    The Dijksteel situation

    I think it's time for him to move on. Very much a confidence player and I think we need a more of hardy, mentally tough team. He doesn't seem to have that mentality.

    Carrick apparently furious with the officials at the end of the game and chased 'em down the tunnel. Not surprised, the officials were trash and Tony Harrington and his team were supposed to be 'PL officials'.

    Michael Carrick post match interview Vs Ipswich

    I think injuries did derail our season tbh (doesn't excuse some of our performances at home) and I think Carrick has done a decent job overall and at least he has shown some willingness to be pragmatic unlike other managers we have had. Carrick main mistake, like a lot of people have said, was...

    Its funny when you don't gift team's chances and space around your own final third how few goals you end up conceding. Honestly, it seems like Carrick may have come to the realisation that playing out from the back is probably not the way to get results for the rest of the season.

    Scrappy, lacking in quality game. Proper champo game. None of this tippy tappy stuff, modern football stuff.

    Screechy commentators, also Mark Drury on BBC tees getting more excited when we look like conceding is very annoying. Over analysis of matches on Match of the Day. Just show the highlights, its not that deep. Fans who can't hack when opposition players celebrate if front of them especially...

    Rav with huge tackle to keep it 0-0. Absolute hero Tiniest little tug on the shirt by Dieng for the assist. MOTM for me.

    Lukas Engel might not be a world beater, but he's a damn sight better that anybody else we've got

    We just need a win don't care how we get it. Yeah, looks soft to me but who gives a toss.

    If he doesn't do something different next time out, probably yeah. There is sticking to principles and then there is being stubborn and putting your players in a position to fail. Carrick is damn close to the latter for me.

    It's like watching the Plymouth and Bristol City match on repeat. I thought it couldn't be much worse than Plymouth.... I was proven wrong

    Don't want to sound dramatic but this is bad as some of the woodgate football.

    Carrick

    If your players can't make 4 yards passes and give the ball away in their own half maybe don't tell them to play that way. Play balls into less dangerous areas, play it into the channels, be more direct in how we get the ball out from the back. We have been better against some of the better...

    Carrick

    Carrick was massively at fault today. He played exactly the same today as he did against Bristol City and expected different result. He needs to be pragmatic.
