Very VERY impressed. New depths achieved with ease. You know it’s not going to be your day when even the abilities of Kalu, Bayo and Morris can’t swing the match in your favour.
Can't see Bilic surviving this. Let's hope he shows some gumption and walks. Oh and Mr P,I'm still waiting for a reply to my emails.
Even if you are struggling with injuries ought to do better than win 1 in 5/6 and hardly score in any of those games . I mean not like it was against the very top teams.
Ultimately it's our injury situation which is absurd - and losing our only fit CM during the match today was the icing on the cake. We can't expect much against most Champ teams when we're having to resort to Morris at full-back and Ngakia in central midfield. I struggle to direct to much ire at Bilic given the ridiculous situation with the amount of players missing. Having said that, I'll give some minor criticism for keeping WTE on and subbing Cathcart. I've given Cathcart a lot of stick over the last couple of seasons, but he and Kabasele have been decent as a partnership recently, while WTE literally gifted the first goal and deserved to be subbed off beforehand.
Ngakia, Gaspar, Becuna, WTE, Kabasele, TDB, Davis, Sarr (with his current attitude) are just not good enough skills wise, mentally and physically. Very poor players. Asprilla is too raw, but blameless for the current debacle. Shocking display just days after a woeful performance. It stinks.
Martins and Kone will be straight in won't they. Bachman - don't think he did anything right? Still MOTM. Defence - Strangers. Ball watchers. Space cadets. Midfield - injured. Crap. Passengers. Forwards - can't run won't run. Get rid.
Actually having a good chuckle at the lunatics who still spend their time and money on this horrible football club. Again, I genuinely feel nothing. Didn't watch the game - as has now become the normal - and just don't really actually care. The bigger picture of that is really quite sad, but in terms of post match emotion I basically feel nothing for this shell of a club any more, whether we win, lose or draw.
Let’s not forget that the only two goals Watford have scored in four games since the WC break have essentially been two pieces of individual brilliance from Pedro.
From our time in the Prem, we're well accustomed to going into games knowing we're going to lose, but my God it's another level of depressing against mediocre Championship sides
I really cannot be bothered to rant and rave. Shoutbox was more fun that steaming pile. I turned it off at HT.. second half was a total nightmare even on comms. Don't think anyone played well, Bilic is on thin ice. Norwich are going to destroy us if we play anything close to tonight. Squad full of shirkers, spinless morans who could not give a damn tonight. Pick up a wage and go again. Half of them cannot wait to get out of this squad no doubt. Terrible finances and recruitment over the last four years has lead to this. Promotion? Your having a laugh Duxbury. We are fifth somehow, but closer to the bottom than the top. It's starting to hurt, and it's not going to get any better. Credit to any fans' who went - sorry you sat through that. Have a safe trip home.
Obviously we're absolutely decimated by injuries right now, but you'd hope that the players out there could actually put a shift in and perhaps make up for their short comings in other areas by running hard and trying to close players down like the opposition do, but not a hint of it. If you don't have a functioning midfield, why not try winning the ball back high up the pitch as you may actually get a chance from it. I normally try to be positive when things go badly, but we look like a beaten team before the game even kicks off at the moment.
Well done to those that went. I had the luxury of sitting in the warm and switching over to the darts on half an hour.
I feel sorry for Sierralta. Not just because he didn't play ahead of these idiots - but he also had to sit and watch it.
Clearly, we should just sack this season off and prepare for next season, if there's a shred of positivity it's Ben Manga, but seeing as it's been reported that our two January signings are just passing through here on their way to Udinese, it doesn't sound like we've learned much...
If he's got any sense he should just walk away...... This season is goi g down the pan fast and as we all know, once the rot sets in we NEVER pull it it back...
I do wonder about the players, though. The social media clips of them swaggering around the training ground, or beating two static cones and pinging one into the top corner of an empty net give the impression of confident young men at the peak of their powers. But there's barely any of them who can stand in front of a mirror tonight (or on Boxing Day) and justify their level of performance to themselves. As Bilic said, no one goes out to play badly, and they probably do care on some level. They certainly don't want to be made to look utterly clueless, gutless and incompetent twice in a row. But too many of them simply don't understand what it takes to succeed at the level they are at. If they were all sold to League Two clubs tomorrow, half of them would be out of the pro game in 24 months.
Are there still depths this bunch of useless, unfit clowns can’t plumb? We’ve been shockingly poor since the WC break. That jolly to Spain looks to have been completely squandered - no signs of improved fitness, no discernible patterns of play, no off the ball runs, no confidence, barely any goals and leaky as **** at the back. It’s shocking. I’ve genuinely no interest in any of the new players Gino plans to serve up in January either. The likes of Kone and Martins will be completely wasted coming into this setup and league. I’m sure there’ll be some other foreign no-marks signed to add to the general cluelessness of the squad, while serious Championship contenders snap up battle-ready talent from within the PL and EFL.
The way he's treated is incomprehensible. All of our other centre backs can be **** week in, week out for months and nothing comes of it. They're allowed to get away with murder because they have standing at the club. That ******** has been going on for years. Sierralta can have 15 wobbly minutes and our fans insist he's the worst centre back of all time and he's dropped for the next 30 games. Comfortably better than WTE and Kabasele. That's not saying much, but it's pathetic the way he's treated.
The lack of effort is astonishing. In many cases all they’re fit for is “fava beans and a nice Chianti”.
Yup, mental midgets the lot of them. The only time we see any bottle or fight from them it’s completely misdirected. Such as Bachmann ranting at the ref to get a yellow or pathetic brainless fouls being committed when the opposition are going no where fast.
