So manager of the month twice in one season,second in the league,best goal difference,fantastic home and away crowds every single week...and yet,the usual suspects think that clowes will sack him 😂

I do wonder just how many of them actually go to games or even watch the on TV rather than just reading the scores at the end of every match and making "decisions" based on that.

Boo!

Useless tasser. 

And all that with a bunch of (if you believe the forum) useless players.

He’s not the Messiah. He’s just a very naughty boy.

If fozzie,gayle and bird are close to fitness we have to start risking them auto's is still on but we have to win all 3 games

we need them in the squad gives everyone a lift or do we save them and settle for playoffs 

Bristol City might have something to say about rushing Bird back!

B kind

B positive 

B loud and proud 

B4 you’ve given us so much to think about 

Happy B Day

Always liked the Puma kits.

Hoping for some exciting designs.

Did you watch the game? I don't recall last season's match but if Tue was an improvement then I've probably had therapy to help me forget it!

I can't remember so many 'WTF was that' moments in any game. Just constantly covering my face with my hands and/or swearing at the TV. Basic errors, unbelievably loose passing, elementary mistakes like being off-side or giving stupid fouls away or not attacking the ball and giving them soft goal kicks. Throw in horrific shooting,  an absolute lack of intensity,  determination to keep lumping it down the wings to no effect and running the ball into touch unnecessarily.  I just struggled to see how we were a professional team at times...it was more like a charity event. I honestly don't think we would have played any worse if I'd dragged myself up and down the wing instead of CBT. On paper we looked an attacking side,  but Washington, Collins and NML all looked woefully unengaged with the rest of the team.

It was every bit as bad as the Northampton game,  except Wycombe looked even more there for the taking until we gave them confidence.

I honestly can't remember how many times frustration at how brain dead our play was gave way to bitter, hollow laughter.

I'm just about now contemplating having to watch us again and invest hope in Bolton slipping up again but omg when we are bad we are soooooo bad.

Wildsmith

Wilson Nelson Cashin Sibley

Adams Smith 

Bird 

Barks  Collins NML 

 

If they were fit, I think I’d agree with your team but I don’t think Bird and Barks are fit to start.

 I’m a bit surprised Fornah hasn’t been given a go. He’s not great but he is physical and can run.

That does actually look like my pose on the coach!

Don’t think any of the subs strengthened us.

Waghorn used to be a good, aggressive player but now he’s just an aggressive player. He commits fouls hoping not to be seen despite the fact they are about as inconspicuous as a tiger in a nunnery.

We’re all on here moaning about a point at Wycombe. We are still second in the league.

What would B4 be saying right now?

My guess is come on guys, let’s get behind the team on Saturday and get Pride Park rocking.

Portsmouth will beat Bolton and we’ll be four points ahead again.

He is doing - starting Saturday. 

Not sure how adding Bradley helps in any logical way.

Our problems are in attack. We have a selection of forwards who either aren’t fully fit or otherwise just aren’t good enough.

Smith and Adams battled manfully in midfield but they desperately need a third player they can rely upon. Ward provided that briefly. Bird’s return would help massively.

We have the version of James Collins who runs around a lot without being creative and Washington who gets behind defences and then….nothing.

NML looks cursed. I have never seen a player kick the ball into touch as often.

We know CBT can be good, but does he?

What surprised me last night was our willingness to pump the ball in the air again, letting Wildsmith take long free kicks when creativity was needed. I hope that they will practice in training the slick first time passing which can produce the three wins we need.

What has happened to NML?

He looks like a man who has forgotten how to play football. He needs a rest I think.

He has been the driving force in our season but when he’s out of form we create little.

Anyone else feel a bit sick?

This is one ugly game!

Pretty disappointing half really. Sloppy in both attack and defence.

Need to sharpen up!

I find him similar to Jordan Pickford, where he's generally really good in all areas, integral to the team's success... and then he will throw in a really terrible performance and/or make a particularly spectacular error of judgement. 

I know that's an issue for all keepers but both his highs n lows are more than eg Vickers. It makes it harder to drop him as his level doesn't ebb and flow it just occasionally drops off a cliff and promptly returns to his normal high standards. 

However, recently I have felt his kicking in particular has been poor. He has also looked a bit shaky from crosses. So I'd be tempted if that's been similar in training,  but it would be a big call.

I think he’s in the loopy keeper category. I used to love the way he came out of his goal to catch crosses but now he’s more likely to punch them.

We have his many mysterious injuries that leave him on the floor before a miraculous recovery.

And finally the crazy moments.

I’m not sure, however, that Vickers is better. I think from a technical standpoint Wildsmith definitely has the edge. Let’s just hope he can hold it together mentally between now and the end of the season.

I said to Mrs Badger. Don't you think I'm like Larry David?

She replied. Yes <pause> you're a bald bad tempered t*** too.

How we laughed. 

But are you disgruntled? 😊

Just watched the last ever episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I am grieving the loss already!

Off the wall humour which reminds us of our very worst foibles is a great  skill.

 I hope LD starts a new project soon.

Stansfield and Bacuna could be on their way to us 😊

If you ate your crusts you would get hairs on your chest.

 I know women who still won’t eat crusts based on that saying!

Aasgaard at Wigan would be a top addition.

Young, mobile and still improving.

I don't know the best place to post this, but atmosphere is a big part of these last few games, imo. 

Popside fanatics are doing a great job alongside Nick with increasing the visual displays - we even had flags away at Pompey! Of course, this all costs money, so if anyone appreciates the displays and can help by chipping in a small amount, here's the link.

 

Would be nice to get updates on the progress of the appeal.

Even PW likes flags 😊

Only like 6 months too late, but guess we'll take it.

Bit harsh for someone with 6 goals and 7 assists.

At his age and fitness level he’s an impact sub now.

Definitely struggled in a two man midfield. Arguably better on the left side of a four.

Not part of our future so best left as a bit part player.

A treat for fans of heavy breathing…. or cones.

Better make sure Leeds aren’t watching. I’ve heard Pep has sent scouts too.
