    Does anyone still want Shaw as the new boss?

    Shaw potentially could do a job (3 games in charge isnt enough to say one way or the other) but we are not in a position in my opinion to take such a risk. There is no such thing as manager who will definitely improve our situation but we have to stack the odds in our favour and get someone with...

    Match thread - Burton (can't see any others)

    They've left 5 first team out from last game. I'm also watching the British Bake Off. Nice moist Torte.

    since 1990

    My first season was 77/78 with Wallace and Ferguson up front. I dont remember much as I was only a kid just snap shots really but over the years its been pretty lame with the odd season here and there and a few great one off results. The problem is all those years in Division 1/Premier bar the...

    Chris Wilder

    If it is true then so be it. I have no feeling one way or the other. He could be great or the worst we've ever had, but that could said for any appointment we make. I'm always sceptical with fans choices anyway as they usually turn out to be terrible. Lets just see what happens. Everyone still...

    Atmosphere aroundthe club and directed at players

    I agree entirely with what you say but I think in the main our supporters are pretty tolerant and some of the booing and abuse dished out (I do neither in the main) is pretty tame. If a lot of other clubs around the country had been on the kind of run of form over the last decade that we'd been...

    Atmosphere aroundthe club and directed at players

    Yes the level of tolerance for poor quality football is now wafer thin. We have a good wage budget for league 1 and so I expect not just results but higher quality play than the majority of opponents can provide and that our higher than most wage budget dictates. I haven't seen it other than the...

    Chris Wilder

    I have absolutely no idea if this would be a good appointment or not. The problem with this whole manager lark is that just because youve done well at one club doesn't mean you'll do well at the next and vice versa. You pays your money and take your choice and it either works or it doesn't. It...

    Plastic Saints fans

    Dont kid yourself. We've not had decent support for decades and if we ever get back to the top flight we would still only scrape 20k with larger crowds when the top five or six came round, same as ever. I remember various games at home where we would only get 9k in the Premier so whats going to...

    Things I Have To Vent!!!!

    Don't get me wrong I understand what you're saying but you can go to every ground up and down the land and hear supporters getting pissed off when the team plays shit. Its part of football and it doesn't stop all these teams doing a bloody sight better than our bunch of no hopers. Its another...

    Thorn having to manage team inherited from CC/AB????

    Yes, Thorn scouted him and claimed he was the best, played him when he first became manager, then realised his mistake, never really played him again. So either Thorn doesn't know his own mind or the players that have left ie Keogh and Cranie are in Thorns opinion better than Wood and he is now...

    Which team? Last season or this season?

    Okay, but joint top scorer last season from midfield in a harder league than we are in now, isnt a bad return for in your opinion such a poor player. Does Kilbane offer the same goal threat from the left?

    So Do All Teams Need Time to Gel?

    All of that makes perfect sense but I dont think that's the issue. We in the main so far are failing at the basic stuff. Passing, movement, effort and desire. These have got nothing to do with the magical gelling process and upon completion, telepathic understanding is fused into the DNA of the...

    So Do All Teams Need Time to Gel?

    So am I. I was there and defensively we were all over the place at times. 3 of the back four have been at the club a while and it looked like we needed a few more seasons of gelling.

    Good, bad or indifferent start?

    Yes apparently the bar has been set. Must be the national limbo championships he was talking about. I'm disappointed as we've not played well over all and should have closed out the game on Tuesday to get all 3 points. This season feels very similar to last with a lot of ifs and maybes but not...

    Which team? Last season or this season?

    Macca isn't as good as he once was but to say Fleck has more potential that Macca ever had is again a bit unfair and easy to say. When Fleck gets to the Premier League he will have caught up with Macca. I still think he can do a better job on the left side than Kilbane can and just because he...

    So Do All Teams Need Time to Gel?

    And look how poorly the defence played as a whole. Perhaps they need more time to gel?
