We’ve been a laughing stock at Wembley twice now. Not sure which performance was worse… maybe Saturday is still too raw. Both equally as bad, though Saturdays more unforgivable given how important a game that was and how badly it impacts the club and its fans. In terms of misery Saturday wins by a ...

We got a lot of people laughing about us when we had Allardyce. We didn't really care. We didn’t. We were the team they didn’t want to play. They might have not liked us but it was because we were good and they hated that. I really want to see us be that horrible ruthless club that everyone hates b...

Oxford singing about us on their open top bus parade. One of the worst things is how much of a laughing stock Evatt has made of us. You're not telling me you're rattled by a chant :conf: No - but I don’t like being the club that people poke fun at. We used to be the club poking fun at Leeds etc. Ha...

I'm getting the sense now he's going to stay, with some kind of rallying call from him and Sharon released later this week. It's not what I'd want but I think it's becoming more likely. I think if it’s Evatt and the same players they will get a very rough ride. Pressure will be huge. And they canno...

I got a bit emosh reading that. Not for me. I think he was decent, probably in my top 3 players this season and I enjoyed watching him. But he’s just another bloke who’s picked up a very good wage in a side that I’ll remember as a failure. Really do think Dion Charles will be off this summer as wel...

Only really sinking in today but the prospect of another season (at least) of this awful league is massively depressing. Really hope football gets good soon. We’ve had (bar a brief false dawn in 2017) had a thoroughly miserable decade and a half topped off by the worst day of them all on Saturday. W...

That would do. I don't want to be his bezzie. I can’t think of many managers we’ve had who I’d like ‘outside of their job’ in my estimation. Bruce for sure. Parky who is a top bloke and seems pretty much normal. The rest I struggle with. But their job is to improve our Saturday moods not take us ou...

None of these things are related of course - parking issues, flags, the performance. All entirely independent.

But it just all adds up to the ‘mental picture of the day’ that will last. Kind of symbolic.

BWFC_Insane

I realise that lots won’t like my Gareth Ainsworth shout but I do think he’s the sort of manager who would relish moulding a team that scraps for everything and overachieves. Alex Neil more I think about it is a very good shout. Young still with room to grow. Has a promotion to the championship and ...

If we genuinely want to sign Ashworth then once again I think it shows a significant lack of judgement.

BWFC_Insane

Do you think he in any way is the sort of manager to deliver a side that can do that? I get it mate, you have a "WWSD?" tattoo on your arse. I don't care how Sam would do it. If Evatt is the manager I care how he will do it. If it's someone else I'll care how he will do it. Sam was over 15 years ag...

The rumoured (and I stress rumoured) wages/bonuses to get these lads in through the door early at Rotherham are a bit eyewatering at this level. If there's any agent with a player who might fit they're walking barefoot to Rotherham if needed. Suppose we should be happy they're looking for different...

BWFC_Insane

It’s also the stuff that most irks me from those who continually make out he’s the greatest manager we could ever have. Has anyone actually said that? A lot of people seem to infer that. He’s lucky to be here not the other way round. There are managers with more experience and better records we cou...

Ian has been very clear that he views this club as a vehicle for his inevitable rise to the Premier League. We are very fortunate to get to rid his coattails as Jesus guides him on. If he views this as no longer where the lord intends for him to attain greatness, he may move on. When prophecy fails...

BWFC_Insane

It’s because I believe the system and how we play is exposed when stressed by pressure, well structured teams with enough quality. And I don’t think that is easily changed because I think the weak points are numerous and needing very specific players with very specific qualities. I don’t think we ca...

BWFC_Insane

Specifically I’d say a 4231! Meh, numbers. Players have roles. The numbers don't really matter. If we switch to whatever your preferred system is who do YOU rely on being able to win League One next season? I'm not setting a trap, just wondering how many first 11 players you feel we'd need to top t...

BWFC_Insane

There are fewer wing backs - they are highly specialised roles and I think the quality we need in those positions to specifically make this system work is exceptionally high. You are looking for players with everything in their game. I don’t think it’s the same for example at centre half in a norma...

BWFC_Insane

Not for me. I think the changes needed to make ‘tweaks’ would be too expensive. If Sharon has the money to get top quality wing backs then we can maybe do that but I’m not seeing it likely. Is that true of any player we need in when we attach the words "top quality" to them? Two "top quality" centr...

BWFC_Insane

I’d be reluctant too but I’d also make sure they have protection in front. Players to help head and kick it when necessary to take the pressure off the centre backs. Johnston reads the game better than anyone we’ve got and I think if you say to him and Toal you are here to head it, kick it and keep...
