    As a manager myself, I’ve always found the best way of man management is to give leeway to an extent as long as the lads know where the is drawn. Also put an arm round them when they need it, and don’t make a song and dance when a mistake is made - especially in front of the rest of the employees. It doesn’t do anything for anyone, except damage the morale. We’re all human and make mistakes, anyone who says otherwise doesn’t do any work. That said, they have to demonstrate that they have learned from their errors. If you keep having to gently tell them about the same thing over and over, well that is when you have to have a serious conversation with them

    GA has been over protective of these players from day dot, enough is enough. It is about time he publicly lambasted them, clearly nothing else has worked has it? It is his & Luckettis reputation on the line too remember. I admit his selections and tactics are somewhat baffling at times, however he is probably as devastated as the rest of us that this bunch of mercenaries are tarnishing the name he’s built for himself

    Ridehalgh and Okey Cokey shouldn't be anywhere near the team bus never mind on the pitch
    Smallwood and McDonald together a disaster waiting to happen
    Lone furrow in the opposition area again for Cookie
    Pointon on the bench is a very slight improvement
    Looks like we are going for a 0-0

    Probably isn't one, just get everyone behind the ball and hope for a 'nil' .....

    Oyegoke is so bad. How can a lad from a premier league academy be so bad

    Thing is… this is Hughes team, he knew how to play them, injuries cost him his job.. Alexander has absolutely no idea… Sparks is a dick

    Both Rupp and Sparks got deserved chants, don’t like players getting ironic cheers when getting subbed off though it helps nothing.

    No one knows how to head a ball. No idea how to pass. No leadership we are bereft of any idea how to play a game of football.

    Shudda just kept Hughes and let his contract run out. He may have even turned it round. Instead we paid off 9 months and will probably have to pay off 2 years for GA at this rate.

    Hindsight a wonderful thing mind.

    The arse has dropped out the team mate and confidence is rock bottom and a manager that appears unable to lift them, this dosent bode well for the future

    I seriously wonder how many ST’s we have sold. Club hierarchy must look at the figures and be very worried.

    Can’t wait to hear what GA has to say about that. Rayner should ask if he has lost the dressing room as it looks just like that to me.

    Rupp is literally letting the ship sail towards the iceberg, insane really as he's losing money off his investment at an alarming rate. He has no interest in this football club doing well, if he did he wouldn't have employed Sparks as CEO.
