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....

We just aren't good enough. We are trying hard, but we just aren't good enough. Relegation is looking more and more inevitable.

**** easy for them. good night off for them,

We play predictable passing football which causes no danger for the opposition. Nothing unpredictable, quick and skillful, nothing whatsoever. It is easy for them to watch and just wait until we get too close and step in to our predictable flow. Why waste energy chasing us around the pitch?

Dominated posession pretty much. Losing 2-0. Still ****e in defence, just like we've been all season. No money, no hope I guess.

Kelvin Davis, player of the season already I'm happy with the point. We couldn't expect more. The important thing now is to start scoring and winning at home. But with the current crop of strikers I just can't see it happening. Robertson is a waste of space (when i've seen him at least) and has done nothing since the, apprarently fluke, wonder goal. I'd rather see Patterson being given regular start ahead of him. We need goals. 0-0 draws won't keep us up...
