Was sacking Robins that dumb? The fan base would not tolerate our form over the last 30 odd games and 8 home losses in 12 from any other manager but Robins. I hold the somewhat contradictory view that a) I wouldn’t tolerate this form from another manager and b) I trusted and believed Robins...

He’s just not a CM at all and is too conservative on the ball. On the positive side, defended well in midfield.

This is a waste of a Saturday. We’re slow in attack and just ridiculously inaccurate in possession. Tragic defending again.

I’d take that too. It’s just not the most likely outcome.

Do you mean Jan 2025 or the start of 2025/26. I don’t like the idea of hiring Lampard and as soon as he hits a rut, the knives will be out. He had 2 good seasons at a Derby, Chelsea and he became a laughing stock.

I don’t agree, not after the performance against Middlesborough and Luton. The loss at Derby wasn’t a one off and pretty much all of our losses have come the same same way. I hate to say it, something is amiss with our tactical approach to the game, we look like England in the Euros without...

It’s the profile of team we were playing. We’ve just not been able to break down defensively disciplined teams for a while now. It was there to see last season and continued this one.

What do you mean by that specifically? The investment in the squad has been there and the results were poor at the tail end of this season when it was AV and MR at the helm. For arguments sake, if we had a manager who joined at the club at the start of 2023/24, we’d probably look at the end of...

Carsley played down the links in the press already.

That isn’t the conspiracy if there is one. Lawrence got a promotion, better wages and closer to home. AV more than likely got sacked for gross misconduct. As for Robins, the results haven’t been good enough for about 20-30 games. There’s too much emotive (and paranoid) POVs being banded about...

That’s a start, what do you mean by that specifically?

We can continue to go back and forth on this… If Trump truly this ugly racist and misogynistic far-right (or even ‘white supremacist’ figure) character, how has he successfully made significant inroads with ethnic minorities and women? It just doesn’t suit the narrative being put forward by...

Didn’t Trump win the Peurto Rican vote and increase his vote say amongst all ethnic minorities? The ‘Trump is a racist’ kinda worked in 2016, but his vote share with ethnic minorities has increased to record levels (GOP standards) in consecutive elections. Trump won the Latino vote so it’s...

Thinking ahead, it gives the chance for a new manager to establish their transfer targets for Jan and summer 2025. It’s a risky move for Doug and if the appointment is underwhelming, it’ll unravel rapidly.

Price controls/caps almost always end in failure. A lot of Americans want jobs, not charity from the federal government - see the difference in the approach from the campaigns? It’s the taxpayer who funds this increase in government expenditure and Harris couldn’t rule out tax rises whereas...

Time will tell who is right and at the end of the day, neither of us live in the states so it won’t impact us directly yet. We survived one Trump administration, I am confident we’ll survive.

When the dust settles, sensible people of the left will come to realise just how bad a candidate and campaign Harris 2024 was. Right now, many people are in the grieving stage of ‘denial’. Trump not only won the electoral college, he swept all the swing states and won the popular vote. In fact...

He sounds like a good manager but in reality, we’re trying to get promoted as a club, presumably. Therefore, why would we hire a manager with no a) 2nd division experience or b) promotion experience.

She had a teleprompter at a town hall and would only appear on sympathetic outlets. Her appearance on 60 minutes and Fox News were disasters - Harris is an expert filibuster. Meanwhile, Trump and Vance appeared on multiple podcasts and that was well received. Harris would only go on there if...

Of the two candidates, I believe Trump is a better candidate and ran a better campaign. Early in the campaign Trump painted inflation as being driven by the Democrats and it cut through. Whenever the candidates were interviewed, Trump was a lot better at articulating his policies whereas...
