You quote a post about wanking and sunshine to ask me about MR and his use of subs. Nice work proving my point.

Time for sunshine, beers and joints. Enjoy your wknd you bunch of mad heads! Still think we'll have fun with this squad.

Your post about having a wank quoted my post which included a comment about poor use of subs.

5 points out of 15 isn't fun.

It eerily quiet in the second half. Watford fans were decent to be fair.

well glad we waited until then to make the changes, rather than do something silly like in the 20 minutes before when they were playing us off the park

Cracking game, and really worked hard for point, they’re a very good side and not many teams will come away from there with 3 points, just need to do it over 90 mins now

I’m not the, or a, manager so it’s not down to me, but on a very basic level make changes to counter the opposition’s

To be fair I don't think he had the options to change ...we were overloaded with forwards a kid and Jamie Allen

Fuck me im not exactly thrilled by the way this season has started but some of you need your heads checked.

Could we have won? Yes.
Could we have lost? Definitely.
We didn’t lose and the performance was promising. Best I’ve seen us this season which obviously means the coaching is working and we’re getting there.
Yet again, I question why it always takes us so fucking long but that’s neither here nor there at this point. We kick on from here and we’ll be fine.

Decent point in the context of our season so far.

The next 3 are tough, should be targeting winning both home games if we want to be top 6

Swansea (H)
Leeds (A)
Blackburn (H)

Honestly dumbfounded by the response on here. Considering we’ve been AWOL almost every game so far that was a hell of a performance. Second half faded a bit but we came away with a point against a side who have banged goals and won most of their games.

And if you boo’d the DK song you’re a cretin. Absolutely embarrassing.

It’s supposed to be entertainment and you can’t deny that we got that. A coach’s nightmare with all the errors on both sides. It wasn’t polished but I’d have settled for 1-1 before the game started

Very good point, happy with the performance overall PUSB

They were always going to put us under some pressure and we coped and had our chances to win

I thought both teams were really good, played exciting and brave football. Thought we were a little naive, particularly the way we probed for a second goal away from home which ultimately lead to us conceding.

Was a great game and happy enough with a point, think they’re beatable at home but look a good side. Probably the best opposition side I’ve seen this season so far.

If we actually took one of the many chances, that probing would have had the game wrapped up by half time. Poor finishing and decision making has let Watford off the hook

Still a LOT coming through the middle of the park, but midfield felt a lot better today. Torp needs to bulk up and get a bit more fearless.

For all their flaws we feel so much more progressive and positive from the back with BT/LK.

Ellis’ first touch today for laying off was absolutely sublime.

What gets my goat is when we have teams on the rack the opposition gets the keeper to start shithousery so that they can readjust their team to block us out! MR needs to counter immediately to change us as well, negates shithousery and nullify what the opposition manager changes

I think in isolation although not a complete performance it was definitely a decent one away from home, we should’ve been home and dry after the first 45 but they upped their game 2nd half and we didn’t know what to do for a while…

I don’t think the problem was the performance on the day, it’s the hangover of frustration from, yet again, seeing decisions taken off the pitch seemingly affecting the ability to succeed on it

MR is being questioned more already this season, the love in with DK is starting to wane with some, tickets aren’t necessarily flying out the ticket office quite as quickly, crowds are quieter, it’s a strange one - maybe a few wins will turn things again, and it’s by no means a nuclear scale disaster, but perhaps some fans are just a little disillusioned and disappointed that we haven’t yet lived up to the hype….

I think a lot of that comes from the fact we have 'premier league package' season tickets, loads of noises from Doug and Robins pre season about 'giving it a real go' and making sure we 'start this season properly' yet what we've actually got Is 5 points from 5 games (far from the most difficult run of fixtures we will have this year) no midfield, and 3 halves out of 10 (Oxford + Today) where we've looked a coherent unit.


I've learnt my lesson on panic buttons and I'm far from pressing it, but I think people need to look at the cold hard facts of our start.

We will turn it around I'm sure, but I think 3 seasons on the spin now where we've not got out the blocks wears thin when promises are made

Agree with that. Very much think he needs to be playing as a centre forward rather than wide attacking player.

Said it for a while now . Wonder if it's the newer fans as most of the fan base around my age (early 50s) seem more pragmatic about things
