Decided to go to the music stand after the game for a quick chill out before the drive back and walked past the dressing room window. I only realised it was the dressing room window because Steve was absolutely screaming and swearing at his players that much that frankly fans were gathering to listen round because you could hear it meters away. No idea why someone left it open.
Regardless of what he’s saying in post match interviews he’s absolutely trying to deflect and can see exactly what we are all seeing. He’s clearly feeling the pressure.
Apparently they “weren’t f****** good enough”, they “could train them to do things but it meant f**** all if they were just gonna f****** whack it long.” Interesting too that he said that “if they didn’t want to be here and weren’t gonna put in the effort then they could f****** leave”.
Listening to that post match interview was night and day. We weren’t trying to actively find the dressing room but there was about 6 fans hearing this tirade from an open window from practically two meters away. I think it says a lot about what’s going on behind the scenes.

Strange seeing as he laughed at the fans at FT for saying the same thing.

Let's hope this man and his Coaching staff will be gone soon.

Maybe it's just me but none of that is surprising. He's seen his team lose 5 out of 6, I'd be disappointed if he wasn't berating the team.

Don't mind people on 3/4k a week getting some harsh truths.
It's not good enough and too right they should get a ****ing pelting for it.

Would expect this off any manager in our position. It would be much worse if he wasn't going mad.

Let's hope this man and his Coaching staff will be gone soon. Then we get to the other side of the coin. Who would be daft enough to come in who was any good? Can't change the players until January so why change the manager?

What do you think he should have done?

Not sure the players are to blame. The manager just hasn’t built a squad capable of winning football matches.
I don’t think any of the players gave less than 100% today, we just weren’t good enough again.

The goodwill in the bank from last season is rapidly running out

Managers saying one thing in the dressing room and another in post match interviews isn’t a new thing, only difference here is that the fans overheard it this time.

Sounds like SC was implying that we weren’t good enough due to a lack of effort. I’m saying we weren’t good enough because we simply don’t have the quality.

Maybe Steve hasn't put in the effort at the transfer window.
Maybe Roland hasn't put in the effort to get more money into the club.

The OP gives me some hope. 1) He's seeing what the fans are seeing and 2) He's not instructing them to hit it long.

For all we know he could have been trying to soft supportive method all season and today could have been when he finally broke. To me the players don't play like they don't want to be here.

I hope that SC is so unimpressed that he changes things round moving forward.
We can not stick with the same side and formation and need to stop turning the ball over so cheaply.

We need more game time for Daniels, Ogbeta and Whalley and we need to go back to the style of play last season and scr@p for points.

Problem is we are totally stuck with what weve got till over halfway through the season now, barring finding a free agent or two (that will be in short supply).

Problem is we are totally stuck with what weve got till over halfway through the season now, barring finding a free agent or two (that will be in short supply). We are certainly short of numbers, but for me Ogbeta and Bowman need to start and Leahy should not be in the midfield again. (I would prefer Nurse or Bennet.) You could also make a good argument for Whalley and Daniels too. I agree we needed at least another two good players in before the deadline, but I certainly felt that team today lacked any creativity, and we do have players who could provide a little more.
