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.

Nah, it’s just barrel scraping from Sufail.

ACD is a liability.

No he’s off after a decent performance. ACD on and first thing he does is take the ball to the opposition box then pass it to the oppo.

Speaking of thin, you should see the bench...

So now we're down to just one defender that got us into the top 6. At least Forshaw and Cantwell aren't starting. Looks like we've gone 4-2-4! Gueye, Ohashi, Dennis and Dolan.

Bizarre that you don't think the club sabotaging another season, leading to the shock decision of the head coach to leave won't affect the mentality of the team. It certainly affected Eustace's mentality.

This is the problem with making it simple. In my previous post I said since Travis got injured.

Simply, it's way beyond the managers fault. We were shit under Eustace, we're just a different shade of shit under Ismael.

Well it's my opinion, but aren't you also assuming the mentality was fine? Or is that a fact? It clearly wasn't if the guy managing them decided to leave a team in the play off places. I could see with my own eyes that things went quickly downhill when Travis got injured and there was no sign of help from above. Results have been shite since the away match at Millwall, 21st December. Even when we won it wasn't convincing, besides Luton. Manager was shite last year at this time according to many around this time.

I'm referencing them because there was no way we were going to maintain our league position with them. Eustace knew that, and it was obvious to most people on here besides the likes of Chaddy. They clearly haven't been brought in as squad players as we're relying on them too much. If they were signed as squad players then that's even more disgraceful as we needed players who could make an impact on the team. It's all interconnected. The mentality of the players will be shot to pieces when they bust a gut to get into the position they were, then saw the likes of Forshaw and Woodrow bolstering the ranks, along with a bloke who hadn't played in ages. Then Eustace leaves because he has no fucking chance, and there's no way that turmoil is helping anyone. We didn't slump in January, the rot set in a few weeks before when our squad depth was found wanting. Ismael may very well be the wrong man, but the only right man would have been to keep Eustace and hope for the best. And he wasn't taking us up either after the annual Swaggfail January sabotage.

It ended in 2010.

Sure, if the past 15 years, especially the last 3 haven't taught us anything. Sanderson, Dennis and Forshaw didn't get us into the play off places. We'd have been bottom of the table if we'd played them since the beginning of the season. The manager may be part of it, but whoever they appointed we were set up to fail. All thanks to "we don't need to spend anything" Sufail.

If he plays Forshaw and Cantwell again, I'm joining the haters.

Forgot to mention, Cantwell isn't a player for this league. I'm not sure what team he would suit really. He just seems to saunter around and gets involved when he likes and gets pushed off the ball easily. And Dennis, what a pointless waste of a squad place. May as well kept Sigurdsson.

Since late December I've seen equally poor performances against. Swansea QPR Coventry Oxford Hull Millwall Bristol We were diabolical. Same sluggish, disinterested performances and having to rely on the likes of Forshaw, ACD and Pears.

He's not the manager I'd have picked but we clearly dropped in quality in December due to injuries. We weren't able to put out the same team that got us into the play off positions. There was an ideal opportunity to try and rectify this in January but Maggott and Spunkhail took so long to bring in a bunch of relative unknowns. We've now lost Danny Batth and Carter so far has been a big downgrade. Hyam seems to lose his head without a reliable CB beside him. Travis hasn't been the same since he came back and Tronstad and Ohashi are still getting back up to speed. Changing the manager at this stage hasn't helped. But let's not ignore the fact that Eustace wasn't doing much better with this Waggott/Suhail created shitstorm. And he'd have struggled without that pairing of Batth and Hyam.

He's nothing more than a placeholder. JDT and Eustace were slated by fans for poor performances. Been shit since mid-December. Club could have strengthened, they decided not to. For the third time in as many years. Only one constant. Swagg and Scumhail the architects of our demise at Venkys request.

Just a shame that nobody associated with the club gives a toss.

Carter getting in the way. What a prick.

I can't remember our last good performance against any clubs.

Amazed that anyone thinks this is anything but the CEO and COO (Chief Operations Officer - but could easily be Cunt Overseeing Oppression) deliberately sabotaging another season.

We looked better in the last 10 minutes but I think that will be all efforts spent for the night.

We always play worse with Cantwell. It's like playing with 10. And with Forshaw on the pitch as well we may as well give up.
