Not saying Cardiff are great, but .... that clip of their bench with Hudson and his coaches crowded around an iPad, looking and debating tactics and formats. At least they're on it and trying to work something out. Wonder what our bench are up to??

Think at half time appy and Co crowd round ipad and watch rate my takeaway or beardmeatsfood (my favs)...:we are a shambles
 
The only bright side is I think that Hull, Rotherham and Udders are even shiter than we are and will go down.
 
Should of took Carey off not Dougall and put Patino in his position, I would be gob smacked if Arsenal see Charlies future as a defensive mid

We look like a relegation team. We have been awful again today, we look like we have no idea what the tactics are and they don't look happy either. They should have had a penalty and Grimshaw should have got a red, he was also in an awful position for their goal so you need to be careful what you wish for.

Why was Appleton standing in the background with his hands in his pockets when there was a break and the players were in a huddle and one of the coaches was doing what Appleton should have been doing.

We don't have the players for 433, the front 3 just don't work as a 3, our midfield 3 is so lightweight, Dougall is a league 1 player at best, Carey is not strong enough and Patino has skill but he isn't anywhere near PL standard yet and he needs more experience and physicality around him. Connolly isn't a right back, Garbutt isn't a left back and

apart from that we are alright.

Connolly isn't a right back, Garbutt isn't a left back and the 2 in the middle have been okay, Hubby the only really decent player we have today.

If we lose this and carry on like we were in the second half then I don't think there is any option other than getting rid of Appleton. He was the wrong choice in the first place and the board have let him down so they need to put things right. Keeping him on and hoping they sign some players in January is Fred Carno to be honest, they have fucked it up for nearly 12 months and they need to start acting like they know what they are doing, I'm certain Sadler hasn't got a clue about football and Mansfor is just ** useless.

They have gone back twice for ex managers, both times managers no one wanted and both times they have failed miserably. The one ex manager they haven't taken on is the only one who could lift the players and the supporters, it's ** laughable.

Madine should have had a red too, we should be down to 9 men, very very lucky, that was a horrible, cynical foul. We are an ill disciplined rabble. I honestly can't see how Appleton can be manager on Monday and I have no confidence in the board.

One word game - freefall….
 
Carey is pitiful in this game so far. He gets the ball, runs a few yards with it then has it taken off him. So far off it, its ridiculous.
Patino miles off too loping round in his gloves.
Madine will get a retrospective four game ban. Thanks Gaz.
Grimmy poor for the goal and gave the ref a decision to take with the non-pan.
Williams a Div 2 centre half.
Garbs a Div 1 left back doing his best.
Connolly keep giving the ball back to them.
Etc
Shocking.

But apart from that everything is hunky dory.🤣
 
Appleton weirdly reminds me of Solksjaer at United in that it looks like there’s no practiced tactics or game plan, and not enough work on positioning and space, but he seems to be able to rally players for second halves. That does not usually last long.

You’re having a laugh….we are undoubtedly the worst team in the division based on our recent efforts

Nope and you can add Wigan to that list. The players we have now should be lower mid table at worst, the teams I mentioned are just pure gash. We all know what the problem is.

Carey needs coaching. There’s a player in there.
 
So we're struggling for a goal and we take off our top scorer by far and leave on Madine who has done nothing, has a yellow card and is getting frustrated.
Excellent.
