Oh. My. Word.

Because I want him to do well. I see a player in there that can make a difference but he continually disappoints. Like the Forest game when he last had a start and fluffed his lines.

Well the way I see it is there's no way we can be that bad in the 2nd half.

Again I'm finding myself questioning Buckley's bottle. He should be buzzing all over this pitch but he's hiding and taking a back seat.

I'll give it a few more minutes then the darts is going on.

This ain't great so far. Come on Buckley start demanding that ball.

Big game for Buckley is this. I like the lad and think he has talent but tonight he needs to shit or get off the pot.

The 'next' 4 games added to the Rotherham game so 5 in total.

No doubt in my mind that we win this 'must win' game. The next 4 games after are also very winnable on paper so 11 points is the minimum requirement to keep close to the business end.

I know. My Saturday acca generally sees me searching for their fixture so I can back against them. They rarely let me down.

Chris Wilder on a sticky wicket here as well. I wonder what he could do with this squad.

No idea what your point is or what you're rambling on about but regardless of loyalties, style of play, better players, Venkys and whatever else it's patently CLEAR that Mowbray is not the man to take us up out of this division. That is all that matters because, whether you like it or not, stagnating in this league cannot go on indefinitely.

Don't think you need to worry on that score for a while.

Totally agree. And the fact we are no better off in the league is a damning indictment on the manager and says all you need to know about his ability to take us further.

There is balance Paul. It's been stated more than once in this thread that our position now is comparable to the last 2 seasons. Any talk on style of play, better players and injuries is just garnish.

And the so called fans on Facebook

Probably no exaggeration to say that that how we respond in the remainder of this game will shape our season.

It's a big game, a game we need to win and we play fannying football and get done late on. Oh so predictable, we should have been front foot pressing from the 1st minute but we've been far too passive and have paid for it.

Armstrong really does lack footballing intelligence

I thought we played that half like a testimonial. Need to up it in the second half or we'll get done with a sucker punch.

More worrying that the comparisons are being made based on subjective evidence on style and a non appearance in the top 6, never mind top 2. I don't mind the 'I told you so' mentality, but it needs to be done when something has been achieved. Especially when comparing to proven winners.

Agree with you on Buckley. I think he has talent but I have questioned his bottle. However, his willingness to take the ball in the last 2 games has allayed some of those concerns and he can't help but have gained some confidence that he is being trusted in tight games.

Yet the same kids are all at school together. It's a ridiculous decision.

That's the character I thought we were signing. Togetherness and that kind of spirit can take you a long way.

Superb to get a point in those circumstances. Patch up that defence and go and beat Bristol now.
