After the Fulham game, I can't believe there are none of the usual posts, from 'the angry brigade.'
So allow me to chip in with my twopennorth.....
after defending the Breadman all season, I have finally gone over to The Dark Side.
I agree with our Evil Emperor* & his young apprentice** that:-
1) we can't defend
2) we cant score
3) Warburton Must Go.

Steve it’s good to see that you have seen the light and joined the Dark Side
I think we’ve been ground down by the relentless doom perpetrated by the bread man. He’s turned it into an art form now and his post match comments are getting more bizarre every game.
To replace our only creative player that is fit and one of our best defenders for squad reasons sums him up….clueless.
The team are on a hiding to nothing now as if we by some mighty fluke actually win a game despite Bread Man we will be wondering why it was not possible so many games ago when we had everything to play for.

True; and this has been a common problem for a long time now.
Against lesser teams than Fulham.
1st half, we allowed them 4 easy shots, and they scored on the 3rd.
And there could have been a penalty awarded against us, 1st half-
shirt pulling in the box.
It true and I said so at the time the first 16 months of Warburton in charge was a disaster and the defensive shambles that went with it. Some clubs would have sacked him back then.
Thereafter to be fair up to the end of Feb 2022 there was a big improvement and hopes were raised of a top six place which sadly have now been destroyed.
Our manager all along has never been that bothered with a proper defensive strategy(its in his DNA I tell you) and recently poor signings and some crazy team selections have done for us.
I reckon we will finish in a lower league position than last season
I think the fact that we have lost three times to the bottom club in the league speaks volumes. This is a truly awful fact for a team that was in such a strong position at one time. No manager should allow just one defeat to the bottom club let alone three. Does he not look back at games?
As far as our defence is concerned the signs of our vulnerability to fast attacking sides were clear to see early in the season. Our ponderous back three were exposed time after time usually involving our wingbacks being on the halfway line watching it all unfolding.
The never ending faffing about at the back just invites teams to press us but the man is not for telling.
It’s no wonder we don’t have many shots on target the ball rarely gets that far forward.
