Genuinely concerned about our prospects for next season now. Last time I thought we could be relegated from the Championship was when Boothroyd came in and saved us, think I may get those vibes next season too.
How long is Hoedt's contract ? He's probably realized rather quickly the players rule the roost. Mediocre performances don't get punished and you still get your fat wages paid every week for doing an appalling job. His attempted back header was comical as were several other interventions. Think's he's Ronald Koeman but actually is Erwin.
Honestly we'd do better following reids recruitment suggestions than all the turds Pozzo has brought in before Ubenga. Surely it makes sense to follow a model that works as with the chap who revolutionized sport with data harvesting in baseball cutting out the emotion and subjectivity ? Why an earth is Pozzo a supposed Harvard Business School graduate going on outlandish whims, beholden favours to recruit players for the squad and more than that players over the hill on huge contracts when hardly any other clubs no matter their stature do it ? Is he stupid ? Mad ? Suffering a mental ailment we do not know about ? Is he the next Pol Pot ?
For certain, I do not even believe for one minute any major changes will happen over the Summer. We will be told a load of lies again and what little money we do get to improve the squad will no doubt be on Gino's final word. I can not see him letting Manga/Costa have full control over that part of the club. We have had poor Championship starts in the past, but this is going to be a massive uphill climb if we start anything like we are ending this season. I am very worried, and the only person who can really influence any positive changes will still be making the same mistakes next season. On the plus side, I heard the Hot Dogs at Charlton are quite nice.
It's worrying because he started out alright. As do quite a few before being infected by Pozzoitis. You see Porteous play for Scotland, Asprilla for Colombia, Sarr for Senegal and sometimes you'd think we are playing their doppelganger at the Vic. There is something really wrong in the playing culture at London Colney. Zero unity of purpose in everything they do. They cannot even get basic passes correct. And the likes of Kamara. Utter disgrace. He can take his shirt and stuff it where the Sun doesn't shine.
I think you simply have to question Gino's motivation. The activity at the club goes beyond misjudgement or incompetence. We view it as unsuccessful transfer activity, but perhaps we are wrong. Perhaps it has been successful for Gino, because perhaps his interests are not aligned with ours as fans. There has to be a reason for the continued murky dealings with an agent under a cloud of criminal investigation and continued purchasing of players that make absolutely no sense and who turn out to be as crap as expected, for inflated prices.
Massive clear out needed in the summer. Need to bring in proper Championship players that care. There’s a reason that Luton are 3rd- their players aren’t great on paper, but every single one of them cares and is devoted to the cause. We need to bring in players with the right mentality, like Cleverley and Gosling (but with working legs). Much preferred watching passionate players like Carl ****inson play for us when we were sat in 18th…
Just completely weak. The first 20 we were fantastic and then we just capitulated. A total team of individuals who don’t know how to play together or don’t want to play together. No unity, no heart, no leadership. Softest team in the league.
There are silver linings. The result makes it more likely that QPR are relegated, it partly makes up for this lot giving them 6 points this season. Overall I blame the fans - No one at the club takes the responsibility by changing what they do.
Decided to watch that having not watched a game since the QPR disaster. Absolutely no idea why, I had the night off and was bored. I could have done something more exciting like pick up the dog sh*t in the garden. Well, it's only re-affirmed my original feelings. F**k all of them. I don't rate Wilder at all, but at the same time I certainly don't lay any of the blame at him. He gets a free pass for having to work with such a spineless bunch of utter f**ktards. I have seen people on death row with more motivation than the majority of our team. The summer is going to be very interesting. Let's put it this way, if Pozzo and Dux are still here we are absolutely f**ked! Let's face it, even if they've gone we are probably f**ked as the damage has well and truly been inflicted. If it takes 5 years or so of watching us scratch around at the bottom of the Championship like we did under Vialli and Lewington and then again under Malky and Dyche then so be it! As long as we can go back to feeling like a proper club investing in our youth academy and having a connection with the supporters, then great. I miss the days where players like Robbo or Eustace get applauded for kicking someone ten feet into the air! I hope he's sold the club, I really do. Don't want investment, I want a fresh start to allow us to re-build properly without interference from that Italian clown.
oh without a doubt the way the club is run by the owner plays a massive part, but that doesn’t excuse the players, we have had squads in previous seasons who despite the madness of chopping and changing have at least looked interested in the most part, this lot though look out out at having to pass to each other
So much to do this summer. So little chance of getting it done. We’ve been beaten by 3 relegation strugglers in the last month or so. We aren’t going to stay up with what we have.
My sister went tonight, she said Gino was in attendance, sat next to Bayat... so that bodes well for next season already.
We are so so weak, utterly spineless performance cultivated by the rotten culture and leadership of the club. Didn’t bother staying till the end, can’t even be bothered to boo anymore.
Absolutely agree. I would rather see a half-fit Cleverley out there than witness the (ahem) silky skills of Imran Louza, as demonstrated tonight. He was merely going through the motions (in every sense). I thought early on Cardiff were wary of him and were closing him down quickly. They soon realised that by letting him have acres of space and let him misplace very easy passes to blue shirts was a far more productive approach to assist their counter attacks. He regularly found a Cardiff head from every one of his appalling corners but as someone else said, that didn't appear to dissuade him from taking them rather than let Ken have a go. I thought he was particularly woeful but Braveheart and Hoedt were equally bereft at the back. Just pressure our centre halves and they crumble. I had genuiely thought we had unearthed a commanding and committed international player from Hibs but he seems to approach matches like Kabasele now. The Porteus approach now consists of looking surprised and upset that your best isn't good enough. Where is the on-field leadership or some semblance of organisation? WTE will be brought back into the equation and perhaps that might be the right thing to do. Then again I'm no judge of a good centre half. I remember telling my son at Rotherham that getting Kortney Hause on loan was going to shore up our defence for the season after his commanding display... I had hoped some professional pride would be shown after the Huddersfield debacle but, well done boys, you were determined to go that little bit further tonight. Hang your heads in shame!
Horrible, horrible team - totally unsuited to the Championship and have no idea how to play in it. Win, lose or draw, every performance is the same: haphazard and directionless. At 1-0 up and well on top you go for a second and third goal, but no, we waste time passing around at the back instead. Hopeless.
You know it’s bad when Cleverley and Kabasele are getting good comments ! Sometimes players can be looked in a more favourable light when missing .
Out of 3 home matches against Wigan, Huddersfield and Cardiff taken 1 point ,dont get me started on the overhead kick tonight not one player took one for the team ,Absolute gutless the lot of them ,no fight no desire not fit to wear the shirt
