Not sure if there was any tactics yesterday or if they were just instructed to boot the ball up the pitch as soon as, no passing no interlinking, it was just ****e, the pole can do one, useless, Barry old and worn out, Phillips headless chicken, McLean plenty of effort no skill, Rodriguez, Was he playing? Rondon well enough said.
Jonny Evans either waiting for everyone to go so he can pop over for a Big Mac, or thinking about the summer and his new club, or both.

Summer top to bottom rebuild, can’t see another manager coming in now and end of season just to get relegation on their c.v.

New manager I would consider would be Dean Smith, Gary Monk, Pearson/Shakespear or all of them together would be okay.
keep Pardew for remaining games, let him feel the heat and all the vitriol that goes with it, oh and take that Hammond **** with you.
i can't see us turning this disaster around anytime soon. Our "star" players will jump ship. The Championship is un unforgiving league. 3 games a week against teams who'd love to kick lumps out of the players that stay.
We can't get anything out of teams that are near the bottom of the Prem, why should that change against teams at the top of the Championship?

We're at yet another critical point in our history. We need players who'll roll their sleeves up and get on with life in the second tier and a manager who can mold them into some kind of unity.

On both counts I have my doubts as to whether the executives at the Albion have the slightest idea what's required.
