Donkey at the back for WBA cleans out Moran and then is baffled why he got booked.

Warnock in for the rest of the season.

They wouldn't pay him enough and he's got more sense

Gary will be fuming.

JDT out. 

Can't organise a defence to save his life. His tactics are abysmal

JdT probably lucky we can't afford to sack him. He's not been backed I know but it's a results business and some of those teams we should be beating 

I agree. The cause of our problems is and always will be in India, but it shouldn't take much for a manager to realise we are shot confidence wise, leaking like a sieve and time to move away from tippy-tappy at the back nonsense. Get 5 at the back 2 battlers in midfield and set up as disciplined as possible to eek out points.

JDT is just as bad as Mowbray in his inability to halt a slide or alter tactics if plan A is not working it seems.

Wow this defence is a shambles...

God help us.

This looked likely from the moment the line up was announced. Venkys obviously remain to blame for where we are, of course. But JDT's selections and (total lack of) defensive coaching is contributing massively to this week after week of pain. He can't be immune from criticism for the repeated awful calls in selection and tactics. If he can't improve the defence then whats the point of us bothering turning up?

The players at his disposal can't play his style of football and he's not willing to compromise on it. Can’t organise a defence that makes him a bad manager. So long farewell Jon

[Exiled_Rover]

The next time we win a ball in the air will be the first time.

Good lord. 

[JohnD]

That's enough, back home or sack him.

[USABlue]

I see no other outcome than Relegation. JDT looks lost right now.  It is not working.and he can't fix it.  Get rid.

[moerpho]

51 goals conceded. Worst in the league. I can’t watch this shitshow anymore. Praise be to he who invented beer.

Please please someone get hold of Neil Warnock, cos we are going down....

Simon Garner was a better goalie than Leo...

It reminds of the time when you had no keeper at Sunday League level, and the worst outfield player got stuck in. 🤣

[Roverthechimp]

Any defenders on the bench? Losing every ball in our own box

[matt83]

What we need is a defensive midfielder. Perhaps Ipswich have one we can loan.

[wilsdenrover]

Is the fear of who could come next now the only reason for sticking with JDT?

[joey_big_nose]

The total lack of emphasis on defending is the main issue. 3-0, getting absolutely battered by long straight balls and were still committing 7-8 players to an attack.

Its a bit juvenile to be honest. Sort of like we're scrappy doo.

And the other donkey just went through the back of Leonard - thought that was a red card these days?

[nbdrovers]

i'd take richie smallwood back in goal at this point 

[rovers11]

JDT has been let down in the transfer market but he's made us so defensively weak and too easy to score against. His philosophy of trying to outscore teams is completely misguided. Time to go now.

This season has been an embarrassment so far. 

[Mars Rover]

There isn't a chance in hell we're getting any manager worth their weight on the back of these budget cuts.

It'll be a return of Gary Bowyer or Mark Hughes, I fear.

[USABlue]

I am not watching anymore of that shit show.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

Problem if the manager goes, could these players adapt to playing a different way?

Ben Benson has to go too. 

Blow the budget and get a keeper in. 

This. The amount of people who haven't listed a keeper when saying what they want bringing in is baffling.
