Whilst I would say that I am mostly happy with JDT and that we are third overall, there have been some alarm bells and this isn’t just about yesterday’s no show. We over play it at the back when it doesn’t suit the players in the squad. When we go a goal down, we might as well go home, as we aren’t getting back into the game. When we are bad, we are absolutely woeful and show none of the basics, like heart, fight and desire. I don’t expect us to win every game, but I do expect us to compete and it seems like sometimes we don’t even do that, which is a massive concern. Some team selections and omissions are absolutely baffling at times. I don’t think this is about over or under reactions, but more what I’ve observed so far under JDT’s stewardship.

Why, when we lose, do we look so spineless and like we aren’t trying?

I think the thing that annoyed me the most about yesterday was how it seemed to be treated as just any other game. No heart, no fight and no desire from us whatsoever. I’m so angry about that still.

Horrific today. Burnley the better side all over the pitch. Absolutely well shit. JDT and the XI out there don’t deserve to be paid this week. Useless cunts. They definitely don’t understand the importance of the derby. Absolute pricks, the lot of them.

We’ve been absolutely awful today. Created nowt and deservedly behind. Barnes is an absolute cunt too.

If Richardson is doing terribly and Wigan are struggling, they’ve every right to sack him, to be fair. Their own fault for making such a poor judgment call in giving him a big contract long ago. That will hit them in the pocket either way…..

We should have agreed, but Burnley can’t take the moral high ground when they charge £30 themselves…

I can see you’ve still got your sense of humour.

Are you deliberately overlooking your boys trashing the Darwen End toilets here?

This is our best current XI for me (owing to injuries), I don’t think Southgate will pick it for a moment like… Ramsdale Trippier Stones White Shaw Rice Bellingham Foden Saka Kane Sterling

It certainly can. We’ve mentioned the pre pouring before, but SW mentioned that he felt people wouldn’t be happy with a pint that could potentially be flat. (I know, I know, just reporting back on what was said).

We can, but we won’t keep a clean sheet there. Don’t even wanna think about how much injury time there will be if we are winning and how little of my nails will be left, that being the case…

12 minutes added on now. What the hell happened? Was someone decapitated?

To be fair to that lot, if the late equalisers keep happening, it isn’t just luck. Either way though, I’d love it if we got a late equaliser, or even scoring after going behind would be nice.

I said he would be the one to drop out of the three if we were to go to a back 4 based on current form…

I’ve attended at least half of those and the guy has looked like a weak link. As I said, I’m a fan, but there should always be room for improvement.

He needs to up his performances if he’s going to stay in the side. I’m a big fan of his, but he’s not been playing well for a while, for me.

Stop making stuff up- there are about 4 pages difference in discussion between the two matches.

Could have been 20 mins added on and we’d have still done fuck all. We show absolutely no desire or fight when 1-0 down and it’s a real worry.

Hirst, you can’t use your hand. I know you’ve not been good with your feet, but good grief.

Alarming lack of urgency for a team 1-0 down in the last few minutes. We also can’t even take a fucking throw in. What on earth was that from Pickering?

It doesn’t mean it’s right though, just because that’s the way it is.

This isn’t just about you, Chaddy. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/empathy

Play this shite, you can’t expect not to concede tbf.

We’ve been absolutely woeful. Luckily, so far Coventry haven’t been good enough to punish us. We really need to get to HT and get players in their right positions. (Vale on the bench)
