I thought we did okay today after the opening 20 minutes or so and the first goal was vital.
We didn't have a lot of luck prior to them scoring and Etheridge didn't have much to save (although it must be said his distribution again wasn't great).
Trying to salvage something from the game with the limited resources we have never looked likely.
We have scraped points where perhaps we didn't deserve them but today was the opposite. What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts.
Our play off chances are now looking very slim.
However, for people to be calling for Warnock to be sacked at this stage need to ask themselves what good that would do us.
It seems now that VT won't invest in any sort of challenge and therefore would not offer any new manager any kind of war chest.
The new manager would have to rely on what he has got, with perhaps the addition of a couple of loanees, for any short term success.
I reckon the only type of manager that we could attract would be another Russell Slade type.
My hope now is that Warnock can get the team to battle (I don't agree with some saying some weren't trying btw) and give the fans something to cheer.
We had better start getting used to mid table mediocrity, at best, for the foreseeable.
Has Mr Bacuna ever been required to practice crosses. Nice hair no flair...... Today.
Surely the reason to change the manager is to halt the slide into mediocrity by restructuring the club throughout, so that the academy is aligned with the first team, with a consistent playing style throughout, which would enable us to produce our own players (surely the point of an academy) ?
This season is a write-off - with or without Warnock, so we might as well make the change now. All a new manager needs to achieve this season is keeping us in the division, whilst embedding a new structure that brings us into the 21st century.
Anything else would be a bonus.
Are they players who are accepting they are nearing the end of the carears , knowing their manager has announced his last season .
As someone famously sung were are " running on empty."
It would be apt to go now ,came in beating the Brizzies, leave now losing to them .
Era over.
Will always be grateful for his input.
Is this our most expensive ever squad ? If you include Reid I think it is..
Hardly. Trollope's expertise was not in troubleshooting, unlike his successor, and had little experience of management in the Championship.
From memory his philosophy was to set up like Real Madrid with a bunch of players who fell well short of the talent needed to play such a system.
His transport analogy would be one of being an unqualified driver on a runaway train.
Pure supposition but perhaps NW was thinking about leaving last season but was nagged to stay on by the club while they compiled a dossier on Russell Osman. After making his decision to stay there have been a few things that might have made him regret it, particularly selling the player we (allegedly) were going to build the team around. Maybe there's a sense of professionalism and pride in what he's doing but he's partly wondering what Tenerife would be like at this time of year. Of course he's going to make sure he's alright (why wouldn't he?) but he's given his word to our job share hierarchy so he's just sticking it out.
Sad . Very sad to have called this yesterday. I for one loved his style of fighting for everything that got us promoted.
I will never forget his last away win 2-0 at Old Trafford. He can take that I am sure.
Thanks Neil. Great job.
You reunited our club and for that I will never forget you.
You delivered much more than was asked of you.
