As they should be. We've sold our crown jewel to keep the lights on ('cos our owners are embroiled in a tax evasion scandal at the moment) and we've publicly embarrassed the club for a third time in 12 months by deliberately sabotaging a transfer through an 'administrative' error on deadline day. They're lucky anyone turns up.

I don't think Pears is playing any better than Wahlstedt. The return of Gallagher and the addition of McFazdean means we're actually winning headers at set pieces again. We were losing every aerial duel in the box for months before that, which was why we were shipping goals.

Yes, he picked the team. He even came down from the stands in the second half.

To play 3-4-3 you need athletes upfront and out wide. Brittain, Hedges and Gallagher are athletes, but nobody else is - and we know the final ball / first touch of two of those is terrible. Szmodics has scored twice under Eustace, so he's hardly sidelined him.

Bloody hell. I'm one of the JDT diehards, but even I can see that Eustace has come in and quickly picked up 6 points having been handed a squad massively out of form. I expected nothing from today, away against PNE or, quite frankly given our club history, away at Cardiff (we usually gift out of form teams a win). The football isn't pretty, but it's effective. We've nullified Cardiff, PNE and Norwich in back-to-back-to-back games. He's grinding out results. It's not aspirational football, but we're not there anymore - the Venkys have seen to that.

Must be nice to be allowed to bring in two coaches with you. JDT was only allowed one. God I hate this team.

I still think many are being very unfair on Garrett. He's barely played any football. He desperately needed a loan out in January to a L1 club - instead he's being thrust into the middle of a relegation battle at 20.

I think Leonard is a better footballer than Gallagher. Let's see where he is in a couple of years.

We upgraded on quality, like for like, but it cost us £4m to do so and the squad depth didn't improve.

I went out for the second half - tell you what, that's a cracking save from their 'keeper for the Dolan chance.

We went down to 10 men and Mowbray didn't alter his tactics or formation at all. He really was a stubborn, arrogant prick.

I'm not entirely sure that's the case. He was certainly behind Tronstad and A. Wharton in the pecking order - and I gathered that to be able to afford Moran they had to ship out someone. I don't think JDT was happy that it was Buckley. I'd also argue that we need to cool off on the Buckley hype - he's flashed like this before. He needs to do it over 5+ games before I think he's turned a corner.

Oh you can't put Leo back in now, his confidence is shot - but I do think he's the better GK of the two and will go on to have a more impressive career. McFadzean has made the world of difference to our defence imo.

The taps have been turned off for over 18 months. If they don't turn them on again in the summer we're going down I'm afraid.

He's a star man playing with an almost free role as a #10 in a 4-2-3-1. You've seen the last few matches that he struggles playing in a front 3. I don't think many teams are going to play him with a big CF up top either. I don't think there's quite enough to his game to attract PL interest, so I can't see him leaving.

He's not better. Pears had 3 CBs in front of him now, including McFadzean, who wins most of his aerial duels.

Take the point and the clean sheet and move on. We usually gift a win in these situations - away from home, midweek, a team in dire form. It's a nailed on loss.

I think Ayari, Chrisene and the french CB are free loans - the parent club saying "would you mind taking them on for 6 months 'cos their initial loans failed. We'll let you have them for free".

They've lost 7 of 8 - this is manna from heaven for them.

Based purely on that half of football, Szmodics was our worst player. You can also see why Coventry fans said Ayari is too lightweight - he's skillful, but he's been brushed off the ball far too easily so far.

I think he's alright. Athletic and big enough to play as a defensive WB.

He's the best athlete on the team (maybe Carter is a better one, but it'd be between those two). He just doesn't use it enough.

Hyam booked for winning the ball.

He's not the only one, but he also needs to play much, much better. He's been shite tonight.

What has the player said?
