How can you say the squad is good enough after that display of ineptitude? Never mind Riza, he's done, but we're stuck with players who can't string 3 passes together & hardly any of them look like they care at all.

100% agreed.

Riza needs to go, but that performance was absolutely disgusting. Ng and Chambers stood out with probably 6/10 performances. The players are soft, slow and fearful.

It's okay blaming the manager for his tactics but if the owner dont even bother to show an interest in the club he own then its his fault for bringing in Riza for little money.
I personally think if sack Riza now then that is relegation confirmed for us and he would only bring someone in for potentially a league 1 campagne.

Bringing on meite instead of Ashford when we are 2-1 down at home is a sacking offence in its own right

After tonights result, looking at the fixtures we have, I cant see us wining any of the remaining matches. Maybe 3 draws QPR, Oxford and Stoke. I cant see this being enough to keep us up. Unless we get a new manager and a miracle?

Hate to say this but we need to go down for some of the massives to finally see the light.

Gentlemen, we don't even look like a team playing with a gun against its head and have just lost to a poor team whose own fans have written them off and haven't won away since September.

I imagine that the three amigos have a panic button installed as we are now used to relegation struggles and that button has a big "W" on it. It pains me to say it but that button needs to be pressed tomorrow as there's only one person qualified for now at least giving us a fighting chance of us staying up and that's certainly not Riza.

It really shouldn't be like this but the reality is that as it stands, we now really stand a huge risk of relegation if things don't change double lively. And forget L1 rebuilds and other stuff if we do as that won't happen either. Leopards. Spots. Groundhog Day.

Tan, your next phone call should be to NW as he would have watched this too and is expecting your call to hire him till the end of the season.

The fact that none of the three clowns bothered to attend shows a total lack of understanding how important the game was tonight .The team looked ok to start but apart from Alves lacked pace ,I would have started with Davies instead of Colwill .But to bring on Meite instead of Ashford is inexcusable :banghead:

You are spot on mate and I note your informed comment that NW is a firefighter, and we yet again need the proven "Red Adair" of Championship survival to get us over the line and give us a bit of breathing space for the three stooges to make some massive changes this summer.

We can't continue like this and only survived last season though points deductions and here we are yet again now relying on the results of the hopefully shittier teams that once again surround us.

It really shouldn't have come to this but I'm currently looking up into the sky for the Warnock batman spotlight.

And you know what? We got exactly what we deserved.

Fans in the stadium sounded angry and I don't blame them one bit.

First half was dreadful with it only getting a tiny bit better in the second half.

We took the lead with a lucky shot, but then just let them back into the game and they got their win - which they deserved.

It was an abject performance in a really important game.

I could defend Riza when we were losing to top four teams but not here. Him and the team absolutely let everyone down tonight and it is so costly.

There can be no excuses tonight, we didn't turn up and that is nowhere near good enough.

Make no mistake, we are right in the shit now.

So much so, I would not be surprised if Tan pressed the panic button tonight - nobody now would blame him.



Fair play to you Ned, a very very honest sad view of us:

Was waiting for someone to bring that up.

Technically I won't be proved wrong if he's sacked before he gets the chance to :lol:

In all seriousness, at least I've got the humility to admit when I'm wrong. Same can't be said for others, who seem to go missing when they're proved wrong.

A game you have to win and you pick an LW at LB and a left back on the bench. Should have gone all out from start horvath ng goutas fish began, Chambers mansvertt colwill ashford salech o dowda. I wouldn't have played Alves no pace beats full back 3 times then passes backwards. Ramsey should only be used as a substitute, did nothing tonight I'm afraid his days have gone. Playing like rhis I can't see who we can beat .

Let's to totally honest, it's everybody's fault, from Tan down to each individual player who stepped foot on that pitch.

We've been a disaster of a club for a number of years. Points deductions for other clubs have saved our sorry arse the last couple of seasons.

We have no fight, no ambition and no desire, from the very top to the bottom of the club.

There's no logical end to it until Tan goes.

Avoid relegation, we have all this to look forward to all this again next season.

Get relegated, look forward to all of this next season.
