Maybe he will sell up…..

More likely he'll sell Ng

I didn't realise that's how bad they've been. But our lot helped them to avoid equalling that record before Bulut began his fist pumps.

I left at full time so I missed that. I cannot believe that happened. Fist pumps after that performance?

[Father Dougal]

Does anyone who was there want to explain the story behind the fist pumps?

[Dave Blue]

No need for an explanation, there is a certain element of our fan base who want to celebrate gross mediocrity. Bulut is too deluded to realise his ineptitude. It will all end in tears.

The players and staff came over to thank the fans for their support, which you would obviously expect after the last game of the season. The fans started doing the ‘wooooooaah’ and a couple of the younger players did a few fist pumps. The fans sang “Erol Bulut we want you to stay” he responded by tapping his chest and thanking the fans, then he did the fist pumps. It felt like a simple ‘thanks for the support’ gesture to me.

Or could it be that they are fed up of chopping and changing manager and not giving them a chance to build something more sustainable?

[Bobby Dandruff]

I didn’t see the game yesterday (thankfully) as I just not that bothered about playing Rotherham with absolutely nothing on the match.

Whereas the result looks shocking and it sounds like a poor performance despite us having the bulk of the possession, I am just not that bothered.

Of course it shouldn’t happen, and it being the last game of the season with little to play for is no excuse, but really, who cares?

I’d actually not realised that we kicked off at 12:30……….

Well if no-one else is, I’ll make the flippant remark that many of our players didn’t realise either.

Realistically, was there any difference between the importance (or otherwise) of yesterday’s game and other recent games against the likes of Sunderland, Millwall and Middlesbrough? To all intents and purposes there was nothing on any of those games either other than points and league table positions.

Has Bulut shown the capacity to build something more sustainable? In my opinion he hasn't

No and I was almost equally disinterested in those games as well, despite going to the Millwall game :-/

Teams often tail off in situations like this so the near hysteria on this board seems a bit much.

On the contrary, they made quite a habit of kicking off regularly for around an hour from around 12:55.

I’m far from convinced, but I’m also far from convinced that the ones making the decisions are capable of replacing him with the right man. It always seems like a roll of the dice with us in recent years. Personally I would like the club to show a bit of ambition and employ a coach with a record of getting the most out of young players.

You do have a sadistic streak....

Any need? I’m enjoying today’s game at Wembley, don’t need flashbacks

[Rjk]

I've missed basically the entire match, and any discourse about it. Were there ANY positives we can take from it?

Tanner and Ashford combined well in the first half, Conte did okay and that’s about it.

We didn't concede 6.

[Rjk]

has Tanner shown enough to be considered for left back /lwb for next season?
