremely poor today. Graham - thanks but your time here is done. That was woeful.

Samuel has looked a much better option than Gallagher. Pace and technical skill. Great option to have coming back at this stage!

Tosin taking the absolute piss this afternoon. 

Oozes class. With city’s problems at the moment I imagine he will make his mark there

Save of the season today...! Twice!

Brilliant half to watch - best for a while

Where has this new Samuel come from!? Looks very good. Confident and skillful

All depends on what the alternative is of course...…..the real question is who do we back TM to recruit? Anyone better?
