    Team. Manager and Board

    Well no matter what I say I will still be there at the next game supporting my team. However, things need to be said. Firstly the players there are two players who are being carried Aaron Lennon and Ben Mee. It hurts to say this about Ben but he is making to many mistakes and his distribution is poor, whilst Aaron still does not produce he is anonymous in the game. Neither deserve their place. So that is the players.

    Next is the manager/coach - the tactics are negative in the extreme and the quality in keeping the ball is non existent that is down to the manager we are no longer able to mange a game. Substitutions are to be questioned bringing one on in the extra time absolutely ridiculous. The negative tactics are also down to the coaching staff and it seems that the team is unable to keep the ball for reasonable periods of possession. We were lucky today as Huddersfield were the better team. The squad is stale and in danger of going backwards.


    Next up is the board who have not helped the manger or the squad to be better prepared for the season. Starting with the Europa it was clear we sold the club short of having any chance. It looks to me the board have worked out if we spend lots we will not win still not win the league or Europa so have taken the decision not to invest and take a risk that we will stay up anyhow. It is time SD says it as it is i.e. how many he asked for and how many did he get hence the reason why we are going through a disappointing period which may carry on all season and where that leaves us nobody knows.

    The players attitude Does not seem right""

    The tactics,...lol have we any?, Hoof and 90 minute sub, That is it!!

    The Board are just clueless , and way out of their depth...!!

    We inmo are higher in the league than we deserve...................

    Well City next, then Chelsea ,...So hopefully it might be a reflective time for our Chairmen to think about, what they could have done!! But They chose not to do anything,...And Alas here we are...

    What did anyone expect really, with our Board??

    My only argument with that assessment Lancaster is that the team is not carrying 2 players-more like 7 or 8 today.

    Ben Mee agreed - said for a long time he’s got a mistake in him every game ( today it was several).
    I’m a little reluctant to just single Lennon out as I don’t think either wide men offered anything tbh. ( other than Vokes goal cross )
    However in the defence of our defence it’s constantly under pressure for large parts of the game due to shape and personnel in front of them.

    Today only Hart, Lowton, Tarkowski, Taylor, JBG and Vokes came out of the game with any credit.

    What the phuck has happened to the rest?

    Just Tarky and Hart for me BT.
    I fail to see how JBG gets recognition, marginally better than Lennon today but not enough to get a positive vote.

    JBG got 2 out of 10 for at least trying and a further point for the assist.

    Well I didn't like to be too harsh but may be you are right that it is more than 2
