Oh god not another game. I never thought I'd ever say this but ... I wished we was on an international break this week. This is becoming tiresome now. It seems like we've been stuck in the doldrums for the last five seasons. I suspect that this will be the fourth game in a row where I switch the laptop off around the fifty / sixty minute mark.

Feel the same. I was thinking about this, and I think it feels worse now because it really did feel like we were heading in the right direction. A few talented youngsters, making £ every transfer window, some investments that looked sensible (Dickie, Dykes, Kelman and Thomas stood out for me), higher league finish last year, better football ... and now, back to the doldrums. Urgh.

Who knows, maybe just a blip and we're on the right direction still, but feels hard to be enthusiastic at the moment, especially when so many mistakes we are making look so basic.

I’ve felt this for years, there are way too many games in the Championship, regardless of how **** we are playing. It’s endless, repetitive, pretty low quality if fiercely competitive, and it gets worse as players get tired and injured.

It’s the business model ‘oh, people like this and will pay for it, let’s give them more and more’ without understanding that markets can become saturated, and audiences bored.

It’s particularly mental this season, not aided by the fact we simply must play every ****ing international friendly for the benefit of possibly no one. Did we really need a League Cup this season?

But still a 46 game season is preferable IMO. Quality doesn’t necessarily equal excitement.

I expect they’ll just give up on cup replays altogether now as well as sneaking in these dodgy kick-off times for good once things are back to normal.

I have the impression more teams are at least trying to play decent football in the Chzmpionship now, passing rather than Route 1. Huddersfield looked good, though that wasn't difficult against us. Seem to remember Millwall weren't really Route 1 either last season, though with Matt Smith I'm sure they do a bit. We'll see soon enough.

Sound bet would be 1-0 Millwall and Matt Smith to score...

They were unashamedly route one. No idea about this season. All been a bit of a blur but I saw the other day they played young Parrett rather than Smith so they couldn’t have been as direct for that.

Rowett is a fairly horrendous person though so if they’re at all in his image we’ll probably be outworked and bullied.

What a horrible thought - if they've done their homework (or half of their homework) and seen how defensively fragile we are from FKs, they can start Matt Smith and he'll get a few...

Why don't we surprise everyone by going more direct? :emoticon-0136-giggl We can send Dickie up front and Masterson can sit with Barbet in defence.

This all day mate.
I actually forgot we were playing tonight (again) until I saw a news item on the 'Knee' (not the game, that's not important)? It's like Groundhog Day again. I don't see any difference from Saturday. I will watch but just haven't got the enthusiasm for my beloved R's at the moment.

When I saw the starting line-up on Saturday I was quite optimistic. I thought that it was arguably our strongest Xl* but they didn't turn up. The early goal and the manner of it knocks the stuffing out of you.

If somehow we win tonight, it will bring some relief and joy among us fickle fans. A draw would be acceptable and another defeat would see us looking down the barrel of yet another six game losing streak with Reading and Stoke up next.

Where art thou heavenly asteroid? Please come down and end this misery :emoticon-0136-giggl

* Given the amount of games played and lack of a squad and fitness etc etc.
