That's it..

...he has got to go!!! The man is useless. Playing against 9 men and he puts on another defender...he's got no idea how to play to win. How can the players have ANY confidence in his tactics?

KJ...for God's sake GO!!

Is it wrong to expect some emotion from him? Unfold his arms or something.

Could only listen on Solent last night - you could tell Whittingham was quietly fuming by the end.

KJ doesn't seem to motivate anymore and I wouldn't be surprised if he's lost the dressing room. Not playing Pitman is bonkers to me after he had a good pre-season. Signing Marquis and starting him straight away doesn't create healthy competition - it just demotivates other players. I think Jackett did the same thing when signing Pitman and making him captain from the off.

I would be more than happy if MA returned to lead us back to the Chumpionship

OTT I was there on tuesday with my Grandson (he thoroughly enjoyed the match). The idea was to have 3 at the back and push up the Full Backs to swamp the Coventry penalty area with crosses taking advantage of playing against 9 men. It did not work, so move on. No necessity to over react!

The plan was to go 5 @ the back, KJ held up one hand fingers spread pointing @ the back line. He may have said afterwards it was to go 3 @ the back but that was probably from embarrasment.
I was there with my son & a mate & we all thought it was a poor substitution that gave them the encouragement to push on & just sen us in one direction-back towards our box.
