I think most are resigned to sports republic sticking with Russell regardless of what happens. There's no doubt in my mind he'll relegate us.

Every pundit pretty much says the same thing about how we play.

Getting Russell's excuses in early?

Yes. They are.

This was described as a very important game and this is what we've served up. No excuses today.

Stoke City's reserves 😂

Haha

He played left side but he wasn't instructed to hug the touchline. He can also play centrally which we haven't tried yet. If we utilise him properly, he'll score more than Armstrong.

Brereten-Diaz - 20 Premier League appearances 6 goals Armstrong - 74 Premier League appearances 4 goals I think BBD is far more likely to score goals at Prem level if we can find a way to utilise him properly.

Tbf he's only been utilised as a winger.

Get Brereten-Diaz on. Hopefully he can get a goal and build some confidence. Far more likely to find form in the Prem than Armstrong is if he's properly utilised.

Yes they should be capable. So why aren't they? They're not that bad compared to Stoke City reserve players.

Against Stokes B team? Not a valid excuse.

Ipswich concede at the death. 4-3 to Brentford.

Great goalkeeping from Ramsdale. Imagine if Bazunu was in goal for that 😂

Are we hoping to nab a goal or keep it at 1-0?

Armstrong on for Dibling has weakened us.

You don't have to participate if you don't want to but events such as these serve as a reminder of the sacrifices taken by those that came before us. Wars effect generations. People alive today grew up as orphans or with traumatised parents as a direct result of the war. I really don't like language like "poppy shite" it just shows a real lack of class and respect.

Not a bad half given the oppostion. Could have been a lot worse. Having said that, our fitness levels seem well off at this level and City haven't left 1st gear yet so I'm still expecting a 4-0 or so.

Really poor delivery from Manning and now we've passed it back into our own half

Effective at leading the second best squad in the league to fourth.

How shit are we 😂

Letting Alcaraz go was a travesty.

Leaving us to fall to inevitable relegation under Martin would just be negligence. I'd take any alternative that involves putting players in their correct positions and not playing tika taka in our own box. Any manager that does that would be an immediate improvement.

Because he knows his stock is still high. He might have turned offers down due to receiving his pay off from Chelsea, but he's been approached by Ajax and OGC Nice and there's every chance he could also be offered the West Ham job in the near future. Palace, Wolves and even Leicester, with their stronger squads, would also be more attractive propositions. Ultimately, we need someone that's willing to be a Championship manager.
