He makes the point that they've not had much time on the training ground, which is a reasonable enough point. Problem is, we also have no plan or actual tactic. Yesterday, Plymouth either had a clear instruction that a simple ball over the top of our CBs would bring them success, or their tactic was changed early on to adapt. What did we do? What is our plan during games? I genuinely don't see it. It's like 11 lads are selected and the rest is just whatever happens on the pitch. This has been an observation since JE took over and it's genuinely concerning.

I've had pelters for this, but I'm sticking with it - Leo will become a good GK and play at a higher level than Pears ever will. Well, technically he already had (international football). He's had a poor start overall with us, but I think there's a very decent GK in there.

I genuinely couldn't get past the first sentence of that post-match interview: 'The effort the group put in to limit them to very few chances was amazing' Does he think that the game was played behind closed doors? We saw Plymouth have about 17 efforts on goal with our own eyes - and they should have been out of sight by HT. Baffling.

I wish I could be as optimistic as you are - Plymouth should have scored at least 3/4 in that first half. We sat deep and were wide open. A proper team today would have been out of sight by HT. The only surprise is that we managed to not concede more than one goal, though you do have to say Leo had a decent game. But then, the manager publicly stated that a point would have been a good result before the game (at home to Plymouth...), so at least we lived up to his expectations.

Warnock is exactly what we need as a club right now.

7 of the easiest games of the season as well. And yet he's spinning a point at home to Millwall/Plymouth as a positive result. Fuck off.

If he genuinely tries to spin this as a good point, or a positive result (presuming we don't concede again), he is an absolute joker.

We fail to beat Millwall, QPR, Plymouth at home - we deserve to go down.

Agreed - he’s usually a hard worker if nothing else. But he seemed a bit lazy and/or disinterested today.

McFadz should have been subbed at HT, their forward had him all first half.

Whilst it was (and it really was), it wasn’t even in the top 10 of ‘shit things we did’ in that first half.

Good start and nice finish for the goal, but after that we sat back and a better side than Plymouth score 3/4 in that half. Have to credit Leo, he’s had a good half and kept us in it. Concerning approach to the game though, this is one we need to win and a point just isn’t good enough. Opportunity for JE to prove his worth, we need some changes at HT or we’ll be lucky to draw this.

I think it's this attitude that isn't doing him any favours at all. We've gone from the JDT 'we'll try and beat anyone in the division' approach to 'we'll be happy to take a point at home to Millwall and Plymouth'. It's fine being cautious, but we've had enough winnable games over the last couple of months to put us well clear of a relegation scrap. You cannot underestimate mindset and attitude in professional sport. Tell players that a point at home to Millwall or Plymouth is a good result enough and they'll believe it.

Whilst Leo has been poor overall, I thought he was fine on Tues. Some good starting positions, handling and distribution all fine. Expect better for their goal (obviously), but the defenders have to take the bulk of the blame for that one. Feel some are a bit too harsh on him.

I think this is why I've lost any enthusiasm I've had over the last couple of years. JDT was that bit of hope that we might do something properly, show a bit of ambition - call out the incompetence we've seen for the last 12 years and forcibly challenge & try to change it. And now we're back to no mark / no ambition / towing the line / a new manager bounce that never left the floor in the first place / 'we're all in it together'... Absolute bollocks, the lot of it.

If we fail to win yet another home game against a side around us, we really have to consider if Eustace is the right man for the job. 'Just failing to lose' will not keep us up, we need to actually try to win some matches before we start playing the better sides in the division, in the run-in.

Thing is, it means we’ve been behind in several games we should have been winning. He’s had the perfect run of games to get us well clear of the bottom 3, yet we’ve won none and sit 2 points from the drop zone. In his own words: no excuses.

Impossible to disagree with this. Feels like they’re cheating the fans, themselves. I can accept us being shit if we’re grinding out results. We’re currently shit and failing to beat the teams below/around us. Eustace has shown absolutely nothing, other than to emphasise how much of a miracle JDT worked last season (and the first half of this). If we do go down, it’s completely deserved.

You could apply that same statement to most of the teams we’ve played since Eustace arrived. Dreadful tonight, no desire to win that game at all. Minus Szmodics and possibly Ayari, there is no actual talent in that side. We are going down, make no mistake.

He's guessing - nobody actually knows what is going on at the club, which is the most frustrating aspect. Talk to the fans. Give them the basic courtesy of telling them what's going on. Oh, and how we managed to cock up 3 x fee transfers in the last year (yet all outgoing deals and free transfers in went through fine).

We saw that he had a bit of talent, just never off the treatment table. And in the few appearances where he was, he looked overweight (for a professional sportsman).

If we were awful, but winning games against the teams around/below us, nobody would care one jot. But we're awful AND being beaten, struggling to draw against those sides. We needed a Warnock/TM/Big Sam type to get us over the line this season, then review options in the summer. We got a rookie who has shown nothing so far, nothing to suggest things will improve and he's apparently telling the fans to 'fuck off' at the end of matches...

There was a very real chance of it happening last time, but TM (in fairness to him) did a very good job of reuniting and rebuilding aspects of the club. Gets forgotten sometimes, but the role he played was absolutely vital. We now have nobody at the club who is capable of turning this nosedive around.

The bookies have shifted our odds. I put a bit on us to go down when JDT walked and I can currently make a chunky profit by cashing out. But I'll let it run; if nothing else, it'll be a small consolation prize in May.

I wasn't convinced when he came in and I've seen nothing to change my mind. And the most worrying aspect is that he had the perfect run of games to start his tenure with a few wins. We've not just failed to win any of those, but we've been awful to watch (Newcastle aside). No excuses.
