How is Martin returning even a rumour, must be Martin himself getting his name about. Spors in the man responsible for appointing he has already failed with Still he's not going to ruin himself further by appointing a failed manager again. Imagine he gets appointed and we lose a few games straight away, it'll be absolutely toxic. I reckon he would get a period of 2 minutes until the insane passing backwards and having the players lose it on the edge of the box again would just get booed. We would also have to sack him if he got us up as he is a complete failure at that level as already proved.

I like Will, he had a decent record abroad but clearly the job here was far too big for a young manager without the staff he had before. Even then you need someone strong to manage these pathetic idiots. Spors was supposed to come in and sort us out, but he is just another disaster and should take the full responsibility for the mess. He hired the manager and failed miserably to get a goalkeeper and a striker that everyone knew we needed. It would be nice to be able to give a manager some time but he looks lost and out of his depth now and I'm sick of losing or drawing against shit teams, this season was supposed to be enjoyable not worse than the shit show of the PL. Who can we even get who can sort this out is my big concern. But I don't think Will can turn it around so we are just fucked again.

I did wonder if he was just told he couldn't have another as they bought downs, and he didn't want to rock the boat publically? Or he was incredibly naive to think he had a balanced strike force or Stewart would ever be fit! It sounded all throughout the window that Spors was deciding what was needed. Clown show from all of them in the striker situation either way as has been for years!

I think we should give him plenty of time tbh, it's been shit for a long time I think the squad make up is just broken. Having a proper couple of strikers we'd be doing very well I think. But we don't do he needs to find something that works, I don't think sticking to this formation is helping. It's clear we have got a mistake in us so we may as well play with more attacking players? Although we have created a ridiculous amount of chances without scoring. Even then if you go 4321 you still have to suffer AA as the lone striker which he's shit at or archer. Anyone both shit Jelert Wood Quarshie Wellington Downes Charles azaz Fellows AA leo Might work better, or you can go with experience with Mads, Stephens and THB, Manning at the back, still mistakes waiting to happen either way. Cant see how any other manager isn't going to have just the same problems. Ivan Juric is doing ok so far at Atalanta... Although having lots of shots and not scoring enough from the looks of it! If we had signed a proper goalkeeper, a DM and even just 1 proper striker I don't think we'd be in the current mess. If Stewart didn't predictably get injured we would probably have beaten Swansea.

How has McCarthy still not learnt not to pass it stupidly across his box, he had plenty of time to not be an idiot and hit it upfield. Positive performance though, just idiot nonsense at the back as usual so annoying.

For me he's only had 1 game with the final squad and it was a unique game compared to the rest. So not a major panic yet, even though the first 4 weren't great the away points were okish. Got to win the home games! He's got to get the attack sorted now, hopefully we'll see an improvement in the next couple of games, he's got the wingers in so no excuses now. Just really could do with winning the next 3 and setting off some momentum.

The Sunderland manager managed L'Orient and got them relegated from ligue 1 and just took Sunderland to the Premier League. So I see no reason Will Still who had better success in Ligue 1 can't do that with us. I'm quite excited by his appointment.

I don't think we'd even meet them in the playoffs at this rate, Norwich will turn them over!

Always felt Ralph leaving was just a bit of a weird situation. He was let down by not having a striker, when we had Ings and that period where Broja was scoring it was great. Clearly being let down and having to battle the lowering quality of the squad just wore him and us down. It's got no better since because the squad has got worse and worse and obviously the cluster fuck of mad Nate and stupid Selles experiment. Loved him as manager but he wouldn't fix this mess now the squad is nowhere near what he would need for his system.

Lazy, doesn't want to be here clearly why bother with him? Talented as he is, without the effort he is a waste of time. Should be playing amo-ameyaw over this clown.

I don't think we have that good of a squad for this division, the transfer window was abysmal. We have got some really talented players but overall squad for this division seems a mess. Sunderland and tonight we've just been bullied, Ipswich had no problem flying into tackles and stopping us, and doing lots of little fouls to stop us. Sunderland constantly fouled us any time we got near them with the ball. We seen to lose any 50/50 get tackled super easy which then leads to someone running through and not getting challenged and they score. We have an attack that failed miserably in the Premier League and is no better now, Adams and Armstrong are pathetic strikers. We need some muscle and destroyers in the side who are ready to fight teams in this division, we just look weak and pathetic hence the steam rollings we have been getting. As for Martin, I was on the fence until he put Aribo in midfield... only a moron would do that with the other options we have.

Wasn't expecting a discount at all, thought they'd just go you have more games! Fine by me looks good at £21 a game.

Tough call between AMN and Moi, but AMN slightly sledges. Feel like Moi tries but he is just a terrible footballer. AMN doesn't try and is terrible. As for Bazunu, whilst he has been awful, he has had an absolutely terrible defence in front of him destroying any confidence he did have. Not good for a young goalkeeper. Probably helps him seeing how many goals we have still conceded with the terrible McCarthy in goal...

Yup will be renewing just as have done for the last 21 years. Hopefully we'll have a clear out and get a good manager in and some strikers. Take the good times and the bad. If I see Elyounoussi ever on the pitch again I may regret that, he sums up everything that is wrong with the squad, can't pass, can't create and can't score.

Embarrassing, but not that surprising we could easily have lost the last EFL cup games against lower league that we barely got through. Can we even blame any of the managers now? This squad is appalling, there is no ability to create anything from open play. We have a bunch of players who can barely control the ball, can't pass 5 yards to their own player and definitely put anything dangerous into the box. Let alone having any striker who could finish even if they could! Going down we'll need to sell most of the team and start again or we are going to be going further down.
