Thanks for the memories but if you are going to play like that as your contract is up - fcuk off.

Today’s performance was a disgrace and how he stayed on i do not know - main cheer of the day when he was subbed.

Disagree. Main cheer of the day was when the 4th official put up 1 minute added time and we all realised we could get to the pub 5 minutes earlier than usual ( probably more as so many had already fucked off ). 😁

There was a moment where the ball kind of bobbled into the open in the first half and he would have won it if he sprinted, but he actually seemed to make a conscious decision to jog towards it instead and didn't make it in time. Jogged back for the rest of that passage of play, too. And most of the game to be honest.

I love DJ because when he plays well he can make things look so easy. Not everyone can play well all the time, not to mention that he's inconsistent anyway, but today he absolutely reeked of a player not wanting to get injured in the final months of his contract. That's just not acceptable, least of all from someone who's supposed to be influential in the dressing room.

If he's going to play like that, he should be binned off this month and we should put his considerable wage towards paying someone who's at least going to put some effort in.
 
Big fan of DJ, and I don’t believe he was any worse or any better than anyone else today. My view is that confirmation bias is in full flow here. The whole ‘lazy’ shit is coming back, and wholly unjustified. What I watched today was a team of 11 who were all completely unaware of what their roles were. An 11 who were underprepared , with some (DJ, Browne, Diaby) asked to play in me positions. Storey and Lindsay were asked to play as a 2, which was always going to fail. All were lost, all were at see and the confusion of what to do was obvious. Some of the ‘doesn’t want to get injured’ comments are pathetic. The lad has been with us 7 years. Have any of us seen him thunder into a 50/50? No. It’s not his game! His hesitancy today appeared to me to be about not knowing when to press, when to follow the man with the ball, when to pass his man on and track a runner.

Scapegoat.

Not discounting your comments about the rest of the performance - there was definite confusion about what to do and when to do it as a collective. Completely agree that there was more wrong than just DJ today and that he's also not the type of player to "thunder into a 50/50" like Pearson was, obviously.

But the moment I mentioned in my post wasn't even a 50/50, not even close. It was 100% his if he wanted it, all he had to do was manage to go a little faster than a jog and he didn't even do that.

Call me cynical if you like, but I find it hard to believe that a player who's played in the Championship for 7 years and has around 300 games under his belt in his career didn't think for himself and realise that if he didn't nip in there, to stop us losing the ball about 40 yards from our goal when we're already losing heavily and getting battered, that it wouldn't end well.

If I was on the pitch playing for a side getting embarrassed, the last thing I would do is give anyone watching any reason to doubt that I'm trying my absolute hardest to get a grip of things.
 
D.J. hes already left in his head!!! Sooner his body follows the better! Contrarily i dont get the anger dircted at Alan Browne, always puts in a shift nearly always filling in, playing out of position most games, gives his all, chips in with goals, would walk into most sides in this league and by playing him in his correct position we might see the former player we seem to have taken the shine off!!!!!
 
Was utterly woeful again today. But cheering a player off doesn’t sit right with me, especially one that’s offered as much to us as Johnson has. Especially when there’s 11 others on the pitch who are equally bad but get away without the same response.

McCann was little boy lost and marking thin air again yet fans complained about his substitution. Fans chanting the passion merchants name. Maybe DJ just needs to try Hollywood balls and stupid challenges, that seems to be enough for our fans to think you’ve played well
