v Norwich (h) - Good Friday - 7/4/23, 3pm k/o

[G Somerset Rover]

I’d wager than Preston will finish above us. They’ll dish out another beating to us in a few weeks time - that’s for sure.

[miqaayil]

In all honesty ....how does gally get into the team ?

 

do we have orders to remain a champ team ?

The players are bottlers. They’ll get absolutely tonked by Burnley. Season is over, develop the young talent for next season. I’ve no need to see anymore from players we don’t own (Morton, Thomas) or players we won’t have next season (Ayala, Dack, Brereton) or players we desperately need rid of (Gallagher). 

They have no bottle and yet are top class bottlers.

Football is a funny old game.

[ItsRoverZ]

Sorba on, should of been on at half time same as Wharton 

[DE.]

Think this is it for us. Awful result at home against a team directly below us. At the very least this was a must not lose. Failing to secure O'Brien and a striker was a killer blow, as most of us predicted it would be.

Nothing will ever change whilst we are still glibly talking about "projects" or "journeys" that may or may not come to fruition many years down the line.

We need a mentality that results and performances are required NOW and if we don't see them it simply isn't acceptable.

Players and management team alike. I'm not holding JDT solely responsible as imo he inherited a right load of shite and problems off Mowbray but it's not Mowbray's fault for example that we haven't signed another striker since he left

[yankfan]

FFS. They have 2 center half’s off and we can get a ball in from the wing.

Yes,been like that for along time and not worth a shirt, or a shit now I think of it.

We were better without him for a period of time. I'd take him off and replace him with Dolan but there are worse players on the pitch.

He's either carrying an injury or he's just coasting.

Yep. Second season on the trot that the death knell has been rung in January. It’s unforgivable.

By default. The only other recognized striker at the club is JDT…come to think of it, can we sub him on for Gally?

Comedy defending from JRC

Fucking useless and so predictable. Sitting here in a beautiful restaurant in Dublin. Thanks for spoiling my day 

Drink more Guinness and you'll be fine, just forget about donkeys trying to play with a round ball. Enjoy.

[K-Hod]

Pathetic today, absolutely spineless. Can’t believe how little character we show or how little commitment we show in 50/50s. Any loose ball is Norwich’s. Commitment and effort are the bare minimum, but we don’t do that. There’s no spine in any of them. Gallagher going half assed into a 50/50 with their keeper sums him up. Get rid immediately, no excuse for not going in full blooded. I can forgive a lack of ability, but never a lack of effort.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Have Diaz and Szmodics gone off and not been replaced ?

[andyroversmad]

It's a bit harsh to judge JDT until he has got his own team of players.

The majority of these players were signed by Mowbray and are well known to be a bunch of bottlers. 

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Throw A Wharton on FFS

Yet again:

No heart when it matters

No bottle when it matters

No clue what to do when falling behind

It's harsh. Our squad is so weak. We have no alternatives up front. JRC almost loaned out in Jan. 

Poor performance yes but we don't have the depth we require at this standard 

[Trinidad Rover]

So bitterly disappointing to have the wheels coming off this season when you think 2 weeks ago we were on such a high.

[Cherry Blue]

Double sub got to be Morton off

I won't name names but there's a widely respected player of the eighties who said to me, and this is at least six years ago now, but probably more "the first thing that venkys will get right is putting the club up for sale".

 

He's absolutely been proven right to my mind. It's just perpetual torment being owned by these pricks. Why they don't turn it in I have no idea. And to think there's people out there willing to forgive them. Staggering

How is Calum Brittain the answer here?

I've said it for years it's a long-term tax fiddle.

Yes please. Can we make this happen? Joking aside. How can JDTs coaching not run off on Gally ? 

[yankfan]

Wharton on for Morton…hopefully that’s the last we see if Morton
