    Well said. The team need to gel. We have some exciting young players, but we do need to get rid of the dead 'WOOD' pardon the pun. Get rid of Bamba too

    That's all well and good but yet again we arnt ready for day one and play catch up with the pressure on and discontent high.

    The season is 46 games long and every one is worth three points. Here is a novel idea be ready for the first one.
    You can't win promotion in month one but you can lose it!

    Did Wood actually miss a load of chances then yesterday?

    Everyone knows he isn't a striker who will pick the ball up, run with it and score. If Monk doesn't know this he wants sacking now.

    The phrase fail to prepare prepare to fail describes our pre season

    There wasn't a fan without a concern at the end of last season, we were all worried that nothing was in place, we all frowned at the lack of preseason yet Cellino couldn't see it was going to be an issue? He preferred to leave Evans lurking and wondering rather than do the decent thing.

    Monk and his lack of experience never spotted it either when he came in, he thought it would be okay to bring 8 new faces in and get them 'peaking' with one whole game together...

    I am in no way blaming Monk yet, all he has done wrong is agree to work under cellinos madness. Time will judge how good or bad a decision that is. I am however worried that our rigid 4-4-2 was so clearly not working yet he didn't change it.

    The negative and pointless pass it backwards and square and then hump it when under pressure is a problem caused by our lack of quality, and has existed since the Cellino reign started,

    I'd like to see Antonsson and Roofe start

    I'd also like to see one good defensive midfielder to sit in front of the back four (like Batty or Vinney)

    Not much to ask

    Both could still get a game compared to dodgy Dave or Birdshit

    We should recall Bellusci, he's only on loan.

    Cos Bamba is showing how good Bellusci was for us in defence, despite a few off games.

    But Taylor is already reminding us what happens if you play want away players.

    Tbf, Cellino is the one calling all the shots, he runs the club, does the hiring and firing, sets the transfer budgets etc. And if he bought the club and agreed to the current share ownership then he's stupider than even his supporters think.

    You also have to seriously question the quality of opposition chosen for pre season. Was it really enough to prepare us for the first league game? We seemed to be surprised by the sudden step up in the first game at qpr
