The Maghoma-Dempsey sub was lined up well before they scored. The vast majority of this league treat us as a Cup Final. None more than Wigan. We battered them tonight, but failed in the final third, and I agree that is becoming an all too familiar story. Something needs fixing, but it's not a managerial change. That would be absolute madness. Derby lost at home to Charlton. As painful as it is, some perspective is required. Look at the table.

So why dont we treat every game like a fuckin cup final? Its a management issue, can you not see it?

Hard to trust the opinion of a bloke who said we had the biggest budget in the division then disappeared onto the shadows like Jack the Ripper when it turned out you’d just made it up. X

The football is irrelevant, how we do it is irrelevant, the only thing that is relevant is promotion and if Evatt fails on that with the squad and support he’s had this season then I’m afraid he has to go. He can still pull it off but he’s making it very hard to believe it.

Collins is a wide forward. Like Dapo was. Like Sadlier was. Evatt doesn't play wide forwards. He fckg signs them though. It's a mystery.

You forgot Mendez-Gomez

So not the biggest budget in the division then.

Top 3.

Shame we’re not top 3.

You can bet yourselves it'll be the same at Barnsley & Derby too. Placing our hopes on wing backs to be the main threat going forward when they're the most erratic creative players in our squad, neglecting all the strikers we've spent a ton of of our funds on who must be wondering why the f they've joined us as they're basically defensive forwards running around like headless chickens with chains on hoping for a scrap to fall their way as they don't have the ball progressed to them & then a back three made up of hybrid full backs/centre backs who are asked to play like Dias/Stones/Ake who are as leaky as a faucet when anybody puts any pressure on them. Fair enough Evatt has a philosophy but he does not learn at all from our mistakes does he? We must see these rinse & repeat outcomes 7/8 times a season at least.  It was literally the most predictable outcome you'll ever see... The same old naivety of doing all the work on the ball, going nowhere, wasting time for the opposition by overplaying, waiting too long to make subs, playing into the hands of oppo manager who know we're so weak mentally that one chance will win them a game they shouldn't even be in.

Yes, I can see an issue that needs addressing. I just haven't shat my pants and called for anyone to be sacked.

You got to worry if Evatt thinks that performance was good. 

It was though? We absolutely dominated them for the vast majority of the game.

Good post that what does my head in his tactics hinge on the wing backs getting forward and creating chance ffs none of them can cross a ball consistently so him and Markham are to blame . 
All the LWB we have brought in have been useless at crossing a ball so what did they see in them ?

They allowed us to, though

They have the lowest pressing statistics in the league; it's their entire gameplan to sit off

And too often, when we got in a position to make the hard, low cross in, we instead passed it backwards

The only thing we really dominated was possession

Disappointed is an understatement.

We’ve just been beaten in 2 local derbies against 2 very average teams, without laying a glove on either of them - that’s just not good enough.

Eight legs and Queso still think we are fantastic! Deluded cunts, really feel for them!
