Everyone takes responsibility, but no-one is to blame.

For the love of god, can we all just move on please!

Gregg's amazing, not many DoF's could have brought in a loan player from Huddersfield. And so what if that's the first time the club have failed to do a deal because someone didn't send the right forms off. It's just coincidence it happened on Gregg's watch, it could have happened anytime in the last 148 years. 

Nothing to see here. 

When did Greggs wife join the forum 

When did Greggs wife join the forum?

It would be great for O’Brien to come out and tell the press what actually happened or didn’t happen, hope the lad can move abroad for the rest of the season

This is a major mistake and is unforgivable, the statement from the club is similar to what this government do to deflect everything from themselves.
 

I really feel for the two players sat in limbo here, best thing us fans can do is give the current players our full support but show the board and owners how we feel through sarcastic chants at games. Shambles

Bristol goal- Morton dangling a leg in for that goal can not happen, pathetic attempt to win the ball.

Vale could have prevented it by commuting a foul further up the pitch.

Kaminski has to do better, that’s 2 bad mistakes in the last 2 games.

On a positive note it’s a point and a good team goal finished by Dack. 

I don’t like the look of this fixture at all, we need to start with real energy especially from the front so I’d play both Markanday and Dolan. This won’t happen and they will both come on with 20 mins to go when we are losing 2-0 and the game is already finished.

Please prove me wrong Rovers

That today is tough to take and watch, my concerns are JDT has no Plan B, he constantly sticks with the same style and even when putting on 2 quick smaller wider players. Shocking is an understatement. There is no fight in that team and it’s shown with all of the heavy defeats. Seeing JDT laughing on the bench when it was 2-0 is a massive kick in the balls to the fans.

Buzzing with that win, not the greatest performance but it’s a win. Garrett, Dack and Hyam were the standouts for me.

How poor were the officials again! Also glad we never signed Kipre, he is a liability 

I hope I am wrong but I see this being a very frustrating game for us 

I watched this one from home tonight, my 5 yr old in the 1st half said “this ref is actually doing ok tonight Dad”

2nd half after the sending off he said “I take back what I said before Dad this guy is like the rest of them, he doesn’t know what he is doing” He is 5!

As I’ve mentioned I watched it on TV but were there boos when Dack was taken off? 
 

Frustrating night again! 

JDT needs to stop banging on about these young players, it’s an excuse! Sign a couple of experienced players to improve the starting lineup and have a push at the playoffs, we are sat in 3rd place and have a great opportunity this season given the standard of this league. His interview is not inspiring for the players or fans

On Hirst he did well at Pompey and their fans liked him, personally I’m not sure he is cut out for this standard but it’s harsh because he is feeding from scraps and very little scraps at that. To play as a CF and not have a single chance or half chance in both the Forest and Sunderland game is worrying but that’s not down to the player it’s the system/set up

To lose the threat going forward we'd have to have had one to begin with.

We offered very little going foward all game, however Dack and Gallagher clearly offered way more than Travis and Hirst did. The changes just invited pressure on even more

Substitutions lost us that game, we lost all threat going forward and clearly didn’t shut up shop. Why is JDT not bringing Markanday on after how he played against Forest! Piss poor again!

Dolan    Gallagher        BBD

               Dack or Hedges

          Morton Wharton

Pickering   Warton Hyam  carter

               Kaminski

Wilder is in the box with Sky go and have a serious word with him Waggot. All over the pitch that was pathetic, look at the bench and JDT is just sat there arms folded. Motivate your players FFS

JDT got it all wrong today, he used to be a striker, so how can we go to Burnley (not the only away games like this I know) and have just 1 real shot at goal is beyond me. You can lose a game 3-0 and still have a go, lose 3-0 like that today is so hard to take. 
Diaz and Gallagher were playing way too far apart, we should have played them closer and hit longer balls into them and worked off them. Not the JDT style but we would have got more success than that shower

The W L W L W L W L sequence will end on Saturday! It will will be W L W L W L W L L

A concerning point for me is JDT selection from the start, when you are needing to make 2 changes at half time and another 5 mins later then there is a problem with the system you have set up. Piss poor tonight and a mirror image performance to Cardiff last week. 

I remember a lot of people were laughing at Swansea for the way they play out at the back when we beat them, we are turning into that laughing stock. Watching that night was so painful and we could all see the issues but we continued to make the same mistakes.

Fine play out from the back when you have the players that are comfortable and confident to do so. Where has our energy and pressing gone? Travis looks knackered.

JDT needs to learn quickly and have a plan B and C 

Letting a young loan player take that pen in the last minute ahead of more experienced players is mind blowing. Dack, Gallagher, Brittain, Hedges and Pickering all should be stepping up before Hurst. 
The lack of chances we are creating is a huge concern and Ayala is not the right player to be playing this keep ball and playing out from the back, get the basics right and then play football in the midfield and forward areas

Ultimately it doesn’t matter who we have as DoF, manager and assistant if they’re given no funds to spend. The squad has a decent nucleus but with a shortened break this year I can see injuries being massive throughout the division next season and we can’t be found wanting. We have no RB with championship experience, 2 CB’s with it (one of whom could leave in Ayala), a left back who thinks he’s better in CM where he’s shite, and 2 actual CM’s, one of which played up front most of the year. 

On paper a 4231 of:

Kaminski

Brown Ayala Wharton Pickering

Travis Buckley

Markanday Dack Dolan

Gallagher

Doesnt look too bad, however there’s a distinct lack of goals and little to nothing to follow them from the bench. If we go into the season with the squad as it is now, we’re in for a relegation scrap.

We need some signings big time and that work needs to start even without a coach in place imo and let the new guy bring in the ‘bits around the edges’ after we’ve addressed the gaping holes. We should’ve been all over free agents like Aden Flint (gone to stoke), Conor Hourihane, Gary Cahill, Romaine Sawyers, Kristian Pedersen, Jed Wallace etc. 

If it is to be JDT, there’s a real chance he won’t be in charge for another 2/3 weeks with the delays in work permits. Kompany is still waiting for his at Burnley and that’s been the best part of 3 weeks and they find themselves in a similar boat, think i saw they released 14 players yesterday including Mee and Tarkowski? (What a shame 🤣)

Doesn’t look a bad side that, just missing our top scorer from the starting 11 😉
