v Cardiff City (a) - 20/02/2024, 19:45

[superniko]

Szmodics, Hyam, Brittain, Thomas, Morton, Mola, Hirst, Wahlstedt, O’Riordan, Fleck, Sigurdsson, Tronstad, Ennis, McFadzean, Telalovic, Hill, Ayari, Chrisene, Koumiteo, Moran

20 players signed under Broughton

1 true success (Szmodics)
1 likely to be a success (Tronstad)
3 solid and capable on occasion at this level (Hyam, Hill and Morton)
1 potential but not seeing it (Sigurdsson)
1 too early to judge (O’Riordan)
1 will never play for us (Koumiteo)
1 37 year old (McFadzean) 
3 it didn’t work out (Moran, Thomas and Hirst)
6 absolute shockers (Mola, Wahlstedt, Ayari, Chrisene, Telalovic, Ennis)
1 soft arse (Brittain)
1 crock (Fleck)

I feel like I’m being generous to be honest.

In the mean time we’ve lost Kaminski, Nyambe, Lenihan, Rothwell, Diaz, Dack, Wharton and others. 
 

In terms of the ‘develop and become self-sufficient’ or whatever the nonsense he’s spouted, we’ve made a total of £0 revenue from players he’s signed. He’s done well rinsing the academy and signings from previous regimes though and spent upwards of £7m with likely loan fees too

Rovers TV have said that Markanday and Buckley went through a ‘vigorous’ warm up at HT.

After that first half they probably had a light jog.

[AJW]

And to think some people berated tippy tappy football 

[yankfan]

Only 1 team looking like scoring

Did rothwell leave under Broughton, genuine question

I think he's alright. Athletic and big enough to play as a defensive WB.

Wharton just then 🤦🏻‍♂️.  Its comedy football.  

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

JDT was working an absolute fucking miracle

And if that fat fucking slimy cunt of a CEO thinks he's taken the heat of himself with Eustace he's got another thing coming

I find this less frustrating being honest. All well and good when you have the players but when you don't there is nothing worse than watching a bunch of players with limited ability struggle with every single pass and look so uncomfortable trying to knock it about. I'll take a scrippy scrappy over tippy tappy.

Eusless Master Plan

Forget attack. 15 x 0-0 draws means we stay up. Mission Accomplished.

Waggott gets a nice bonus for successfully meeting all of this season's targets.

[damo100]

What is it with these Welsh commentators?

They're as bad as us..

Deluded...

I think it was the summer he came in. Might have been before Broughton arrived to be fair (does this class as me doing him a disservice?)

[yankfan]

How does the AR miss offside when the players are literally touching each other? 

[chaddyrovers]

Moran coming on for Ayari

[roverblue]

This is one of the worst games of football I have ever seen .

Two sides that just went the season to end. Zero quality. Even the basics seem a step too far like controlling a ball or passing it 5 yards.

Chrisene is seriously poor, bring an u23 lad in for the remainder of the season and send him back to Villa tomorrow. 

From what I've seen of him I think he's one of the worst loan signings we've ever brought in. I've seen no fundamental attributes of a footballer from him, not a one. The lad is appalling.

They still look like that now.

It ain’t scrippy scrappy (whatever that is), it’s just utter shite

Aye but far too clumsy for it.

I didn't slate him to high heavens, I was fair, I just wasn't a fan. What did I say that was so bad? He is naive? Let me be clear, Waggot, Suhail and Venkys are the fucking problem.

My point is people saying how bad this is like it's Eustace's influence and we've fallen off a cliff since JDT left. Let's not have short memories. I want to give Eustace a fair crack, I think that's fair.

From memory (and I’m not a stenographer) you were of the opinion that the manager would take us nowhere but down, in essence and the frequency increased with each game at the end. Again, that is only my memory of it, in a general sense. I would definitely agree that you weren’t a fan and add that you made that clear, strongly and often.

I could almost understand your logic on Eustace, it’s just that we currently look like we don’t really know what we’re doing at all, as though none of them can really play football, basically. We’ve somehow come out second half looking even worse than the first. Eustace surely had some influence at half time, unless we’ve got a trove of JDTs half time team talks that were showing the players on a big screen?

We look like shit and we’ve looked like that basically the entire time of the last three matches, save for 30 mins against Preston.

I remember speaking to a Kilmarnock fan on the train to the Cambridge FA Cup game.

He told me that Chrisene was a ‘gem’…lying bastard!

It says something if Moran is an upgrade.

Personally I think Ayari has shown good feet. He just seems to lack the brainpower needed for his role.

[GaryC]

Gilsenan cant do any worse than any of the two Brighton loanees, one bad one subbed for another, heaven help us
