It’s the hope that kills you

We'll be ok then, there's no hope here!

 

[Mark barnett]

Just gave up after about 55 minutes where's the fight we will need.

 

[Librarian]

Who's gonna sack him?

& yet there’s talk of a new contract for him, equally, who is going to sanction that?

 

[jazzy]

Sometimes I just despise Everton

 

[matty1878]

Thoroughly expected defeat.

i thought we’d win

silly silly me

nobody

Holgate and Keane - I just despair at their selection.

I don't want to hear about their experience and Dyche trusting them as senior professionals. They have failed, time after time after time and we have to take a chance on the under 23s.

Where the flip are Branthwaite and O'Brien - what are we saving them for?

Especially after they come out and make a point of saying var isn't supposed to get involved unless it's a clear and obvious error....

1-1 and it's a different game

Fire Young, Doucs, Keane and Young (again, just to be sure) into the sun, give Illiman and Linds a start and it's a different game.

OK we probably owe our continued existence to Doucs for that goal, but nobody is undroppable.

Rightly or wrongly - that was the point where everything went downhill. A few minutes later, Gana made that mistake that lead to their second goal and game over.

Really, really poor once again. Feel fed up of seeing the same old same old from this club just constantly..

 

[Huyton Layne]

It wasn't a pen though.

He'd given a pen. He can't overturn it without seeing it again. He can only get advice to review it from the VAR clowns. If VAR doesn't work then the decision should stand.

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's the same old problem with pre season too. Getting smashed by Coventry. Unable to beat Sligo. People say it doesn't matter but it does matter and its a total lack of application and professionalism.

We are never ready for the new season. We don't take pre season seriously. Our recruitment is consistently absurd. Our manager refuses to even pick new players anyway. And our players don't look up for the match.

It's the same old problem and it applies to many other walks of life

Fail to prepare
Prepare to fail

Today is an embarrassment and unacceptable.

 

[James Roberts]

if there was someone running this club surely its moyes time?

 

[blue1948]

Why can he not see what we see ? It is not the goalscorer's fault we have no supply to whoever is unlucky enough to be put up front .Dukes ,Dwight and Harrison should hang their heads in shame .Theyare stealing a living .

 

[ValBlue]

Let’s be honest we all knew what was going to happen as soon as the team sheet was revealed. We all knew the players who would let us down today and we’ve been justified resoundingly. What is the point of getting new players in if you’re not going to play them. I’ve always defended Dyche but if this is a dose of what’s to come then I’m finally with the nay-sayers. Southgate coded. Risk averse, cautious, refuses to make proactive substitutions.

 

[Neiler]

Players want a boot up theere backsides, h

but mate dyche supposedly has them dyche fit

you don’t just give up when your behind

we concede and the games over

you sign players you need..

and the ginger ted doesn’t use them

Agree with that mate, heads dropped - thats not acceptable.

Huge difference in the effort posted first and second half.
