Sugar Lyle and things

He dissolves in the box. When he goes to the afcon tell him to stay there. He is the worst centre forward since Les Lawrence. No pace, unable to anticipate, can’t control the ball, incapable of heading the ball and certainly cannot score or have any influence. How he gets picked and is kept on the pitch is beyond me he is totally out of his depth. I doubt he would score in the National league. With all that said I have to say the performance collectively was pathetic. The standard of football was Sunday school stuff it was horrendous. Their goal is the third goal we have conceded in the last 3 home games against Arsenal, Chelsea and now Palace the goals have come from the left centre and guess who was there each time - yes it was Esteve. The slowness of thought is baffling along with his lack of movement at corners is beyond belief. Esteve should be dropped makes too many mistakes. At least Ekdal had a reasonable game. However the lack of communication on the pitch is noticeable. Worst of all I see no pride, passion or desire in this team they just don’t seem to care. Clearly those who are not bothered can rely on their contracts that will have a relegation clause. At this level the Owner, Manager, Coaches and the players are unable to hack it in this division.

Don't agree that they don't care and lack passion and pride, of course they do.

The problem we have is that we don't have compact unit that have established themselves together like the old Dyche teams did, they stuck together solidly (Brits and Irish) and ran through brick walls for the gaffer, these buggers are only together 12 months then off because of relegation or promotion, they don't have the same team spirit.

By the way Anthony was to blame for the Palace goal he lost the right full back who ghosted in, whilst Anthony ball watched

Crikey mate have you got a very chronic case of trapped wind?

We constantly come out on the wrong side of games and results.

We keep on conceding horror goals at the back post.

Parker is far too loyal to certain players.

The coaching staff seem to me to be pretty clueless.

I have been getting dog's abuse on Facebook for posting what other fans call negative posts. Your post would get crucified.

The bottom line for me is the buck stops with the Chairman and he's in Spain.

Rudderless. Clueless. No leadership on or off the pitch.

Hard to see the point of winning promotion.

Are you watching same games as me Lancaster - jaidon Anthony was at fault for their goal - he’d have fit beautifully into VK teams where he constantly lets the opposition run of him and deliver ball freely into our box.

We can debate foster all day and we have done but ( and this is sad -) but he’s actually mobile and understands link up play and moving into spaces ( sadly we are a better team with him in it ). ( you’ll be telling us next Fleming will run the channels and do what foster does and turn it all around and score us the goals we need. )

Esteve definitely doesn’t need that slaver you dished him up

As for passion and caring look to the manager and his tactics time and again I’ve posted that he says it’s ok to lose to teams because they’re better than us - for me that just doesn’t work.

I think it’s stale and tbh we don’t know how to change it up - play is slow and laboured in a in flexible shape - we always play that way it’s like a habit you can’t break - how do we go fro
Sideways - backwards football to aggressive and speedy football with the same systems and our best players ( that can affect a game ) on the bench

Change has to happen.
