[paidsy]

Take him off now

 

[drblade]

Lucky boy

 

[Berkshire Blade]

peck lucky to stay on. Not only for the challenge but his inability to be a defensive midfielder on his own

 

[SLB]

Peck trying his hardest to get sent off

Should sub him immediately.

 

[toledo]

Wow, that was a defo red!

 

[Ranmoorblade]

That’s a red card all day long.

 

[HillStreet Blade]

Peck lucky not get a red card.

 

[Thrice]

That's a red with VAR.

 

[gooseh]

This is dire. And lucky there is no VAR

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

What in God's truth are we trying to do tactically. We've carried zero momentum from Milwall 2nd half

 

[metalblade]

Another like that from Peck and he's off

 

[paidsy]

What in God's truth are we trying to do tactically. We've carried zero momentum from Milwall 2nd half

Seemingly no consideration for defence while being unable to create any chances of our own. Suicide.

 

[Colombia Blade]

Peck trying his hardest to get sent off

Nah he looked genuinely concerned after he'd done it. Would be red with VAR tho but a genuine attempt to get the ball I think

 

[M12allot]

I know the games been dire so far, but hear me out. Japhy Long Throw.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Defensively we’re completely open again

 

[ATL Recs]

If you can't press properly, we should just sit in. 5 players do a half press and then get round us so easily

Exactly

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Burrows is such an easy target on the wing. His defensive positioning is absolutely bobbar.

 

[Addison]

Theres nothing in midfield Manager is oblivious to it. Left side constantly under pressure. Its dire.

 

[ATL Recs]

Nah he looked genuinely concerned after he'd done it. Would be red with VAR tho but a genuine attempt to get the ball I think

Still a red with or without VAR

 

[Jon Bon II]

There's just no shape. We're all over the bloody place.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hamer once again wasted, on the periphery

Every time the ball is out left, it's always Barry, never Hamer

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Sky should be looking for out of work managers in the stand.

This is over.

 

[Aston max]

I've been willing to give the bloke a chance but a bit like amorin , he's trying to play a certain way but hasn't got the players, we need to swap back to 4-2-3-1 until everything has settled down or players who can fit into the system are either signed or return from injury
Godfrey from what I'm watching is playing a inverted right back covering midfield.

 

[drblade]

I’m no Selles hater but there’s just no evidence he knows what he’s doing.

UTB

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Please get shut of this manager he is completely and utterly shit

 

[manxblade]

Sack him at half time

 

[JayGreen17]

Dire…. Get him out…

He’s not a manager, coach or tactician, what a fraud….

 

[toledo]

I just cannot see us scoring... no midfield....

 

[Hackey Blade]

Hopefully they sack sey yes at halftime, we might try in the second half then

 

[Champagneblade]

30 gone and not a single shot.

We all want any manager to succeed but as per last game, this is Xisco levels of set up.

Not even doing the basics.

Adios!
