A lot of focus pre-match on Palmer's lack of form and goalless streak, so you can be absolutely certain what will happen on Tuesday.

Looks like he's in line for the Rangers job. How much will they offer for Manning, Wood, Fraser and Downes?

Jack Stephens half fit would've been better than him.

Juric isn't the problem, the players are. He'd get us promoted next season very easily and with better players would keep us up. I'd say the same with Martin, but he was heavily influential in the recruitment and so I blame him for this mess more than anyone. Until we remove a lot of the squad, the same problems will continue to exist. We need a new team.

He looked good against Ipswich, so fair to assume he's above average for Championship level. Just hope he can do it on a cold Tuesday night at Stoke

One of the closest away games for me, so one comfort is I'll be tucked up in bed soon after they've done with us. It'll be a horror show, especially if you add in Maresca's record against us (4-1, 5-0 and 5-1).

Sheffield United recovered just fine.

Somewhat refreshing honesty. Martin would've blamed the fans or snapped at the reporter.

Indeed. He is 100% top of my list of staff I want sacked.

Juric has been successful in the top flight in Italy but has failed to recognise that this lot are absolutely fucking useless who need to be treated as such. Rusk got that, hence the diabolical performance at Fulham (but one that yielded one of our few non-losing performances).

This summer is a great opportunity to have a mass clear out, we need to sign at least 15 new players for the start of next season and get a proper squad in. This lot are fucking useless who cannot understand basic tactics.

The one thing which is really noticable is just how much Brentford run, and how fast they are, both on and off the ball. Compare that to our slow, ponderous style under Martin. How did he ever think that would be successful in the Prem??

I suspect Leicester might be where we get that third win of the season...

It would be nice to at least not lose at home. 1 win and 1 draw is utterly pathetic.

In the brief times we've seen Stewart he's looked pretty good, I'd say just forget about this season and focus on him having an injury-free pre season. This all started when Martin rushed him back too soon at the start of last season.

Juric presumably saw Smallbone's performance on Saturday and relented

Brighton are one of the few teams (4 to be precise) who haven't beaten us (yet) They also have the dubious honour of having the worst result of the season, so that's something they have over us. Flynn Downes to score the winner and do a Boufal like celebration in front of Juric.

Exactly. If we had been successful and Juric was pissing off the players then it would be a red flag but we're not, so the fact some players have effectively downed tools just shows you about their overall mentality, whilst others have stepped up. This is why I wouldn't be so against Juric still being here for next season.

I'm a bit annoyed that after praising MLG he didn't pick me up on my spelling error

The fact Martin couldn't get the best out of him, even in the Championship, says it all about why in hindsight we should've binned him off after the play off final.

Thank you Russell Martin for that one, twat.

Yeah Juric said he needed a rest. Imagine the team that started the second half will be the XI against Brighton, unless THB is back.

MLG is right on this. Dragon should have been more hands on right from the very start, and hopefully with this new DOF we will be far more ruthless in the transfer window and bin off most of the squad.

We are far more competitive, we actually look a threat going forward. Defensively the issues are still there and that's because the players aren't very good. I'd be inclined to stick with Juric tbh, he has a proven track record of delivering at the top level with smallish teams, and ship out most of the current team.

We were OK in the second half. First half was utterly useless stuff. I still feel we are much more competitive under Juric, we just need to give him the players.
