Wouldn't surprise me if Bournemouth line up Wilder for next season, or maybe ask Howe to return.

It was an innocuous incident, as was the case in the Wigan game. Unfortunately, Dack must be susceptible to this type of injury.

.....or because it’s a meaningless end of season game, (in March).

We look a reasonable side and pick up points when there is no pressure on a game. Dead rubbers are a happy hunting ground for us. Every season follows more or less the same pattern. Win a few when it’s futile.

Injuries are symptomatic of a struggling club, and many of the injured players are known sicknotes or in the twilight of their careers. We will be hearing the same bleating next season, no doubt.

But he probably won't, and next season will be a virtual replica of the last few, (at best). It's so obvious he has taken the club as far as he can, but we are now stuck with him.

There are plenty of clubs above us in the table whose managers had no previous Championship experience prior to being appointed. Unfortunately, neither Venkys nor our so called Chief Executive would have the nouse to make a decent, left field appointment. A dinosaur from an agency's scrap heap it is.

Absolutely superb goal, even more so because of the timing.

Barnsley are exhibit ‘A’ of having the right people at executive level to choose a manager. They have now plucked out two excellent left field appointments in succession.

Maybe, but I hope not.

For me, you need an experienced football executive, not an ex-manager who will no doubt want to stick his oar in all the time. That would put a lot of potential candidates off.

Probably his agency.

Yes, there are plenty out there like that, I have no doubt. That’s what I was getting at, but you worded it better.

Would you say that perhaps in many cases that it’s more about backing the status quo than about backing the manager? Then when the club finally takes action and the axe falls, the same people will praise the club for making the right decision.

The only thing Tony should be directing is the pre-match entertainment for the corporates at the Riverside next season.

Yes, "Honourable Man" my ar*e" ! Mowbray has just ensured a toxic relationship with the fans.

He should concentrate on putting the cones out for Grayson. Might just be within his capabilities.

We will probably win, leading to the Facebook group having a whip round to start work on the statue.

Barnsley seem to be making a decent fist of it, and they can’t compete with us financially. I see that Chris Hughton chap’s doing alright.

The guy who plays him is too busy with work as a TV extra just now.

Our best player now, following his injury? Let's hope Dack gets his mojo back as he builds up his fitness, but let's not kid ourselves, signing a two year contract extension does not necessarily mean he will stay. I'm sure the injury and recovery time played a part in his decision to sign a new contract, as it gives him protection for complications / loss of form etc. By signing the contract he can't lose either way. Well rewarded if he stays and still the possibility of an upwards move if he gets his fitness and form back. Obviously, it's also good for the club in terms of a fee if he leaves.

Currently lower in the league table, but I would swap managers in a heartbeat. Hughton will get them sorted.

Again, it all comes back to their failure to appoint an empowered, competent chief executive, who would be capable of outside of the box thinking.

Unfortunately, they have still not addressed the most important and basic issue, ie the need for a competent, fully functioning chief executive. Someone who is likely to make the right strategic decisions, eg a decent manager. If they could only see how important that is, the club might have a chance of progressing again.

If we wait until the end of the season, we can write next season off as well. There is no chance whatsoever we will finish in the top six.
