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. 

The CBs haven't won a single contested header (and Hyam set up their attacker for the second goal with his header). Not sure what the HC is meant to do there - teams are just going to lump it (and have).

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

I'm dry for 5 years now but I'm sorely tempted but that would be letting the Indian shitbags win.

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

Well they don’t seem to be able to play this way at the moment…

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

They can’t play this way.

I’m absolutely sick to death of how shit we are and how little it takes to absolutely smash us.
We are a truly pathetic side.

Anyone calling for the manager out be careful because soon the pro Tomasson crew will appear and absolve him of all blame. Normally happens after full time.

Injuries, owners, the weather, conspiracy, referees, whatever the case we are lucky to have him apparently. He is fat too naive even getting dealt a poor hand you really want more and a smarter approach. Shit owners and a limited/naive manager aren't mutually exclusive. You can have both.

He had kaminski sold and given Leo. Every game he’s let a goal in at least , 2 today. How can he be blamed for that. He didn’t sell kaminski and didn’t sign Leo . Have you seen the depleted shit he’s been left with. No one and I mean no one could get a this team above mid table. The blame is everywhere but JDT. He’s in the media everyday saying what we’re saying everyday . He has said what will happen without bringing bodies in , he’s begged for experience. Seriously what more can he do. Take Leonard off and put pat gamble in the defence . He’s got literally nothing to work with

He will have a successful career no doubt but His methods aren't working for us. Seems too stubborn to change his ideas. How long should he get

[ABBEY]

If anyone defends this team block me ...sick of it now .

Jail the scum in India,  admin now..

 

[OldEwoodBlue]

2 more goals for Leo.

Worst keeper to ever wear the shirt.

Pointless making subs at HT. This game has long gone.

The fact it was obvious we were in a scrap in January and we needed to change our style and keep our experienced players with some fight in them.

What does JDT do, loans out Travis as he is not in his plans. He should have been on his knees telling Travis he was changing the system to play 433 with 2 holding mids and Wharton as the 3rd.

reading fans showing how to protest about **** owners,mass pitch invasion😁

[J*B]

I can’t believe you lot think changing manager is the solution here. The problems are so much bigger than that. 

There is ZERO point in having people like JDT, Sigurdsson, Moran, Wharton if the restrictions from the owners are as they are at the moment.

Are there enough fans left at Ewood to do a mass invasion?

They can't adapt to the current one.

Warnock in for the rest of the season.

He would laugh in our faces after Cheston gave him the job only for Suhail to pull the plug & give it to Coyle.

If imagine whoever was involved in recruitment of this keeper must have massive reputational damage. Horrendous.

You would think our goalkeeping 'expert' coach Ben Benson would have signed-off on this!

I’m losing interest which is a horrendous thing to say but the players really don’t seem to give a shit so that seems to be transpiring! 

Think it's been clear for a few matches now - JDT has most likely lost the dressing room.

Jdt needs to go in the summer 

JDT needs to go now before his reputation is in absolute tatters.

Haven't a feckin clue just what Remy, Lowe, Benson and Johnson do.  Performances and results suggest, to me, they are all a bunch of tossers who need sacking.

He was suss for the third as well but think people just gave up slating him.

[Exiled_Rover]

Hyam missed an easy tackle on half way (when we had flooded forward) and they nearly get in to score again.

JRC on for Hyam at half time and switch Carter back to CB. He's been utterly disgraceful and at fault for all 3 goals today.

Every club would sack their manager right now and try sort something to stay up....not us though eh....🤦‍♂️

Focus more on defending and defensive shape, be more about not conceding early than throwing players forward. Like any manager, including Mowbray in the depths of a death spiral, would do.

We're an soft bunch. Easy to beat.
