Pathetic.

Absolutely pathetic.

Wood should have scored. He looks well off the boil to me but does put the work in. Lacking in quality I think.

Have to agree substitution choices were poor.

Wood should have score 1 easy one and another even easier one. Give Ante a start.

Very disappointing as we played quite well really.

your right there about botaka stoopo
didn't deserve to lose, but our defence still very shaky, cooper going off very unlucky, but still prefer ant and wood to come firing out of the blocks as we create more chances and they link up well. not sure what wootton offers. bring back Austin/dioufy... anything to get us out of this mess...

That broke the record of games since we last won at home.

Yet people still think progress is being made

Yes we played decently (defence seemed dodgy as always) but 11pts from 11 games is shameful. At the end of last season, the only teams that had less than 1pt per game all got relegated. This can't be down to just Rosler. I think the fans should demonstrate against Cellino - nothing but bad news since the guy took over.

I'm sure Stevie and Perth will tell us how much better the club is compared to last season.

this wasn't Rosler's fault. We were unlucky today - again silly defensive errors (need to stamp those out). Easily matched top of the league team. Give him time.
...................................................

His decisions cost us the game.

Took off Botaka and replaced him with the most out of form players of the season. As a result Bong was now free to move further into our half. Once he did EVERYTHING went down that flank and HE MADE AN ASSIST!

He set us up with 1 up front which meant Wood had to do more...he is looking more and more like a guy incapable of consistent quality play.

Rosler out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think that cost us the game...I put it down to Bamba's lunge for their first goal, woods miss and coopers injury. Yes, we lost, but I don't feel too disheartened based on that performance. We've played 6 of top 7 teams, and not been outplayed by any of them. We've a lot of work to do....but I really really don't see how changing manager again is the answer and starting all over again, new manager re-structuring the squad etc. give roster the season. we need some stability

I just don't get it, we've signed better players than ever yet were getting worse. Uwe needs to play 442 imo and sign a prem quality centre mid, or even a bundesliga centre mid, or even a La liga calibre centre mid, anyone better than Mowatt, Murphy, Adeyemi which cant be hard surely?

Rosler is on record as saying he will play his way, and when asked about why he wouldn't change the system he told people to change the subject!..

As for people always questioning the midfield, is it not the system that's putting undue pressure on them?..

Change the system, the "coach" can do that, buy the Prem, La Liga, or Bundesliga calibre any sort off player, only the "bossman" can do that!..

But he can sack the coach as well!..

I wonder how much a system change has to do with the Bossmanager, not forgetting he don't like the old 442 either!..

It's a long ongoing argument, the right player's wrong system, or the wrong player's right system?..

Take your pick, it could be any one of them!..
