No - I'm the fourth WUM.
No way can Freedman be blamed for today's result.
Went to the game expecting to get stuffed, but we weren't and if we had a decent midfield we'd have murdered them.
Dougie has defended Lonergan, but it was his stupid mistake that cost us a point and I would expect him to be dropped next game as he deserves it.
However, the real culprit today was Spearing and to a lesser extent, Mavies - in fact of the midfielders only Pratley and Medo put a shift in.
I agree change is needed, but it should be the players not the manager. The likes of Eagles have been trading on past glories for way too long and we need a manager who is willing to offload them at the earliest opportunity and replace them with midfielders that can offer an attacking threat and close down the opposition properly. Freedman won't get ripped off in the market as our recent managers have been and he knows what the real problem with our club is, so he should be allowed to get on with it. It will take time and will test our patience but unless we get new investment in the club (which isn't likely) that's what we've got to go through.
