We need a repeat this Saturday.

Haven't won a home match against any of the teams in the bottom half of the league this season. Will have to play all those teams away from home in the second half of the season. Don't usually get anything at places such as Swansea, Oxford, Sheff Utd or Portsmouth. Absolutely need minimum 4 points from the next two matches.

Prepare to be disappointed....

I can't identify 3 other teams that are likely to finish below us apart from Sheff Wed of course. Sheff Utd definitely on the rise and probably also Norwich and Swansea under new management. That just leaves Oxford who regularly take points and will likely win at Ewood in a couple of weeks time. That just leaves Pompey to make up the doomed threesome.

It seems Pickering won't get any time on the pitch unless he's the last man standing. Something very wrong going on there as he's a decent defender against that sort of opposition.

When do we EVER score in added time to take even a point? But concede for fun to give away points with just seconds remaining time after bloody time.

Whoever they appointed would probably be at least as bad because nobody decent would want to come. VI probably only came because of the three and a half year contract and he just wanted a job.

Wednesday will win nailed on. The beginning of a death spiral into L1. The owners and their quislings don't give a f**k. Just sell a few more of what little quality there is left. And then the quislings blame the fans for not turning up - to watch a team that will have won only about 4 home matches in the calendar year.

And they've only got 4 High Court judges in the entire country according to the Economist magazine recently.

Most likely to be (a). Just like Baradji it'll take them 8 weeks before they get a proper diagnosis.

Venkys are just killing the club.

Cutting the losses. League status is an afterthought.

The signings they make are cheap crap so there's no point in getting excited.

Cantwell training one day then off the next with a reaction. Being a knee injury it probably means there's something wrong that hasn't been diagnosed. Could be a very long "wait".

Post match comment from VI that "have to wait" doesn't indicate that he'll be back anytime soon. Does this medical/physio team have a clue?

Opportunity for Guestede to get that contract extended. We all know it won't happen of course.

Cantwell out until after the international break. A "kick on the knee" doesn't take 6 weeks to fix. Suspect the medical side are not on top of this. Prepare for worse news in 3 week's time.

Who funds the losses ie covers the wages whilst the administrator finds a buyer. As appalling as Venkys are, they so far have paid the wages. Probably players will be sold because there are no other funds available to an administrator. Probably doesn't matter if those players would have been sold anyway after relegation.

Wednesday could easily take 6 points from the head to head matches - as they have previously - so the gap is halved and still about 100 points to play for in the other remaining matches. Finishing bottom is more likely than not. Finishing in the bottom three is a near certainty.

The propaganda equivalent of Pravda in the Soviet Union.

Probably not. The losses would be much less and they would say the club has become more self-sustainable. Job done and bonuses for two stooges.

This team's performance levels always totally collapse immediately after making the substitutions around the hour mark. The players coming on are always downgrades and there is a complete loss of teamwork. The final third of every match under Ismael is a shapeless mess.

Even he wouldn't make any of this talentless bunch and he'd have more sense than to even try.

He can't trap a bag of cement.
