Having a pop at anyone about anything below boardroom level at this club is just wasting oxygen and time.
Disagree. Players, managers, coaches all need to take their fair share of the blame at times too. Everyone knows Sullivan and Brady are the root causes no doubt but that then doesn't give the rest a free pass because of it. These overpaid wankers deserve being dug out for their part in the car crash as well, even Bowen when it's been appropriate. Can't blame it all on the Board and let the rest get away with it all the time.

KWP did ok yesterday imo
Beg to differ. Don't think he's all that and was part of that calamity goal. Just as bad as the rest of the defence.

Owning us was the cost of doing business for David Sullivan. He now has a asset that was always bleeding out. It was always a property deal. With a time limit on it. That time has passed. They will flog everything that ain’t welded down.We are now being.
”Primed for the Drop.!”
Either way. COYI.

A few on here, as well as Gonzo, have bemoaned the fact that our deputy full backs weren't given game time before yesterday, but I reckon thats a myth.
KWP has played a part in 65% of our league games plus the one Cup match, he was even picked ahead of AWB on occasions. Leaving aside the fact that I'm really not sure he's anywhere near good enough, Scarles has been out with a broken collar bone and has only been training again with the first team squad ahead of Villa. When was he supposed to get more game time? When we were 3-2 down and chasing an equaliser in that match?

"Very important period these four games during Christmas - important to recover well."
So what's his plan for these games.
Play the same team and have the same bench.
I don't know what he will do but if the line up and bench is similar then there should be a mass walk out.
Wilson has to start,that means dropping one of Magassa,Fernandes or Potts.I think he should be looking at Magassa at center back,could do with his energy instead of Kilman who is so slow and bereft of intellignece. Todibo seems to be all over the place but at least his interventions don't the oppo score.
I never wanted JWP to start again but he would still be a better option than Soucek,Rodriguez or Irving coming on. He could even play as a right back,not quick but more intelligence than others.
For Nuno just to kick him out and keep others in another one of his big mistakes
I don't know really I'm just bored of the football,negative tactics,playing his out of form favourites .
Nuno is the biggest Dud we've had.
So you want to drop one of our 3 best midfielders whilst keeping in a player who hasn’t scored or created a goal for about 2 years? What a manager you’d make

The Leeds Utd and Nottingham Forest performances lately are light years ahead of what we're producing.
And Forest benefitted from ditching the Aussie Fraud early doors after only 8 games (proceeding fucking Nuno off after just 3 games) and now look at them flying - in relative terms to being down the bottom - under Dyche. With a 58% win ratio winning regularly in the Prem and in Europe too taking it to the opposition at times. Night and fucking day approach to our shit under Nuno after 12 games now with zero commitments coasting to relegation.
I wanted Dyche to replace Potter when the former was still available. Oh how they laughed on here.
Who's laughing now?
Everybody laughs at you you fucking idiot.

Nowhere near enough. 7 from the next 4 will still leave us in the bottom 3.
We need all 12 to have a chance of survival.

Absolutely no chance of 12.
We could take 12 and still not get out the bottom 3. 7 isn't enough.
And this is a run of fixtures we have no choice but to win. 3 home games which should be bankers if you want to stay up and Wolves away. We need to make point now because they're quickly running out.

This feels like the pivotal weekend and now has us needing 3 or 4 wins just to get back in touch with the pack.
We said it was all about ensuring we didnt get cut adrift before trying to get a few xfers in Jan.
I believe we are now cut adrift. Needs a run of wins and we cannot keep a clean sheet and only have one bloke who can be said to be a reliable goal scorer. Evrn the most optimistic must see we look doomed?

No way would Todibo stay and play in the second tier. His ego wouldn't allow for that.
The likes of KWP, Potts, Scarles would likely stay. Soucek, Mavrapanos and Magassa might too. The rest would want out or be flogged to raise funds.
We need a minimum of three wins from the next four games now. I doubt that will happen with this dud manager and dud squad.

Without reinforcements I have little confidence of bearimg Fulham or Brighton at home. We dont have the firepower. Too reliant on Bowen.
The Sullivan era of 15 years seeing us heading fast back to where we came when he rolled up and “saved us”.
we will obviously lose Bowen but can we hold onto Magassa, Potts and Fernandes, Todibo, Diouf, AWB? Most others Im not sure I care that much. Anyway, I reckon we will spend a long time down this time. Sullivan effect finally dooms us

If we don’t win 3 of Fulham, Brighton, Wolves & Forest I think we can start thinking about the best route to Preston and Wrexham
I am more optimistic than I was but need to start ditching hard luck stories & win some games
Obviously we need a striker & others in January
If that means trading in Paqueta, Soucek , Kilman & Fullkrug then so be it
