No amount amount of armchair punditry is going to convince me anyone has a clue how well Lampard would do with this squad. Every appointment is a gamble anyway. People can have their view, but all these unique insights are pretty much worthless. Nobody has a clue how it would pan out.

Seen some batshit takes today. People can be annoyed and sound off, but I've seen everything from 'i'm ripping up my season ticket' to 'hope we get relegated'. I doubt they mean it, but still, steady on, no need to get hysterical. It's a real shame all this, but we go again. DK has taken a...

At what ground in this league would the fans, had their side put in that exact performance in the same circumstances, have roared their side on? Genuine question, I can't think of any. Leeds, perhaps. Where else? Sunderland, they sit on their hands when things are going well and would have all...

I wasn't having pop really, but I've heard it said before that the atmosphere dips when there is a large crowd, which isn't really true. Besides, pretty much exactly the same people who were there tonight were there against Luton, and it was chalk and cheese. Tonight was very much an example of...

Vik, Hamer, McFadz, O'Hare, Palmer - they all had songs you could get behind and bellow out. Now we sing about the biggest dick in the championship. We need a new creative director.

Day trippers with season tickets? This idea that it's better with fewer there is nuts, the best 3 atmospheres last season were Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester and Leeds, the 3 biggest crowds of the season. I noticed the home at atmosphere at Boro on Saturday was much more subdued than recent...

Probably the worst? Have a word, that isn't even close to being true and you know that. If was very flat tonight, but in those few moments where there was some intensity and aggression it immediately lifted. That's the big contrast with the Luton game where the crowd stayed with them because...

Yep, always trying to play the perfect pass. Just throw it in there where you're chasing a game late. Derby were so deep they'd have turned it over to us again anyway and you go again. Some odd decisions all night.

This is the season we're going to have I feel. Resigned to it tbh. We're just one of those up and down sides that the Championship reeks of. We'll have some good days and we'll get turned over plenty. Just going to enjoy match days and those good moments. Could be wrong, hope I am and wouldn't...

It wasn't though. Wednesday fan on walk away from ground saying it was nice to visit a ground with some atmosphere. It's still a cut above most grounds even when it's not bouncing. Just because we're not singing re worked 80s pop songs for 90 mins doesn't mean it isn't noisy. Least of our...

Great to see us play on the front foot. We have such good attacking players and by pressing high and winning the ball high up the pitch we give them the chance to shine. Tonight proved we do have the personnel to do it. Energy and aggression we have barely seen all season, it was great to see...

It's always sounds a bit dramatic to say it's a must win game in October, but it almost has that feel about it. I fear it'll be a poor turn out tonight - actual turn out rather than published - usual dip for night games, general mood, televised, shit weather, road closures - lots of reasons...

Never said were, in fact I explicitly said we're not atm. I was merely asking the question at what point does the fear or prospect of that prompt King to act.

It won't be the lack of a promotion push that does for him, it will be the prospect of a relegation battle. They are altogether different things. The concern is, we are so far off the pace right now in terms of performances, how long is it before that goes from fanciful bed wetting to reality...

I'm willing to give him more time too, but how much of that is based on sentiment? There are many clubs in the this league, of a similar stature, where he'd be packing his bags, because club owners don't tend to be sentimental types. Next two games are vital for him you feel. He has a lot of...

That Watford performance doing a lot of heavy lifting there. We played ok there, but it's not an issue of inconsistentcy, we've been consistently poor all season. A one off cup tie is hardly a good gauge either. Stoke, Bristol City, Norwich, Swansea, today - we look a mile off.

Not sure it will be, assume it is Lati RB and MVE pushed up as per Watford. Could be wrong though.

Trying not to be dramatic, but we look a poor side devoid of ideas and with no identity. Another defeat next week (should it happen) and serious questions will be asked. Has he taken us as far as he can? It's all a bit stale. I would stick at the moment, but it's worrying for sure. Players need...

Some games, especially a cup tie like that, aren't worth picking apart. We showed up, but were undone at the end by a bit of quality and a couple of mistakes. Maybe it's age and a case of seen it all before, but I'm weirdly not that arsed. Had we lost a league game like that I wouldn't have...

I'm talking about match day prices clearly, which are the highest in the division (for kids), which I guess has fueled ST sales which are priced very reasonably, so maybe there is method there.. Besides, a lot of of the hand ringing was about not selling out. Point was made that at those prices...
