10 points adrift 11 games to go. Surely nobody can think there is any chance of staying up now.

Thanks Neil Lennon, this is largely your fault.

Back to the bottom and 10 points adrift of safety. That surely is it now.

You can't be serious ?

Seriously we've been down for months....we are the worst team in the league, we play the worst football and have absolute soft cnut tossers for players - fcuk of Mark Davies seriously you are a fcuking joke (although a rich one) ditto for Pratley, Spearing, Danns, Dervite, Amos, Madine and anyone else who I may have omitted.

We are a complete circus on the pitch & a complete circus off the pitch
We have a complete incompetent tool managing the club & a complete incompetent tool owning / running the club.

But if there is one person to blame for this its Eddie Davies....very closely followed by Neil Lennon

Can you both fcuk off sharpish please....thanks

Thats it for us in the Championship. No doubt about it. Our manager is the worst in the Division no matter the excuses. His team selections seem to be based on emotions than intelligence. The team is one of the weakest in the Division but my Lord, they get little or no help from the Manager.

^^A half decent manager would have used the off the pitch stuff to bring the players together and generate some real fighting spirit.

Instead Lennon has sulked, moaned, said the job hasn't met his ambitions and behaved like a petulant child because there weren't millions available to him. All the while ignoring the fact he has signed players on very, very healthy contracts then deciding they aren't any good, or playing them week in week out when they clearly aren't very good.

He's Owen Coyle like in his approach and only less disastrous because there has been less to gamble with.

1st time out of the top two leagues since 1993....just let that sink in

Fcuk off Eddie Davies, Fcuk off Neil Lennon - I wonder who Lennon will blame tonight, everyone & everything apart from his sheer incompetence as a manager, he's a utter fecking ball bag

Please let's get rid of this clown before next season. If we give him a chance he will be sacked ten games in when promotion is already a distant dream. I'd also pay off Madine. Spends most of the time on the floor. Never wins headers. Terrible again today. Best player was feeney or trotter

Yep. Major mistake was keeping Coyle upon relegation. Probably cost us play offs if not more.

Freedman took us to the verge of the play offs. Had Coyle gone the day after Stoke, who knows.

Lennon is a wrong 'un. Can't afford to keep him.

Mind I suppose right now we can't afford to sack him. I'm sure sports shield want rid so that is one reason I hope they get over the line as I'm sure they will try their best to get rid of him.

I don't want him sacked yet. No point. too late for anyone to keep us up anyway. Sack him now he walks with a big pay off he doesn't deserve. Wait til relegation is official and apparently they can sack him on the cheap.

Quick reminder that Eddie gave Neil a three-year contract. Which is a shame, because I agree that we'd probably be better off binning Lennon before the kind of lower-league scrap he hasn't experienced since he was a kid at Crewe. As noted, it would be yet another sacking in September/October, when it's too late, and yer man (whoever it may be: Coyle, Freedman, Lennon) has wasted the budget.

Even though we can still mathematically get out of this, I acknowledge that we almost certainly won't; we're now close to the Rubicon moment of needing to make up more points than there are games left. All hope of escape has been predicated on a significant improvement in form, and here's a stat: we're 10 points off safety with 11 games left, and in the last 11 games we've only collected 8 points. In other words, if we carry on as we are, we might not reach the safety total even if the others go on holiday right now - and of course they aren't, inspired to wins today by managers as different as Karl Robinson and Neil Warnock. I've rarely been one for "Anyone Could Do Better", and even in this death spiral we haven't been as abjectly hopeless as a few BWFC teams I've seen, but I'm beginning to believe that few managers could do worse.

Yup. And if we did get a new manager in now. He's come in all entuatstic! By the end of the season he'd be on a downer in all!

Wait till the end!

Major mistake was having Big Sam fxck off. All the rest since have been minor mistakes piled on top of minor mistakes.

Aye indeed. And that isn't hindsight either.
