You gotta be thinking summatt ain't right with 4 reds in 4 games surely ?

I'm just starting to think Slade is the shadow of the manager he was since he was last here ..

I mean cup nights were Slade nights but tonight just nowt , I seriously think the poor bloke is mentally shot from having been sacked from about 20 different clubs.

He has no confidence in himself hence the one striker he now plays with ,I mean would our old Russ play one striker at home ? I know football moves on but I just don't think Russ has.

Btw this is not a dig as I like Slade as a person he comes across to have time with the fans and the media but come on Russ you have certainly bought in some excrement to the club this season players wise and your dinosaur tactics won't work in 2017.

I don't think the players we have available is helping. It's becoming quickly apparent our squad is severely lacking in quality. Beyond Dembele (and maybe McKeown & Collins) there's not one player who can claim to have had a decent start to the season. We're relying on far too many players who we already know are utter dross, and now it seems half of them are incapable of staying on the pitch for 90 minutes. There's no comparison to the players we had in Slade's last team - Bolland, Rob Jones, Gary Jones, Mildenhall, Reddy, Cohen, Whittle, McDermott etc. all miles superior to what we have now.

Tbh i dont think we've been that bad tonight. Just dont look like scoring ever

Do you think when Russ said he has "unfinished business" he meant it  but this time to completely fvck us over ?

Any managers out there who want a job for Christmas ?

As far as Davies getting sent off, no idea what the first yellow was for.
And I thought he got the ball when given the second.
Shocking ref.

FFS WTF is going on this must be a record it's hard enough with eleven players on the field our defence is old and stale hence desperation is evident not good.

3033 attendance with 850+ from Derby. Interesting. Think there'll be less than that on Saturday.

I think it's quite obvious from the way the summer panned out that he was hoping for other targets to sign and missed the vast majority of them. However, as a manager you have to expect that and have a reasonable 2nd, 3rd, even 4th and 5th target and we just haven't brought in anyone with any quality. I also think we were looking to get players in that played differently to the ones we've got and he's struggling to adapt the side. For example, both Tyler Walker and Nicky Maynard who we were supposedly after play very differently to Hooper who seems very reluctant to make channel runs. This isn't making excuses for RS btw, he's the one who signed the players and once you've signed them you have to work out how to get the best out of your team.

Just groaned when I remembered I have a season ticket. Suppose i'll be able to pick up tickets for Mansfield away on Saturday at least.
