Surprising inclusion today; would anyone of our previous managers have played him today over Downes? Felt sorry for him after the Blackburn fiasco; thrown into a game he had no place being in, but absolutely outstanding today. Fantastic to see another option developing nicely.

Sounds like a permanent shift being dressed up as temporary.

You think Stephens had a say in the squad going up against NJ? My god, we're now making stuff up to get in a dig against a player who wasnt even here 🤣 Christ, get real mate.

Hm, I'm not so sure on that point; the only players still here from the NJ era are Gavin Bazunu, Joe Aribo, Alex McCarthy & Adam Armstrong. Stephens wasn't here at the time, as he was out on loan at Bournemouth. The rest of our squad have since joined afterwards.

Didn't they "sell out" in the summer? Where have they suddenly found the extra allocation for this? 🤣

Pretty sure it was reported somewhere that it was Dragan personal decision to sack him, yeah.

Because that was the 1st time he'd been asked about it? 🤣

Very much a general feeling that is amplifying with every poor decision they make. I cannot stand them, and what they've done to our club.

Sport Republic, get out of our club.

Christ, we've had some dross over the years haven't we.

Wasn't there a bit of a power struggle that summer, between the old guard and the new guard?

If Rodgers is in the running, I'd take that hands down. Can't imagine him putting up with the shit from SR though.

SR won't allow that.

SR need to fuck off.

Twat & Twatter

Give me someone like Tony Mowbray over Eckert, or another random hipster type appointment no-one has heard of. Those players need some old-school management.

100%. The pricks.

And what impact did he make? 🤣

You can't say something that might have happened if we hadn't got relegated is a benefit to us 🤣 Where in the press did he state that, out of interest? Be interested to see his exact wording, and what was asked. I do agree with you, however, that its unrealistic to think we can just click our fingers and he'd come here over RB Leipzig just because he's part of the ownership group.

If its Martin again, I'm done with this club, and they will not get any more money out of me until he (and SR) have left.

So, we criticise players for not having a voice ... and we also criticise players for having a voice? Appreciate there's probably a very fine line, but from what I've heard, any form of dissent was not appreciated by Ralph. Ralph fell out with & binned off anyone who spoke up and could think for themselves. Bertrand, Ings, Forster, Bednarek etc

Oh god, I bloody hope we lose our next 2. What we don't need is yet another SR masterclass in left field, rogue appointments.

4 wins in 51 games now. Amazing it's taken this long to turn, to be honest.

Probably. That's what our fanbase has been good at, the last 18 months or so. Good to see fans finally starting to turn and give this players what they actually deserve.

Our side from administration would fucking anilihate our current crop of shite.
