So why not do the honourable thing and resign if you're Waggot? He's clearly having zero positive effect on the club, just draining £300k a year out of the coffers.

You'd think our CF being 6'5" with a leap on him would give our wingers a large margin of error. Alas they rarely cross it to test that theory.

We've allowed £40m of transfer fees to disappear. Where do you think an extra £100k in gate receipts would go?

The players are a reflection of their manager. Time wasting, feigning injury, cynical kicks every time a Rovers player got the advantage on them. Horrible, horrible team.

That was literally the most attacking lineup we could put out there (save changing formation entirely). He did the same against Millwall - tried to win it rather than simply running Dolan / Hedges out there as defensive wingers and trying to nick it. We weren't scared of losing, we just simply don't have the horses.

It was, but I'd love our wingers to just do that all game - whip crosses into the danger area. Eventually a CF / CAM / opposite winger is going to gamble and get on the end of one. That cross was by far the best thing ACD did all game.

So loans and free agents again. Glad to see that £40m in transfer profits isn't going to waste.

He's as slow as Dolan (and somehow smaller) which is a massive problem for him with our style of play.

We won't have. Many angry men I've never seen before around me in the Jack Walker. I guarantee they won't be there for the game against Portsmouth.

Personally I don't think it's anything to do with not having quick CBs (they're not slow either) it's that teams just push up on us because they know we can't hurt them over the top. It's very difficult to dictate play like that without an Adam Wharton type player in midfield who can a) turn the man pressing him and carry the ball into attack and b) has an incredible range of passing.

They're obligated to buy him for £7m+ in the summer.

They brought a striker they bought for £11m off the bench. We brought a 21 year old Academy graduate with less than 30 Championship appearances off ours...

They haven't done for 24 months, why start now?

Yes, Leonard had a few flicks and lay offs in his own half. I don't think he touched the ball in their half.

There'd be three more empty seats in the Jack Walker next season if they did that.

It'd be gutting to lose a manager to the likes of WBA, but that's how low the Venky's have dragged us I'm afraid.

A man that thrived on crosses with Dolan and Hedges putting the ball into the box? I'd go with 15 just because he was so good that he'd create some on his own, but the service our CFs get is diabolical.

Serious question - how many would a prime Alan Shearer score in this team? 10. 15 maybe?

We've somehow managed to draw Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley in this run of fixtures - it's been horrendous.

I think most saw it coming. This team is based on organisation and effort. We can't perform twice a week with this paper-thin squad - we simply can't keep the work rate up. We have another month to suffer then hopefully we can get things back on track. The Playoffs will be long gone by then though, sadly.

You're blaming our CM for their CF scoring a header? Good lord you have it in for him.

I'd have taken Cantwell off at half time and brought on Weimann - he's far more likely to try to pick up those knock downs. You could see the Burnley CBs were desperate to get Gueye off the pitch - they were giving him loads of aggro when his number came up. Bad substitution by Eustace I felt. He's an awkward player, but he causes problems - it's just a shame nobody picks up the second ball and our wide players offer no service (I think ACD put in ONE good cross all game and that was the only ball into the box we saw until Gueye went off).

They'll be straight back down without almost an entire new starting XI you'd think.

He carried the ball 30 yards only to see Cantwell offer him no pass (then give up running after the ball he tried to play). He also held his run waiting for Cantwell to play him through and never got it. Was his goal offside?
