So, so sad. No way back for Ismael after this. He is utterly unlikeable which doesn’t help his case. Toxic from top to bottom. Fans deserve so much better. Better days will come

Oh oh. Not a good look in his interview today. Bayes challenged him on not going over to applaud fans in Portsmouth last week and he said he did - essentially saying fans are lying. Strange start.

If you listen to the BBC Radio Lancs interview, Andy Bayes asked those questions. The answer was depressing. Essentially they are going nowhere.

Can all the fans who have had 'open and honest dialogue' wit Waggott please step forward? What a load of b*******s

I’ve had to have a beer after that. Absolutely grim.

This is horrific. Defensive. Lies. ZERO accountability.

What has happened to Tyjon? A lot of noise in the summer and him signing his contract was a big deal. Has he been injured or just not kicked on?

The fatcuntroller

No he won’t. That will cost money. The situation will become untenable though between him and the fans (it likely has already)

Bet that will bump up the season ticket sales…..

I’m staggered at how badly this has gone. He is woeful.

Do we know why Makhtar was dropped? This is bleak beyond bleak. As another poster said, they want it more. Players are still sulking about Eustace. But god grief….this manager is a shocker.

If he is worth that…..what was Adam worth. Further example, as if it was needed, of Waggott’s/the clubs incompetence But come and buy your more expensive season tickets folks!

Staggeringly shortsighted and poor appointment. Just ghastly. But are we surprised? Stinks of Gestede. The team is still Eustace’s and half of them are at Derby already. Dont blame the guy - 3.5 years on the gravy train. Will become ugly when we’re 20th and he’s still not fired. Won’t be many in the stadium or left by then anyway. Heartbreaking

Crap.

Travis and Dolan muttering to each other on the bench. Probably asking each other if Eustace has called yet.

This is mind boggling

Have we though? It’s the only position they’ve spent money on (Wahlstedt £800k, Toth £1m). The problem is crap recruitment. Neither of those were nailed on starters, hence we’ve been stuck with Pears. We are shambolic in every way.

VI must be on a salary of cup of tea and a biscuit each game to get that length of contract. Seems utterly bizarre. He won’t be here next season. We are crap.

Not been as angry at a performance for a while. Derby are crap. Our lot just chose to surrender. Images at the final whistle all we needed to see. I don’t blame the player, Ismael or Eustace. The buck stops with those wretched, repugnant, minging excuses for owners.

So lacking in quality. They are bottom of the league for goodness sake.

Absolutely livid with this no show. Pathetic and no excuses. Eustace grinning away makes it even more galling. Dolan and Travis will be pleased for him though.

Concerned the players might not go into this one all guns blazing. A number of them have been very vocal about how much they loved JE, hoping they don’t try and help him out, even unconsciously. That said we can put a strong team out. Wouldn’t play Dolan, feel Cantwell might be better off the right with Ohashi’s energy through the middle.

Player purchases: £1.4m. ONE POINT FOUR MILLION. Significant investment - aye, ok. Infuriating and wretched.

Nice work if you can get it. I would be fairly confident the highest paid director is Suhail though. He is essential delivering what the cretins want: cut costs, keep us afloat, minimise need for investment.
