    I’m beginning to think Bilic is clueless on defending!

    I like the guy a lot but he’s just not got a grip on us defensively either last season or this one.

    I don’t want us to play the way we did under Pulis but you can have the Dawson,G Mac,Olsson and Ridgwell type back 4 at no detriment to the forward play.

    As long as you have a Mulumbu type defensive midfielder and someone alongside who can pick a pass then the forward 4 can be as exciting and expansive as 3 of our present 4 can be especially if Krov returns.

    These lightweight fullbacks with no defensive brain and centre halves who can’t mark,jump or read the play are no good to us.

    There are decent defenders out there and we need to find a few even if we get relegated because the present situation can’t continue.

    Our present crop are absolute s h I t e.

    The first Brentford goal tonight was Albion before Megson type defending.

    Clueless.......pathetic and inept.

    What is Bilic doing in training?

    The cross could’ve been cut out and the looping ball to the back post resulted in defending that would’ve left me embarrassed on a Sunday morning 20 years ago!

    The three men stood watching the bloke launch into the overhead kick was just pathetic.

    Totally unprofessional and symptomatic of players not willing to give enough for the shirt.

    Bilic needs to get a grip and fast.

    At least defences under Pulis were solid albeit the football was s hite!! Sadly - we have no strikers either so without Diangana who will get injured at some point and Pereira - what the f uck have we got?

    Chelsea must be having sleepless nights on their forthcoming visit to us!!! Where is Krov? Is Lai wanting Grant for a million?

    I hope I’m wrong here but I’m starting to wonder that given the time these potential deals for Krov and Grant have taken, that it’s all a smokescreen for Lai to do nothing?

    The outside impression is we’re becoming what the motor trade refer to as ‘tyre kickers’. Wasting peoples time when there’s no real intention to buy but I guess it makes good headlines that the club are showing some ambition in the market. Really hope I’m wide of the mark.

    Think you are spot on Stripes! Both Benfica and Huddersfield must be disgusted with us! There's such a thing as a negotiation but another taking the p iss!

    Come on guys, isn't it about time that we did something about this Lai individual as there is a danger that he is going to ruin our club. I am not a protestor under normal circumstances but I think the time has come for us fans to let our feelings be known. We can't protest in the normal way as fans are not in attendance at matches and I'm not advocating that we have any protest marches. Have any of you got any ideas on how this can be done? I suppose a petition is one method but I've not got the technical nous to do it. Any ideas?

    I’ve been on about this for ages now Leics.

    Maybe someone with online nous can help set up some kind of protest group.

    We need to start flooding his business email address with complaints as well.

    In the off-chance we can secure 100,000 signatures for our cause on the UK Government and Parliament site there is a possibility this could be considered for debate in Parliament.
    With the threat of that hanging over him Lai would be quaking in his tiny slippers
    🤣🤣🤣
