None as bad as that and a number of other games this season.
You still giving us a chance of Europe?!

You can go back more than 4 weeks. We’ve been so poor for 6 months.
Yes. Adingra is a useful backup but overhyped (not by NSC)since AFCON,and not in the same class as March, not right now anyhow.

I think I want a coach who has a bit of flexibility.
I'm not sure I like this dogmatic, my way or the highway approach. Might work at the biggest clubs but its not sustainable at a club like ours. There's been games recently where we just haven't been set up properly and a more pragmatic but flexible approach would likely have resulted in better results.
I love RDZ, his passion, the way he's increased the clubs profile externally and belief internally, but I do think we might be better off with someone a little less nuts.

I would love to know what’s going on in Uncle Tony’s head. There’s obviously been much talk of RDZ feeling he’s not been supported as much as he’d like in terms of squad development but it’s possible Bloom is looking on and thinking he’s getting a poor return on his investment.
I don’t reckon he actually is but it would be a feasible viewpoint given the way this season has fallen off a cliff since we were knocked out of the FA Cup. I can’t help but recall Hughton being shown the door once the season was done. We've never been close to the drop zone but current form is in that neck of the woods.
Hopefully nothing that a meeting of minds, some squad restructuring and a summer reset can’t fix. Tony has built strong foundations based on stability rather than issuing the perennial heave ho!

Adingra was never meant to play this much in his first season, when we didn’t keep hold of JS in January was insane.
Not sure about that - if Burnley had a half decent goal scorer we would have lost 3-1 and deserved to lose.

well, if the ball coach is indeed dead then that may explain why we’re not doing very well with corners

Absolutely insane. Wonder who made that call?

We had worse games under Potter, Europe was finished when Mitoma got injured. It’s not that he’s just a threat himself he drags three players out of position freeing up space.

But I don’t think he is being particularly dogmatic at the moment. In fact I would say it’s the opposite. We have no identity or direction currently, we’re rudderless, just drifting from game to game with no obvious plan or decent passages of play.

Can’t see where the next 3 points is coming from, the creativity has been ripped out of the team by injuries and half fit players
Maybe They're scared.
The Burnley Keeper looked like Mitrovics' unhinged little brother.

Yeah I get what you're saying.
I think I mean dogmatic in the sense that he is so tied to one idea he literally doesn't know what he's doing right now. He doesn't have the players to play his style of football so he's kinda gone into paralysis.
Whereas some managers would be "who's fit, where do they play, what's the best tactic for these players", fire them up, send them out. I'm certain we'd be getting better results right now with most managers in the league.
