    They seem to be better coached and know their jobs well, even though we have the better players. Hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard.

    If the huns had played as badly as we did at home and we only beat them by 2-0 I'd be * raging.

    We were absolute dross today and got what we deserved .. * all

    Losing is one thing but not being up for the game is unforgivable.

    Bored, sober and stuck in rural thailand in the * rain. What a lousy saturday

    :(

    You’re the one kidding yourself, mate. Board shouldn’t have hired Lenny but that was 18 * months ago.

    Deal with the here and now: not a single one of our fans that I know would have made the ridiculous decisions he did today.

    I keep saying this and said it that much I'm tired of it......but we always * it with them.

    We let them bully us[/QUOTE]

    Been saying the same for well over a year now...you could see it happening way back then.

    The worrying aspect is ....they look a far better team than we are...far more cohesive and playing for each other...never mind stronger.

    I thought Brownie played well today and the new left back is definitely a player.

    Unfortunately with Lenny at the helm it won't make any difference...Gerrard has him in his pocket.

    Look here we didn't have our starting backs, Christie out, none of our usual strike force.

    This will be the driving force for us to change and get into gear now.

    Griff deserves a start now

    We know how they set up too. They’ve done the same thing for a couple of seasons now.

    Im sorry mate, if you believe they played at their best today you are deluded. We need to see real change and to be fair ro the majority of the supporters, after some of what they have seen so far this season, or even lack of what they have seen, its no surprise if many begin to lose the faith.

    its far from good enough and if things continue as is, we wont see 10.

    Team came undone. Manager wont get a lot of sympathy but the circumstances weren’t favourable- that being said its not the first time we’ve looked like this, not by a long shot. Being a weakened team playing against a team thats fully at it and understands our game very well. Its a fixture of fine margins at the best of times. People really need to put the past behind them, we aren’t playing against a team of huddies anymore and their manager isn’t some chicken salesman. Don't think there was much that could have pulled the wool over their eyes today in all honesty. Lennon went for shape and that was a risk that hasn’t paid of- we looked like he hadn't trained together more than once, lacked fluidity, precision, awareness, all of the above and thats frustrating and all too common- its not good enough in high pressure games and the coaches are due a lot of criticism. If the players aren’t up for it then I dont know what could possibly motivate them and thats extremely disappointing. The only comfort today is that nothing has been lost today apart from pride and points can be recouped over the season if we get our backs up immediately which is the only way forward. The only way the coaching staff would be in any danger of being punted is if we go on and lose a run of games from here, which I don't expect at all.

    That was painful.........lenny has a massive job turning this around.Difficult to understand why we were so poor against them today.

    Sad thing is it wasnt a big shock,we all know how bad we have been lately and there seems to be nothing done to fix it.

    I would say Brown was the only midfielder who came close to turning up today.

    Calmac stater brightly but was an empty jersey in the second half. Ntcham was horrendous. Honestly, what some of our fans see in him I’ll never know.

    Thing is when we are on form we are a joy to watch.

    But this season?
    11 league games in and still packing spark and cohesion?

    Is not sitting well with greengrocer.

    (Yes 3rd person ramblings. I'm a bit edgy due to morelos dropping off a wee bag to me en route to paradise).

    Does slippy get to keep Lennon as that's the last three Derby games we have been shocking ok we won one but * me the team selection and tactics are * shocking and again failing to change it at half time when it was needed .
    They can't be no more slip ups and slippy seems to have the upper hand over Lennon and he's got bang average players and that's even more annoying and not to have a shot on * target in 90 mins is unacceptable .

    It was the same last year until after the winter break (which we don't have this year). I honestly think they'll drop more points again..anyway, it is what it is...(BTW, I've been reading far too much Alan Watts lately hence my chilled attitude!)
    Keep the faith old bean!
