Not sure what expect. Still deflated after Bristol. Re Jimmy after Bristol NO!.That game made the argument for Neil being a whole lot better than I had long argued. However if Jimmy in the remainder of the season shows something then maybe. Let's take the time and not rush. There is for once nothing more to lose this season!
Re today Campbell should be preferred to Rachubka. Rachubka isn't anywhere near good enough.
Re the others let's see who wants to wear the shirt !

Not sure what word I would use "looking forward" is far too strong, as is excited. But I am interested to see what changes Jimmy will implement today. Suppose a start of any new era is exciting, change is as good as a rest. Well most of our players had a good rest at Ashton Gate. We were far dominant in that game, in terms of kick offs. Well now its time for change.
I can't blame Jimmy too much for the drubbing, he hardly had time to do anything. All he did really was force Wheater back. Think most fans were happy to see that and replace Walker with Feeney. Again that's a given. I'll judge Jimmy from now. He speaks of tactics in his press conferences. A novel idea for most managers.
I'd quite like to see a 3 pronged attack. The way Lennon started out. Clough, Woolery and maybe even Pratley as the focal point. Trotter and Vela in the middle maybe even Derick for the Campo role i presumed he would always take to protect Wheater, Holding Moxey and Wilson. Keeper wise I'm really not sure. Would hate to throw a kid in and watch him get demolished but would also hate to see Rachbuka play and get demolished. If we don't get demolished today, that would be grand.

Just compete from now till the end of the season, which I can't wait to end by the way. I have bought my ticket for the Derby game next Saturday along with wait for it 30 other's so it looks like the fans have lost interest. Today will be a draw god knows who will score and we won't keep a clean sheet with that muppet in goal.

Odd team. Brave move by Jimmy if he does want the job. Gone with a team ready for next season. 5 at the back with wing backs possibly. Cough behind two strikers. Vela in the middle.
Its what I called for a good while ago. I'm still very worried about it.
If we get stuffed it will be full of "Phillips is out of his depth" but he's trying new things, he's doing what people asked and he's prepared to take that chance and maybe we'll need to take a few more hidings before we come good. I'm happy to give JP my backing and a 12 month contract. (regardless of what might happen today)

Spirited performance, hopefully, but still 1-3 to them sadly They have too much firepower

Sounds like the ref has ruined the game as a contest. As far as the season goes its probably not that important but it could be crucial. By both accounts BN and Sky Holding won the ball.
You have a 4th official watching a replay in the dugout and that decision takes 20-30 seconds at best. The game goes on and the fans still get to see a fair contest. No excuses for it. Glad Amos saved it, really hope that gives him a boost. Thought Lennons comments on Amos was shocking. Not sure how "injured" he was. Remember when Lonergan and Mills both picked up injuries. Should have known then what type of manager we had.
Odd position now were 0-0 would be a great result and we could take a lot of pride in it but really its all but sealed unless we win and even then other results wouldn't go our way. Neil Warnock is set to pick up more wins this season than Neil Lennon....but hey Rotherham have probably spent millions and have a huge wage bill right?

25 yard strike again what is it with our goalkeeper can't he not see it make's me so mad any team we play just shoot from 25 yards and it will end up in the back off the net. Another ****ing Saturday ruined i'm sick to the back teeth of it. It should be so easy to not be bothered but I can't help it and why the **** do we play Heskey

Spirited performance, hopefully, but still 1-3 to them sadly They have too much firepower Well the end result was the same I suppose, we lost But I don't want Amos to drop into League 1 with us, he must surely be single handedly responsible for at least 20 points dropped from positions where we might have got at the very least a point!!! What happened to ROK Mobile??? Don't they get a full season for their investment??

I think that we witnessed quite a spirited 10 man battle. Defenders got in some good blocks and in general we struck a better balance of pressing and dropping off. We lasted the game. I thought the substitutions were timely and we'll judged.
I thought Holding won the ball cleanly albeit with a risky challenge after being caught flat footed. I doubt the incident made much difference to the result but it did give Amos a chance to save a penalty.
Amos was a surprise selection and looked very unfit and sluggish. However he pulled off three or four excellent saves and was only beaten in the end by a really good shot to his weaker right hand side. It was in all the way against Amos as shots to that side usually are..but he had a good sound return to the team
I liked the glimpse we had of Derik screening a back four. Good choice that and Derik was in my opinion our stand out player. In the end this lack of attack rendered the game one sided. They missed a fair few chances but we mustered two half shots. We had quite a bit of luck to get as far as we did at 0-0 but it was a matter of time really before they struck one
Spirit yes! Defensive tactics and team play were improved. Pratley and Vela in particular were much improved defensively. Trotter did little of note.
But we created nothing at all. Upfront Woolery had one run and cross,Clough one run. Both sorely need better experienced players to support them. We were quite toothless and had no wide option - this from having too many wide players but weeks ago.
I was quite impressed by Maher though he was outstripped on one occasion and struggled for pace.
Overall a dull flat game disrupted by a bad refereeing decision but an impotent home team cannot blame that. Roll on next season but there are hard times ahead.
Amos 7 Maher 6 Wheater 7 Holding 2 Moxey 3 Derik 8 Vela 6 Pratley 6 Dobbie 2 Woolery 3 Clough 4 Trotter 4 Danns 4

As disappointed as I am, would 0-0 have made it much the league look any better. Nope. Shame because it sounded like certain people really deserved to walk off to the full support of the fans Derick. From the sounds of it Amos and Wheater kept us in it.
I feel robbed that we weren't able to see what Phillips game plan was and how effective it may have been. We now have some very tough games coming up and this was our best chance at showcasing that. That refs decision has probably cost Phillips a full time job.
Can someone please tell me though why every tackle in the box needs to be an instant red card these days? Why are refs just so happy to start throwing cards around needlessly.
Looks like wigan will go on and win that league at a canter now. Whilst Blackpool are still down struggling and flirting with relegation. That's the fork in the road where we find ourselves at now.
But as I said pre-kick off this is what the fans asked for recently; Drop Rachbuka, drop Davies, play Woolery, play Clough, try Derick in the Campo role, try 5-3-2, give Samizadeh some time with the squad/on the bench, play the players that will be here next season and maybe even give Dobbie a chance.
He did all that. Aside from maybe stripping Pratley of the captaincy he did today what most were calling Lennon to do for weeks if not months.

AndyL slamming Trotter? Never thought I'd see the day. Whilst your in this mood please watch MotD tonight and tell my again your views on Mark "all eyes on me" Clattenburg. Another needless sending off.
May have cost West Ham a place in the top 4, how much could that be worth....also cost me a few quid on a bet too. Which is why i'm seething with football in general at the moment but referees in general.

I'm off out in a minute so can't comment much but I thought it was pathetic.
As soon as Holding was sent off, we gave up, had little fight or spirit and hoped to hang on for 0-0.
Absolutely awful
