He's not even a poacher. On the odd occasion a good ball comes over he's miles away from where he needs to be.

Won't have to worry about that next season at least anyway.

We were poor against 10 man Villa, newly promoted Leeds, Wolves (they should have beat us), Bournemouth and Arsenal in August/September.

So what's your excuse for us being shit in August and September then?

It happened to me last season in the Gallowgate. Stood up to watch us take a penalty and got a tap on the shoulder asking if I could sit down. I didn't.

For the first time I'm going to say it but I think he needs to go as the first signs are there that he's starting to tarnish his legacy here. I would hate it to go really sour for him. Far too much respect for the man. The performances and results are absolutely miles away from where they need to and he looks bang out of ideas anout how to turn it around. We'll finish bottom half this season no doubt about it.

Sounded diabolical today. I remember in the not too distant past when a 5.30 Saturday KO guaranteed a pissed up radge crowd and look at the state of that today man. Tragic what we've became off the pitch (and not too good on it either). I turned down a free ticket this morning. Can't be arsed sitting amongst that.

That's not his primary job though.

These tactics and those signings are down to Howe and his nephew. Nobody else. He's been backed with far, far more money than any other manager in our history.

He was given £250m to improve the squad in the summer like. What more were you wanting the owners to do exactly?

If I never see that cunt play for us again it'll be too soon. As the Brentford fans sing "what a waste of money!"

Aye he's a disgrace. Could not give one fuck.

Just thought he might have broken into a sprint just once today considering who the opponents are.

He's utter dog shit. Can't believe we've spunked £55m on him. If we'd waited a year and got him for free I'd still feel hard done by.

Andy Cole used to do that tbf. But then again he was good.

Something needs to change. This is pathetic yet again. Defence all over the place, midfield being dominated, nothing up front.

If it was so clear it would have been given. Think it was one of those that VAR goes with what the ref gives. It was a short pull of the shirt and he's gone over in a way you dont do over if someone is pulling at you from behind. Agree I'm screaming for it in the other box

Can't decide what's worse, our players or the crowd. Remember the days when a 5.30 Saturday KO guaranteed a raucous pissed up crowd. Even Henderson getting no stick.

Wasn't clear. Commentators seemed to think not and he's thrown himself to the ground in an unnatural way for the type of foul. Was one of those where VAR goes with what the ref saw. Wasn't a clear and obvious one. That's not to say I wouldn't have been screaming for it down the other end!

I'd tend to agree if either Gordon or Murphy could be relied upon.

He came on, did well and scored. Another winger has now been injured, and he's still not starting. Murphy chosen ahead of him. That is not going to build the lads confidence. It's more likely to have the opposite effect.

Not sure how dropping him after Wednesday night builds up his confidence like. Best way to buold confidence is to play surely.

Whilst there's very little crowd trouble at PL games these days it seems to have filtered down to the lower leagues and Non League a lot more now. Seen Bromley had to issue a statement last week regarding the conduct of their fans at Gillingham and there's always loads of videos doing the rounds on twitter of bother at Non League games in England and Scotland. Loads of bother at Arbroath v Morton the other week

Aye. 5,400 on Wednesday. Usually 3,000.

Facts are that every single ticketing change this lot have implemented, whether that be for home games or away games, has resulted in a downturn in atmosphere. Maybe it would just have been better leaving things as they were.
