    Wouldn't worry about him mate I think his skin is as thick as yours. He's not under any illusions about his position and his team.

    Neither was Moyes early last season. Look how that ended.

    We have an owner trying to sell the club and the downward spiral continues.

    I'd like to think that Short would be losing sleep tonight. But he's a billionaire, and losing 60, 80, 100 million in the short term, won't mean diddly squat when you can claw it back in another deal tomorrow.

    In his line of work, thats just a **** Wednesday afternoon. He'll be sleeping soundly tonight.

    Desperately poor that we didn't get a decent striker in. Can't believe it was not spoken of more. Lost Defoe, lower league replacement, playing with fear? What a load of bollocks, goals breed confidence and win games. Difficult to score goals without a striker like :0(

    Our bench looks pitiful too. Surely there must be a couple of decent players out of contract as we are in trouble already. I would get the young lads out for a couple of games and get O'Shea in to organise and steady the ship. Even a couple of draws for now.

    So after one of our best performances you'd make massive changes? I'll respectfully disagree

    I think Moyes didn't know the full picture, seem to remember him saying that Short bullshitted him about transfer money.

    Let's not panic. Grayson is a good manager for this league, our team is good on paper and has goals in it even though we're missing a quality striker. Grayson won't panic and neither should we, it's a long season.

    Agreed about Short, he won't give a ****.

    We havent got a goalscorer and the transfer window is closed. A new manager won't be able to pluck one out of thin air.

    Who next after Grayson? Nobody will want the job. Grayson was a few names down the list.

    I'm not calling for his head but hes on notice now. 3 more games and we are 10 games in. Lose all 3 and anyone not questioning his position is mental.

    I hope he turns it around I really do but the warning signs have been there from the off.

    Yes the budget was **** but no one can tell me Barnsley Sheff Utd and Forest have better players than us.

    We are an unorganised mess with no apparent style or tactics. He isn't getting the best out of them at all. Yes it's early days but look at Leeds new manager. Lost their top scorer and are flying

    Anybody actually going to say what Grayson did wrong tonight?(Those questioning him) We were much the better team, it was the right team from the pool available and we lost to an individual mistake. Anyone who's questioning Grayson on tonight's show must be mental. He did nothing wrong.

    Maybe there is someone out of contract like Anichibe was last year. What about Anichibe? :0)

    We lost, for the 4th game in a row. The manager has to take a portion of the responsibility.

    5 defeats in a row is usually sacking ground.

    If we had an owner with any ambition for the club this season he'd be on thin ice.

    When McGeady is back I'd drop Williams and play Honeyman in that position. Williams is likeable and good on the ball but I don't see any end product from him, his quality around the box is awful.

    Maja is another one who could play behind Grabban. When Watmore eventually returns we could try McGeady in the middle. Few decent options.
