In fairness: Wright, Baker and Hegeler all injured who'd be ahead of Kelly at CB. 

Fair enough...........but he's had a week to get in a specialist centre back on loan, the little fella needs to be pro-active and less re-active [just basically wake the F✵✵k up].......else it'll be back to The Shire for him

Sorry but this line up is embarrassing. 

We have a billionaire owner. £23m in the green from the summer. And we have Pisano at LB & Kelly at CB, as well as a winger up front. Paterson still starting games too.  

Joke

Another centre back should have been signed certainly. Yet I don't recall any clamour for that from the fans.

Which wouldn’t necessarily have been the correct decision. In fact, had he been sacked the season before last and the new man had come in and guided us to the league cup semis and an 11th place finish,  everyone who have said it was the right decision to get rid of him. The club’s faith has been rewarded with three seasons of league position improvement under Johnson. An inconvenient truth for some.

Not to say he’d survive another bad run if this continues - I think he’d be gone, and I would be fine with that. The feast and famine can’t continue forever.

Guided us to an 11th place finish?

Like the guy who guided his plane onto the Hudson?

Guess you didn’t read the threads then

That didn't happen until after the injuries struck. We sold 2 centre backs and sent another on loan, LJ said Kelly wasn't ready to play there so we were left with 4 injury prone players for the 2 positions.

Once Webster was signed I don't recall any cries for us to sign another despite the risk that we would end up in this position.

Some of us did but I agree the majority just believe what any old nonsense is fed to them but I’m not the manager and if he didn’t think what could happen then well it’s flabbergasting

At last Pato off and it's COD that comes on, Dasilva on for Hunt. Eisa and Eliasson ignored. Might as well give up all hope now.

Given the game is pretty much done it was an ideal chance to give Eisa some game time. Decisions of a man under pressure.

I am actually grateful for the role LJ has done and I would accept that, over 3 seasons, he has established us as a Championship club and brought us some very positive memories. But it's now 8 months (admittedly 'only' 6 months of football) since we last played consistently well and, so far this season, I'm struggling to see the evidence we have learned any lessons or put improvements in place from last season and he is in danger of undoing all the good work he has done.

I don't think LJ has done anywhere near as bad a job as some have made out and, all in all, if he went now then he would have been a broadly successful appointment but I just don't see any reason to believe he can take us further, or indeed arrest the run of poor form we have experienced since January. It's early in the season - and perhaps some would say too early in the season to judge - but I just don't see what he is going to do differently this season that will produce improved results. I hope I am wrong but I just feel that, much like the last week of Cotts in the role, it is just sitting through poorer and poorer results until a change is finally made.
