    I dont have the mental capacity to watch another year long manager hunt. We've talked about green shoots for years. Id rather a shot to the head at the moment.

    Even on the off chance we come back in this game somehow, there is no fun or enjoyment in this anymore
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    The thing is, if they got at these lads at all you just know they'd collapse, but we still look lethargic out there.

    Have to get Johnston on in the next five minutes. He'll create chances by himself in a way no-one else we have can.

    We all need to take a collective look at ourselves. Because we are blaming this manager, that manager, this player, that player, this formation, that formation, pointing to what we think we know about football, about our players, their clubs and their roles at those clubs and then disparaging the weak opposition.

    We have a minority of players who are vital to their clubs, but none of them - not one - who are vital in a part of the pitch that wins you games for a club of importance. Not even Ferguson yet.
    They are either defenders, or they are water carriers who have better players to do it for them.

    We point to results in MEANINGLESS matches and how expending maximum effort and some skill against teams with bigger and better priorities as another reason why we deserve to beat 'minnows' such as Armenia etc, all while ignoring the difficulties that these perceived minnows have caused us.

    We mock Armenia for getting the **** pumped out of them the other night by arguably one of the best teams in the world right now - the same team gave us a tonking not too long ago. What ****ing right do we have to laugh at Armenia?
    Here they come! Its the charge of the Thanks Brigade!

    I hear you to a point, but would a single Armenian make our squad?

    Theres no excuses, player for player we should be far better than Armenia. Our players lose the capacity to play simple 5 yard passes when they put on an Ireland shirt. Evan Ferguson is fantastic and we should be doing everything possible to just feed him the ball, instead we cant pass past midfield

    What would his marital status have to do with it?

    There's absolutely a lot in what you say about our lot - but I do think we should still absolutely not be struggling/losing against Armenia (again)

    We definitely have a lot of bog-average players though

    Plus Kelleher. Well done Kelleher. Keeping us in it against ****ing Armenia

    And rightly so. We all know these games are a struggle and we’re almost never going to hammer them. I’m not sure anyone was laughing at them or taking them for granted. What we should be able to expect though is some sort of coherent approach and sense of shape and tactics. We knew what Kenny wanted to do, but couldn’t execute and had no plan B. HH gave the impression he’d make the team tactically sound, with a cohesive shape and basic style. What’s happening tonight is worse than anything in the recent past. We’ve got players with far more experience, playing at a very high level and they look like a badly organised Astro league team who’ve just met for the first time. It’s baffling.

    Incredible read from Kelleher. We have no choice but to take risks though, a draw does us no good.

    Brentford are winners over the last couple of games, Kelleher's value has just gone up for the way he has kept his awful international side in games.

    No decent players in the centre of the park though.

    Not even a James McCarthy

    McCarthy played 250 times in the Premier League, he'd be a Rolls Royce compared to what we have in the middle now. Massively underrated player for us.
