It’s getting so you can write the same match report every week. Strange selections, no width, no proper fullbacks, a propensity to try and play everything down the middle, a lack of communication between the players and and a complete lack of organisation at the back, to which we have now added conceding a late winning goal. The players are arguing amongst themselves (witness Gerrard having a real go at Ince for not coming to collect a ball he would never actually have got to). In the middle of all that, on the rare occasions we got some decent possession to the strikers, we looked threatening, giving Mullen the excuse to come out with the post match comments about playing well, when we clearly were not. What’s worse, we have some promising youngsters who are thrown into the deep end of this shambles and will be having their confidence shattered.

Whatever the arguments about the Chairman’s part in all of this, this season is slowly turning into a OBC (Over Before Christmas) and the Manager is worsening that position. Sorry, but he’s got to go.
