Yes it looked like it to me....unless there was someone else in his eye line, it was straight after Lennon jumped up and started screaming at him.

This side would struggle in League 1 - absolutely shambolic, they play like a pub team & Pratley is fcuking abysmal
It looks like he says 'scottish prick' to me, so either he's talking to someone else or his ear for accents is as accurate as his shooting.
'I was having a f*cking shot, you prick', is what he said. That doesn't make it much better, mind.
At least that's not racist. It'd be terrible to go down that road. I mean ... priorities & all that.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Aye, not sure I'd want to admit to that being a shot though... :)

Indeed not. D'you remember preseason, when he looked deadly? Now he looks deathly.

Seems to have spread throught the side. We look bereft of ideas, confidence and fight. Far too many actions seem about keeping possession, even if it means going backwards (which it often does) rather than attacking the goal. That and losing possesion through half-hearted, careless flicks.Add our propensity (good word that for a Monday?) to hit it long and hope, and our game is pretty sad.

Lennon looks totally disinterested. The performance for large parts looked disinterested.

Brentford should have won comfortably. We had a spell for about 10 minutes after scoring. Beyond that we were woeful.

This team is not motivated, organised or energetic. Looking at Lennons body language it is no wonder.

I wonder how much the players not getting paid is affecting their motivation.

it's a very handy excuse now - but it is just that - an excuse... nobody believes they will not get their cash sooner or later, and in the mean time they won't starve...

I don't buy the not looking interested at all. No shortage of "passion", look at the reaction to the goal. No shortage of caring (witness Ameobi's pathetic but wholehearted attempts to scab a pen; of any of thems indignant frustration at resorting to kicking out at a better team). They're just not all that good. Star player, Feeney, by a mile. He's limited, and you're not getting any shape on anything, but he gets it in every time and is actually positive. Once we had two big men in there we looked like scoring.

I actually thought they looked good, some of the stuff they strung together was lovely (though we didn't make it hard). First half we loooked abysmal. A team who couldn't play football trying to beat a team who could. Second half we looked a threat. It happened by accident with Clayton going off but with two big men in the box and balls chucked in we looked like scoring.

I hope he's got the nous to recognise that because, as ugly as it was, there were goals there, and it's the first time I've thought that since August!

It's a sad day for the club when we can't pay wages, are bottom of our league, but most of all when we are scratching around with worthless c*nts like madine as our best hope of a goal. What a joke.

remember going to the first few games of his reign, spent more time watching Lennon's animations than the match! he was kicking and heading every ball, running up and down, screaming and shouting, and going batshit when we scored. was great!

now he just slumps in that chair behind his snood with his arms folded :(

Having not seen us play a full 90 mins for a while, even on tv, last night I thought I'd give it a go. I wondered if the rumours of our demise as a team, not a club, were being exaggerated. Fck me, people aren't wrong! We were woeful.
First 2 mins, played high and pressed well. I thought this is looking good. Then downhill all the way.
Without Amos, we would have lost by 3 or 4. Vela, totally exposed as not a right back. Cassado, not too bad. Wheater played ok for me. Danns & Feeney industrious but lacking quality, although Feeney did keep getting the ball into the box. Madine, the not got a goal in him in a month of sundays machine is fkng dreadful. Technically inept. As for openly abusing his manager like he did, wtf!? Could you imagine a player doing that to Ferguson or Allardyce ? Bin him off now, let him rot in the reserves. Davies was lucky to stay on the pitch, but looking at him, it seemed it was the last place he wanted to be. Everyone else could walk out of the door I'd not miss 'em.
Things look very grim indeed.

We can't bin Madine off because we only have Ameobi on a short term pay as you play deal. So presumably he will be off soon as we need to save every penny.

Meaning Madine is all we will have left.

I thought Danns had a very good game last night. I thought Feeney played fairly well. The rest were an apology for a football team.

Lennon genuinely looks to me to have zero fight in him. GM makes the point above in that when Lennon arrived he was full of animation and fight on the touchline. Since we went out of the cup to Liverpool last season he has looked less and less interested. More often than not slumped on the bench arms folded Lennie Lawrence style.

Presumably because it finally dawned on him that he's banging his head against a wall with this lot. He can shout and wave his arms around as much as he likes, wont make a blind bit of difference. He could pick a proper right back and try and play a settled side though.

1. Their goal was actually very nice.

2. Our defending is sketchy at times, but clearly, isn't bad enough to be costing us games. Glad that was at least semi fixed before we ran out of money.

3. Why is Vela at full back again?

Pisano and Wilson are in the doghouse and Campo mk11 is as big a calamity at right back as Bobo trying to run up a spiral staircase.

Sort of This!

But if he picked a settled team etc and we still performed to this standard, history suggests we would, he'd get called for not changing it round. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You can't make a silk purse from a Sows ear..

Shouting anything at this lot is wasted.. They're either to old to hear it, Don't understand it or as thick as a Whale omlette and become confused and disorientatted as the drain on brain activity towards reason and away from motor function increases the risk of falling over with the effort. Or worse still Gary Madine , the fifth Goal post.

We're in Limbo until Poundland or whoever make a bid whether or not that will be in time is debatable especially if the overdraft gets called in and we cop the 12 point deduction..

Happy days,.

It was taken very nicely by a lad who simply trotted through from midfield unchecked. He looked like a pheasant popping out of a hedgerow the way he simply took a few steps forward.

That wasn't in isolation either. They waltzed through at ease most of the match. There was a huge gap between the centre halves too.
