Kean, Agnew, Shaw, Senior, Chesterton, Singh - did any of them leaving really change the trajectory of the club? And if the family read Glenn’s WhatsApp messages, why does it matter which empty suit is in charge here?

Piss poor marking

Noticeable that the new gaffer has put a stop to Dolan’s drag backs, back heels and going round in circles - as did JDT - and he’s a much better player for it; good movement prior to create space for the pass and a good finish. And no way we get that goal with Pears - the quick releasing of the ball by Toth found a player who’d made a run to get into space - he’d have wasted his breath with Pears. I said two moths ago I thought we’d only get in the playoffs if the manager had the balls to drop Pears and Cantwell, which he didn’t till it was too late…

Do you mean 97.65% of the many thousands of registered users of this site or 97.65% of those who have voted, which is a tiny percentage of those many thousands?

Big differences for me are Toth’s much quicker distribution, and to someone who is expecting it, plus Trav and Sonny getting more advanced in possession.

And his distribution is much quicker

Who was the shifty looking bloke next to Gestede?

Anyone else think Pears was to blame for the second? A pointless performative dive for a shot heading for the corner flag.

Going back to my pre-retirement life, if I’d encountered those three in the boardroom, the only one I’d have listened to was Sunhail. I didn’t like everything he said, but at least he said it clearly and briefly. The other two however, are obviously out of their depth. The Geordie Sir Les Patterson blathers on endlessly, saying nothing and with zero charisma. Jeremy the trainee next to him was even worse, he makes Greg the Egg sound like Warren Buffet.

Is one point from the firs five games our worst ever managerial start?

It was a good save, he got an un-Pearsy like strong hand to the shot so it went up and away to a defender.

Two crosses into our box all afternoon - courtesy of two giveaways by us - both given free headers by the weak as piss Hyam, both easily beating the truly abysmal Pearsy. 5 goals in a week that would all have been saved by any of the keepers we faced.

Yes. A header from beyond the penalty spot that lost pace bouncing well in front of the goal. xGOT is correct, it should be virtually impossible to beat a keeper from there.

Even though the goal yesterday was not down to him, I thought he was shit in the moment. It’s going to be either a shot or a ball slipped in to the six yard box. Sanderson did a good job sending him wide making the shot unlikely. Pearsy though didn’t see that, was protecting a shot unlikely to come so made no attempt to cut out the ball. Even worse, he went onto the floor even though he was nowhere near the ball, precluding the albeit slim chance of being hit by the shot had he thrown himself across to the back post. Useless.

And what, 20-25 goals thrown in? Ishmael showing a lack of balls.
