I would normally say don't be so silly but I think it's clear there are some issues with Downes. Totally ridiculous challenges knowing you're a yellow away from suspension.

Watched the majority and can't say I was impressed by them at all. Yes they improved in the second half but play like we have been and it'll be another win. It'll be interesting to see their game plan against us. Do they put men behind the ball or press us? Can't imagine it'll be the latter given how we took Charlton apart last weekend.

Yep. £6.5m is a lot to throw away in this division. Tbf the rest of the signings have been decent enough but we really needed the CF one to be a hit and it's been the complete opposite.

Not even an apology. Not a good look at all. Bin this guy off in January please.

Pretty sure TE said he's a couple of weeks away. Imagine he'll be back just in time for the Christmas period.

Very similar players. Manning is better in a 3-5-2 or whatever as there's less defending to do. I do think he stands off players because he knows he's not very fast. Either that or he just doesn't know how to defend. Having said that he's proving a real threat going forwards so it's swings and roundabouts.

You've got to feel for him. Comes off the bench, plays well and scores an absolute worldy then hasn't seen a minute since.

Baz; Quarshie, Wood, THB; Manning, Bragg, Jander, Fellows; Scienza, Azaz, Armstrong. Hopefully we'll finally see Romeu on the bench.

Not sure why we've got to put Aribo in the bench ahead of him. Aribo doesn't look interested at all and seems very slow on the ball.

It's obvious what he's going to do but the opposition can't stop him.

Well Leo has spoken. Give the man what he wants.

A point at least away at Millwall and surely he will get it. It's just inevitable though that we will appoint him permanently and start losing.

Leicester totally shut up shop so an unsurprisingly boring second half. No need to break sweat for us given the amount of games coming up. Perfect evening.

Jander is quality isn't he

Don't get me wrong, getting to a cup final was great. The league campaign was ok but the football was dire. To not qualify from that group in the Europa League was appalling.

What is this obsession with saying people think he's shit?

He's clearly one of those players who isn't going to play well every week. Not on the level of Scienza for example but he's clearly got a lot of technical ability.

Downs has shown on more than one occasion that he can't score tap ins, or score at all for that matter.

Yeah Mavididi and Fatawu usually tear us apart. The problem is we've got Manning who makes it even easier for them.

Doubt it, they seem to be getting the Man City treatment.

To be fair whilst initially against it, IF he gets 4 or more points from Leicester and Millwall then you'd have to say he probably deserves the job until the end of the season. From where we were, 13 or more points out of 15 would be pretty impressive. Leicester really aren't all that. As someone else mentioned, they are sort of grinding results out but as Blackburn showed a few weeks ago, you can certainly get at them. If we play like we did today then we will win, no trouble.

The lack of experience we currently have in major coaching roles is quite something.

Trollope gone then. Ben Reeves first team coach. Deary me. Lallana temporarily Under 21s head coach. What a mess.

5 at the back guaranteed then given we don't have a right back fit. Shame Romeu isn't up to speed yet.

McCarthy, Roerslev, THB, Wood, Manning, Jander, Downes, Fellows, Azaz, Scienza, Armstrong. Probably a bit too early for a Romeu start. Will obviously be Baz in goal though and 3 at the back with Fellows as wing back again.
