Yeah, that's not happening is it. Seems to me as though we're nowhere near anything being agreed or finalised.

"Two main issues left to resolve" So apart from the fact we're miles apart on length of contract and transfer budgets, it's in the bag!

Typical Nixon Rovers set to offer Rowett deal in shock move! Next day......... Rovers move for Rowett breaks down in shock development!

Manager wise starting to think maybe the only sort of manager who can thrive under these idiots might be an up and coming Ken Furphy type who can successfully wheel and deal domestically on a shoestring. Would Challinor fit that description?

Exhibit A M'lud.

Wasn't there a rumour that a players delegation went to see RG demanding the removal of Ismael? Cant blame them for that but If that's true the players have properly mugged themselves off with that 2nd half performance today. The thing that worries me is that Oxford have a lack of quality but a bit of fight about them ditto Portsmouth and Charlton. I think Leicester and WBA have a bit of quality about them albeit they're currently in disarray. Do we possess either attribute?

Leicester losing and down to 10.

If the role of a holding midfielder is doing fuck all for 90 mins then he suits it perfectly. I somehow doubt that's what the role is really meant to entail.

Spot on jim.

We can't start another game with just Ohashi up front. Might as well not bother turning up.

Alright if you must, debate away. Did the square root of eff all today either offensively or defensively. As is generally the case. Just coasts through games doing next to nothing. Granted not the worst player on the pitch by any means and our options are so limited there's no one any better to come in. Not what we need in our current situation though either.

Not getting into a Tronstad debate but what absolute bollux. What with the solitary goal of the game and the clearance off the line? Oh hang on, that would have been Cashin and Jorgensson.

That option for Baradji doesnt look as tittilating as it did at first does it? Very strange player - looks like there's a decent player hiding in there somewhere but he isnt let out very often. Id still have him over Cantwell at the moment though. The last time I can recall one of our midfielders showing a bit of fight was Montgomery before he got injured.

We dont have the players to suit a JDT type either though do we? It's a tough one. We don't have the players with the ability to play the way a JDT would want to and they dont seem to have the fire in their bellies to grind their way to safety either. I think it points to a temporary appointment until the summer and then completely reassess depending on where we are. (Well at a normal Club)

Couldn't agree more, we look like we're going down and people are crowing about Derby (who are 13 points above us) losing a game! It's beyond weird. Also Travis would be the absolute first name on our team sheet were he still here with the absolute shower of shite we have in our midfield - and I include Tronstad in that, he might as well fuck off back home now as his heart clearly isn't in it.

I wouldnt blame him for the second, but for the first I thought he should have been saving the shot that hit the post that bounced back into play.

Much as Im a fan of his in general, very poor from Johnson today. Incredibly negative starting line up and reactive rather than proactive with his substitutions. Could do with the new man in asap now I think but whoever is in charge has some very tough decisions to make. Personally I wouldn't bother with Cantwell, Moreshita and Ohashi for the rest of the season unless we are literally struggling to get eleven bodies out on the pitch. There's zero fight in that midfield between Cantwell/Baradji and Tronstad either. Defensively we fell to pieces after Carter went off and Toth's gone back to what he looked like when he first came in. Incredibly shaky. All very worrying. Think we need a really strong character in now to give them a right rocket up their collective arses and insist that if we go down, at least we go down fighting.

Difficult to disagree, I feel like joining in with the Norwich fans chant of "Cantwell, what's the score?".

Well that's the end of that. Poor from Johnson today. Far too negative a starting selection, and only ended up with the sort of line up we should have started with after we went a goal down with 15 mins to go. No good. Reactive rather than proactive.

Well it was him not appearing I had an issue with so let's see. Couldn't have done any less than Ohashi had he been on from the start. There must be a bit of a problem with Gudjohnssen otherwise he'd presumably have been first on.

Get Moreshita and Ohashi off FFS. Commentators on Sky red button laying into Baradji but I think he's been a lot better than Cantwell who they seem to have a man crush on. Take it they're Norwich based. So frustrating - there for the taking with some positive substitutions. We need wins, we won't grind our way to safety with draws.

Fuck off Cantwell, it's up to the referee to stop the game. What are we a charity?

Yeah when you're slow and weak it's not a great combination. I've yet to see anything from Moreshita to justify the impressive reputation he had when he arrived. Ohashi did at least have one or two great moments when he first came. Overall I think we're playing a lot better than under Ismael but I think DJ was far too negative with his starting line up, Norwich are incredibly flat for a home side in their situation and the three points are there for the taking. Any two of the 3 strikers on the bench for Moreshita and Ohashi at HT and I think we'll nick it.

💯 Or at least Gudjohnssen and either Jorgensen or Afolayan.

Crucial clearance from Carter. What the hell was Toth doing from the corner?
