I’d rather see what Hedges can offer. We know what Giles can or can’t do.

Refs can cure that with what they have in their back pocket. He should have booked two or three of their players as soon as they all got around him.

I’ll always be a fan but my level of commitment varies with my faith in the club moving forward. Obviously the last ten years has been a rocky ride for us all. I’ve said this before and I might be in a minority of one but I’d have sacked him when he got us promoted. I think he’s a very limited manager/coach who is pretty unlikely to take us to the next stage. The last few seasons haven’t proved me wrong. We’ve had a great two months this season but the wheels are coming off now and he’s scratching his head as to how to put things right.

I think he’s had long enough to do something with the players he’s had. Time for a change. I don’t dislike him as a person I just think he’s taken us as far as he can. It’s all getting stale.

The ref was rattled by the time Dolan went down, Fulham had been all over him from the first whistle. He was obviously thinking “ The next chance I get a card is coming out “. What happened to this “ not surrounding the officials “ edict. It was ridiculous yesterday.

Looks like we have to fit Giles in somewhere. Given his complete lack of a right foot I suggest Right Back.

After the first time Van Hecke tracked him into midfield and got done like a kipper I though we need to change this. Either Johnson picks him up when he comes into midfield or we just let him go and keep our shape. At least he was moving away from goal and a good way out. The same thing must have happened half a dozen times and Van Hecke didn’t get the ball once. Each time he got out manoeuvred by Mitrovic. They had a plan for playing against three centre halves right from the off and we didn’t have an answer. Solving problems like that is what you pay the man on the touch line to do.

At this level the manager can make a massive difference.

Rabbits in the headlights yesterday. Mowbray doesn’t sign the likes of Mark Hughes or Andy Todd. He never has here.

Exactly. Is “benign “ good enough for you and will it be enough to keep us up next season when half this team leave in Summer ?

We didn’t yesterday, it was like men versus boys.

Let’s see where we end up in May.

Yeah, but our players just stood around and let it happen. As usual. Fulham were in the ref’s face all the game. And with the linesman. Sooner or later that pays off. We needed to do the same.

Mitrovic’s a cheat. I had to laugh at his attempt to do Kaminski early on when he pretended to be hurt himself. The guy’s a con man. Still he got away with it. The ref fell for it hook, line and sinker. They obviously though Kaminski could be rattled.

We’ve had a good two months. Since the New Year we’ve been bobbins and this guy hasn’t got a clue how to turn it around.

Everybody has said his cricketing knowledge was second to none.

That’ll sell a few season tickets - not.

If we play anything like we did today I’d rather not bother.

We’ve missed Bererton’s ability to carry the ball from the half way line to the penalty box at pace. When we had him and Rothwell both at it we looked good. We signed Brown, Giles, Hedges, ZeFuik and the lad from Spurs in the window and so far not one of them has contributed in the slightest.

I don’t mind losing if we play well but that was dog shit. This is going to be a post Lowenbrau fuelled rant. We looked like a pub team at times. Fulham were always in space, plenty of easy first time passing. Tosin could wear that kit for the next game, no need to wash it, he never broke sweat. We needed two touches most of the time. Playing a left back on the right wing was a new one on me but you live and learn. Giles must be the most left footed left footer at the club. A pro footballer and his right foot is for standing on. Pickering’s no better, he’s another one footed wonder. What is it about left footed players ? Why are they all so one footed ? I like Van Hecke but he got told his fortune today. First he tracks their striker into midfield and gets no where near the ball, bit of a theme there today, then he gets back to cover but makes a complete balls up of an header my mum could have put into touch. After than Kaminski fumbles a “ shot “ he could have stopped by throwing his cap on it normally. He chose our biggest game to have his worst game of the season. I thought he was at fault for the second as well , he came, went back, then came again. Too late. Their guy showed our two of Khadra and Buckley how you put away a close up chance by simply getting his toe under the ball. After that Fulham went into third gear and waited for 2-30 pm. Game over, damage limitation time. I could say “ a game lost in team selection”: It was nonsensical and the sooner the guy who chose it is gone the better. Kaminski 4 . Lost us what slight chance we had of winning the game. ZeFuik 4. Get on the treatment table next to the ginger bread man. Do we do fitness tests or do we just say “ Feeling ok today ?” Lenihan 6. Did his best but got a card when the game was gone. You’ve got to question what goes on in his head , he’s the bloody captain ffs. Van Hecke 5. All at sea today , he got a football lesson from their No 9. Having said that he never gave up and his head never went down. He’ll be a better player for today’s game. Wharton 5. Got pulled into midfield for their second goal. Other than that deeply ordinary. Pickering 4. People were telling me - “ Wait while we get Pickering back, we’ve really missed him”. Really ? He looked like he was running in treacle most of the time. Giles 5. How is it Kenny never played Graham LeSaux on the right wing. He might has been a smash out there. Obviously Tony is smarter. This guy hasn’t impressed me so far. Travis 6. Usual Trav performance without the obligatory booking. Johnson 5. We could do to buy him some roller skates to help him around the pitch. Playing both him and Trav = no creativity in the centre of the pitch. But we knew that. Khadra 4 .Like a dog chasing a paper bag on a car park on a windy day. Dolan 5. Tried hard as per usual but not much end product. Unlucky to be carded when Metrovic should have two cards. JRC 5. If he’s a right back I need to get my boots down out of the loft. Having said that I’ve seen him play worse. Gallagher 6 . At least he looked like he wanted to be out there. Unlucky with the “ goal “. Rothwell 6. Looked like a footballer when he came on. That’s a plus in my book.

It doesn’t matter what other teams are doing if we can’t win our share of games.

The problem with that is even if we sell BBD for 30 million how much will we see of it ?

Our other back up centre half is currently going well at Portsmouth.

He’s another who hasn’t got three games in a week in him.

The fact that they’ve spent naff all on the ground gives the lie to that.
