    The players seem to love playing for Mowbray. Surely that is a factor in whether they stick or twist.....

    Everything about our set up is youth and dynamic. We need fresh ideas. We need to try something left field. I wish we went in for that Farioli but that ship sailed.

    Well done today, you deserved the point tbh.

    Not the best game and we just didn't click so we're all pretty cheesed off.

    Good luck for the season, decent support for you today.

    I don't think anyone is pretending he's something that he's not, but he's got us playing really good football and has created a great atmosphere around the club. It really bugs me how reactionary football fans are - win a game and everything in the world is rosy, lose a game and everything has to be put under the microscope until a scapegoat has been assigned

    Perhaps that Kompany fella would be good ...

    ... I expect he'll be available before long.

    I’ve seen a lot of comments saying how great he is and how amazing his football is and that we only get players because of him etc!
    He’s good and I do like him but he’s not doing well this season and seems like he’s struggling to get the right recipe with all the great footballers he has at his disposal imo like.

    That's a stretch. We have a lot of young, talented players with potential. We don't have any "great" players

    Yeah, fair enough.

    If we had finished 12th last season then we'd be quite happy. I remember walking out of Wembley (what a day) and saying "let's just ****ing stay up then build" - finishing 6th might just have been the worst thing that could have happened

    We should be aiming for mid table, no way we can compete with clubs like Preston fielding the likes of Ched Evans up top <doh>

    One defeat and the cry babies are out in force with this sort of nonsense

    That was the best day of my life supporting this club, what an unbelievable wknd. I knew we would do well but I wasn’t expecting playoffs. I’ve never wanted a manager sacked in my life even the ****e we’ve had and I don’t necessarily want this one sacked.
    It’s really strange because I love this team and the whole vibe and how the clubs doing and never expect us to lose “unrealistic” I know but I find myself getting pissed off every time I see the team sheet. :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    7 defeats in 17 but aye.

    “Best CM in the league and future England captain, best winger in the league, best possession based CB in the league alongside the best CB in the league, most technically gifted winger on the other side, best keeper in the league..”

    13 points off a newly promoted team though. Comical.

    Promotion form then, everything’s going well nothing to change.. again 3 points more than Norwich and only 4 more than Birmingham, both of whom we’ve said are worse than sh*te in the last few weeks so that shows you how good we are :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Well, they rumours that went about last summer about a young manager coming in were sent out to test the water and see how the fans would react. Tony stayed.

    Currently 2nd in Ligue 1 and undefeated, tells you everything you need to know about our fanbase at times. Aim for the bottom and anything above that is a bonus..
