Is DA a snake oil salesman.

He looked like a rabbit in the headlights talking gibberish. I’m very concerned.

Just listened to him post match and am already tiring of him talking b0ll0cks

Pot, kettle, black.

Today was a bad day. Listened to the post match & I actually get what he's on about & confident he has a plan, knows what to do & how. This Christmas period has probably helped him in a perverse way as it’s identified who’s up to it & who’s not for him.

Would love to know though who’s been told they won’t be part of the plan though.

For me the post match interview on YouTube was his best to date. I couldn’t disagree with any of what he said and he came across clearly, calmly and to the point. Obviously frustrated with what he had just witnessed, especially the second half, he was able to articulate that in a matter of fact and considered way.

Whether we like it or not the season is “over” and any “success” will be to have survived another season as an EFL club. If he is given the time to mould a team to play his preferred way, that process, at times, is going to be painful to watch. But hopefully more and more we will see glimpses of a side we can all be proud of and bring future success. The road ahead is going to be bumpy, but I hope we will all look back on this period as the beginning of something great. UTM

Artell is the least of our problems. He has inherited a squad that can't play a long ball game, have very little resilience,  have very little pace and absolutely no devilment in their play. Despite today's capitulation a short passing game suits this squad best and we played it very well until they equalised and collapsed like a soufflé.

We will just have to wait till he gets a better spine to the team and we play the lovely football with more end product.

Definitely no spine, and to me that’s CBs,CM and CF. No disrespect to rose but he can’t do it all on his. We have talent in midfield but they’re mostly younger players. The defence is shocking, to a man shocking. 3-4 players needed.

I thought he played a pretty straight bat in the interview. No attempt to sugar coat the performance.  His comment about it confirming what he already thought is a pretty ominous sign for some of the players. He clearly thinks they are not up to it. Whether he can actually replace them in January is another matter. It is not easy. I think our best hope is for a few loanees.

I would like to think the season is over, but it isn't. We are in real danger of relegation. We have three tough games coming up and on today's performance would lose the lot. If we do we might well be perilously close to the drop zone. We are by no means out of the woods.

Literally our only strength is Danny Rose. The poor beggar must be wondering what he’s signed up for.

I will tell you exactly what he signed for , 2k a week for 2 years and a move back home in his own bed every night. He knew exactly what he was walking into when he signed. Do not believe he had ideas of a promotion run unlike half you lot.

2k a week he’s cheap.

Quoted from headingly_mariner

And I'm saying none of that means Artell doesn't have any responsibility for the result. Our biggest league loss at home since the 40's?

Just listened to his interview and even more worried now. All the blame piled on the players, no responsibility taken, it was like he's had intercourse all to do with it.

As a said it's too early to tell yet, but there are warning signs he is undoing the good work of the caretaker management team.

I really hope he's the genius he makes out he is.

Damned if he does and damned if he don't.  Earlier, people were saying that they hope he has a go at the players.  I am not a fan of his interviews but he has taken a lot of blame for our performances when the players should have had a little more accountability.
