Hope we win, I'd like us to chase down Leicester if we can.

If we beat Fulham and they lose at the weekend then it does give us a bit of an incentive going into that game, but it's unlikely. Would be very, very funny though.

Drama Queen!! Coming from you, hilarious

They'd be below us if it wasn't for Steve Cooper

He's found his level. Ankerson's decision to hire him was a catastrophe.

The tactics from Potter was baffling. Took off all their attacking players, Kudus, Bowen etc. which just handed the iniative straight to us. We're bottom of the league, you're 1-0 up, you've got to go for a second goal. Fair play to us for seizing the chance.

Having Downes back is a massive plus tbh. We are a far better team with him in it, even Juric realised that eventually, just way too late.

One more game we can cross off before most of these players become someone else's problem.

The strategy of signing Premier League loan players worked well last time. You would assume teams like Everton, West Ham and Wolves will strengthen and there will be a few players available.

I agree, but I do get the impression that things are going to be different. This season has been a bit of an awakening for everyone.

Yeah I will because I have nothing better to do on Saturdays. Quite a lot of our games won't be at 3pm on a Saturday because of the EFL TV deal so people should bear that in mind when renewing - expect a lot of 12.30 kick offs.

I do agree with manji. SR fucked up. They know it, we know it, everyone knows it. And they've already acted to fix it - Solak taking personal control, Spors coming in and overhauling recruitment, now we need a top class manager (for the Championship). I know this is shit but I am optimistic for next season.

He lost the plot towards the end. I won't forget how he blamed the fans for us losing at Aston Villa because we ironically cheered a long ball from the goalkeeper which supposedly encouraged him.

Wasn't a 3-0 game. Ref was terrible. Villa a better team than us. We will beat West Ham, Fulham and Leicester.

One thing that does strike me is that behind the scenes there are a lot of changes, personally changes which we need to make. Sport Republic have been a disaster but if Spors can clean things up and get a consistent structure behind the scenes, it can only be beneficial. I noticed in the finances published for all the teams in the Championship for the previous season that we were way behind our rivals in commerical revenue earned. I thought Parsons was supposed to be sorting this out?

Last weekend you had us, Bournemouth, Brighton and them all away in London, very strange scheduling.

This in red and white would look pretty good

Exactly. Our owners have already acted - a new technical director, head of recruitment sacked - the two biggest issues, they have already accepted they made a mistake and acted. The players aren't good enough and if they don't try or give up (which they have done on occasions) then they deserve criticism. I didn't see that against Spurs - they were just better than us, as most teams are.

About 1000 tickets left on the ticket website, so bad news for season ticket holders wanting to put their seats on the ticket exchange

Since Ruud came in, yes.

Leicester are going well. 2-0 down already.

They rested quite a few players on Saturday because of their Champions League tie so expect a weakened team from them again. It'll mean we only lose by one or two rather than five or six.

Lampard would be a fine choice as well. And having worked with basket case owners such as at Everton, he'd fit in well here.

To be fair, I think the response (the clapping) was more in reaction to the spirited performance in the second half. If we had lost 4-0 there wouldn't have been the same response. Personally, the overwhelming response (from neutrals) has been positive - that we're loyal, supportive and positive, in the face of everthing. So as a reflection on us, players are more likely to want to join us than say Leicester where there is a negative atmosphere at every game. Abusing the players is pointless. And there are people on here (this isn't aimed at anyone in particular - it's just a general trend I've noticed over the last couple of years) and on Twitter who care way too much about what other supporters do, sing, even what they wear or how they get to games, which is a bit rich if you don't attend that often.
