Sara looks ok. Game passing Nunez by once again.

Really? Sara just runs about.

[dylanisabaddog 5,062]

Although there was nothing much wrong with the Gibbs tackle it would make sense to get him off at half time. He's an accident waiting to happen 

[Fuzzar 1,705]

Really disappointing to go from the Champagne football we played under Farke to this. 

Disjointed, with no playing pattern. 

[Michael Starr 523]

I think this proves that the issues are not just coaching based but player based also. Some of these players look shot.

I'd say some clearly don't want to be there . 

[dylanisabaddog 5,062]

Have we had a shot on target? 

Truly awful 

[unique 445]

It is painful to watch.

There can’t be many worse teams in the Championship right now.

[alex_ncfc 667]

The reality is we have a poor squad. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. You can't compare it to the Farke Champs winning squads, we had better players and more importantly, a better manager and coaching staff.

We will be nowhere near promotion this season, I can see a 12th place finish at this rate.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,092]

We had a one off in Farke. We won't see his like at the helm ever again.

 

[pete 322]

Lots wil get their wish so many contracts up in summer

[Spillay 180]

Another desperately poor half. I think we just have to accept that this is nowhere near "the best squad/team in the Championship" cant even blame Smith for that now, bereft of confidence and ability to do the basic things well. Watford despite all their injuries look way more threatening.

Rather than worrying about not finishing in the top 6 we should be concentrating on not being in the bottom 3

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

Am I the only one who doesn’t think we’ve been too bad, we’re missing someone to play that killer ball. But there’s been some promise coming forwards. 

Nunez has had a few chances to play a buendia style pass through to Pukki and has nearly always chosen the wrong option. I’m sure he was making those passes earlier in the season.

We are looking very shaky at the back though, Gibson is an absolutely bus isn’t he?

[cambridgeshire canary 6,876]

Watfords C team with 11 players injured and centrebacks playing in the middle and they are tearing us open.

Clearly it's all dean smiths fault we are bad huh?

Summer rebuild required. I just can't see how we can go up... and even if we luck our way up... next season dear god!

[Foxy2600 308]

Nunez is missing 

[Richard Richard 186]

Absolutely nothing in the middle of the park, no-one showing for the ball.

Sara's barely touched the ball. Trouble is, no-one on the bench to change things either....

[ged in the onion bag 875]

I did say the problem was quality at the start of the season!    We are way off what the expectation is!!!!!     Time to reassess your expectations if it’s promotion!    Applies to the club as well as the fans….. if Webber is interviewing and the brief is promotion the the candidates have an impossible task…. If they achieve promotion, then his job becomes a definite impossible task!

It could be worse...

Dean Smith could still be employed at our club 

[Yellow Wal 314]

How many more South Americans has Webber got to sign before he finds another Emi because the latest two are a long way off.

[lake district canary 4,562]

It's football, but not as we know it.

Playing three strikers and no shots on target suggests the team set up might be wrong.

Nunez isolated so being given too much to do, Sara ok, but these players need more help.  Sargent is back to looking inept again, Idah is looking bright, but the three of them up front is not working. Better one of them and a bit more in midfield providing a bit of quality.

The way it's going Watford will win this comfortably - changes needed at half time.

Need a proper manager and soon.

Unfortunately he’s also probably been our best player. 

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

If it wasn't for Gibbs and Idah, nobody else would have contributed so far.

[percy varco 203]

We look unfit uninterested and unsure of what we are trying to do. 
Too many times we have 2 players in the same square yard getting in each others way. 
New manager cannot be here quick enough. 

[KiwiScot 1,491]

Bad as the play is sounding it should be enjoyed to be watching Pukki while he is still here.

[ged in the onion bag 875]

Cantwell for Sargent please, please, please!!!!

[pete 322]

Don't need new coach/manager need miracle worker.  Webbers next project

Gunn hasn't done anything wrong. McCallum has done OK to imo, would just like him to take on Ngakia, with him being on a yellow from the third minute.

Falling over most of the time.

[ged in the onion bag 875]

This could be Pukki’s last game, just saying!   Wonder what he’s thinking?
