Could the 2 million from Ipswich for Gallagher have kept the lights on long enough for us to keep Wharton (at least until the inevitable sale in the summer) and almost certainly retain status in this division? Either way, it's an extremely odd decision not to have sold him, the lad is, and has been, so so poor from day 1. Aside from defending corners against us he brings sod all to the table and is probably our top earner, it's incredible really.

Buckley. The great slight hope has morphed back into someone's washing blowing onto the pitch. How many false dawns with this lad before we call him out for what he is? A nothing player.

Wow..Hyam with another howler. This is beyond a joke now, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is deliberate.

Brum 1 down

Well at least we're giving it a go......

Swansea 2 up....

Christ. Gallagher showing his class this last 15 minutes....

More like bottom 3 alert

Hmmmm, I like JRC but is that another sick note thrown in there??? Vying with Dogshit Dom for captain of the dinghy?

A big half time for Eustace is this. The 'no excuses' culture has to start now with changes in both personnel and attitude on the pitch. Anything less and he's as much (if not more) of a problem as the players are.

Not wanting to be left out of the spotlight good old Harry Pickering gets in on the shite defending gig with a woefully underhit backpass.

Hyam putting in a Shane Duffyesque display here. The rubber dinghys are inflated and ready to be manned. What a gutless fucking bunch they are.

Fucking dreadful Hyam. Awful.

He'll be throwing himself off it if this is as good as it gets.

Garbage. To be 50 odd minutes in and not have mustered a shot at goal is appalling in such a big game. 0 wins in 10 games is a terrible stat for the manager but the fact he has not stamped any sort of identity on the team is far more damning. I honestly can't see where a win comes from.

Dreadful this. We're second to everything and have so little quality when we do have the ball.

Pretty sure we were interested in O'Riley before he went to Celtic.

When did they sign Ding Junhui?

When you look at loanees in this division such as Zaroury and Carvalho at Hull and the excellent Mikey Johnston at West Brom it really puts into perspective how shite ours are.

I was apoplectic when we messed up that short corner in injury time but now I can't stop giggling about it, hilariously bad.

I know it's been said if we sold Gallagher we'd replace him with someone worse but on that showing it's hard to think who could be. So so bloody bad.

What a finish. He really is indispensable.

Horrendous stuff

In horse racing parlance Gallagher is on a non-going day

It would explain the large influx of horse shit at the back end of August and January.
