All negativity aside as there has been plenty from me over the last few weeks, but that was actually a professional performance in the end. The only aberration was how the midfield disappeared and the defence backed off for their first goal.
Irrespective of how bad they were (especially Mr Nelson), we bossed that game and deserved the three.
Just put the crap last few weeks in the bottom drawer and never bring them out again...
Smyth wasn't all that, but his defensive work is what should put him ahead of Saito in away games like this. Please can Poku get fit; there really is a player there... |

Reply | Do we owe Mark Warburton
at 12:51 14 Mar 2026
Warburton was / is the man. The internal conflict that ended up with him being sacked was an absolute joke and if anyone wanted grown ups in charge of our club, he would have won out and those in charge of the youth development would have been put firmly back in their box.
Aside from Eze and Chair, NONE of the development kids were anywhere near the first team and unlikely to be (just check where they all are now). The parallels with Nourry's era are there for all to see. We have to be dependent on a bunch of kids from the youth team as back up, but there are all so green, academy trained and no-where near Football League ready. Yet, the "establishment" expects a Football Coach to blend them into a competitive team.
Warburton was absolutely clear in that "this lot are not good enough" and I am sure that behind the scenes, Stephan is saying the same. I mean last season's great hope, Kieran Morgan has been an utter shadow of what he promised last season. Add in Esquerdinha, Bennie, Pearman, etc. into the mix - none of them have played unless they have HAD to play.
So, he and Eustace should have stayed and Ramsey, Ferdinand, etc. should have been told to up their game or go.
Yet another sliding doors moment we failed to go through the right one... |

You want confirmation what a gratuitous signing Ronnie was? Well here it is. Break the budget to get in a CB that means you have to bin a prospect up to Aberdeen for AND then bench your best central defender. Then play him at right fckn back even though your captain has a season and a half experience playing there. Then put him in as a CB with the wrong partner and watch the team fall apart conceding 11 without reply.
Then, decide that JCS and Cookie are available, so stick him in midfield for 5 minutes 'til M'Bengue gets injured so that you have to pull him back to RB.
Or, you could have spent that £4.5m on three players to cover injuries.
And maybe not loan your actual damage limitation centre mid out.
Madness anywhere else; par for the 'kin course at our 🤡 club... |

Fed up with this club.
Completely broken. This lot are meant to be in the same division as us.
So, so far behind them in every aspect of football. A 'kin joke of a club. They are better individually and collectively. More skillful, more physical, more technical.
0-10 in the last three games, two of them at home.
Just liquidate and put us all out of our misery. |

It's alright though, Ziyad may be back next season.
The issue with the squad is that the reserves are the players "picked for the future" even though they are needed today.
Keep fit, we're ok. Get these injuries, we're fckd.
Most other clubs have 1 or 2 seriously near the first team, Nourry likes to think we have 5 or 6 but none of them would consistly put adequate performances in for the first team.
We HAVE to get the fitness side right or we will be looking down once more. |

Spending £4.5m on a CB then playing him at right back ahead of our RB just shows what a gratuitous and pountless signing Edwards is.
Unbalanced back 4 when that was previously the least of our worries.
So bloody QPR. |

Not for the first time, it's men v boys out there.
Saito, Esq, Morgan, Walsh, Bennie L1 at best.
Nothing going forward, no shape, no drive, no press. It all depends when they choose to declare today. I'm going for 4.
Awful, awful club right now. [Post edited 28 Feb 17:09]

Got the tix for this game AFTER being at St Mary's on Tuesday. Feeling like sh1te then with the starts of this cold, which is now at full tilt making me feel even worse. Mad. Just mad.
The capitulation after Madsen's departure was as stark as you'll see. It was on a par with that Wrexham debacle that still rankles big.
The last home game v Blackburn and the crap on Tuesday were not lost to "better" teams, they were lost through a massive lack of effort. In both games, our lot had no time on the ball and they had all the time and space in the world. Our players are either knackered, inexperienced or 'kin lazy, but after seeing Sheff U on Weds, if they do not match their effort we will again be facing down the barell of the gun.
As a club, we are just not very good. Mis-managed at all levels and once again relying on a squad whose only fit players are mostly more suited to L1 or L2 at best. If that does not come with an increase in effort, there will only be one outcome...

Yes, the game is more physical and more constant, but it is the same for every other team and none of them seem to have 9 players out each week.
Combine that with a small, unbalanced squad and your left with having to get a bunch of kids, who should be learning through a loan at another EFL club, on a pitch they are not ready for.
We are a really, really poor football club these days and it breaks my heart how far we are away from the team I grew up with. |

Yep, should be playing regularly at L1 or L2 level, but had to stay here getting odd minutes here ndcthere 'cos Bicycle Ben can't keep players fit.
Same with Kolli, who remains miles off it at the moment. The odd great 20 mins here and there of excellence is not enough. |
