How poor was that? Only good thing about today's result is that it puts Poopy back in the relegation places.

Not one positive out of today. I said all along the Board should have waited until after the Christmas period before appointing Tonda.

I’m pretty sure had they waited, given recent performances, they wouldn’t consider him now. He is totally out of his depth as were those who went before him.

He’s 32 for goodness sake - did they really think he possesses the leadership skills to kick arse and deal with a dressing room full of spoilt brat underachievers?

To do well in this league you must do the basics right and have a bit of quality. We’ve got pockets of quality but we never seem to get the basics right through 90+ minutes (how many clean sheets) .

Very disappointed with the performance. No plan B or c just same old same old. I predicted teams would sit back closer to their 18 yard lines and that is exactly what has happened in recent games. I’m not a professional coach so why can I see it but Eckhert can’t?
Eckhert needs to change formations to deal with opponents and not just rely on the same shape/ tactic every week. We desperately need a proper centre forward and Charles back. Oriel looks like his legs have gone but will be invaluable in motivating the young squad.
Please please go 4-2-2-2 AA cannot be left up front by himself. I’m not worried about pressing for promotion this season but next is a must!

The problem with playing around with the ball at the back in an attempt to draw your opponent out, is that if your opponent sits deep and doesn’t fall for the game plan, you have to change your game plan!
There is some irony to the fact we were caught out more times by them…
We are not playing the ball quick enough from defence to attack, we are not moving the ball through midfield quick enough. If you are playing a team that is clearly not as good as or as skilful as your own team, then you have to play to your strength…
Are playing around with it at the back yesterday was bordering on suicide at times. We were passing across players that were in dangerous positions, not just cross them but within feet of them. As we found out, all it takes is a fractionally inaccurate pass or a quick interception we are in trouble.
Get the ball up the pitch play through the midfield, get it to the winger, get people in the box and score goals!

As for playing romeu, he is not a player that you bring later on to change the dynamics of a game. Is someone you bring on when you were winning to one with 10 minutes to go to protect your defence.
Having said that his decision making when tackling is still very suspect.
Is he emotionally strengthening the team? I’m not sure.
