Saint Matty 76

No idea what he’s like these days but we needed something with Charles injury. An actual leader on the pitch as well. Miracle.

Eckert to win and inexplicably get the job, Selles style.

I think it'll be Carrick. I seem to remember Carrick was ultimately fired because Middlesbrough stagnated and played boring football. Don't really think there's a appointment available which is going to be overly exciting.

I wouldn't, to be honest. I'll skip more games than I typically do due to extended travel and the pay-off not being worthwhile, but football is a reason to see friends I likely wouldn't otherwise.

I think he just did!

Didn’t help himself with how he set-up the team but this group of players are so, so poor and have also let him down massively. Had to happen after yesterday but can’t say I’m overly thrilled about the likely prospect of somebody like Carrick. Would’ve been happy with Rohl.

Quite difficult to put a line-up together without a number of players who I actively can't stand. Rather see somebody new get a chance up top as opposed to what we've seen from the other three. McCarthy Roerslev - All CB's are the same level of average/poor - Manning Downes - Jander Fellows - Scienza - Robinson Oyekunle

Can’t believe I travel for these games still. Roerslev is like another centre-back, if you’re going to use this vile system at least start Fellows there. Big changes and a big reaction at half-time otherwise I can’t see the point coming back for this moving forwards. Not all Still but doesn’t do himself any favours with this vile set-up.

Hoping for Scienza - Azaz - Fellows behind a striker today.

Impressive! I doubt they do anything before the next two favourable home games. Seriously poor though. Deserves to go.

If we don’t beat these comfortably then we really are in trouble. Absolute shite.

Bristol City seem a bit more open than other teams we've played recently. Time to get Fellows and Azaz on to see why we spent the money.

He is quite simply worse and does not win headers.

Ah shocking from Wood. Same old same old.

Shea Charles is seriously, seriously good. Lovely finish.

Brilliant touch by Arma and then ruins it all by not playing it into Archer, stupid.

Scienza is a nice bit of entertainment. Can't see much outside of us getting picked apart on the counter, however.

Why the fuck is Fellows not starting? Baffled.

Needs to find a way of getting Azaz and Archer to work together, with Fellows and one of Robinson/Scienza/Armstrong on the other side. Without that I think his job will go pretty quickly. Downs clearly isn't close to ready for the role.

Don't need to keep beating the dead horse on the disaster of signing off on the deal in the first place, but it's even more of a shame to have seen a glimpse of his true quality for the first time before this has happened again. Desperately unlucky guy.

Thanks for being two of our better attackers to start the season Archer and Robinson, here are no more minutes.

Fuck sake man. This guy is never going to get going Get Archer on instead of Downs for the love of god

Kinhell, that could’ve easily been red

Great start! Let’s hope we can get one of those 5-0 batterings we had last time around. Can’t remember the last time we won a game by 2 goals in the league? Play-off semi?

Nicest bit of football all year! Stewart with a lovely lay-off.
