Agree totally Dave, it was poor. I didn't get a ticket and can't say I'm too
upset by that.
I think Marsch had an impossible job in trying to reengineer the team after
Bielsa but you have to say that what he is doing is clueless. Playing with 3
wingers but yet not playing down the wings and trying to play through midfield
when we don't have one ! or should I say, we don't have a mobile one. Bielsa
got that and he wasn't fussed to buy midfielders because he created the perfect
role for Philips and all his play was down the flanks. Bate and Philips
yesterday against a dymanic, pacey Chelsea midfield was actually very
embarrassing. It was the mismatch of the century. It's clear that Philips can't
play in a free midfield, he doesn't have the pace or the creativity and Bate is
just a young lad. We've also got Raphinha hel;ping out in defence and taking
long throw-ins and Jack Harrison doesn't know what the fuck he's doing. These
tactics were supposed to make us more solid but they don't and Chelsea could
have had double figures. Who said that Marsch was the ideal replacement for
Bielsa because he plays similar - that was obviously nonsense. It's all very
depressing but I would suggest some drastic action by sacking Marsch today and
putting Jackson in for the final two games. If nothing else we might get a
reaction and also it looks like the team will have a few U-23s in on Sunday.
We're not down yet !

That was awful - no shots on target, an inability to defend or even pas the

what we were doing or trying to do , any game plan went out of the window as
we were one down immediately and any chance of a point left with Dan James
redBefore the game we were in the odd situation whereby we could get 9 pts and
go down or get one point and stay up - most of the pre match talk was that one
point would indeed be enough (personally I doubt it) but now I can’t even see
where a point is coming from, we really were that bad
We are going down - fans stayed mainly behind the team with defiant chants
ringing out but a lot left before the final whistle.
Total shambles
Need to win on Sunday but how ???
Very disgruntled
Dave
