Just watched the highlights of all the other relegation battles

You must have missed the recent home games against Sheff United and Brentford. He finished undefeated in his last 4 home games. Unfortunately the away form at the same time was awful. The team was poor but were motivated enough to only go down as Bolton scored two goals late on yesterday. If Bolton hadn't we'd be celebrating now.

 

FAR too many

 

No, saw those. A motivated team turns up every week, not the odd game here and there. A motivated team doesn't put the effort in one week and not the next. The total lack of consistency in effort and application across games is an example of their lack of motivation, not proof that it wasn't the case.

I'm not sure what your point is, are you attempting to argue Jose was a good manager? Ask our chief exec about that. We dismissed him within minutes of the end of the game. They couldn't wait to get rid of him and made damn sure he couldn't spin any more rubbish to the press before he left, sacking him before his after match interview.

We lost 4-1 yesterday. In a game where we should have been fighting for our lives the majority of our players simply went through the motions. What did or didn't happen at Bolton has zero relation to the merits of our team, or lack there of. We can be judged on our performance not theirs. We had it in our own hands to stay up, regardless of what Bolton did, but we surrendered. Bolton's two late goals shows that their team were motivated. Our capitulation shows that we weren't.

We've just been led to relegation by the most inept leadership in the history of our club. The state of the club is not Jose's fault, the lack of quality in the team is not Jose's fault, but the lack of fight in our bid to avoid the drop is. Particularly as this squad of players had shown that effort is the one thing they were capable of. Jose deserves no accolades and no defence. He wasn't up to the job.

 

Just watched our highlights back. The defending looks even worse on there than it did in person. Absolutely zero effort to get anywhere near the Derby scorers. Pathetic from everyone involved yesterday, other than Walton, Hammill and the 3,113 Reds down there witnessing it first-hand.

 

Done by quick thinking and quick feet in the end. First two goals Jerome just ran away from us. He's older than everyone in our team.

We are just so slow. Over thinking and over playing.

 

Thought our body language was terrible once we went behind yesterday.A lot of slumped shoulders and heads bowed as if they knew we were going to be relegated .Mcburnie probably the worst culprit he looked totally fed up . Join the club Ollie lad.

 

That's not quite how it worked. Burton were aware of the Bolton score and went gun to. If Bolton were losing/drawing then Burton play conservatively against 10 men and stay up.

Ultimately a failure to beat Bolton or Burton at home during the run in has cost us.

 

Your vendetta against Morais is getting dafter. We were completely devoid of any ideas and unmotivated under Heckingbottom on loads of occasions (Bristol, Derby, Sheff U, Leeds, Reading x2, Villa x2, Bolton, QPR away). We were as bad under Heckingbottom as we were under Morais if not worse. They both failed and they’re both now gone, we will move on.

 

Yeah, we didn't get relegated yesterday in my mind, it was over the entire season we were pap. The league table reflects that.
