    Seems Tam is losing a chunk of the fanbase, there's only one way to change that. As others have said Pawlett is an impact sub to drive at tiring defenders, same as Clark, Harkes needs benching again, was much improved after he got splinters for a while.
    Be interesting to see who starts in midweek.
    He clearly has plenty technical ability, it's clear to see that. Hopefully today doesn't dent his confidence too much.

    Tam was always going to lose the crowds support, if he ever actually had it. The way he was appointed, and the fans' reaction to it, it was only a matter of time. I feel for him. He never applied for the job, he was chosen by Asghar. Quite rightly he took it. Who wouldn't? Rather than being backed, he's been hung out to dry with regards the transfer window which was blatantly a cost cutting exercise from those higher up than the Head Coach. He's clearly struggling & taking the brunt of the supporters frustrations, as a manager always does, while Asghar who made the appointment gets away scot-free once again.

    We do seem to be at a point where you have to be questioning what’s happening in the background. Big Max is the obvious one. On the face of it, today was crying out for something different with a big target man option. Yet he wasn’t even on the bench. Why? Did TC want him? Was he brought in over the Manager’s head? Who sanctioned it? Why is he not even making the bench? Is that a big phuck you to the hierarchy? Loads of questions needing answered right now.
