We should get 3000 at Charlton and Millwall though so that's decent for Saturday London pubs day out

I think QPR fans moaned they were giving away teams more than they had to (10%) so club restricted allocation to just upper tier, even though they hardly ever sell out at home.

They don't . Lower tier already on general sale to home fans, plus loads others available in home end

Yeah QPR is a terrible allocation, probably will sell out today to 10+

Yep we're stuck in a never ending cycle of criticism of SR as we're stuck in a never ending cycle of bad results, same old issues still unresolved

Interesting comparison, I find the whole turning on managers early on a bit odd but I'm quite old school, with the Jones example I remember fans going after him quite early on , just felt weird as I'd known how the club had persued him and persuaded him to leave Luton , was definitely a case where Sports Republic deserved the criticism more than him Anyway good to see Liverpool fans starting to turn on Slot, when they struggled to beat us a couple of weeks ago I thought the writing was on the wall for him

How come? Considering we're playing him , is it another ABK situation? If he's not in Nigeria squad then two weeks for Still to try him out in training again

I don't disagree and yet in the championship I feel he knew what he was doing more than young Mr Still

Forest fans are numpties singing sacked in the morning after a handful of games, would love to see them go down.

When was the last fans protest? When sisa campaigned to wave white hankies after Poch was appointed?

Impressive win today, now got a double header this week vs Pompey, Wednesday night at Eastleigh in the league cup then Sundays trip to Fratton not sure if that's a bubble trip

That tells a story, what does it say about those players ? What does it say about the team who recruited them? Still have one of our highest paid players sat at home doing a jigsaw (Aribo) The wastage is mind blowing

This is it, but you'll still have people saying "but they've spent money" There's no strategy though , they manage to spend money and make us worse.

@CB Fry its all about context where discussion was about giving Will Still until next international break to see if he can turn it around, what would keep him in the job? What have you seen in the opening nine games that makes you think winning four of the next six is realistic? Stewart likely to be out. Who will score the goals? If we can learn to win games 1-0 we might be able to. Well organised championship sides who sit deep, counter, put crosses into the box is our kryptonite One of the games is Sheff Wed at home so you'd hope we could win that one.

I'd like to think any sensible fans don't hate Downs, clearly he's not been very good but criticism should be aimed at hierarchy at the club who decided to sign him and then management team who pick him to play.

Run up to next international break Swansea (H) Bristol City (A) Blackburn (A) Preston (H) QPR (A) Sheffield Wednesday (H) That would take us to 15 played , quite a tough run with just two of those teams below us currently, think we'd need to see at least three wins out of those at a minimum

Agree, it's a myth that keeps being repeated

I don't doubt there is room for improvement but my post explains why our players are not that great in key positions, fans need to start giving other championship teams a bit more respect

And *if* Stewart is injured for a period of time we're pretty much reliant on Downs to lead the line , crazy.

I'm not being obtuse mate, look back at posts on transfer window etc, we can't defend crosses, we don't have a good keeper and are severely lacking on the goal scorer front I go to games and watch with my eyes , just not seeing a team out of this bunch capable of hurting teams. Both our wins should really have been draws , we are easy to play against.

Very disappointing start , we'll drop further tomorrow

Genuinely wonder why people keep saying this, if players were that good we'd be winning despite the manager

I actually think he's worse than Ali Dia

This fixture worth a look in the kids half term

Good 4-1 win v Derby for u21s in awful conditions at St Mary's tonight, having a good season so far, would recommend getting down there to watch them
