Problem with United, is they’re being judged by the standards of when Ferguson was in charge.

The reality, is that none of their players are really of the level required to compete at the top level. They’ve also overpaid for a lot of those players, to boot.

Every manager they’ve had since, has ultimately ended with the same outcome. 
I’m sure we can relate to the last sentence and compare it to any manager of ours under Venky’s….

The biggest mistake they made was getting rid of Van Gaal. By far the best manager they have had since Ferguson left

One of the most iconic moments in the 153 years of FA Cup football disallowed by a machine. It really does sum up modern football. VAR has to go it is killing the game and sucking all of the joy and emotion out of it.

VAR killing football. Just sucking joy out of the game.

The owners gave Broughton £1million and he spent it on Wahlstedt.

And the half a million he was given to spend in January was spent on a centre half who can't even make the bench.

I'm not sure if the clown noticed but we had a 'magnificent' chance today. Also given where we were when he became manager I'm not sure I'd be using the word magnificent when talking about scrapping to stay in the league. That rather says it all about his standards and ambitions.

One of Wednesday's own players said that it felt like a home game.

Outside of Carter, Wharton, JRC, Tronstad, Szmodics I wouldn’t care less if others left. And we’ll clearly cash in on Szmodics for under his value. 

Is Wharton's heart in it? Third game in a row he's come of injured. This is a bloke who was moaning about not playing the other day. That challenge for the second goal summed him up, soft.

Get rid. Put in some useless tosser from the lower leagues who is out of a job in his place. If the Raos want non league football we may as well start now.

Have they not done that already?

Sack him tonight and get Warnock for the last 2 games.

Callum Brittain you're shocking 

I said it the other day on here. In terms of attitude and ability he is on a par with Bradley Orr. As are my feelings towards him.

Would be happy to never see Pears, Brittain and Hyam in a Rovers shirt again. 

I can't believe what I have just fucking seen. Jesus Christ

Half hearted tackle from Wharton and half hearted tracking from Brittain.

Compare that to the committed challenge from Vaulks and the desperation from Johnson to get on the end of the ball.

If those teams played regularly in the champions league, they’d absolutely improve, playing against better teams. 

Honestly I'm not sure they would just look at Celtic as an example as that. If anything the gap just gets wider because what happens when a side has a good season their team is raided by those richer clubs, Celtic's best player in the Champions League last season was Jota as soon as Saudi money came in for him this summer he was gone. 

Outside of the so called Premier League 'big 6', Barca, Real, Bayern & PSG the rest of Europe cannot compete for any sustained period. The rest of Europe is simply developing players for them to buy at overinflated prices in a market that those 10 club especially have overinflated.

Take Porto (probably the last real surprise winners) after 2004, their manager and best two defenders went straight to Chelsea and their best player in Deco went to Barcelona. Look at Ajax a club who previously produced the finest team that I have ever seen they have had 1 decent season in the Champions League in years and not long after it its best 3 young Dutch players in De Jong, Van De Beek and Di Ligt all moved on and Ajax have done nothing in the Champions League since. Monaco made the semis in 2017 then in the summer they lost Bernardo Silva, Mbappe, Mendy & Bakayoko, followed Fabinho, Lemar & Moutinho the next summer.

Plymouth getting rewards for not messing about and quicky acting to correct their bad managerial appointment. Since the change they have won more games in 3 matches than Eustace has managed in 12.

Don't really read them to be honest, not much point whoever is giving them. I don't really see what Eustace could have said last night after that, which wouldn't have been jumped on. 

I also think we'll survive,assuming we do, if we can't go into next season with a fresh start,he will be onto a loser from the outset.

It should be viewed as Eustace keeping us up and starting with a clean slate, but I very much doubt it will, unless we have an amazing start. 

If we go up or if we go down, the only way to start any sort of fresh will be with a new man in the dug out. But of course it will never be a completely fresh start until the ownership changes.

It’s OK slagging the manager off but I doubt very much that he’s telling Hyam - “ The next time you’re chasing a long ball out of defence with a striker breathing down your neck don’t put it row Z, try and get the ball under control and beat the guy “ is he ?

Ditto Brittain -  “ Don’t volley the ball back up the pitch, miss your kick completely so their guy has a run in on goal “.

Making the correct decisions, at speed, under pressure is what separates the good players from the also rans. It’s hard to coach. 

You can make excuses like that for a one off game but the bloke has 1 win in 13 games. To coach the top players you need to show yourself to be a top coach at this point Eustace doesn't even look like an also ran.

Not helped, but December and January are the games against relegation rivals that JDT couldn't win that have really hurt us.  We failed to beat Rotherham, and Huddersfield home and away.  Same with Plymouth. 

Eustace against relegation rivals has drawn at home to Plymouth, drawn at home to Millwall, lost at Swansea & lost at Birmingham. Win just one of those 4 games and we are all but safe.

7 minutes ago, Parsonblue said:

Personally, yes.  If he was still here we would be relegated without doubt.  He lost interest and the players in December.  One win and six defeats in December and in his last four games in Jan/Feb it was two draws and two defeats in the league.  We lost away to Sheffield Wed and Huddersfield and then only drew with Rotherham and Huddersfield at home and lost to QPR at home.  Those results are really hurting us now.  For me, its those two months, when we had winnable games that have really come back to bite us. 

You'd never think reading this that the man who replaced him has 1 win in 13 games and has us closer to relegation now than when he took over.

If we do stay up it will be because of how JDT overachieved with this spineless, self entitled  squad in the first 4 months of the season.

Does anyone think we'd do worse under JDT?

I think we are seeing now that the man worked wonders in the first 4 months of this season. And if we stay up (which I think we just about will) then it will be thanks to the miracles that he worked.

When you look at this squad it is very reminiscent of that Coyle season. Past it centre halves, disappointing loans, no real endeavour or shape. We have lost a fantastic dressing room that Mowbray put together, and those big figures have not been replaced. It is really showing

We've got a manager on a par with Coyle as well.
