    I'll take that point and joint top after that awful performance.
    I'm not looking for promotion but mid table safety and build for promotion NEXT season.

    Great point, but how poor were we, this just shows they have to go out and bring in a few players, we lack any steel and it is a worry. But another point towards safety. The first half is possibly the worst half of football I can remember since we moved to the Liberty, come on board back the manager and he will do the job.

    Plenty of fight from our youngsters but Brum should have won easily. Our midfield was non existent and cruelly exposed first half. In your face football with a bit of rough play and we were bullied of the ball. Leeds will do the same next Tues but they have the players who will put away their chances.
    We need reinforcements badly, but we are going nowhere with the present owners who’s only concern seems to be clearing the decks and moving players out.

    I think a few poster s need to lower their expectations a bit , we played against a more physical ,experienced Championship side with a manager determined to get one over on us and guess what they didn't , all I heard last night from the commentators on Sky was how desperate the transfer window has been for B/Ham etc etc , they even had the temerity to bring up a list pre match of the squad outgoings of us compared to what we've bought and then as if by magic dismissed it as a talking point. Last night showed the weaknesses but also the character of the side and lesser teams would have crumbled under that onslaught so I take heart that at least Potters getting a reaction from the players ,some of which is their 1st taste at this level .
    We are up against it both on and off the pitch and if anyone has hopes of a swift return to the PL then I suggest you follow another Club because right now I'd be happy to survive .

    You forgot the bit about making as much money as possible too.

    Haven't watched the game yet as I was in a wedding yesterday but 7 points from the first 3 games is a terrific start.

    If only the bellends from America would back Potter!

    Great to get a point that was a terrible first half, bullied and harassed off the ball when they pressed us.

    Hoping they are saving Montero for the Leeds game otherwise I do not understand why we used Grimes. Fer and James I can understand but was expecting Montero for the last fifteen minutes.

    That's the only positive. With 10 mins to go I said the main thing was not to lose the game and thankfully we didn't.

    Can we get anything against the Weeds? At least Leeds play good football, not the anti-football of Monk, just goes to show the nugget learned nothing, all the years he was at Swansea, glad he didn't get one over on us.............<ok>


    PS: We are desperate for a midfield general, Carol is so lightweight, and Fulton had a mare last night.

    and that was the problem last night , too weak and slow on the ball , Fer made a difference albeit a slight one but I do wonder how will the yankers respond from that showing

    I no longer expect anything rom the Yanks with regard to the playing side of things, I think if anything will come it will be on a free, or by the Ingenuity of Potter and the scouting team...............<ok>

    How will the Yankers respond? I doubt it will be too dramatic.

    Phil, the Yanks have no intention to invest or back Potter in the loan window.

    I feel for Potter and his team as with a few additions we could be a contender.

    I do hope I’m wrong.

    Spot on, the Yanks are not the least bit interested in the squad that we require. It's all about cash from the club & the sooner the Jack faithful wake up the better...
