For everyone's sake, JDT needs to leave. In his own words, this isn't what he signed up for. His heart isn't in it, hasn't been all season. For a while now, his continued employment has been detrimental to both the club and him. He will relegate us, no doubts. Our defensive record this season has been truly embarrassing, some of the goals we concede are the stuff of amateur football.

That said, I do think JDT will go on somewhere and be a good manager, he's already won league titles elsewhere. He just isn't what we need. 

Cap in hand to John Eustace and pray to God he wasn't just a flash in the pan, like Beale is proving to be.

Edit: additionally, JDT said in his last interview, after offering to quit for free, the club said they didn't want him to go. He ended up moving his family over here. That is likely the only reason he's still here going through the motions.

I like JDT as a person. In the right club he will be a very successful manager. Even though we missed out on the play offs last season, it was an exciting season, particularly with the cup runs. I feel for him having to work under clowns.
 

However we are going down with him in charge. He has lost the heart for it. The revelation he offered to leave in summer speaks volumes. Ive heard from a very credible source that he has lost the players and morale is at an all time low.

Yesterday the QPR manager never stopped remonstrating on the touchline. Conversely JDT was hiding away in the corner, sinking  into his chair. What kind of message does that send to the players?

Tactically he has lost the plot. Anybody with half a football brain can see we need to tighten up at the back, go back to basics with aiming for a clean sheet and rebuild. Instead he persists with this inverted attacking full back philosophy; how many times did QPR exploit this? 
 

What were the substitutions about? How has Moran played a full game? How has Hyam played a full game? How has Sigurdson not been criticised by him for hiding away on the left?

Hyam is becoming a massive disappointment and should have been hauled off. Mcfadezean did more on the sideline with his encouragement than Hyam did on the pitch.

With 10 to go, and desperate for a goal, why not send on John Fleck? The lad has played at a higher level than anyone else in our squad. Instead he brings on subs who actually weakened the team. The epitome of his ego getting in the way…. I can’t possibly bring on Fleck because he isn’t up to speed with my system. 
 

Sadly JDT’s ego, with his stubbornness of playing ‘that way’, is sending us down and to oblivion. 
 

Just to add to that, QPR's second goal, their lad ran into acres of space. Moran, Tronstad and Sigurdsson were all just casually jogging back. None of them were busting a gut to get back.

Or JRC on the right and Chrisene on the left? 

 

What wrong with the system we play which is 4-2-3-1 formation? What would you change? 

Hedges on the right, Chrisene on the left and JRC in the middle.

Looks like we screwed up, again

Aside from the post match circus that was yet another dreadful home performance. Whether McGuire signs or not it won’t matter as we create nothing for him. It’s a team of kids shoe horned into positions and a way of playing they are complete unsuited.

I can only guess that the JDT fan boys don’t actually go to Ewood because it’s been complete shite all season. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Jon.

Not really a team of kids today though:

Pears - 25

JRC - 24

Hyam - 28

Wharton - 26

Chrisene - 20

Tronstad - 28

Moran - 20

Dolan - 22

Gallagher - 28

Szmodics - 28

Sigurdsson - 24

Even more concerning we put in such a poor performance with those players.

We're getting sucked into a relegation battle we don't need, unless we end this dismal run the unthinkable might happen . My verdict dreadful performance. There was no hunger or will to win, Stoke  will be rubbing there hands for the midweek fixture against Rovers. We're good at giving teams who are on a dismal run a helping hand with 3 easy points.

 

We're not getting sucked into a relegation battle, we've been in one for weeks.

I don't know if it's been reported on here as I haven't read through the recent posts but I was told today that Tomasson was actually sacked yesterday by one of the male Venky siblings but reinstated later by the woman Venky. 

And there it is. As we all knew it was to begin with. The REAL problem with this football club.

Irrespective of how much you rate/don't rate JDT, these latest revelations have made it impossible for us to continue as we are. He must be released from his contract, he's not wanted to be here all season. Staying as we are, takes us into league one.

JDT's hearts not been in it for the whole season.

We're not getting an equaliser, are we?

Basically we've got like 1 minute left to give ourselves a fighting chance of staying up.

10mins added time!

Crowd turning. Slowly.

Only 5 points away from the drop zone. This was a must win and we've fucked it up (as you'd expect)

0-2 we are off down 

FFS nothing changes

0-1

Get Ennis on.

He came on at half time! (for Stoke)

Qpr make a triple sub. JDT being reactive rather than proactive again?

We're very fortunate that their forward can't make a good decision to save his life.

Won't be long before he gets one right though

2-1 Rovers, QPR are 💩

We aren't great either though.

Gotta win this to put some good distance between us.

Who's playing in centre midfield there? There's only Tronstadt who's an out and out recognised CM. 

Looks like Moran is taking Wharton's role. Not sure about that personally.

McGuire aside, all other new signings look to be in the squad at least
