Coming out and saying you offered to leave for free in the summer because the goalposts have been moved implies that you were probably promised it would be rectified shortly. He’s had the rug pulled from under him, I suspect the only thing keeping him here is some sense of seeing the job through. He’s gonna be off in the summer. Cant believe fans don’t see the owners for what they are, but there’ll be another scapegoat along soon enough, for them.

This is the quandary that those on £X00000s/year at the club are paid the big bucks to answer, because it is a quandary: do you stick in the hope that recovery is possible or do you twist and accept you’re less likely to recover to potential, but also less likely to go down? I just can’t get past the lack of investment. It’s the common denominator, all the way through. “£5m of leased players” was the public declaration at the starting gun. They’re just so inept. Anyway, for everyone in an equally bad/downbeat mood; remember that the club was here before us and will be here long after us, some way some how.

QPR beat us today. In scoreline and in the actual play itself. Tough to completely see what the play is like with RoversTV angles, but there’s no incisiveness in the build up. QPR are the kind of side that most teams in this division should be capable of putting 4 or 5 past. That they had a better chance of doing that to us is the biggest worry. Next 24 hours should be interesting, but I think it’s hard to argue that we’re not in danger of going down. Not gonna be popular, but for those saying JDT out, I have two questions: who should we get to come in to improve and - more importantly than that - how would they do it? So few resources, I think even Warnock would struggle to put something together.

He’s definitely game for it and a hard worker but just looks like he needs a lot of polishing up.

Ayari looking bright and direct. Has to start ahead of Moran in the middle.

Couldn’t write this

If you can throw a pie at Suhail for me, I will reimburse you.

Worth a boo now @bluebruce?

Feel for Pears there, has done really well today and doesn’t deserve an o.g. for his trouble.

Entitled to your opinions, but they’ve paid their money and they’re entitled to theirs, which includes a review of some really poor football mixed with a couple of players doing well. I suppose in their eyes, we’re both “shit supporters” for not being there.

I think it’s fair based on the football on show, which has been - in the main - poor. Putting the off-the-pitch events to one side for 90 minutes: has it been an enjoyable watch for you?

Booed off. Fair, honestly. Scott Wharton looking a lot like he used to, which is encouraging. Unfortunately, very few are matching his desire or attainment.

Two teams in a form of crisis, basically. Not fluid, total lack of execution, lots of nerves.

Would be surprised if Fleck’s got more than 15 mins in his legs

Moran is just not worth having on the pitch, slows everything down, can’t execute the basics. What’s happened? He looked a good player early on.

Tronstad extremely tidy, he’s got the ability to be in the centre of midfield for us for a long time.

Just nowhere near as intelligent of a player, which is fair enough.

Big chance missed for Chrisene, on his weaker foot.

Seems suspiciously chipper…

It’s bleak, but you can only lead a horse to water. I suppose they’ll be happy to ride the coattails of any hypothetical fan action that leads to improved ownership and forget all about their support of the Venky’s. Was he all misty-eyed about Saint Tony, as well?

“Season 13?! Really?! You think people are going to buy this? You think people are going to get invested in missing out on a transfer that could turn into a club record fee, if they get promoted, because the Club Secretary is incompetent? You think they’ll suspend disbelief as this team misses out on a playoff spot to an injury-time handball goal by the opposition’s goalkeeper?!” If we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

This. A lot of naivety on the board around exactly what the majority of footballers do with their money. Especially at the level he played at. “The rich don’t work for money,” as they say.

Was a cracking day out!
