I got stick for this the other day but I don't think he ever fully had it. The manner of Eustace leaving and lack of support from above ruined morale. Much like the end of JDT's first season when the club wanted to sell any assets as soon as the season ended, and didn't make any secret of it to management team or players. And some of the players didn't make a secret of how disgusted they were when they were chasing a play off place. Well done SwaggFail.

Get him on camera addressing the fans concerns. Give someone enough rope, etc.

If that happens then he's resigning as Suhail doesn't sack people, he just lets their contracts run down or has a girly strop when other teams take them. As we saw with JDT he doesn't even let them resign without a large dose of petulance.

As I said before, his big mistake today was bringing on ACD when Dennis got injured. It was ACD losing the ball that led to their second goal, and he'd done it multiple times before that but others bailed him out. He'd also shown absolutely no desire to help out with defending our box, just allowing their players to jog by him with the ball without a challenge. I think that says everything about Ismael and the club itself. The bench was awful which wasn't his fault, but he obviously just sees things in black and white. ACD = winger. Forshaw = midfielder. He's not done his homework on who he's picking as ACD isn't ready for professional football and Forshaw has no legs. I'm not saying we would have won but we don't lose that today if ACD is left on the bench.

Course they don't. They don't want promotion because it would mean some work and investment has to go back in. Hence three years of sabotage.

It wouldn't surprise me if he gave it to himself in the knowledge that Venkys have absolutely no clue, or care, about the club.

I wouldn't say Cardiff wanted to win more than we did, they were really poor. We were clearly putting in the effort until Dennis got injured and we effectively went down to ten men. We're suffering from three members of the defence that got us into the top 6 out of action, a forward line that's struggled all season (and our top scorer is out), a weak bench, and a manager who clearly isn't able to grind out results. SwagFail and their paymasters shoulder the blame for most of the above.

Whether it's true or not that he convinced Venkys not to spend money in January, he screwed it up either way. And not for the first time.

Waggott should have been out of the club years ago. He still clings on after failure after failure on and off the pitch.

Can we rename this thread SUFAIL OUT! This c*nt needs ousting from the club asap.

It's the wrong appointment. We needed someone who could grind out games with this squad/injury list. But not signing that striker we needed in January, again, and also bringing in players no one else wanted is hurting us. Eustace left because he knew his stock would fall due to incompetence and lack of support above.

Hyam's challenge for their second goal was laughable.

Our defence at the moment is shakey but the real problem is players lazily giving the ball away putting us under unneccessary pressure. Today it was ACD, the other day it was Cantwell. Why the hell he brought on ACD for Dennis I'll never know. I know Dennis was injured and the bench was as weak as piss, but he was probably the worst pick of the bunch.

Travis’s body language was terrible in the last 5-10 minutes. It’s understandable that he’s disappointed but he should be professional, lead by example and play till the final whistle. Not just booting the ball anywhere in frustration.

He’s a different player without Batth. When are Batth and Beck coming back?

The only positive is that we didn’t play as badly as we did against Derby and Stoke. I never want to see ACD in a Rovers shirt again. We looked the better team and Cardiff looked knackered till he came on. Just send him back now.

If he wasn’t sacked for two consecutive January transfer window shambles he won’t be sacked for 2-1 loss. Probably get a pat on the back and another bonus.

I’ve never seen that happen before. He just gave in to the Cardiff players.

Ref gives a penalty to us then recinds it.

Fuck me. I sound like a stuck record but ACD is awful.

His biggest mistake was bringing on ACD. I haven’t seen a single player negatively affect a performance in quite some time.

Amazed it wasn’t 3-1 then.

I’d take him off. His inclusion has changed the game.

To anyone not watching. Against run of play. ACD continuously giving ball away and providing zero help defensively off the ball. Since Dennis went off injured we’ve been playing with 10.

1-2 Cardiff. Began their move with ACD giving it away. What a fucking liability that lad is but Hyam was weak.
