    I certainly wouldn't argue that the board have made mistakes but there has been a fair amount of bad luck as well. I mean on paper appointing established PL managers like Hughes and Redknapp could/should have yielded better results. It's hard to blame them for then trying something completely different, admittedly Ramsay was too big a gamble and clear they were trying to wing it with a cheap option. JFH was another gamble but at least he was a young manager on the up, this could have been a good appointment but the QPR curse struck. Ollie was a bit of a desperate decision but they've tried young/old/experienced/in-experienced so it's hard to blame them too much and plenty of fans were happy with the choice. If you factor in Rowett supposedly being their first choice and not being keen it's hard to see what option there was that would have made everyone happy.

    True, but things can turn quickly (admittedly not usually for us). Oh what I wouldn't give for a win on new years eve.

    Haha! But with apparently only 1 other fit recognised CB it is good to know the Management is not totally clueless.

    Too much over reaction on our players imo. They aren't good enough for promotion as is, no way, but there is enough in the Squad to stay in this Division, at least with a decent striker. Some, Lynch, Perch, Henry, Bidwell for example have done well in this Division before and shoud be able to now. Problem is the change of Manager. Think they played hard for Jimmy and would have done enough to survive. Ned, Caulker and Sandro have PL experience and they can do this. Then we have others who should shine in this Division.They look lost, confused, and as though they have lost all confidence during Olly's 7 games. The clear answer is sack Olly and bring in someone who can sort this, Jimmy, Rowell, Olly can't.

    No it isn't. The clear answer is to **** the head clown Fernandes off along with his travelling circus. Unfortunately we're stuck with them until their property gamble hopefully goes pear-shaped. Then we'll see.

    An ever-shrinking training ground dependent on a new stadium we won't own dependent on a property gamble which involves ****ing over a company that backed us when times were really bad? We've come to this? Really? I can't wait.

    Until then enjoy the ride. Change managers as much as you want. Change players as much as you want. Change targets as much as you want. Talk tactics all you want. This club is utterly rancid top down and all of this is just shuffling the deckchairs.

    And JFH v Ollie? Ollie every day of the year, wherever this season goes and wherever we end up. If we're going down, staying up or aiming to be the branding platform the cretin Fernandes wanted I just want some entertainment. I'll take the Looney Tunes fadeout over Nearer My God To Thee every time but if anybody's missing JFH that much maybe they should crowdfund an inspirational team talk? £55K should do it. Although you and the team should be prepared to fly to Kuala Lumpur. Tax reasons you understand.

    And the idea that Rowett would even entertain the thought of coming into this clusterfuck?

    About the only thing I agree with there is TF and the Board aren't going anywhere. Right now, they need to accept bringing in Olly is a huge mistake, about as bad as the first one of firing Colin, and fire Olly so a new Manager can bring in the Striker we need at least in January, and get some time to keep us out of League 1.

    I'd like Furlong and Doughty to get a chance when they're back from Ipswich onwards. They simply can't be any worse.

    Agree. Anyone with a bit of passion. Is it hurting the current ensemble enough? No signs that it is.

    With what we have available, I'd go for something like this:

    -------------------------------------------Smithies--------------------------------------
    Henry--------------------Perch-----------------------Hall-------------------Bidwell
    -----------------------------------Pole---------Luongo---------------------------------
    Mackie---------------------------------Chery-------------------------------Shodipo
    ---------------------------------------Sylla-----------------------------------------------

    If Polter is fit I'd swap him for Sylla.

    If Lynch is fit, I'd do this:

    -----------------------------------------Smithies---------------------------------------
    --------------Perch---------------------Hall------------------Lynch------------------
    Mackie------------------------------------------------------------------------Shodipo
    -------------------------------------------Pole-------------------------------------------
    ------------------------------Chery-----------------Luongo---------------------------
    ----------------------------Sylla/Polter--------Washington--------------------------

    Newcastle got two appeals approved from the same game for far worse. One rule for some.

    I wouldn't have Perch anywhere near the team if it's at all avoidable after Brighton.
