Not one poster moaned at him keeping the same team, Holgate being a needed stand in, from a fabulous performance last week.

We go 2 1 up with a sound goal from his subs. We look set fine for a welcome away win, after being the better side. Then VAR, which everyone other than Chris Sutton says was a ridiculous decision, pipes up.

why would they? You stick with a winning team.

what point are you actually making here? You saying people are wrong for wanting to throw the towel in with this manager who is stinking the house out?

The team are just so soft mentally under him.

The decision is a compete disgrace. But we capitulated after it. Good players channel the frustration into effecting the outcome. But ours gave up. It's not acceptable.

We've been mentally frigid for quite some time mate.

I feel like we are so far from getting a run together. If you can't win an away game then your whole season is going to be stop start. Throw in the fact we still have the big 6 to play home and away (as well as Leicester) and there are plenty of reasons to be depressed.

Served badly in the summer by Brands; suffering with a load of injuries.

There are valid excuses.

We need to see how the players react in the next two games. For me, we have t win both. If not, he';s on thin ice. That's just the way it is with fans: they forget about the hand he was dealt this summer.

Yes

But it's much worse than before.

It used to be we were overawed by going to the big teams. We could never get the big away win. Now we are completely rattled every time we go away. Even to lower league teams in the cups. There's no grit or determination. Too many who hide when it's tough.

It's just little things too often though, it's not just bad luck.

Point I am making is that if that game finished 1 2, this place would be different. And on the pitch, he done ok, like he did last week.

But it finish 3 v 2.

Ok, now I've had a chance to calm down and look at things with a bit of perspective, and look at the disgusting VAR decision, Silva still needs to be sacked ASAP.

I don't think so mate. I've seen us fall apart so many time since Martinez' first season, that I'm beginning to think it's something more core to what's happening behind the scenes.
