Oh yeah one of the Danes is “seriously ill”. My ass. He hasn’t got the bollocks to call out the employers.

Not sure replacing replacing Bradley with Low would have given us any more points and three at the back clearly doesn’t work.
I know he’s a nice guy but we’re a nice club and deserve better
Don’t say that, @glasshalffull1 doesn’t like it.
Absolutely. Since we’ve had a successful season there’s a grim sense of entitlement which has crept in over recent weeks, leading to unacceptable abuse. If I was an out of contract, highly sought after or loan player considering a return, I wouldn’t want to play for this club next year right now with the way they’re being treated. No surprise Norris heads straight down the tunnel. We’re lucky he chooses to come out of it in the first place.

We might be if he was an improvement on the player we benched for him.
Sam Grace in!

Kone is absolutely knackered. Humphreys similar, although not quite as extreme.
We don’t have a fit centre forward in the squad. I’d bench Kone at the very least next week, as he should have been several weeks ago. Ideally I’d rather he were sat at home with his feet up. Udoh upfront with GMac (or anyone we’ve got available that can actually run).
No doubt people will keep moaning about Dodds but our attacking options have been really limited. We have no legs whatsoever upfront. Makes sense in that scenario to try and keep it tight at the back and nick a 1-0.

I don’t think the players usurped are that fickle to think like that - they’re seasoned pros who get the game. The problem is we brought in 12 new players and a new manager and expected them to gel with a team who had played together for a while

Sorry, but im not sure what scoring one and cocneding a few acheives, at all.
We must not forget, it is Kone’s first FULL season as a professional footballer. He is bound to be knackered!

To bring it to the game - the ref was absolutely shocking. I can’t figure out why we didn’t keep running at their right back when he had the most red of yellow cards.
When Scowen went off, we were playing with a midfield of jinky pass-boys, and lacked real grit.
We started the 2nd well, but again looked shell shocked at conceding. What a rubbish goal too

An “interesting” perspective.
Taylor has to do better with the first ball into the box for their goal, sadly.
And whilst we did start the second half well, did the keeper have a save to make all game? That’s been our issue in recent weeks for me - partly down to the system change perhaps, but ultimately it’s the players on the pitch who create and take the chances, and we haven’t been anywhere near good enough in that department for weeks.

Trying desperately not to knee jerk react but Mike Dodds needs to be relieved of his duties with immediate effect. I don’t think there is much chance of Wycombe promotion anyway but there is zero chance with him still in charge. We need someone to come in and offer positivity. Because Dodds has sucked the life out of everything and quite obvious the players don’t want to play for him. Sorry Alan Parry.

Spot on. Been like experiencing an unavoidable slow-motion car crash since the end of February.

I want Dodds to stay. Id rather a chance to stay in league 1 and have a real tilt at smashing it, with some planning.
“Trying not to knee jerk”… Immediately knee jerks.
Things haven’t gone well recently, we can all see that. But do you want us to become a club that goes through 3-4 managers a year? Or do you want to give a young, up and coming manager a chance to prove himself?
If you had your way, Bloomfield would’ve been gone long before this season even started.

It’s basically a 0 to 1 decimal scale of the quality of a shot, in the sense of how likely it is to be goal based on previous data. It’s not exactly a useful stat and is often used out of context to prove a point.
Goals matter, expected goals don’t unless you’re massively over or under performing on them, because over performing on xG implies an unsustainable run (e.g. Autumn) and underperforming means your players aren’t up to it (e.g. Shrewsbury) but usually it should all regress to the mean anyway and even out so your total GF and GA will be pretty close to the xG either way.
Hope that helps if you ever want to justify ignoring it 
It depends whether you think Dodds is a Matt Bloomfield or a Neil Smillie.
The previous regime was big on giving the man in charge backing to get it right, we’re in unknown territory in the Dan Rice era as to the way the board will react to the head coach coming under pressure.
