    I'm sure I've been wrong and I'm sure I've been right.

    I think there's something dysfunctional about the middle of the park. He hasnt had Browne or Samed to call upon for long stretches, Rigg too has been injured. Aleksic deemed not ready.

    It means Neil and Jobe are tiring, I'd like to think this break will do them good.

    I also wonder about the dynamism of the midfield with Jobe, Rigg and Neil. Its not explosive enough or quick enough at times.

    haway lads, we are all upset after recent performances but it aint ower till it's ower...plenty of points still to grab (or loss, i guess) and personally i am hoping RLB can get that fire back into them that they had when starting the season and while i know it is not easy, the fans getting behind them at home just like they do away could make a huge difference now.

    We were utter ****e and got hammered by a much better team on the day.

    That has happened to just about every team over the four divisions this season (well, maybe not Liverpool).

    To lose one game by more than one goal over a season is not meltdown time. No need to hang the manager and drop every single player.

    It's up to RLB now to turn things around and get us going into the play-offs on form.

    Mam’s are great aren’t they, mine gave away all my comic collections when I left home because they were cluttering up the cupboard, Spider-Man was almost a complete collection and also the original Superboy and Supergirl comics and to top it off she threw out a original World War Two flying jacket I never hardly had off my back. Someone will find her under the patio one day <laugh><laugh>

    Na that’s a fair balanced reply bob, agree that we need a few more ready players. They say it’s the model, this year wil be the proof in the pudding for me because no doubt a couple of them will leave for big money and see how they invest it. I think they have shown signs of more ambition

    I can't listen to him anymore. I find him excruciatingly dull tbh and watching him standing there on the sidelines with his arms folded saying nothing concerns me. He's done a fine job up to now but football isn't always about 'connections' or developing or any of the buzzwords he uses but about getting stuck in and showing some character. I don't know the guy and he might be completely different behind scenes but the team is starting to mirror him. Boring

    Would have been much better if he was all smiling and saying if it hadnt been for the 3 goals it would have been a closer game.

    I just don't understand what happened to the team from the start of the season. It looks like we aren't even trying to do what worked so well for us. It's weird.

    He's the best manager we have had for a very long time.
