Didn’t look like lack of effort from the majority of players today. Dykes his usual ineffective self aside, Lowe looked like the only one who wasn’t having a go. What we have at the club is the perfect storm. Onto our third manager, all our creative players out injured and the rest have next to no confidence. Plenty of booing from R and S block, apart from when Sinclair came over the end. Not sure why Stef was booed, he at least bought a bit of composure to our performance. But fuck me, hitting that free kick too long near the end was criminal.

With Ainsworth have we got our Rangers back? Or do we only get that when we get relegated?

As for the manager I feel for him. He's been dealt a shit hand. Club in freefall, atrocious form prior to him coming, injuries galore, gutless cunt players. On a hiding to nothing and only a miracle will keep us up if form is anything to go by.

Pretty much all of the booing at full time in S block was for the team. Including Stef. It turned to cheers for Armstrong and Ainsworth. So Ainsworth really needs be aware that the gutless tools will taint him sooner rather than later. People, bar the handful of fools clapping, really have had enough of this shit.

No change next year as we will recruit the same kind of gutless sick note players while the D.O.F and recruitment team are still in place.

We will lose Chair, Willock, Dieng and others and replace them with shit as we're skint.

Summed up by the combined total apperances of 20 games by JCS and Balogan. Critchley never had either of these pair in JCS case we are lumbered with that fucker for 3 more years another bit of quality work from the genius that is Les Ferdinand.

Critchley was uninspiring but been trying to think over the games. Ainsworth has won 1 of first 5 and I’d say we’ve played quite a few poor sides.
Critchley won 1 and drew 3 of this first 5. This included Sheffield United draw in last minute. Also, looking at games he lost after that, it includes Sunderland and Middlesbrough away. Millwall at home. The Sunderland game had a missed penalty from us at 1-0 down. We played some good sides. I wanted him out at the time too but when I look now, I think we’ve made a massive mistake. I’d rather he built a side up than Ainsworth.

I think with time could have been steady pair of hands. Given results could see why he went but there has been no improvement at all last three managers. Downwards spiral and can’t see it changing rest of this season.

Critchley was sacked because of outing the players ‘twice’ and them ‘hating’ him for it. Ainsworth has also lost the players because they don’t believe in his cave man tactics.

Well the common denominator there is the players. If they really are underperforming due to not agreeing with tactics then they really should fuck off. Personally I don’t think that’s the case. Willock virtually carried this team and without him, Chair et al, all Ainsworth can do is use what he has at his disposal. A team devoid of confidence, devoid of creativity and in the case of a few, devoid of desire.

Easy to blame managers but you simply cannot overlook how much shit is on the pitch week in week out.
Cannot wait to say goodbye to quite a few of these pricks.

What exactly is his style? I still can't really tell. I guess we saw the closest thing to it vs Watford. But suppose we can't really know for sure until he's got at least a semblance of our best players fit and available again - particularly with all our flair players out.

Wycombe played busy, no frills football but I wouldn’t say it was route one. Wasn’t pretty but high tempo. Not a lot of class football.

Pretty football is not something I think we need to wory about, getting those points is the main worry. Though I do understand that we supposedly have "ballers" in the club and they might not be able to cope with a different style...

My frustration saturday sparks was it was not just direct football it felt long ball with no plan to it. If we pick up results between now and end of season I’m fine with it but it never looked that threatening. Long ball is fine if the player hitting the ball does it accurately and the player receiving the ball either holds it up and lays it off or shoots / heads on target with it. Again though, it all comes with the caveat that we're currently playing with a 1/4 - 1/2 of an available squad. And those that have been out long-term just happen to be the squad's best players. None of this therefore is GA's fault because it is the situation he's inherited since the day he arrived. Is there a systemic problem at the club regarding the coaches, sports scientists, physios etc? Yes, probably, just like there are in the rest of the club's various departments. But again, not Gareth's fault because that is the complete mess of a club that he's walked into.

Let’s see what he does with Chair and Willock - if Willock plays again this season.

I find it strange that GA is already being questioned given what he inherited.
Here is a pile of shit... Turn it into gold... We need Rumplestiltskin as our next manager.

Lovely bloke, Rs ledge, but lets have it right. It was a poor appointment, almost no form at this level or above.
I've run out of patience with people saying we couldn't have had a look at (say) Lage or Dyche on a short term options open deal. Look at the clubs who have circumvented FFP via inter company waivers etc etc. That's how you manage the dosh. Plus, the GRFC Beale pay off could have been earmarked without touching FFP.
It'll cost them more if we go down and scare off any potential investors. Plus they tied Thing in for like 3.5 years. Are they really so stupid or is there another game in town?

Let us face it, Gareth is a League One manager. Just like JFH. We shall not expect too much from him.

Those 'ballers' have been dog $hit since October under 3 diff managers.

Little bit of uproar online as appears players have been given time off during break.
Good or bad move? They have been shite for months so perhaps them getting away with families in sun might invigorate them and be positive.

Good I’d say. A bit of downtime is part of good man management - depends on the individual how they react. And that could tell Ainsworth a lot.

With Ainsworth have we got our Rangers back? Or do we only get that when we get relegated? I went to my first game when we were in Division 3 South. So Yes!!
The last time we were in Division 3 South was 1958. You must be challenging Bill for the role of RFI elder!
What's happened to Bill, by the way, haven't seen him posting recently.
