Will Ramsey post his highlights from today all over his social media?1

I can handle having worse players, but not working hard is a disgrace and that has become an issue recently. Never thought I’d see that from a Nathan Jones team and it tells a worrying story.usetobunkin said:Out competed every position.

On what planet did we keep it tight? That genuinely could have been double figuresDazzler21 said:

No. Jones has bought players who he hasn't wanted to play when they got here - Apter, Knibbs, Olaofe, Rankin-Costellokentred2 said:The owners have let Jones and the fans down.Signings either walking wounded or league one standard at best.
His man management in particular of Apter is appalling. He must have known he is a winger and isn't big enough to play wing back. So someone we spent a lot of money on sits almost permanently on the bench.14 -
I was right predicted 3-0 and it was 4. No real goal threat in this side. Its weak. You get zero points for 1-0 as you do 4-0 and the goal difference has just taken a bash.Dazzler21 said:

I always look for positives after a defeat.24

Let’s face it.
Bromley are gonna be our main rivals for next few years.6 -
I had 4-0 Millwall at 28/1, and I cashed out immediately because I thought they might get another.23

At the game and I seriously don't know what to say.
I thought at half time we were still in the game but the second half was so gutless it was ridiculous.
I'm not in the Nathan Jones out brigade because anyone coming in would have to play with a squad of players who mainly are league one standard.
Up until today I've firmly believed we would stay up but now I'm not so sure.
Jones chops and changes players with such regularity I'm not sure he knows what his best side is.
I now believe that February will decide our fate.
6 games in February and we simply have to pick up enough points to give us a chance of staying up.
As things stand i don't think we will.24 -

When you think about it, their recuitment has brought in Taylor, Azeez,Doughty,Crama,Ivanovic,Neghli and we have brought in the likes of Ahadme,Kelman,Olaofe,Rousillon,Hernandez,Gillesphey....and who is in charge of their recruitment?...... Steve Gallen......sorta sums up this club tbh.
I notice Rodwell had a quick chat with NJ before he left the pitch... i wonder if it was 'I want to see you in the morning'?3 -
Rightly or wrongly, Jones isn't going anywhere so we can bin off that line of thinking.
Three goals in the last 10 minutes but let's be honest they were knocking on the door before that. We were awful in the second half.
I'll focus more on the first 55 minutes because after the triple change and going 4-4-2 we were torn to shreds.
Jones got his starting 11 wrong. And then he got his first sub in Fullah on for Chambers massively wrong. I believe Anderson will turn out to be a decent player but he isn't keeping us in the division this season. And JRC is tidy on the ball but lightweight. This was the game for Cov and Doc and Jones bottled it.
TC looked a menace in the first half. His reward? LWB.
This was not the game for Fullah. He looked lost, lightweight, and constantly gave the ball away.
The less said about Ramsay, the better. He's been bang out of form since coming back from injury and it makes me wonder if he was rushed back.
As to our tactics, knocking it long and winning the knockdowns was never going to work against a 6'5" and 6'6" pair of CBs. Dykes worked hard but fed on less than scraps. We pressed OK at times but we just got pinned back. And that brings me to...
We cannot build from the back and that will get us relegated. If we can't find ways to win headers and seconds, we're fucked. But teams have sorted us out now and they can sit in a mid block, let us pass around at the back, and then wait for us to get scared and go back to the keeper or give it away and just hit us on the counter. This is more than just today, this has been going on for months. If we're going to take a bend don't break approach to defending then we need to sit deeper and defend better. Instead, we look caught between two stalls and just kind of float around the midfield until teams break us down.
All the things Jones' team did well to get us promoted have vanished. In the Championship, you need to be better tactically and Jones hasn't made the step up since losing his first choice XI.
Yes, we'll get relegated if we play like that every week. But fortunately, we won't play like that every week.
Someone else said it but Jones needs to be careful about what he says in the presser. "Look at where we were a year ago" isn't going to cut it.
LCB and CM are still needed in this window. But first, Jones needs to get the team on the training ground and work on patterns of play, zones of defending, and building from the back.
This team, and Jones, need a response against Leicester. Even if we don't win it, we need to look like a cohesive team.
Right, it's 7am, it's still - 5C out, I'm going back to bed. If you read all of my ramblings, thank you.27 -
Don’t understand people complaining about “our goal”. It wasn’t a goal. Yes, the ref got the decision wrong, but he blew the whistle and Millwall players stopped playing long before Fullah put the ball in an empty net.We’re one of the worst 4 teams in the league, we just have to hope we have enough to be the 4th worst.9

We are so terrible to watch at present- no discernible style or tactics. Disorganised across the pitch and we create nothing.
Millwall outclassed us. Just plain embarrassing to watch.1 -
Ramsay needs to pack in the fucking social media highlights and focus on playing football again.8

What a complete and utter embarrassment.Only surprise was it took them 80 mins to finish us off, not that the result was in doubt
Then the spineless pricks really rolled over.1 -

No point. People will just tell you to be patient & its better getting the right player in for the last 15 matches than someone from jan 1st.Oh Eddie Youds... said:NO MORE UNFIT LOAN PLAYERS.
SPEND SOME FUCKING MONEY.
THIS SQUAD WILL NOT STAY UP.
Is that clear enough ladies & gentlemen? It really is that simple.

I’m confused. For the first two months of the season we looked, at worst, like a solid mid-table side. Now we look completely abysmal.
So what is it — a mid-table Championship squad being badly managed, or a genuinely League One-level squad with a manager who’s simply cant get anything more from them?

Be interesting to see if Pompeys players turn up in their derby against a better side.
Bet they at least try.3 -

The "we got promoted a year too early" theory is proving itself more correct over time2 -
Don’t forget we did scrap a 1 0 against 9 men1
-
The way Cooper handles 2 of our players like they are children to give Taylor the space for a free header on the 2nd goal is pure embarrassment. Watch the reply at full speed. He stands still and holds them both in a cuddle.For what it’s worth I’m not suggesting I’d wriggle my way out of that any better but it’s symptomatic of how insufficient we are at this level

Left side weak yes but they targeted Ramsay as well…can see now why he ended up at Harrogatevff said:Alex Neil is a good manager and tactically astute. Charlton left side weakness is apparent to everone for months - apparently not the Charlton hierarchy, owners or club, who have not moved to address this despite the injuries to Bell and Edwards - or by Jones to find a different way to play.Alex Neil set up Azeez from the right fired accross dangerous crosses to the right back position. Ramsey was bullied and targeted throughout. Azeez then moved accross to the left to torment Ramsey directly.Campbell was lively first half 1st half but is no left wing back and moving him takes away his attacking threat.Millwall should have been 3-0 up half time and could easily have scored 6 or 7 and got in consistently decent attacking positions. So many decent crosses from the right side in particularly.Following 3 other changes, it settled for a bit, but Dykes was unlucky to be penalised at 0-1 by ref, who bottled the decision.Neil reorganised and Jones brought on Godden, for a battered and badly tiring team. 4-0 is not a scoreline that flattered them. That Millwall team manager to manager, investment by owners, outfield players and set up is at a higher level. It showed on the pitch.Nathan Jones strategic skill is being exposed by a weak squad, but what manager is going to do better with a league one team and gaping left sided weaknesses in the team not being addressed ?The crosses were being fired in from the right side, accoss the centre back to the right back Ramsey area. If the midfield / left wing back position was stronger than they would not be able to do that to the same degree.Neil had Millwall rough house Ramsey every opportunity to unsettle him on top of that.2 -
Shame Rodwell couldn't be challenged on that at the Q&A.DDOUBLEE said:And I'm not even having this bollocks that Chambers was supposedly our "first choice" to sign. No way.4
