about on budget and still early days this season, lets not panic just yet
Click to expand...

On budget is bollocks as no one knows whose spent what. What is certain is the relative spend of some clubs above us is much lower.

What's also certain is the complete lack of attempt at playing entertaining or winning football will mean fans will not be returning in any significant numbers.

Give him another 4 weeks than sack him if it doesn't change.

Unfortunately and managed to get a contract extension even though he is totally useless, I would offer him a pay off to leave today we will hardly miss his goal

Sky "highlights" 40 secs which includes prolonged coverage of their captain getting his 2 yellows! Says it all really - dreadful game

What on earth did he think he was doing for the second. Was always going to be a second yellow for that no matter how much they all protested.

Tbf to him 9/10 that gets blown as a foul on the defender. Still you should play to the whistle and that was a school boy error. The ref would have bottled that in thr Prem.

Might have already been said but did anybody else notice the massive rip in the Jimmy Hill flag yesterday?

Just got home from Cov,Cannot see what McNulty and Beavon offer us up front?
I've never been so bored at a game,Spent most of it chatting to my mate.
Yes we look solid at the back but surely there is someone at the club whatever age who can score?
Doyle and Kelly look solid but are to alike we need an attacking midfielder who can find a striker.

Think we were all hoping that would be Stevenson, but he's shown nothing so far.

Maybe play stevenson as well as Doyle and Kelly one of them could play further up the pitch looking for forward runs

Who was it that Nazon was going nuts at after he's tripped in the 2nd half?. 5 mins 35 on the extended highlights.

I was with you for the first two lines of that. As for sacking ANOTHER manager, where is it shown that sacking managers every year brings long-term success?

Someone said that JG was laying into Duck for his lack of effort! Sounds like Duck yelled back at him...

I'd say it was more because Duck wanted to try and take the whole team on.

Great result today, it doesn't change that the last 4 games weren't though. What encouraged me was that Robins made brave decisions from the start. Not just Ponticelli, which is the obvious one, but combining him with McNulty, a very high back line which pushed our whole team up and gave us options down the middle as well as flanks, letting Vincenti play on the right instead of looking awkward at left mid - there was lots he got spot on today.
It changes nothing for me yet though as we've performed great against the good teams all season. I still think we've got the best squad in this league, I still think we should already be top of the league by a mile, I still think there's a lot of time left in the season, I still have serious question marks over our tactics against shit defensive teams - of which there will be many more like that than playing a high open game like Luton. If the next time we play such a team Robins continues to be brave, surprise and achieve a better balance between attacking and defending I'll be delighted as it will be the start of making the difference between play offs and autos.
Sometimes I think you don't read what is being said and just dismiss comments that aren't glowing praise without processing what's actually being said.

So how would you explain that I don’t think we should be top by a country mile ?

I wouldn't explain why you think that. I can explain why we're not though.

In truth we could be top by now with better finishing plus better goalkeeping, three howlers.

No point playing McNulty out wide or number ten if you ask me looks an out and out centre forward who needs to play with a target man if you ask me.

Plus he makes a lot of runs in behind that never gets seen

Glad McNulty has proved this quote right
