Let's hope Everton stay up. Last thing we need is them in the Champ with us next time.

The worry is Forest come down and Luton stay up.

Either way i doubt we'll be anything better than play offs next season and i have my doubts about that.

BobSykes

I really fear for next season. I cannot see whatever team we salvage from this beaten and divided squad getting any higher than midtable and a back to back relegation has to be a real risk. With an apparently unsackable manager.

We havnt had a manager this out of his depth at this level since Laws. And I think that side would best this one.

Rubbish. We had a good go under Laws.

Brian was a poor manager but he was a country mile above this joker.

BobSykes

Dyche will love putting one of the las nails in our coffin. Can’t blame him to be honest although I would love it if we can put even more pressure on Dyche and more importantly Everton. Let’s see if we can deal with Tarks on the end of Dwight’s crosses Perhaps beating us three times in a season mig...

BobSykes

If one fixture was guaranteed to get Everton back to winning ways it's this one.

Likely to be amongst their easiest 3 points all season. At least we'll know we're definitely gone today even if it'll be a couple of weeks before confirmed mathematically.

BobSykes

Surely no health and safety official mindful of the risks of litigation and prosecution is going to simply 'take a chance'. This surely is going to be pulled at half time if the stadium is partly falling down!

A strut in the roof has come lose and is dangling dangerously. My son in law is sat near it and sent a picture

Crikey. That's concerning, not least because of the risk of an abandonment at 1-0 up!

BobSykes

Well i was worried Trafford would be straight back in after the international break so that's something. Foster good. The other changes baffling when, whisper it quietly, we looked a bit less awful in the last 2 games.

The sun's shining though, I'm off for a nice walk whilst we have it....

BobSykes

Kompany has signed his own p45 today or should have done

Criminal what he's done to the club with his selections this season, today just showed us what we could have won as Jim Bowen used to put it

BobSykes

Whilst I'm all for the radical innovation of picking your strongest players and not fielding ones not up to the task, the timing of this is utterly baffling as others have said and if it comes off then it will be a doubly maddening kick in the balls to the fans by Kompany by making this change when ...

BobSykes

Remarkable stuff. Surely we can limit the goals conceded in one half of football to 2 and come away with a point?

Not that it really matters either way

BobSykes

Any responsible employer seeing a senior employee under the kosh, under performing, making irrational decisions, surely has to seek a professional assessment of mental state?

BobSykes

I'm wondering seriously about his mental state now

These kids will blitz the championship

But they'll be managed by Kompany

BobSykes

Townsend LOL

Another stroke of Kompany genius....

BobSykes

And Sheff U guaranteed at least another 3 points after today of course.

They've still got to play our shower...

we are bottom

Deservedly so. Sheff U have fight, like Luton.

As for us. Worst team in the league. Possibly ever in PL history. Worst manager in the league. Players who can't be arsed.

Not only will we finish bottom we'll be some way short of 19th.

BobSykes

I rarely agree with Martin Samuel these days, at times he appears to be contradictory just for the sake of clicks - his latest column in The Times, begins with acerbic satire, but actually is making a relevant point about the way the game is travelling at ever greater speed, though it never seems t...

BobSykes

The only clowns inside turf moor was the clowns embarrassing themselves giving direct abuse to VK at the end. Disgraceful He looked like an utterly defeated man who knew the game was up. Let's hope so. Time to act Mr Pace. The Championship campaign starts now, get the new guy in this week please.

BobSykes

I'm doubly peed off because this is one of the games i picked last July when Pace conned me and thousands of others into panic buying tickets last summer on the back of the title winning euphoria. So I've actually had to trek up to Burnley to sit on the Turf this afternoon and witness whatever shamb...

On this showing Rovers will have a field day against us next season, home and away

They are immeasurably better than our crock of sh1t offering. Heartbreaking watching the passion desire and grit from those down the road conpared to the garbage we've been served up all season.

BobSykes

We really are in the do do if the main reason for keeping him is "there's nobody else" Course there would be. And having turned in one the worst managerial performances in the history of English football, it's close to the stage where i don't really care who comes in, they'd do a better job than thi...

OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT

Travesty turning to tragedy with every week that passes. Begone and go and manage a Belgian schoolgirls team. That's about your level.

BobSykes

Well, well. Who'd have predicted today's result...

I'd love the opportunity to have a candid chat with Mr Pace. I'm coming to the view that he's a bigger joker than Kompany and needs to f off too...

Jesus Christ, that's a bit dramatic

You'll be happy clapping again when we come back up next season.

Full of goons this messageboard.

Admire your optimism. But we're League 1 bound unless there are massive changes.

BobSykes

Like Kompany and an increasing number of other fans, i barely give a toss any more. Whatevs.

It's an absolute tragedy what's being allowed to unfold at our club. Unforgiveable.

BobSykes

It's worth remembering that Leicester went down with 34 points, Leeds 31 and Southampton 25. At the moment we are a million miles away from picking up the same number of points. Our team is much much poorer than the 3 that went down last year. Watford and Norwich went down with 23/22 points the las...

You post some absolute shite - and you post day in day out for reactions
It's all good and well posting from your armchair

Why is it sh1te to suggest back to back relegation when we have a team so poor and a manager so clueless and unable to even try to change a game when it's going wrong?

BobSykes

Not a chance this bunch gets promoted next season, particularly with this guy in charge

They'll be torn apart in the blood and guts of the Championship, qualities which are Burnley to the core but not in this weak and incoherent squad

BobSykes

This is now about the survival of the club

He's going to take us into League 1 and Pace will just sit there and let him

BobSykes

I've said it before (and will again). Have no idea how the best centre back of his generation in the Premier League cannot set our defence out. Genuinely baffling Simple. He was a brilliant footballer but not a clue when it comes to coaching and managing. He'll take us into league 1 if Pace remains...

Well beyond embarrassing now supporting this sh1tshow shambles.

Benson on the bench though.

That is a positive. Look forward to hearing about about his 3 mins of game time in injury time at the end when we'll be several goals down and everyone's waiting for the final whistle....

BobSykes

If series 2 of Mission.. ever makes it to air it could be fascinating if rather painfully grim watching. We might get some answers at least for this most baffling and frustrating of seasons.

I feel an absolute thrashing is on the cards today. And still nothing will change...

I really do hope that Everton go down..

Will that help our probably already limited promotion prospects next term with Everton likely to be head and shoulders above the rest, like Leicester?

BobSykes

I'm more annoyed with Klueless now after the comeback than at 0-2 . We've shown we could have won that, as with various other earlier games, and getting 1 point which does nothing for us is not one ounce of consolation.

Bin him. Now. Today.

BobSykes

As Jim Bowen used to say - look at what you could have won

Nice one Vinny. We could have got 3 crucial points today.

BobSykes

Kompany more deserving of the sack in my view at 2-2 than if it finished 0-2 because its all down to wrong selection again that we've not won a game we needed to

BobSykes

I’d give him 10 games into next season, and re-evaluate. But it’s worrying that he doesn’t seem to learn/adapt. I'm fine now with writing off this season, but let's not write off next season too. Giving him the reins this summer and for a quarter of next season is a recipe for further catastrophe

Brian Laws oh no!

We'd have been giving it a go with Laws.

VK not close to being in Brian's league.

BobSykes

Sack him now, sack him today.

Then the new man can hopefully work out what we need to do this summer to compete in the Championship again because sure as dammit we're heading for League 1 if Kompany is masterminding our prep this summer.

Do it Alan. Start Project v2 today.

Time to bin VK, we won last year despite him.

Been saying this for months. He looked gobsmacked at times last season at what was happening

BobSykes

What has he done to deserve another shot?

Keep him and we'll be league 1 before you know it. Seriously.

BobSykes

The one substitution which needs making is the one I've been crying out for for months. The gaffer. My preference would be to hook HIM at half time. Let Jackson take charge of the second half, see what he thinks. Kompany has to be binned, give the new guy something to look at over the remaining game...

BobSykes

Brentford lost so gap there still only 10 points

I say "only".... but you asked for straw clutching!

BobSykes

Fair play to Luton. A team that wants to stay in the PL and have a good chance of doing so.

We deserve exactly what we're going to get this season.

BobSykes

This season from hell though, it's nice to have 3 successive Saturday/Sundays not tainted by the stress of the Clarets playing. Granted the Luton result intruded on weekend one slightly but i was largely over it (or at least past caring now) by the time I'd breakfasted on the Saturday morning.

BobSykes

Hilarious

We'll probably still go down anyway....
