Agree. It was a farce.
There was a bit in the second half where the play stopped on the far side of the field for a prolonged period of David Webb faffing about and we started signing "what's going on?" because we genuinely couldn't tell. |

While this is totally correct, I think the point made by others about mood/momentum/credit with supporters is valid.
McClaren, who people were already a bit meh about, made ten changes for a very winnable League Cup game at Blackpool, lost, then got hammered at Swansea on Saturday anyway. That pissd a lot of people off. He didn't last long.
Warburton, who people really quite liked, likewise with the Sheff Wed cup tie when, farcically, he rested a very in form Nahki Wells to play against us for Bristol City the following week. That burned off a lot of credit.
We've lost to Leicester, fine, we were probably gonna do that anyway with the team they put out. If we go and get good results at Plymouth and Hull it'll soon be forgotten. If we don't, and the defeats start stacking up again, then people will wonder why we were so keen to stop the momentum and good mood of the recent run. "The slide started at Leicester" etc etc.

I mean Brentford have even less excuse. 11th in the league, miles away from problems or Europe, and you've got a team capable of actually winning the thing - a first ever major domestic trophy. And you do that with it? I'd be fuming. |

His role at the moment, as I said in the report, is sub for the last 15-20 minutes of games we're leading. He's energetic and pesky on the high press, so he can do all that closing down. |

But rich. Which, again, is half the problem. |

Well, I'm pretty annoyed either way.
That was embarrassing yesterday, and our FA Cup record is an embarrassment in general. |

We basically have this same thread every year don't we? I'm very much more with DaveB and GaryBannister on this issue. Particularly if, as I strongly suspect, our rested stars go to Plymouth and get beaten next week. |

There's probably some grey area we could have resided in between "miracles" and conceding six goals. |

Well, as I said in the match preview - go on then.
Go and beat Plymouth next week. |

Yeh as Simmo said on here a few weeks ago, it's exactly that sort of data that lumbered us with him in the first place. |

If he was half as good as he thought he was we’d have a hell of a player on our hands. |
