Because if you were there you'd know it wasn't Powells fault for us losing 2-0. The reaction to this defeat is fucking embarrassing. So is your language A laughable statement coming from you. You're one of the forum clowns.

Not at all. It was an embarrassing result and fans have every right to vent their frustration on here. I've not looked properly, but isn't that Fulhams first away win like 12 games?? Didn't Rotherham only have 1 away win all season before they played us? 1 home win in the last 2 months is simply not good enough! Powells a nice bloke but let's be honest he's not a good manager and I'm fast losing patience for the bloke. 1. Did you go to the game? 2. Have you seen the stats from the game? We haven't battered a team like that since League 1. Quite how anybody has the ignorance to call for Powell to be sacked after that defeat is beyond me. Powell cannot be held responsible for that defeat, no way. You can't have it both ways. You are happy with the dull dour negative football and that's not Powell fault, not making any changes and not having a bench that allows him to make any changes is not Powell fault. It's not deans fault. Dean was quite specific when he brought Powell in, he was here because he got the best out of players. I haven't seen evidence of this. On any measures you care to use this season has gone backwards. The main measure is number of fans turning up and number of season tickets sold. Dean seems to believe from his interview in the week the manager is the most important person at the club. Unfortunately it seems Dean likes people that agree with him and are happy to have half the squad moved on in January.

How can the Powell Apologists defend him after today? We dominated the game? Did we? Apart from 2 pens did we have any clear chances? Any 1 on 1's? NO just awful hoofball with a couple of hopeful longshots. Get Mark Lillis in till the end of the season and Mark Warburton on a pre-contract. We will not progress with Powell in charge. Smithies made 1 save today. Fulhams keeper made 14 saves out of the 31 shots we had. We had many chances that we didn't take.

I wouldn't trust this chump managing the Dog and Duck.
- What does he say to his players before kick-off? I'm guessing not much as they look chuffing clueless on the pitch. They must be bored out of their nut as they switch off as soon as they step onto the pitch. - Tactics? What are these you might ask? Good question because Powell doesn't chuffing use them. He solely relies on other teams to beat our relegation rivals. - I make that 3 teams we have played against for 20+ minutes who we have had a numerical advantage against (Leeds, Rotherham and Fulham). Zero goals scored. Tells you everything you need to know about Powell's boring predictable approach play. - Defensive record. An ex-international defender who has one of the worst defensive records in English football. How is that possible from such a negative style?

It's the same playing against 11 men. It just gets highlighted against 10 men. We have minimal penetration through the middle. We don't have one good crosser or attacker of the ball at the club yet Powell insists on chalk on boots. Bizarre.

Fair enough if we were in good form then you could look at today's game and say we were unlucky, but we're not and I'm not just talking about today's game, I'm referring to the last few months. We've been poor on the whole.

What i saw today was frustrating as hell, but we were far from shite. I was in the North Stand so saw plenty of endeavour in the second half.
The keeper played a blinder, as madcap and manic as he was at times. Regardless, i'm apoplectic that we squandered two penalties.
I felt worse on the walk back to the car than after a five nil drubbing.

I wouldn't really blame Powell for today as it was a bit of a 'freak' game in all honestly, but I am worried about Powell's motivational skills. We really do appear to be 'on the beach' yet again at this stage of the season, which certainly won't be helping season ticket sales. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Powell is the man for Town, no better than Robins and certainly no better than Grayson, we appear worse now than when Grayson got the boot IMO. Trouble is I don't think Hoyle would dare employ a Hasslebaink or a Warburton as they're don't appear to be 'yes men'. We'll slug out the rest of the season then lose our first 3 next season and be back to square one. I think Hoyle has a decision to make.

Rotherham was the last straw for me. Just wasting time now or during the summer. Championship standard players with poor technique, lack of ideas, technique, urgency when behind. I fail to see what they do in training as stagnation (at best) in the last 3 years.

I and so many others have given Powell the chance to prove what he can do . I certainly don't blame Powell for bringing in about the worst captain and defenders that i have witnessed at this level in my 52 years , but he has" failed badly " to bring in a replacement with proper leadership skills. I find it even more amazing that both Hoyle and Powell have not used the run in to try and bring in defensive loan players that could be gelled together ready for next season, and just one reason why the season seems to be going from bad to worse. I would like to see Powell replaced with a manager who has proven that he has the ability to do the job at this level , and Brentfords loss could be towns gain. Town might just survive another season , and always nice to know that there is similar shite below us that allows town to stay at this level.

Tin pot thread, a sad reminder that town have a hard core of fans who are nothing short of delusional [sadly most of them seem to congregate on this forum] and seemingly enjoy coming on here after we lose as if to prove a point. Christ we pissed all over them today, missed two pens, on any other day we would have hammered em. I would have preffered an earlier substitution and wouldn't have taken Hogg off but that said - on another day we would have won.

there are no excuses for today..even after gifting them a goal whilst we were still apparently waiting for the game to kick off(again) the decisions went for us and Fulham did their best to help us out, even the keeper who had a good day palmed a few and patted a few out for us to tap in, if we had actually been there..
the second goal as crap as it was, was immaterial, we were not going to score.
its never 'one of them days'... you are either good enough to score or you are not, you either concede 2 shitty ones or you don't.. luck has fuck all to do with it..
as I said after the Bournemouth game, we were not lucky they were just not good enough at vital times on the day to win it..

Unfortunately it seems Dean likes people that agree with him and are happy to have half the squad moved on in January.[/quote]
The evidence is (Grayson, Robins, now Powell) that Dean likes quietly spoken, rational, fairly articulate types.
No-one that's going to explode or make life difficult. For him - but I guess that might apply to the players too.
I think Town fans tend to prefer blunt passionate characters (Warnock, Buxton)
Clark was a little bit of an exception, but he was the first one

After the Robins debacle, robins accepted he should have gone the end of the previous season. This is turning into a worse finish to the season, he has to go. Dean won't do it unless he can find another yes man. The defence has not tightened up all season. He has never been able to affect results with substitutions. We never look up for the big games that come along, unfortunately these are also the games where most fans turn up. While this was one sided to day there have been many many games this season where we could and should have picked up points but we couldn't score, so not scoring is not so rare and it has cost us.

We're not going to get anywhere if we keep chopping and changing managers every 5 minutes. Powell hasn't even had the chance to shape his own squad yet. Give the man a chance. Personally I think we have been much much better to watch this season. People have short memories. The back end of last season was so dull, boring and tiresome. We never used to have any control of midfield in games and teams would run through us at will. That is no longer the case. Sure we are on a poor run of results but at least we're actually creating chances. We really are not a million miles away. Defensively we are arse and that has been our major downfall. If Powell is allowed to add 3 quality players to the group (and dean should be allowing this given the amount of players we have let go!) we will do much better next time around. The season was a write off as soon as we didn't sack robins. Powell has come in and we should end up safe - I'd have taken that after the start we had. Next season is when he will be judged.

Thats the tactical genius that is Chris Powell. Lull them into a false sense of security by not offering any threat out wide. Brilliant.

I hate to be negative....but what the chuff is Powell playing at!?!
1. Where's the tempo at the start? Dreadful...the same as it has been on several home Saturdays recently and not good enough. 2. Our defending borders on pathetic. Slow, naive and soft as shite....... How many set piece concessions.....individual cock ups etc. 3. The squad is poorly balanced and the team has all the backbone of a jelly. How the hell does Carroll come in from the cold against a top side but given a chance to gain confidence against a poor Fulham team he's left out? Likewise why move an impressive scanz to accommodate lolley. And the coup de grace....Hogg off for the clearly fed up majewski and Edgar stays on despite being worse than dreadful! 4. The football is so dull and over engineered. Pass pass pass.......even against 10 men defending deep we try "Hollywood" balls and nobody drives forward. Ffs butterfield is fast turning into Chris Brandon!!!! 5. Why does he stand there looking as bored as the rest of us?! It's not all about shouting and bawling but at one point I thought he'd got rigamortis!
Sort it quick Chris.....the clock is ticking loudly.
