The starting line up.

[ballcock]

The majority of last nights starting 11 are stealing a bloody wage, the lack of effort was on another level.
They have spent all week in mourning after the loss of Parker and this spilled over to last nights shambles, they really are a weak pathetic bunch of individuals who aren't fit to wear the shirt

Questions have to be asked why this was allowed to be tolerated so long, and wtf as Pace been doing?

Like to add, that we have seen handfuls of performances like Leeds away all season, why this as been allowed to continue from a professional organisation is beyond incompetency

[ClaretinBudapest]

There were just two players who put a shift in last night.The first was Tchauma who ran around like a madman for most of the game and got his reward with a goal.The other was Hannibal after he came on despite being booed with every touch of the ball he looked a class above.
As for the rest.Hartman looked like he was already on a plane back to Holland in his head-good riddance.Laurent league 1 standard at best cant even run fast.Humphreys cannot pass,tackle or track back and makes stupid mistakes.Ekdal League 1 again, Esteve good solid Championship defender but cannot head the ball or make forward runs, Walker looked way past his sell by date , Anthony lightweight and got bullied non-stop,Flemming looks like he was already looking to his holidays the a new club, Ward-Prowse ok but waste of money at 85k/week.
Two out of eleven looked like they wanted to win last night.Enough said.
Who the hell is in charge of recruitment is my question beause they need naming and shaming.

Tchaouna runs around like a headless chicken, but at least he does run around and looks like he wants it, he might be OK in the Championship.

I've paid attention to him in the warm-ups mon ami he has one hell of a dig on him. I could not understand why Parker would not give him a run of games.

Mind you, lots of things Parker did made no sense to me.

I’ve said it before. Jackson had to be complicit with Parker and last night proves it. The entire back room needs a shake up too.

I think sinkov was spot on when he said Jackson just went with Parker's starting 11 out of respect.

Well that’s a man without backbone and self esteem given the crap he has witnessed

I kind of get the feeling - everyone loved. Parker he was ok with all the staff and players.

However unfortunately whilst I accept some players are more talented than others - the minimum requirement is 100% conviction and behind rubbish tactics ( sorry )
As nice a man as Parker was he still ruined the club

Agreed but somebody recruited Parker so they are also culpable.It was mind numbingly boring when we were winning last season so they must have known what it would be like if we were losing week in week out and boring at the same time.I used to think Dycheball was negative until I witnessed Parkerball.He makes Sean's teams look like Brazil.

Ffs Tchaouna got his chance early doors and he was ****e apart from the wonder goal against Leeds, so don't blame Parker for not playing him.

I suppose you actually played football ballcock? If you did you will know it takes at least a proper run of six consecutive games to see if you can settle into a side and make a difference. He never got that chance.

Parker persisted with Laurent but Tresor, Tchaouna and Edwards never really got a look in.

The centre back pairings Parker tried never really worked, we had no presence in the centre of midfield despite having Ugochukwa and Florentino to pick from, no bloody wonder we have gone down.

In retrospect Parker should not be allowed anywhere near an EPL team, he's totally out of his depth.

I'm certain a Chairman of a Championship club seeking promotion will give him a job. Bristol City perhaps?

Remind me not to bother watching that game then BT.I would rather weed the garden than witness any more Parkerball even if it is the opposition.

Agree that everyone in every walk of life needs to be given a fair crack of the whip, but in the case of Tchaouna it was obvious that he wasn't ready for this standard of football and needed properly managing. Tchaouna is only young and was imported from overseas like Florentino, these type of players can't be expected to hit the ground running, they need time to adjust to their new surroundings and culture

And you saying he was $hite would have helped him build confidence I don't think.

Talking about $hite, WTF is Foster?

I think Foster still has not had enough time to adjust to his new surroundings and culture....

It's ok giving someone 6 games to prove themselves at 3rd tier, at Premier League level you have to hit the ground running. The standards are so high you can't afford to carry anyone.
