RagsRagsI said it was rooneys fault not the players back when he was here. I hold my hands up and say I was totally wrong. Here we are on manager number 5, and we’re still absolute cack. If going down gets rid of most of them then fine, cause they’re shocking.
Eustace got some sort of tune out of them, i thought Mowbray was getting there too
Most teams in the division were finding their feet, our players were fresh and playing without pressure on warm days and evenings. In a parallel universe i truly don’t believe a full year of Eustace would have made a jot of difference.
I can guarantee you that if Eustace had stayed we would be safe by now. I think Mowbray will an advancement on Eustace (so not wanting him back)
.... but so many people refuse to give Eustace credit for what was getting us through - organisation, team spirit and a plan (not an exciting plan - but an effective plan)
This is true - 18 points from 11 games versus 21 from the next 28 is quite a difference. I know that it was ONLY 11 games, but feck me, most of the last 28 have been difficult, a couple of Mowbray games apart.

Rooney was still shit, but these players are the most unlikeable, feeble group we have ever had.
Craig Gardner has to go, it is his squad.
PerthBlueBacuna, Paik and Bielek were the only players that turned up today, without Bacuna we would already be relegated
Bacuna was Motm by some distance.
Let’s not forget Mowbray was not particularly enchanted with the players or the performances

So no credit to JE? It was the warm weather and other teams not settling in that got us 18 points?
Since he left the other 5 managers have only got 3 more points than JE got and they have had lots more games
JE was not the messiah and wouldnt have got us promototed but we would be on more than 39 now if he had stayed

its the gutless and half hearted defending, they dont care as they will just find another club, ive said it for weeks, we need bodies on the line, this group of players dont have the collective will to fight for the club, too many loan players, too many journey men.
Sorry Gerry - but that completely misses the entire point of what is going to happen at the club. Less money spent on the team won't result in more money being spent on the stadium ,,,, and vice versa.

I don't think that the intention is either/or. It's both. It will happen, no matter how despondent we're feeling tonight.

I know he hasn't won at Blackburn yet ... but they've only lost about 2 out of 10
RomfordBlueThought Bacuna gave a good shift today. Ditto Paik. Ruddy had a decent game. I don't think there's any lack of effort.
We're just not up to it.
I disagree this is a talented group of players.
There is not shortage of effort
What they seem to lack is a set of balls, as soon as we conceed we fall to bits.
Once again a stupid/ last minute goal.
Not once in the last 6 matches have we lost to a really well worked goal. They have all been sloppy mistakes or last minute lapses
I said when they brought him in that he’d scrape enough draws just to get them to safety. We can’t even do that, we should have got draws today, Southampton, Millwall and Ipswich, but we shoot ourselves in the foot every time by conceding late goals.
Quit the worst set of players to play for blue in a long time. All parts of the team are really poor. We are gone to the first Div they can all I
Leave with my blessings GOOD. Riddance

They're not poor players individually, generally speaking IMO. It's getting those players to play together that's proving to be difficult, since Eustace left. I don't think that the sum is as good as the parts, partly because we have a couple of key elements missing, and one is a bloody striker!

... and that was Eustace's success .... under him the team was greater than the sum of its parts
