We’re not a header from a corner or a free kick away from glory. We’re on the floor and the sum of some awful performances spanning the better part of a year.
I’m not for a moment suggesting Maguire and co have the fortitude of Roy Keane, but i think to question their professionalism when they’re 4-0 down is missing the point of why we’re 4-0 down.
Saying Maguire should be here or certain players should have played instead or those details seems a bit like rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.

How about 1-0 down or 2-0 down and rolling your sleeves up and thinking £#%&! that no more. We were 1-0 down because Shaw £#%&!ed up no one seemed the least bit arsed. As i said 5/6ths club 1/6th players - we really shouldn't be letting them off the hook for their part in this absolute disgrace.
They didn't even go down fighting in the main - utterly passive and accepting.
Just as Ole needs to take responsibility so must they.
