Connell shouldn’t have even been on the pitch, anyone playing with their shirt tucked in deserves to be sent off 

Horrible little cunt.

God, I wish he was in our midfield.

[MancWanderer]

There’s no denying it, that was just awful. Over both games

Give us a Pizza Cup and play offs at the beginning of the season and I’ve taken it but the way we just ended with a whimper is just a bit sad

Plymouth and Ipswich gone out of this league. Hopefully Wednesday as well. I’ll take a positive look forward

That's true but we also can look at Ipswich, play a similar style of football, only team in the league to average more possession than us (60%) 

We are on a process and it's taking time, we are showing the right signs of progress but we just simply need to get better at what we do.

Ipswich would have passed them off the park and scored a couple of goals like they beat them 3-0 at their place a few weeks ago.

But what Ipswich had is investment. The board have to back evatt in the summer, because a lot of our players are not good enough to play the way we try to.

When it comes off, we look unplayable when it doesn't we look abysmal.

Another season at league 1 is more than fine for the position we've been on, having only come from a complete reset of an entirely new squad in League 2 just 2 seasons ago.

Next year, autos have to be the target.

Please never say autos again. Makes my teeth itch.

Our board can't back Evatt to anything like they've backed their manager

I'd be looking at Argyle as an example personally

Randell Williams is not a footballer.

Ipswich had a ridiculous budget. Paying over a million and close to a million for some players. I’d expect nothing but promotion with that investment in this league

Ipswich spent over £1m on a full-back. 
We can only spend what we have.

Victor for Dapo looks crazy.

Nah - not sure what they are doing is all that good. But we'll see.

Also being Bolton we need a very different model.

Is anyone seriously saying replace Evatt though?

Yes

Indeed. No reason to fear Barnsley or Derby (or assume we're any better than them). Tinpot teams coming down (though one will come good, they usually do - won't be Wigan though), few else from this league to worry about apart from if Wycombe get consistent or Pompey learn how to convert some draws into wins. Nobody coming up that's a sleeping giant (though Orient will be one to avoid early season until they run out of steam - cracking old school away though).

Twitter mainly.

though a few on here seem to never have a good word for Evatt.

it’s a minority. But it’s tedious.

At least I don’t have to go to Wembley

I just meant in the sense of a club the built gradually rather than spending heavily

This is true. You can look at Ipswich, Argyle and whoever else you like. They haven't come as far as we have in the not so many years since FV took over. We were at zero everything then. They have had years and years to get here.

Saved myself some money anyway. 

[Whitesince63]

My only concern with Evatt is that he doesn’t seem to like players with character, who have an opinion that differs to his. We have no leaders on the pitch and everybody has to play to his instructions even if things aren’t working. Sometimes you just need someone to take the initiative on the pitch but we don’t have that. The nearest we did have were Sarce and Doyler and look what happened there? Evatt has many qualities and he’s done a super job but I do wish he could be a little more humble and accept that sometimes he needs help on the pitch as much as off it.

Nonsense. We have players with bags of character, Jones, Dempsey, Toal and Bradley to name a few. Otherwise, great post 🙈

What are Evatts qualities?
