    Last 2 games we were never realistically going to get anything. Morais has a squad of players that he can’t change that weren’t his choice and are probably lacking confidence. Think Morais knows what players we need and this will depend on which league we are in. Maybe my opinion isn’t valid as I’ve only managed the burton game since Morais took over but I’ll be going Tuesday and will be supporting us!

    I dunno. We used to put up a fight and often beat teams in a better position than us. Since January 2017 we've just rolled over most of the time.

    I meant more when we had an equally (compared to when we had hourihane etc.) poor team, such as the great escape in 12/13.

    At this stage of the season with the likes of Scott Wiseman, Stephen Dawson etc. we beat Watford (3rd), Hull (2nd), Brighton (4th), Leicester (6th), drew away at Cardiff (1st), Palace (5th) and Forest (8th).

    Our record vs the top 10 this season is won 0, drawn 5, lost 10. Rolled over with a few exceptions.

    I get that.

    And accept what you mean.

    But truth is if we are happy to survive. And i mean existence not what division then what can anyone moan about.

    We've had 3 transfer windows to rebuild. We can't use that excuse forever.

    We sold a lot of quality three transfer windows ago. Plenty of time to rebuild better than we have, but the spreadsheet is rubbish.

    It's not a excuse it's just a fact. You can't recruit the amount of players from as low down the pyramid as we have and expect anything but a struggle.

    But you can at least give it a go rather than rolling over from 30 seconds in.

    We've spent two seasons in the championship and been good for only four months of it and that ended 14 months ago. This spreadsheet at this level doesn't work. We aren't going to make a profit selling guys like McGeehan and Thiam.

    I don’t agree with this attitude & if the manager agrees he wants sacking straight away.

    It’s a league where anyone beats anyone, especially February onwards, we’ve all seen how this league works, teams fighting for their lives start winning games, teams fighting for promotion start choking. Every point needs fighting for.

    You’re only a bad tackle away from playing against 10 men for example, we can’t afford to be surrendering games

    So mcgeehan and thiam aren't young enough to get better? And I remember people on here giving Conor pelters at one time. Thiam looks okay sciece the new man has come in to me.

    The spreadsheet is what it is a spreadsheet. Its the human interrogation/application of the parameters within it that is important. There may be several players in it that are good enough but the major factor as I see it is the ability to attract that kind of player to the club. If the package on offer is not good enough they wont come and that is not the fault of the spreadsheet.

    McGeehan can ONLY get better. Un-used sun again on Saturday.

    I’m hoping with a preseason under his belt he can be better next season

    I am hoping the new regime will take stock and re-evaluate and hopefully raise the barrier.
