I have high hopes for Rutter but a striker he ain't, they didn't need to defend the box once Paddy left and it showed. OK Pady's control let him down and a dive was it for the Summerville chance meant he wasn't there for the rebound.... but you need a 9 on the pitch to keep defences honest.
I think Greenwood comes on for his quality of set play deliveries. Our corners seemed much more dangerous when he took them. Since Raph left we don't seem to have a decent free kicker.

That's the key. We definitely look more like a football side again now and it gives me hopes really that we can take points from most teams now, for sure we will lose a few but should win a fair few, hopefully enough.
A decent manager should be able to make something out of this lot to survive, it's a 14th place team in good hands.
Relegation in others.

If we play to the standard we have in the last two games we should be able to beat the Everton and Southampton of this world and climb out of trouble. Problem is up till now we have under performed against those lower placed teams.

Won both is a big call but I’d like to have found out but hey as long as we beat Accrington Stanley and progress in the FA Bloody Cup who cares. And Fulham away. No chance. Bloody FA cup. Right royal pain in the arse if you ask me

Spot on. The Forest performance was a killer. It will be interesting to see how the new coaches approach the Everton game. We will be expected to be on the front foot and break Everton down.. The last couple of games i have liked the way we have allowed mu the ball to play across the back and just closed of the space in front of them. Against Everton it will likely be the other way around.

We've been stuck with the wrong guy for months, done us a lot of damage unfortunately....

Problem is he was never gonna score, so we had to try something different
You never say never with Paddy .... but he was our best bet to leave another player uncovered. Paddy has to be defended and he's sharper this season, despite the mis-fires today

It's the hope that kills you . We promise so much but deliver so little. Can't keep blaming bad luck.

Most of me waants to see what Skubala can do against lesser opposition. But I suspect we'll have a new manager in place and we're back to square one...

We probably have more chance of beating Everton than Southamptonparkthebus.
So, I am on a week holiday in Lanzarote, went to a bar to watch the game surrounded by Man U fans claiming we dive too much etc, didn't like it when I suggested Fernández was the top diver in the league !! Thought we were going to get at least a draw....just sickening when they scored....really sickening.....listening to their celebrations.....decided I won't watch us in bars again

Today reminded me of 1990's Leeds v Scum games. They were always a class above us. But we had a game plan and knew how to rattle them, defend, and create chances.
This Scum is not as good as 1990's Scum. And this Leeds is not as good as 1990's Leeds. But the gulf between the clubs was so much closer back then. This season we're miles away in terms of points and in the table. But we looked a lot closer to them than we have at any time this past week.
Verdict: One man Skubela has showed what you can do with proper tactics and application. And that the last joker in charge was absolutley clueless. Let's remember, Scoobs has no 1st team management experience. But he set up so much better, with virtually no time to prepare, than the someone who was supposed to be the new special one.
I supported Marsch wholeheartedly. Didn't really call for the sack until Forest. Seeing what one man can do in the space of a week has really exposed Marsch to be a fraud.
once Paddy was subbed, I feared the worst.
