I was ok with the game plan albeit boring to watch
We could have even scored ourselves but it wasn't to be again
However when we decided to have a go we looked semi threatening.
But around 70 mins it was obvious we needed to make some subs and throw our hat in the ring but he didn't for some reason
What is the point in doing that in the 88th minute when the game has gone?
Poor stuff re in game management from Mr Neil

Who settles for a loss with attackers on the bench? |

I think that AN's in-game tactical changes and substitutions have been pretty questionable throughout most of his reign here.
Which is surprising really.

I agree if things are not working you bring a couple of players on early in the second half and then if it needs the kitchen sink throwing at it another 3 about 10 mins after. I know his game plan was to be solid and if you get a chance in the last 10 mins of the game take it but when that went out of the window should have had a plan b.

Very disappointed with him in that respect When he came to us a Sunderland manager he changed them at half time and they went on to beat us and my Sunderland mate said that was one of his big positives Don't see it since he joined us |

Agree.
But I was most frustrated when Johnson pissed about with the ball instead of giving it to Bae shortly before they got their second. I’m not sure how most of our midfield have had success in this league; they must have been carried by better teammates.

When Varney was coming on, you just knew he would score,
But AN just stood there and did nothing, just kept to the same players.
I honestly now believe he is here just for the money, if he does well OK, If he his sacked he will be far richer than he was.

The trying to prove some sort of fucked up point is all I have for having Vidigal on the bench but not bringing him on. He was taking the piss out of the club there as far as I’m concerned. |

You’d think he wasn’t a very good manager.

He’d written the game off before it started. Genuinely think his ethos today was getting to the 2 week break with no more injury problems and not letting those with niggles ruin their recovery.
Can’t see any other reason why you wouldn’t throw subs into the ring earlier, unless he’s clueless.

Who was the tit who missed the sitter straight from the second half. Just saw a header go flying over Nathan Lowe mate, should have got it on target at least, and perhaps should have done better with the ball whipped in by Junoir towards the end of the first half. |

He cut the figure of a manager who had either given up, or was trying to prove some sort of fucked up point. Or doesn't know what to do. He's had the chance to build a club - a chance offorded to no managers anymore - and has been found wanting. He's got a slim chance of regrouping and getting injured players back but I'm not banking on it. |

We could have got something from the game if we made the change at the right time. There were 2/3 times before they scored the second that they almost scored and it was obvious we needed to change something. I don’t think they actually coped very well with us when we did go forward and a Hak and Vidigal sub might have given us even more of a chance. Instead we do nothing and lose an inevitable second.
But what were really going to do? Those saying it was a free hit would have been those sticking the boot in if we’d lost by 4 or 5.

There was nothing to boil anyone’s piss it was a really shit approach that had many mitigating factors. Would I be happy to watch such shite every week you bet not.

A lot of our fans think that sort of approach is the answer when in fact it is fucking awful even with the mitigating circumstances. |

I honestly feel some Managers are just not as passionate as the fans about gaining an additional point. They are too risk averse. AN is probably terrified of additional injuries and thought fuck it we’ve lost anyway. There is something in our “Whole Club Mentality” that is now so far out of calibration that I worry about our immediate future. We cannot continue to walk the tightrope. We will fall at some point. That will involve playing in League One soon I feel.
