It was out of character, doing something he’d never done before. Sawyers has been a very good Championship midfielder and through his career has played with character and bravery - he’s like Steve McPhail whose name has been mentioned in this thread in that he wanted to get on the ball and play even when things were not going well for his team, that takes character and bravery in my book.That said, he’s struggling again lately after doing well when Lamouchi first came here.
You won’t get an argument from me about Ojo though, I’m afraid I’ve given up on him after our last two home games.
I was looking for a quick summary and you have provided it. Awful from the manager down. A key home game and they looked like all their work was done on Friday. No hint of any desire to win the game and they were forced into upping their game after the inevitable goal.
Depends why they were brought in to the club and what characteristics were identified as being needed by Morison. Plenty of our fans could never work out why whitts didn't throw himself into tackles, it wasn't part of his game. I'm not comparing whitts ability with either sawyers or ojo, but the point I'm making stands. Anyway, enjoy your evening.
Are you sure you're not comparing Whitts with anything we have now? It certainly sounds like it.
I am not talking about past teams or players I am talking about the team. The one that started today. The one that hasn't shown up a fair few times this season.
I think we need desire in the middle. Not two lads plodding about like it is a friendly.
In my opinion it was a massive mistake bringing Ojo back. I'd be happy if that was the last game we see him play.
Agreed we haven't got enough of the overall quality to compete with most in the division but I think Lamouchi shot himself in the foot today by not starting Ralls and taking Philogene off too early.
With a different starting line up and a bit more organisation and motivation from the manager we might have at least got a point today. This wasn't one of Lamouchi's better games.
If Ojo and Wickham never play for us again I'd be delighted
What a weak and pathetic squad we have
Sabri showed today though he certainly isn't the messiah
However when very few or any of our players would get in other squads in this division he's clearly limited by what he can do
2 wins will do it but we are just as likely to screw it up
Bunch of shithouses
We have needed a Barry Bannan or an Alex Pritchard for several seasons. Lamouchi plays Sawyers for that reason but he is not a busy player. Either of those 2 or Chair from QPR run every game against us.
Very poor today, deserved and got nothing, and I am an optimist. Nothing good to see.
Hopefully Birmingham get a points deduction...
As the game progressed, the remarks you make were my thoughts exactly. And regarding the non-corner taker… I said to my Grandson that it looks like they were waiting for Joe Ralls to take it (obviously he was sat on the bench at the time).

I would like to know what tactics the management employed today. What was the game plan? What ever it was it was a complete and utter disaster. Biggest load of crap I've witnessed since the Jack game.
Ojo is shite, end of thread
I agree. We tried to win a game with Ralls, Rino and Wintle in the middle. The first two can’t pass, and Wintle isn’t going to open sides up. They’re all trying, they’re just not up to it.
That being said, it was so odd to see him go away from the Blackpool side. Just doesn’t make sense. It is even more curious he brought on Simpson over Ralls.
