Its funny how his record for the last 8 games was W2 D1 L5 but you missed off the defeat to make him look better. Look, Black did okay and his record of W12 D4 L10 is respectable. If he could have maintained that level throughout a whole season,which is doubtful as his last 8 games showed...

Yes I'm afraid it reads a bit like Ecuadors FIFA world ranking

Eric Black was as hit and miss as the rest. We attacked and scored goals so everyone was happy but towards the back end of the season he went on a run of W 1 D 1 L 5. The bubble had burst so to speak. Even though he won his last 2 games I think he was always going to lose as many as he won which...

I don't really agree with that and all good goalkeepers berate the defenders. Its hard to blame a goalkeeper for our team playing rubbish. He certainly wasn't to blame for either goal yesterday.

I think you're over complicating it. We are not talking about fractions here between elite performers we are talking about Wood and Shroot both being on the ground for their first goal. One getting up and running with some intent to join the attack and one jogging back. It looked like Usain Bolt...

Its not fitness. First goal yesterday bearing in mind we are not talking about the 85th minute here. Barton loses ball, does he run to get it back or keep up with play? No. Wood then dives in like a school boy, does he turn to run for all he's worth to get back? No, he jogs back thinking I...

First home game against Sheff Utd, piss poor first half with absolutely no desire, ability etc. How can you put it down to belief in the first game?? I could understand it after a bad run but its the first game.

I must be the unluckiest guy in the country as quite clearly everytime Barton is doing something dynamic I've got the head in my hands and keep missing it. I suppose a rolling ball is dynamic so perhaps you are talking about those quality square passes he keeps playing.

Yes its almost a certainty. We have played 8 games this season and only played well bar the odd 20 minutes in 1 of them. I'm sorry but if you are good at something then this cant be possible. Especially a team game where a collective ability and desire should pull the team through even if one or...

Barton lost the ball for their first goal and didn't even even make an attempt to try and win it back, he also lost his man in the box for their second goal. This has nothing to do with fitness and is all about determination. Barton is the kind of player who will show the odd nice touch here and...

Well, Andy..er...well...er...we go again...Thorn has left us the legacy of a team of feeble under achievers and for that I will be forever grateful.

Bloody hell, so many potentials in the crowd, once the appointment is made its gonna knock 50 off the gate straight away. If we could get them to start singing it could really add to the atmos.

I think the problem is we've been starved of watching good players for so long when a new player comes in makes a couple of passes and has a shot this classes as good game. Barton and Jennings have had an okay game between them in the league and that's the reality. I think we've forgotten what...

It was a tactical change. We went 4-3-3. The only problem was McGoldrick played on the left and I'd rather he stayed in the middle and it should have been Kilbane going off not Hussey

Elliots done pretty well for me. He works the channels very well and presses and has found the net. I think its the service finding him that's the problem.

We are a football club not a philanthropic society

I think I'd do pretty well for the first 15 minutes and then I'd be so knackered I'd lose the ball and couldn't be arsed to get it back, so I would probably fit in well with this squad.

More like we have a tendency to like a player once they've had a good one.

Ah okay that's the excuse. Well Barton says he feels fine, he's been training now for longer than any preseason and played half a dozen games plus the U21 bits so I expect him to be able slot a decent pass or run beyond our strikers and when you lose the ball to at least run after it.

Any team can raise the bar for a single game. Are you sure this lot will consistently perform for another manager? They've been poor in every game so far apart from Brum. Thats seven poor and one good. all the signs say they're just not good enough.
