This is turning out to be a very sad year for Yorkshire in the Championship.
2-0 down.

Dross. Get offside Clyde off the pitch. Take rudoni with him. Koroma not covering himself in glory either especially when a lot of fans have clamoured for him

Clueless. Hopeless. Pointless.

Problem isn't the manager, never has been, problem is the players.
Pearson not good enough at this level, Hogg passed it, rudoni shocking again, not the golden boy the club make him out to be. Burgzorg woeful who only plays when he wants. Koroma a one trick pony who gets found wanting against decent teams. Headley not a defender, Warnock had it right with him, playing him higher up.
Away from the squad, ward, lees, ruffles, turton all league one at best. this is why we are where we are.
Corberan worked a miracle getting a better squad in the playoffs. Warnock worked a miracle keeping a similar side up last season. We need to stop hoping for miracles, eventually the bill comes due and it looks like that is now. If we do have one more in us, then the whole ethos has to change, the whole squad needs rebuilding, not just rejuvenating, can be no more patting ourselves on the back for getting a deal for someone like Wiles over the line, we're talking £10,12,15mil+ on 4/5 players plus the frees and loans, no more just being happy being a part of it all

We looked ten times better when he brought Spencer, Jones and Healey on. Even Radulovic looked ok for once.
But was that because Coventry had gone down to second gear? If they had, that was evident in our goal. Shocking mistake from their defence, but it just goes to show if we play with some aggression, it comes off. The rest of the time, and for far too many seasons now, we are slow, slow, slow all the bloody time.
Twice in the first half, we got good chances in and around their box, but there's nobody in there. Matos beats his man, looks up. Nobody there. So he has to turn around and beat his man again before somebody arrives. Gets the foul on the edge of the box. Free kick. Just blast it from there and get a deflection into the net. No. Let's float one in and hope for the best. Rubbish!
Koroma in for a one on one. Did anybody think he would score? Was anybody around for the cut back? Nah!
Great effort from Kasumu, hitting the post. But Rudoni should've buried the one he hit the crossbar with. Another disappointing day at the John Smith's.
The next two games are now MUST WIN games. Lose at Stoke and that's another side out of sight. Unbelievably, we're still in with touching distance of safety. It's in our own hands.

3 bloody hours putting up with dickheads that only drive on the M6, M56 (I gave up with the M6 after Knutsford, I should have got off at Knutsford), M60 and M62 on Bank Holidays. How do these clowns get let alone keep a driving license? They stop to change lanes?!?!?
Anyway after 3 hours of that I was looking forward to not doing hospital visits for the first time in 2 weeks. Yesterday they discovered COVID on the ward. I should have stayed down there and visited again today. It would have been as much fun. How do we keep finding managers/coaches that take us one step forward and three back? Even though I was in Canada at the time, so rarely saw him, is Offside Clyde coaching Burgzorg? He might as well have been sat where I am in Row Z and Town had me on the pitch. I can't run any further than a swift jog across the road. I won't be in a position to score but I won't be stood offside for an hour either, so it amounts to the same thing. He must have cost Town over a dozen attacking chances, not that we can score in a Dutch Red Light district when we get one.
RE: Easter double header - Cov (h) & Stoke (a) - Lord Snooty - 29-03-2024
Burgzorg offside at least ten times. No reaction from Breitenreiter.
Healey offside once. He's turning around to the other coaches and gesturing.
And that was the only emotion he showed all game. (Well that I saw)

Started off ok yesterday and then went 2 down and the players looked like they’d given up, the body language was terrible.
Around us after 25 minutes we were saying AB needed to change things but did he..no. Did he change it half time…no. Surely he can see what we can see.
We were poor, very poor. Things have to change and change quickly because we are sinking rapidly. Play forwards as forwards and wingers as wingers would be a good start.
