My Millwall supporting mate assures me that Ryan Smith has quality but he also has attitude. He doesn't work hard enough so the fans turned against him a bit. He feels he is better than he actually is. Still, its only 6 months..

I am sure both will look great in League 1 next year. We are obviously preparing for that now.

Chez, I like the optimism. But I imagine we'll end up with 18 year old's Joe Bloggs from Wolverhampton Reserves and John Smith from Wycombe Wanderers reserves. Bostock is a rising star, Lita will surely go somewhere else for reasonable money.

A new manager might at least try some different tactics to get the best out of his players, rather than playing the same ****e formation week in week out. One up front with no threat on the opposition goal. He might even keep a steady backline and stop chopping and changing week in week out? Why the F**K is Pearce not starting, for example?

The manager hasn't changed anything for a long long time. He persists in playing the same tactics game after game only changing faces, but its the same formation and same level of motivation each time. Time for a change. But there is simply no way Lowe will back down and admit a mistake. If he does make a change then I imagine he will just shuffle the pack and appoint Wotte, Gorre or Hockaday head coach. We can only hope we go so low down in the leagues that he leaves or gets brought out when we are worth less than 50p.

That is four league defeats on the trot, no win for seven games. Can't see us getting anything against Reading. Unless the manager changes his tactics and starts making the most of the players we've got... nothing will change. Even if he does, it might already be too late. Good job Forest lost.

Playing 2 up front might work better. We might pose more of a threat and take some pressure off the defence?

Ah well. Luck is against us I suppose. Plus we aren't up to the job. Relegation gets closer .. unless we fight back? But who is gonna score? *sighs*

ah well 1-0 down. Maybe we'll have a fight back second half....

I expect nothing from today. Hopefully we'll all be surprised by a draw.

That doesn't look too bad. I'm worried about Lancashire as he's not up to the job most of the time. Thee attacking midfielders is a worry. Robertson is one dimensional rubbish. But, I guess there isn't many other options! Just have to get behind them. We should have pace at least.

"There's Klingons off the starboard Bow. Rupert has lost it. Lowe out!"

I think Lowe has made it clear today he won't be going anywhere anytime soon - he would never go as "easily" as resigning. He is here to stay, be that in the Championship, League 1, League 2 or below.

If we continue to current run, with manager and players, then we won't just be relegated.. we'll finish bottom of the Championship.

How anyone can pick the same useless back 4 we've seen for the last 2 games is beyond me (guess we've got no other options). We ought to play 5-3-2 I reckon. Skacel and James would make good wingbacks, Perry, Peace and Cork would be a good back 3.. right? Midfield and up front picks itself really. Surman, Lallana + defensive midfielder. Finally, Euell and McG up front. Bench for BWP and Holmes.

Given Kelvins age etc I can't see him being worth more than £1m max. He is worth more than that to us... but not to others. The other two would probably go for about £2.5m or maybe £2m with future add-ons based on performance etc?

If Jan goes, we will appoint from within. It'll be Wotte or Gorre next.. Read Wigley and Gray.

Rubbish first half. Brilliant second. If only we could play from the start.. is that the managers fault?

Can't believe it . 3-2!!

Seriously. How can this bunch of players play SO badly? It is as though we simply aren't out there. I'm starting to think it must be Jan.. Why have we loaned so many ****e players? Why didn't we get a few more defenders on loan? That is the core of the problem.. ****e defence.

We can only pray now that the rain comes down so hard the game is called off come on rain! lol

3-0 .. what odds on it being 10?

ah.. just turned on the radio. Game over already? oh. i'll go back to do what I was doing then..

I didn't know Lallana came from the Cherries. I thought he had only been on loan there.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lallana

um.. we aren't even creating chances.. how do you think they will score? I'm sure BWP and McGoldrick wud be fine, if we actually gave them a chance on goal... but, we can't create anything. We need proper wing backs (we've known that since the start of the season) and wingers who can cross....
