Any thoughts on Guilherme? Didn't appear to do a lot at the weekend, but WHU fans seem to rate him highly?

Fair point. Carrick been in there a lot longer with few resources constantly around playoffs though

I'm not sure Rohl is the answer. What's he ever done beyond managing a mid table Championship team to mid table results. Rusk is doing okay but surely isn't the answer either. Russ isn't happening...we had great spirit but we're not fit and almost blew it. Rosenior you could say the same as Rohl... not really delivered anything major. But maybe more experienced and his progress in France means he has more about him than Rohl. Cooper is probably the most proven (maybe not best or guaranteed) option on paper I'd say, but I'd be happy to give Rohl a go and see how we start. Would hate Gerrard, Lampard seems to be doing okay. Carrick and Latte Lath could work.

533? Ffs. When will we get a manager who picks his best team, consistent spine of the team, playing best players in their best positions.

Anyone know why Doŵnes isn't playing? Didn't hear anything in the pre match press conference I don't think?

No doubt the squad isnt good enough, but the manager isnt helping the team as far as I can see. His first couple of matches he made it simple, but now it feels like there is no spine to the team whatsoever, and we continue playing players out of position, without even mentioning the man to man thing. I would just love a simple, straightforward approach where we play our best players, in their best positions, work hard and take things simply.

Thought he did okay tonight. However, coming round to the view there Juric is yet another joker. Bree and Aribo CB with Smallbone CM? How hard is it to appoint a manager who will put our best players in their best positions and play simple football. Deary me.

He definitely looked more Radhi Jaidi than Michael Johnson. But 18months with no football was never going to help. He could do worse than play twice a week in the championship alongside Edwards or Wood against the Kieffer Moores and Joel Piroes of this world.

Agreed. What a useless gopher he was (the reporter not Gav)

Ipswich spending another 5m on Palmer. Their net losses must be seriously racking up this season. I can't remember a material player sale they've made for a number of seasons.

Almost had a last man red. Almost.

Old Kenny McKenny sour grapes, we were the best team blah blah. Spent 170m, going down, and didn't deserve anything from our past 2 meetings. Suck it up you bad loser and look at yourself.

Wasn't able to watch, but thank God!!! Did we deserve it??

Does anyone have any idea of he is nearing training?

This was my last trip to Notts Forest - a similar scoreline tomorrow would be nice! "Hooters" near the ground beforehand was pretty decent https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/16453735

Agree we probably might as well cash in on TP, we didn't really use him when he came on and doesn't really fit what we seem to be doing. IF we had a fit Downes and Charles to bring in for Les and Aribo we may have faired better.

That's my big issue. You're a sub, you're fresh legs, be mobile, harass, press, close down. But why so casual and pedestrian? Does my head in.

Sorry but I'm with others on Smallbone. He doesn't even have the ability to sprint on the press.

Must be. They have literally sold nobody. They have spent about 160m now. And made a loss of 5m in the previous season I believe. Maybe banking on selling Delap

Wood has been okay, but can't be long till ABK gets a go. Maybe Taylor/Manning and KWP for Suga. Arma is a weak link. Other than that we looked good.

I think we played really well! Tall Paul is a revelation and so much more than a target man. Frankly it's criminal we haven't played him so far, where people have been creaming one off about Delap, we've been trying Diaz etc. So stubborn. I don't think I could pick out a weak link beyond Arma who is very limited. Would prefer Archer or even Sulemana there. I know Sulemana was carp when he came on tho. All in all, feel if we made the change after Bournemouth we might have stood a chance. But sadly it feels a bit far fetched now, and a great performance is fine, but zero points gained. Aribo looks like he is still in possession recycling mode. Thought Les and Paul were the standout positives. Maybe we can do it!

Hmmmmm Moyes odds have shifted loads havent they. Maybe a 6 month thing like we did with Hughes would be a good shout.

Yep, Lesley < Charles

Corberan and Rohl really don't float my boat. What's the point. They're not going to keep us up and will have half a season of scar tissue to recover from before they start the job they're capable / intended to do which is compete in the championship. Neither of them have any credentials in terms of getting out of the championship either. Not saying I have the answer but these two feel lazy and underwhelming- it's like confirming relegation acceptance and then going again in the champ with someone unqualified in securing promotion

I reckon it was blatantly a clause where promotion triggered a contract review/extension.
