You mean the one-trick Koroma and stealing-a-living Danny Ward who have both done bugger all all season The last time Ward was brought off the bench away, he scored two goals and got us 3 points. Not sure if you’re disagreeing or just having a pop at the players, but you’re mad if you think it was the right call not to bring them on. I agree they couldn't do any worse but if we are asking for those two to come on, then we really are in a mess...

With or without 10 men, you only have to look at the starting lineup to realise there’s no goal threat in this team (other than from Sorba’s set pieces). Have to be starting at least one of Ward/Koroma as well as Burgzorg for that reason alone, at least they offer something different. Fair to say the January signings have been an absolute disaster (although Balker did well today), the main requirement in Jan was for a striker and we’ve completely messed up with these signings it looks like (hopefully Healey can show something when he’s fit again). Matos I’d play too, not that that’s going to help us in front of goal mind you.

Not convinced this guy has the ideas to keep us up. Since he apparently won't want to manage in League One, we'd be better off shaking hands now and giving it back to Worthy. Where have you heard that ?

If you don't think today's tactics were bad then there's something missing.
Im not even sure Moore could have managed a draw out of Rotherham. Everyone acting like they are decent but if we had beat them they were one more loss from relegation in march!

Let us have a bit of positivity. We gained a point on most relegation rivals. End of positivity.

When I die, I want Town players to lower my coffin into the dirt. Just so they can let me down one last time. They'd miss the fucking hole pal

Matos I’d play too, not that that’s going to help us in front of goal mind you. Matos might help us score goals, by winning the ball higher up the pitch, therefore closer to their goal to try and set up chances quicker . When the oppo are out of position . I would play rudoni,kasmu and matos as my starting three. bring on hogg / wiles whatever later on don't start with them lets work our way into a game/ lead then go from there .

I agree they couldn't do any worse but if we are asking for those two to come on, then we really are in a mess... Sometimes you need fresh legs and something different. Baffled as to why they weren’t brought on today. Even Pat Jones for pace on the counter. 3 or 4 players on the bench today that could’ve made a difference to the attack and we ended up bringing on just Wiles and Edwards. Despite not being able to break them down all day. Moore-ish from Andre.

I can live with starting 5 at the back today because 2 of those 5 were there to be very attacking (Spencer and Headley)
and AB will know by now that we're more likely to score from a set piece with Helik/Pearson than we are starting with Wiles/diarra/rudoni/ward
However to not make a change and leave Matos out I find baffling...
We didn't lay a glove on them. Woeful performance. If we don't beat these, who do we beat?!

Jolly Gosh, i am lost for words and if we can't beat this lot forget about Millqall, Stoke, Coventry, Preston, Ipswich, Birmingham, Swansea and Bristol. Its Blackpool next season folks.

From the bits I saw when I wasn't asleep, I think the main problem overall is that we're a bit shit, and our managers are mainly a bit shit and every now and then it looks like maybe we might not be quite as shit as we thought we were and that maybe whatever new manager we've got is alright but then actually it turns out that we're definitely just a bit shit whatever

Anyone know what the deal with Radulovic is?
Also when Healey is due to be back?
We need someone who can put the ball in the net.

I don't think he's in a position to decide he's too big for League 1. Surely he took the job knowing it was relatively likely. Exactly, you'd have thought it was at least a reasonable possibility when he took the job, would be amazed if he walked.

Sorry but that was just about the most defensive team that we could possibly have put out.
Why?!?!
Sorry but anyone who defends that, please tell me who you now think we can beat?

I’ve not read the whole thread, what’s happened with Bojan then? Commenting on Chicken’s post saying he wasn’t poorly. Is he just not showing enough and been dropped? Another catastrophe of a signing if so.
Edit: comment in question:

Were you not at our last 2 home games? ] Played well first half vs WBA then capitulated and drew against Leeds. Today's overall performance given the context was much worse. Apologies, wasn’t at the WBA game but the ref at the Leeds game was shocking and the woman ref v Hull was atrocious. Both worse than today.

NEW STRIKER COMING OUT ON TWITTER TO SAY HES NOT INJURED WHEN LEFT OUT Not quite true, he disagreed with Chicken over the reason he hasn't trained a lot. It wasn't illness as Chicken initially thought, it was a back injury.

Neither of them are great but it would have a damn sight better option than having five defenders on the pitch against the division's whipping boys.

Giving a manager 5 games before turning on him. Some need to give heads a shake.
Poor result, yes. End of the world, no. Frustrating we’ll be without Sorba against Coventry, but might prove a blessing in disguise, forcing us to find another source of goals and creativity.
I’ll watch the penalty shout and yellows back before passing judgement on the officials, who it certainly sounds like have had a telling impact against us again. We just don’t get those breaks.
Plus side, Healey and Radulovic should be available in 2 weeks. And 2 weeks on the training ground is just what we need.

Winning coach does not need to explain his selections, tactics and subs. Andre does need to start explaining whats going on. It might help the undercurrent from becoming a flood?? I personally would like to know how Wiles still looks heavy and unfit. I would be asking hard questions even if I wasnt picking him or using him as a sub?? Its one of a number of questions Id like to ask and get a proper answer to. 2 forward players sitting on the bench today, neither comes on for our striker who ran out of steam sometime before the end? How is Matos not playing how Andre wants him to? Id suggest any player who covers as much ground and puts in the challenges he does would make him ideal in a fight against relegation, especially a game we are down to 10 men in?? Im sure Andre knows much better than we do how to do it, but if we dont get some sort of a lead from him, it sure as shit does not look like it.

They have games where they play well (Ward at Watford for example), but they are far too infrequent. It's one of Town's major problems: we have few players we can depend on for consistently good performances. We have too many that are either not good enough, or can't produce the good performances they are capable of on a consistent basis. Seriously ACW how many games in the last two YEARS has Ward played "well" - 2? 3 ? in over two years. That was the point I'm making. We have players that can play well occasionally, but not nearly often enough. The only one I expect to play well most weeks is Helik. Its not nearly enough, and is a major reason why we are struggling yet again.

When I die, I want Town players to lower my coffin into the dirt. Just so they can let me down one last time. Wouldn't bother, it would just be Hogg pointing at players in an attempt to look cohesive, before punting your coffin 3 yards into the next grave, whilst Wiles and Edwards arrive sweating like a pair of amateur rapists having take 15 minutes to deliver the flowers from 10 yards away. Meanwhile Burgzorg delivers a promising start to the Eulogy, only to refuse to let anyone else deliver it. Thomas arrives with a cross, but it ends up in a supermarket car park as Rudoni feebly misses an attempt to throw a handful of soil from 6 inches away, as Koroma and Matos watch from a distance, having not been invited. Meanwhile, Nicholls holds on to the coffin for 5 minutes before drop kicking it into the adjoining park, where Radulovic chases it gamely before brushing the back of Healey, leaving them both prostrate and twitching, as Ward regales everyone with his epic anecdotes about his 2 goals against Watford. Helik watches and silently weeps.

Almost feel like the team needs completely changing just for a refresh. Maxwell over Nicholls considering he’s much better with his feet. ( depending on how we want to play) Spencer has gone downhill so get him out- don’t know who for- maybe kasumu at right back Helik and Balker have to start Headley Matos I’d like to see how we look without rudoni but he seems undropable for some reason Diarra maybe for some pace and forward thinking.
Stop flogging away with players who put in 5 out of 10 every week. It’s not working. And it’s too predictable
