Didnt exactly do that. Was shit again tonight. Disppeared again when things were toughIf there is any truth in Madders having the hump, then he could do worse than take a leaf out of Deki’s book and give the manager a dilemma making yourself undroppable through performance.
Totally anonymous. Commentator hardly mentioned him.Didnt exactly do that. Was shit again tonight. Disppeared again when things were tough
Ange's run of getting the rotations right, maximum rotations and still get the points, can to an end with this one. Not helped by so many players being off their game. Still, without Lankshire's second yellow I think we pinch something there, Gala were spent at the end.
Our crappy excuse for a summer window is hurting us very badlyToo many injuries made rotation impossible. Richy not being able to play more than ten minutes is hurting us so badly.

Here we go, from out under the rock they come!The people that like to come back to comments from 3 years ago can bookmark this. We're winning fuck all with this manager and these tactics.
I've been pretty consistent in my opinion of him and what we'll achieve. I've said numerous times we're just a win some lose some side. I don't think we'll win anything and performances like tonight underline my reasoning as to why. Sick to death of the inevitably of these performances and how they get brushed under the carpet by fans and ignore the warning signs.Here we go, from out under the rock they come!
Where were you last week!
I understand that all opinions have to be heard
But fair-weather supporters just have no substance at all!
Cry more.I've been pretty consistent in my opinion of him and what we'll achieve. I've said numerous times we're just a win some lose some side.

Personally I'm just fucking sick of the inevitably of failure. 2nd half vs Brighton away crystal palace away now galatasaray away. Newcastle away Woolwich at home. All absolutely tragic performances. That's a quarter of the way in they're not just gallant defeats they're defeats which have the same problems from last season. If we're on it 100% like 2nd half vs villa we're capable of winning but there's no grinding out of results when you play poor it's all or nothing.
You have to be able to win ugly at times. You have to be able to go away in your big games and get results and strong performances. I don't see that in this team. Yeah we'll beat the riff raff at home and beat the occasional good side at home like villa but there needs to be more than that.
Class
You're welcome.

People keep saying this after every defeat though. I saw exactly the same comments after the recent Palace and Brighton debacles.You can't blame the manager for much of tonight. The players were absolutely shambolic that first half and much of the second, until the form players came on and showed the others what it's all about.
I'm with the manager. I hope this teaches the players and staff a vital lesson. We've had a few of those this season, that's been a bad thing and a blessing.
Seen it heard it all before. Prefer to take a realistic view on what I've seen under ange rather than a delusional head in the sand one. From last season to now they've shown they take nothing from games and make the same mistakes over and over again. It'll happen again and again and again. And you'll be saying the same thing to posters like me next season probably like you did last season and the season before that and the one before that.You're welcome.
You are one of the ones that will complain constantly.
You'll complain until Ange gets sacked.
You'll complain about his replacement.
You'll complain when we win something.
First half tonight was awful, and we still nearly got a point, but at least we have more chances to get the points we need to finish top 8.
Rather than whinge you could take the stance that tonight might be a good learning point for squad and the youngsters especially. It could help going forward.
But no, like I say, cry more.
So, genuinely, why keep watching?Seen it heard it all before. Prefer to take a realistic view on what I've seen under ange rather than a delusional head in the sand one.

And you'll be saying the same thing to posters like me next season probably like you did last season and the season before that and the one before that.
If you want to believe we're going to grow from this fair enough. I think you're as big a mug for that as you do of me taking what I take from tonight's game.
