Hector was the best

It looked like one of our central defenders pointed directing to McDonald to play the ball back (straight into Sharp's path) when there was no one around the full back and he could easily have turned with it and brought the ball forward. All symptomatic of this disease of playing backwards as a first thought. So it wasn't all the youngster's fault, but of course it was mainly on him as he was facing our goal so should have seen Sharp lurking there.

Don’t care if we lose. Derby playing hungrily. Nice football. Bite. Hunger. Skill. Courage. Haven’t seen this for a while. Great to watch. And this is the reserves. 

nooooo. please not Wisdom

Rooney needs to be careful and learn from January. We had a really close knit group then as well, we then brought in a load of players on deadline day and the team spirit seemed to drop. 

3 more would be enough. In this order: 
Wisdom - to cover CB and RB
Striker
Winger / Attacking Mid
 
 

Hmm, Tuesday-Sunday=48hours. 

To say we ended the game with three centre backs with a combined age of 109, I’d say we did alright.

Loved the way he did a Titanic style turn late on but just shielded with his body and they didn't get a free kick

Hopefully nobody was expecting anything other than that - he hasn’t joined us for the money - he wants to play football 

Jagielka looked a class above in the preseason games and showed it again today. He’s getting on a bit, but he still looks very comfortable at this level. We have to be careful with him, but he still looks agile enough and doesn’t look at all slow. I think he can be an inspired signing, providing we don’t lose him in January.

Class player. This year’s Paul Mcgrath?

What a performance.
Didn't put a foot wrong all game. Calm on the ball, great positioning, great leadership, won every tackle, won every header, even when they outpaced him he just put his body in the way?.  Age is just a number!

Yes, but if I told you, I could lose my spot.

Don't suppose anyone has a spare ticket for tonight's game?
All the moaning in that "Have you lost interest" thread is making me want to jump headfirst into financial (and emotional) ruin and go to Hull tonight.

I hear what you're saying Curtains but look at the facts - I went to Salford and Notts County preseason thought support and backing was very good, I was at Huddersfield and the support especially from the South Stand was excellent.
From what I hear away support yesterday in numbers was very good, detraction being the idiots making offensive remarks. 
So we are backing the team and Rooney but nothing is changing. It's not that simplistic to just say that. 
Something else needs to fundamentally change and quickly.

as i have said many times, look what he has done to Kalvin Phillips. average championship player couple of years ago, now staring for England at a European Championship. Amazing what a good manager can do.

There have been two key moments under Mel Morris' ownership that have defined us - and neither were his fault, just terrible luck
1) The pre season knee injury to George Thorne in 2014/15 - we'd have walked the league with him playing but we had to loan in Omar Mascarell as cover
2) The 1st game of the season in 2015/16 at Bolton when both Will Hughes and Craig Bryson did their knees and were out for most of the season causing Mel to 'panic buy' Bradley Johnson & Jacob Butterfield and triggering our spiral of FFP overspend
 
Both of those seasons we still managed to hit top of the league but lacked the quality of Thorne, Hughes & Bryson to see it over the line
We've been fire fighting ever since

As @GenBralso said above, it seems perfectly reasonable to me. Forget profit and sustainability and amortisation calculations, they are no longer the story here. The Club clearly owes significant debt, and whilst Morris does seem to be paying the wages it equally seems clear that he isn’t prepared to immediately settle long standing debts - to HMRC, Cocu and his team, etc.  Then there is MSD, and I wonder how much is owing to smaller local creditors who supply the club with services. We don’t know, because he won’t tell us nor apparently offer any guarantees to the EFL for the next 12 months. As @kevinhectoringsays there is also a legal obligation in terms of the audited accounts that are being prepared that the owners must - if liabilities exceed assets - give some tangible assurance to the Auditor that the Club can comply with Companies Act requirements as to continuing to trade and pay debts as they fall due.

If we haven’t breached (which would be a great outcome for us) it will mean we’ve had to endure 2 years of absolute dross for nothing. The club has been pushed to the brink of oblivion because of an accountancy method. I’ve never been more disinterested with football than I am now, some clubs signing players for £100m+, players earning £50m a year yet all we want is a couple more frees to bolster our threadbare squad, football is dead.

No,they all deserve it i.m.o.
Rooney had been let down by his bosses but he took on a job he isn't qualified or suited to at this stage of his career and he seems unable to learn from his mistakes whilst managing and coaching which is even more to our detriment.
His worst aspect however is his misguided self belief and he won't admit it's too big a job for him and walk away.

I'm hanging my entire hope on a take over, new manager with ambition and a few players.
Imagine if we got took over and they put someone like wilder in charge. Even alex neil and a few signings would lift this club.
We are the media whipping boys. Ex players and managers laughing at us on sky, bbc, talk sport, twitter.
Desperate stuff.

2 ducking goals in injury time 
ffs 
just kills u doesn’t it 

Can blame the manager and coaching staff for that pathetic first 45 minutes with the way he’s trying to play. Also it’s in a manger to distill mental strength joe many games since Rooney has took over have we conceded and then conceded straight after that today Swansea other games from last season. I quite like your posts Roy but you are as bad as Eric Steele in that you won’t hear a bad word said about Rooney when he’s just as much to blame as others. 
 
your saying your fine with a manager winning 1 in 17 games 

I don't think a lot of people do know it though.
All I see is comments about Rooney. It was the same with Cocu. When will we learn? The problem is down to ownership.
Look at the squad Mel has left us with this season. It's absolutely awful. Where are the good players. Seriously. I mean I look at some of them and they are useless. Completely and utterly useless. That's why we lost in that fashion today, and sadly it will happen all season. 

I don’t.
