    If they lose to us he’ll be gone.


    Any manager who loses to us in the league this season deserves sacking the moment the final whistle blows

    Think no7's account has been hacked.

    Actually quite fancy our chances against Leicester. Can't imagine them coming to press us aggressively which is where teams will get the most joy.

    I've got this weird feeling that you will be doing the next thread and we will get something on Monday.

    It's a funny old game. I'll hope for the best and prepare for the worst

    We play Leicester at home in-between those two.

    Takes Clarke less than eight minutes of his first PL start to create a goal.

    Nice watching a team that get the ball forward so quickly.

    But they're also a team who can't defend at this level. CBs have been at fault for one goal each.

    With a better striker, we score three or maybe four against them last week.

    Oh for sure, and I actually think with a better manager we could have a far better defensive approach than we currently have. Id suggest our keeper and defence is better than Ipswich’s.

    I was just thinking it was nice to see the attacking intent. And intent is the right word here I feel, as no one else in the league is obsessed with farting around with the ball so much as us. I find it frustrating to watch. Disappointingly I’m actually enjoying this game and the Chelsea one y’day and am dreading watching our game - I find it so boring and predictable right now.

    I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the football last season as much as one should have.

    Neville was going livid at Wolves last night, for all their sideways and backwards passing when losing. We're not the only ones who are guilty, albeit we do take it to extreme more than anyone other "smaller" club.

    But yeah, absolutely I wish we'd show more attacking intent. It's maybe why I refuse to write off Sulemana (even though pretty much everything would suggest that I should), because I can't shake off the possibility that it's Martin's style which is hindering him. But he might just be useless.

    PS. The Chelsea was great because of Brighton's new suicide high line tactics. They're going to be fun to watch as a neutral this season! Forest also walked straight through them last week.

    Yeah I agree about Sulemana also.

    We can’t judge how he was in our relegation season (the last one, not this season), as we were a disaster of a club.

    Last season, we didn’t fit how KS plays at all. I think he could be very effective, but we are killing his career here.

    I think the club was right the let Charley go btw, I don’t think he was anywhere newer as good as some thought.

    I think Fernandes will be twice the player he will be.

    You think there is a chance soon Martin will go??

    I can't see it happening whilst we're still in touch with 17th. If a decent gap starts to open, then I could see a change. At the moment, two points is nothing to worry about.
