We are where we are because of a total lack of fight. Bunch of fanny's. The lot of em. These are the players identified by our recruitment guru. And there are still some who defend him.

Oh come on! How many out of the last 7 games have we lost?
Stop guessing at formations, stop changing 6,7,8 players every game.
Yea fight is good but tactics and footballing knowledge are key.
Get rid, absolutely out of his depth. Doing my head in

He's right that we were the better team in my opinion. He's kidding himself if he thinks there's any fight amongst them though.
Mentally weak side with practically no bollocks at all amongst them.

Not sure why people are going overboard based on Schumachers comments, he’s saying what he needs to. If he said what he’s probably thinking it wouldn’t go down too well with the players.

We haven't had a fight since fucking 2016. We went down without a fight last time and the similarities to them are fucking staggering.
For the good of your own career, Steven. Get fucking gone.

Interesting comment from Schumacher just🤔 It was an awful interview. I tuned in in the hope I'd have something to cling onto. It made me feel worse. Get him gone.

Like the "Lack of quality up front and at the Back" part throwing them all under the bus albeit he's obviously correct in his comment.

Yeah he can’t be specific and say most of the players are shit, he’s got to do things in a subtle way because there’s a lot left to play for. I hope that privately he’s thinking of fucking all of the CB’s off if he can amongst some other things too.

I'm pretty sure that's been heard by every defender and striker and its not subtle at all its as clear as day and if they weren't already throwing the towel in they will now he's lost the lot of them. No self awareness at his limitations or indeed who was involved in the recruitment of the "lack of quality" again albeit he wasn't alone in the recruitment of excrement currently masquerading as footballers. He's getting flustered and making mistakes on interviews because of his lack of experience under pressure

It just sound jones esk. Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Why have all our players been prone to so many mistakes over the last 6 seasons? Are they having a wager between the players???
It also sounded naive we were 2-0 down and then we start playing, er, yeah that happens, teams can just sit back and they know we are not gonna score.
Very naive

Shambles Need to ask TP who his Army contact is, and get the squad a few days military training/teamwork to show them what fighting means. It worked in the past.

To come over at the end of the game & expect a warm reception from the fans after that 90 mins is unbelievable
For the first time now this season Ive come to the decision we are down...fight? Some of our players couldnt fight out of a paper bag

We’ve just come out of a transfer window where he/they didn’t bother to bring in a defender. He then bemoans a “lack of quality” at the back. One of the many reasons we can have absolutely no complaints as and when we get relegated. The January window was mind boggling.

Oh, that'll motivate them all then! Mad isn't it we're in the shit and he comes out with that. I didn't listen to the interview. As I've said previously I haven't listened to ONE of his interviews. I said earlier what's the point in changing the manager now as it'll confuse things more and who can get a song out of this lot anyway BUT if that's what he's said, sorry he HAS to go! What an effing stupid, naive, clueless thing to say. I said a few weeks ago that we'd pay for dirty laundry being aired in public as it NEVER helps but people thought he was a breath of fresh air and honesty for saying it. Unfortunately, that's not how clever man-management works. So, if he knows eff all about that, time for the door, and believe me, I never like saying stuff like this. He was NEVER the right appointment for the situation we were in.

Interesting comment from Schumacher just🤔 I’ve come back on to double check that I’d heard him right. Seriously…fuck him off tonight. He’s so far out of his depth it’s beyond a joke. He’s making Nathan Jones appear competent and Alex Neil like Pep The dawning horror that we are actually now in the bottom three… and then he comes out saying that?! I couldn’t believe my ears. It was right up there with MON’s “We aren’t a Top 6 side” in his final post-match interview. Sorry Steve, you seem a good bloke but you are utterly clueless when the chips are down. Leave now with your handsome payoff and you might get your Plymouth job back, as they seem to have replaced you with somebody almost as useless as yourself

He was NEVER the right appointment for the situation we were in. It was an awful post match interview Thanks for the link Franklyn But I won't break a habit of his tenure. I find him un-inspirational and can't be ar$ed to listen and never have done. If I can't ,I imagine a few of the squad might've turned off on many occasions. I'm not usually like this. I like to give people the benefit and all that but I couldn't believe that we appointed somebody that basically nobody had heard of when we had a whole new squad of players from all over the world that barely new each other. They needed somebody with, and i keep using the word, gravitas, presence and experience. Someone they would listen to not some bloke from the lower leagues who'd been succesful with a team that again, they'd probably never heard of! It's not his fault that he was naively appointed. I'm just so effing annoyed and angry that we are so clueless. How could he not see what was needed in the transfer window? I'm sorry and again don't like to criticise to this extent but he must be clueless and naive himself if he thought he could manage Stoke City at this point in time. Right, that's me done for the night. Going to get a large glass of red and watch cr@p that has nothing to do with football!

Our 11 wasn’t as good as theirs. We deserved to lose.
We did have more possession, shots, chances, corners etc but we still didn’t deserve to win.
If the keepers had been swapped, we would have won and we would have deserved to win because our 11 would have played better than theirs.
We recruited a terrible squad with no decent keeper and no one who can play LB,and several wide attacking players who may just be good enough for league 1.

As much as I hate it I feel like we need to go to a back 5 sure up the defence and hope we can nick something from a set piece. I feel like the only way we can stop sliding is to somehow stop the flow of goals into out net.

He's really starting to morph into Wayne Rooney. You could tell after the Sunderland game that he was struggling, now it's just painful to watch, nearly as painful as the football his team are "playing".
