Team selection - wrong

Not buying a proper Championship level centre half in summer - wrong

Spunking £7m on a striker with potential when you needed a defender - wrong

Thinking you’re Pep Guardiola and Dack is the English Messi - wrong

Thinking that Williams is a Championship level LB - wrong

 

Agree we need a real CB but he hasn’t spunked £7m on a striker - he’s done it on what he thinks is a winger! Don’t worry Tony, no need for a Graham alternative.

[Husky]

5minutes added time just proves that they often just make this figure up.

[yellowsubmarine]

Dont worry, this is the best dressing room. Everyone is happy with everyone. Everyone loves coming to training. Its a rosy club at the moment.

I'd say he handed it to them with a great big bow on. There was only him and Bigdogsteel who thought starting without a striker upfront would yield positive results.

[blueboy3333]

It we stop being negative on a forum we can still turn this around.

I’m feeling a taste of the ‘Gaz Bowyers’ right now.

[Norbert Rassragr]

Probably the first absolute hammering this season. Sounds like a shambles, but last time the club was in this division it happened almost every game. Hopefully it will shake out any complacency.

Except it was a right shit go.

There's no shying away from it, that was the kind of performance where players should be paying travelling fans ticket and travelling expenses.

A spunkless disgrace!

The starting line-up didn't give me much confidence, and it quickly proved to be the case with just ten minutes gone. Mowbray must not mess about against Wigan; Graham up top, Dack just behind, and Arma and Reed in the wider positions. Round pegs in round holes.

Kasey Palmer is garbage; send him back in January. I'd rather we try somebody else, other than a footballer who should be busking on the street with circus tricks.

Palmer is a luxury player not a grafter which we need in the Championship. Agree. Send him back. We are a mid table side at best on today's showing

Cowardly display in a game like that and Mowbray's rabbit in headlights tactics cost us, this was Oldham away all over again.

I dearly hope i'm wrong but there seems to be a touch of complacency setting in judging by today they are all believing their own hype, battling loses get a free pass from most fans but shit like today from most players AND manager deserves a panning !

New contracts doffed out left right and centre doesn't mean they can switch off when they feel like it i'd damn well not pay many of them today after that. Hope it's just a blip, get back to basics against Wigan and stop trying to be clever.

Oh and get a fricking decent striker in January for gods sake, how well could that 7 million have been spent on the forward line for this team ?????????

Embarrassing, worry for me is we did not seem to have our usual spirit, never give in.  Like we gave up after we scored.  Cracks starting to show?  Very upset.

Think a number might be brassed off - don't know when they'll play or where they'll play.

Too many changes and too many square pegs in round holes.

[blueboy3333]

Mowbray should be ashamed of his and his team's performance today. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

A comprehensive drubbing and a wake up call for all concerned.

Are you actually a moron? 

I have said in every single post that I thought it was a bad idea to not start a striker.

I was watching him when Nyambe charged down the right and cut the ball back and he was literally slow jogging.

[benhben]

We have a lot of competition and multiple players who can cover the same position.....but some of them just aren't good enough. 

It's gonna take multiple transfer windows of good purchases to make us promotion contenders. 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Haven’t seen such shambolic defending for a long time, ruthlessly exposed today. Maybe our defence always needed Evans and Smallwood in front of them to look any good.

Sadly, it's not the first wake-up call.

We've rode our luck on a number of occasions this season.

Expect days of 'Bowyeresque' cliches from Mowbray.

Hmmm I reckon Mowbray will be pretty blunt
