Dr.T isn't like Lerner. He is a credible businessman. I'm certain he will be having some lengthy discussions with Round and Wyness trying to assess what the fuck is going on.

I have never walked out early not even when we were losing 4-0 to Spurs and 6-0 to Liverpool but tonight I did straight after his stupid substitutions. My season tickets will rest in cupboards till he is gone.

the Lansbury one?

I thought that was baffling.

Bruce should've made only one or two changes in the January window. We were ok with the players he inherited and got a decent run together and got to the fringe of the play-offs. He's made a complete mess of it since January 1st.

Let's hope so. Being a savvy character, I'd be surprised if he's not doing this.

His post match interview was just full of ifs, if this, if that, excuse after excuse, not good enough.

Lansbury MUST have had a knock.

He's a dinosaur - and you know what happened to them - extinct.
That's exactly what he is.

I can't help thinking of Dean Smiths Brentford and wondering, what if?

Lansbury hasn't finished a game yet has he, another one lacking the required level of fitness but I like him. One of the few who goes into a tackle appearing to expect to win it. And that is where the problem lies, simple as that.

Hutton will be quality in Division 3. Better give him a new contract.

Hutton was fine, showed more fight than almost all of the others. We need more characters like him.

I knew it wouldn't be plain sailing, and I never thought I'd have to bring this back, but:

Boot.

Human face.

Forever.

Well that was the all out attacking formation you all requested....

For 20 minutes we were the better team.....Barnsley barely got out of their half and we have plenty of decent chances with Lansbury influential.

The problem I have is pretty much all season we concede the first goal, go to pot and lose.

It's a bit like what John e was saying yesterday. I too don't think it's all about tactics as we played what most fans would want to see tonight and still lost.

It's mentality. All these good players come to the club and shrink in the shirt....where was the fighting spirit and discipline when we go a goal down as even in this league we pretty much lose when we go a goal down.

As much as I try to defend SB and don't want yet another managerial change....6 defeats in 7 games is a total embarrassment. It was at premier league level and it certainly is in this league.

I just don't think there's any quick fit though given everything we've tried in the last 12 months.
