As much as I don't like Reach - I don't know if I prefer him ahead of CT. It's the very definition or rock and hard place.

Reach on 25k per week is out of contract though in a few weeks. If we can't find better value for money at half the price then i give up.

Thrashed

Completely dreadful team selection from CC. Literally have no idea what he was thinking.

NO strikers, no goals, no points. Let's stick with it though till the game has gone.

Just an horrendous day for Carlos and the players.

COME ON IPSWICH!

Never questioned CC so far.

He got everything he could today competently wrong.

You can’t play this cautious against teams who are going for it. It was just error after error.

Embarrassing.

Yes, I truly believe we had by far the best players but we showed no heart. Not good enough from our players or coaches.

There was absolutely nothing positive for us to take from that game.

Outfought, outplayed and looked as if we had lead in our boots. Wednesday thoroughly deserved the win, and by the margin they achieved.

Assuming we qualify (and I still think we will), the play-offs are a separate thing altogether. Obviously we’d need to be hugely better, but once the season’s over and it’s into a three game competition everyone will have forgotten a rotten day at Hillsborough.

But we were utter rubbish today. And that’s being diplomatic and polite about it.

Really bad day. I don't think anyone came out of that game with any positive comments. Wrong set up, changed it too late, players who think they've already got their spot in the play offs, combines for us to lose 3-0 for the first time under Carlos.

The defence were shocking today. M'Vila and Phillips should have been hooked at half time. It's worrying that Maja has been back now and he still doesn't get minutes on the pitch. I feel like we have a decent 'middle of the pitch' team - it's just at the extreme ends of the pitch we're really poor.

Sheff Wed were excellent and out played us all over the pitch. Deserved their win.

Should still have enough with Ipswich needing a win against Hull but I wouldn't want to go into the last game of the season needing 3 pts, that's for sure. Just get us over the line and then we can re-evaluate for the play offs.

I was unable to watch the game today but I did have a horrible feeling about it in advance.

Glad I couldn't see it, sounds like high farce.

We need some big changes in the squad this summer. First time I've doubted Carlos too.

richjonawba · « **Reply #285 on:** April 27, 2024, 05:06:55 PM »

Awful team selections abound

Fellowes and Mowatt have to start

At this point Reach should be starting over Townsend as the latter is very poor and he simply can’t put in anything approaching a decent cross

Only Johnstone comes out of that with any credit - played very well I thought

staticboy · « **Reply #286 on:** April 27, 2024, 05:12:07 PM »

Simply put I would get rid of most of the squad and Yokuslu, overplays way too much and gets himself into too much trouble. We were way below par and I thought this would happen today as we have too many players who think they are better than they really are. We should have had Fellows on from the start, M'Villa isn't gooed enough, Townsend is not good enough, Diagnana, loses the ball too much, I could go on but think we all probably feel the same.

I would go as far as fining the lot of them for letting down the fans.

Even if we get through we will not stand a chance of winning the play offs.

caravanc58 · « **Reply #287 on:** April 27, 2024, 05:20:02 PM »

It's not today that's put us in a precarious place it's the last 2 months, apart from the Leicester match it's been boring and negative. Our current form is only slightly better than Rotherhams.
Fellows created more than Phillips and Diangana combined yet will most likely be a sub again next week and what has M'vila done who's been dreadful to get ahead of Chalobah?
If anyone can throw away this it's in our DNA.

The Black Pearl · « **Reply #288 on:** April 27, 2024, 05:38:37 PM »

Some serious over reactions here, when we're the better side v the Leicester only a few days ago, bad day at the office from everyone including the manager.

CL3MO · « **Reply #289 on:** April 27, 2024, 05:55:14 PM »

Pffffffffffftt, where do you start with that? Fair play to Wednesday; they fully deserved the three points.

First, the team selection just seemed odd from the get go. To start Phillips and M'Vila in a fast and furious game, with both of them playing such little football and not being 100% fit was a risk - and it backfired. For that - and the fact that he made 4 subs quickly, recognising this - Corberan has to take responsibility.

We are so, so poor in both boxes atm: brittle in our own (needing to score 3/4 to win a game in recent weeks) and utterly tepid in the opposition's is a sign of a team in big trouble.

Yet again, when this team is put in a crunch game, every single time, without fail, they wilt. I just wish I'd remember to put money on us to lose in these big end-of-season games because we are oh so predictable.

Play offs or no play offs, we look an appalling football team at the moment.

I wouldent say over reaction ,we’ve been poor for the last 2 months

Just glad that Hull have to play 2 teams with everything to play for, Automatic promotion for Ipswich and a win to stay up for Plymouth.

Baggie79 · « **Reply #292 on:** April 27, 2024, 06:19:21 PM »

Wow we have some seriously fickle fans, it's embarrassing.

KN22 · « **Reply #293 on:** April 27, 2024, 06:28:24 PM »

Got what we deserved from the game today, nothing. Was surprised he dropped Mowatt but wouldn’t say he got all selections wrong. Why not start with a striker? Let’s see…. BTA, not nearly good enough. Weimann, not a centre forward and never has been. Maja, not ready to start, even by his own admission.
Played a hungrier and more energetic team. The crippling lack of cash for signings over last two years coming home to roost.

That’s part of the problem
The manager has shown time and again who he prefers
Townsend will always start despite being awful
Fellows always has to make way for Wallace/doangana/Phillips regardless of form

A bad day but thankfully for weeks other teams have been throwing it too,.

Didn't watch won't let this result get me. The mighty Darlo won today meaning I'm travelling to Lichfield next week. But it sounds like we were poor today. But to he honest Wednesday are battling for safety these results always happen and as it stands Blues are down

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #296 on:** April 27, 2024, 07:25:01 PM »

Really poor from start to finish (which ironically we can't do!)
Wednesday up for it and we looked like a team that thinks it's already got a play off spot.
Phillips clearly isn't fit so why start him? He is just so static.
M'Vila was really poor too.
Oh well we might scrape 6th.

So you keep saying (ad nauseam). He keeps being picked because he is the best in his position that we have. Simple as that.

Blowee · « **Reply #298 on:** April 27, 2024, 07:36:04 PM »

On reflection I’m just very disappointed again after this afternoons performance. I’ve no issues with our effort at Leicester last week but both Sunderland and Sheffield have beaten us because of sheer determination to win. I don’t know why but our players are just not up for a battle. It must be a lack of character and leadership.

zac · « **Reply #299 on:** April 27, 2024, 08:17:44 PM »

I left just after the 3rd goal went in. Not one of them today were any good but special mentions to YM and CT who were terrible. I'm not at panic mode just yet (depending on what happens in this Hull game) but even if we do limp into the play offs i'm not expecting us to go to Leeds or Ipswich and compete after that.
