At least Simpson isn't starting.
No Colwill again either - something not right there.

Had my concerns about Colwill for a while now. No doubt he has some excellent skills but never looks like he has more than 10 minutes in him. If I'm honest, I didn't understand all the hype over him.
Seen as great white hope - not being racist there.
Far too much hype for someone who promises a lot but rarely delivers.
The midfield is worse than pathetic- two players completely out of their depth - get them both off and change the formation
2-1 flatters us.

Go to a back 5 with Ng. Hook Sawyers and push O'Dowda up the pitch on left. Wintle for Ralls to cover the right. Kaba doing OK but looks rusty. Etete and Zak should get a go up front. I'd leave Robbo on there so it's either Philo or Ojo to make way. We're losing - **** or bust.
Etete on for Kaba - good move.
Ng on for Romeo cautious but probably right.

Has any team ever had four managers in one season? Asking for a friend.
Fair play, I was surprised today. I didn't think it could get worse but it did!
Somehow, other results contrived to keep us out of the bottom three but our credit in that area is at an end now. We have to win games to have any chance. It's looking grim.

Some games are total write offs - Burnley Sheff U Norwich away and WBA swansea & Bristol at home - so it’s the likes of Brum Reading Blackpool Huddersfield Rotherham Sunderland etc we just have to win
It just isn’t going to happen - can’t see us avoiding going down & they’d have deserved to.
That would probably be enough to keep 3 clubs below us.
Indeed but they have to win them. Given we haven’t win since god knows when that’s highly improbable.
Looking at the table it’s staggering that the likes of Luton, Millwall, Blackburn down to Hull and Sunderland are in the play off mix; bang average teams (Sunderland aside) we’ve narrowly lost to.
We've also got misfiring Stoke at home as well.
I also don't see why you're writing off our home games against Swansea and Bristol - there have to be points available there.
On a side note, that's the most animated I've seen our pitchside staff today since the Warnock days.
Bamba, Whitehead and even Smoochie were jumping about - that can't be bad.

They're available but achievable is something else.
Again, we gave it a go today. Forget their third goal. Looked brighter upfront but midfield hopeless. Ralls is a footballer? Has someone swapped him for his twin brother who is useless. Rinomohta has to start v Brum.
