Does anyone still think this is all Crosby’s fault?

No but he’s cost us points and we’d probably be about 18th if we’d had a competent manager.

Darren says the first goal was a bizarre goal. I can think of better words to use than that! I thought he was a tough character who won’t take any nonsense. Far too much of a nice guy I’m sorry nice guys won’t cut it. The whole club is full of ‘ nice guys ‘ 

He must have the patience of a saint. I reckon if that was Micky Adams or Brian Horton in that interview they’d have gone in two footed on that decision making from Smith. Jones on the penalty was just as dumb too.

Jason Lowe is the new Micheal Tongue but he's even slower.

1st thought can he player it backwards, 2nd thought can he play it the goalkeeper 3rd thought kick it out. He's simply not a L1 standard midfield player.

And DF didn't want tom pett 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣

Dreaming of Zak mills and David Fitzpatrick down the right and left and Reggie up top. A little bit of Michael tongue in the middle and we’re sorted 

There must be some medication you can take for that.

(If not, try you choice of alcohol.)

The guy in the red coat in the Railway who had a pop at Lofty at half time showed more passion than any of them.

Loft didn’t come on until 70-odd mins though??????

He's got to work with the players.

If you watch our free kicks in our own half 40 yards from goal Ripley ALWAYS takes it. If not the ball is tapped to him to dribble forward and then kick long.

<ovf censored> knows what Smudge is thinking. He's had as proper brain fart. 

Which is why it’s even more bizarre that smith tried to take a quick one. Absolutely no need to take that risk early in the game. I thought maybe we’re doing something different here. (But not that different).

He shouldn't have been giving the job, Jean.

This squad is really bad at defending and he was the one coaching them for 90% of the season to this point.

I don't think anyone said it was all his fault - he just isn't very good and shouldn't have been appointed by the frauds above him.

Yes he kept beating the lowest ranked clubs in a cup competition so he kept his job 4 months longer than he should have done.

He’s too nice I’ve seen enough to convince me he isn’t the right man. This lot need a bollocking not defending & excuses made for them! Like I say too nice & his subs are abysmal not brave enough we’re doomed 

[Wozza4England]

I’m not blaming our situation on DM at all but, my god, that post match interview was horrendous. I’m guessing he thought it was a tight game cos he told us 9 or 10 times. Nothing else really made any sense whatsoever.

[Spunk Trumpet]

Ripley. Poor. The pass he gave away 2nd half was atrocious. He’s too emotional and it’s showing in his performances. There’s caring and then there’s losing control of your emotions. And that’s where Ripley is.

Jones. Did ok. Nothing special but looks a good solid left back.

Sang. Thought he did really well. Looked so frustrated at his options going forward.

Debrah. Doesn’t look the player he was. Looks very dodgy on the ball. But when you’ve got Smith next to you what can anyone expect.

Smith. Garbage. Said it before but no club ever comes in for him because he’s really not very good. He can head a ball. He can be nasty. And then what? He makes last ditch tackles because positionally he’s woeful. He’s a huge part of our problem. And he’s certainly no captain.

Lowe. Crap. Get him gone.

Ojo. Not good enough again.

Garrity. Added a bit of fight and improved the middle of the park.

Chisnell. Love the lad. Sadly the weight on his shoulders is weighing heavy. Poor today. Trying way too hard.

Weir. He’s like David Moyes stepping into Alex Fergusons boots in trying to replace Arblaster.

Wilson. Better. Much better. Should have scored but was a threat and ran his socks off.

All in all we are in a mess and doomed.
