  1. Very important point today. I thought we'd get thrashed so it's promising that we came back to rescue a point. We'd have gone on to lose that 2 or 3 nil under JDT. I thought QPR and Sheff W would win today. I did not expect Hudds, Millwall, and Swansea to win though. It feels like a tough feat for Sheff W to overturn a 7 point gap and an inferior goal difference against us. Stoke feel like the onea who will be in the final relegation place as things stand. I think we'll grind out enough points but it won't be pretty or comfortable. Eustace has done well so far to make us much harder to beat and score against. The style of play is awful but needs must at the moment.
  2. No surprise that we're losing and others around us are picking up points. If QPR turn it around against Rotherham and we lose to Norwich, both of which I expect to happen, then things will be looking grim come 5pm. We're so bad, it's beyond belief. Norwich will go on to get a second and possibly a third.
  3. Can't see us getting anything out of this game. Our game plan at the moment is to keep it tight and nick a goal, but Norwich have too much attacking quality for that to work tomorrow. Josh Sargent is one of the best players in the league and will rip us to shreds. Buckley has to start. Interesting that he is getting rave reviews after his cameo against Cardiff. He was no doubt a standout player but I think that is also largely to do with the lower quality in our squad now that he looks a standout. The fact he can actually trap a ball and pick out a simple pass puts him head and shoulders above the likes of Ayari and Garrett.
  4. I completely agree. I'm not a conspiracy theorist generally but this one just doesn't add up. Three similar mistakes in one year, two happen to be very expensive transfers. Yet any freebie or cheap loan is done without a hitch. The club would rather play the incompetent card rather than "we have no money" card.
  5. Take the point and move on. The sole aim today from how we were set up was to get a clean sheet and everything else was a bonus. Ayari and Garrett in particular were awful. Buckley good when he came on
  6. 1-0 Cardiff written all over it. I thought we couldn't get a worse loanee from Brighton than Moran but GB has come up trumps again with Ayari.
  7. 😂 Was that a joke or something? That half cannot be real. Awful.
  8. Big chance for us tonight I sense after seeing the team news. Our starting 11 and bench looks average but Cardiff's looks awful.
  9. 5 at the back, 3 in midfield. Fair to say we're aiming to nick a 1-0. Garrett was chasing shadows at the weekend so I'm not surprised we've thrown another body in there. The only hope I have is looking at Cardiff's line up and bench which looks very poor.
  10. The style of play has been pretty awful so far but it's all about results at the moment so I don't really mind. We were heading down playing pretty football under JDT; I'd rather stay up and play ugly football under Eustace. I don't think it will be until next season that we see the style Eustace wants to play. It's very much back to basics at the moment which we need to try and get out of this situation. The problem is, we're not very good at the basics as that was coached out of the team. We're fortunate that there are a lot or very bad teams between us and the relegation places. This season is our worst one since we were last relegated from the championship, no doubt about that. I actually think our first 11 when everyone is fit is half decent. It's the squad that is dreadful.
  11. Very happy with a point. I thought we'd get battered today so a point is a bonus. Us being 2-0 means nothing as we all know how bad we are, but ultimately its a tough away game and a point is decent. The teams below us look woeful so we may just get away with it this season. Let's hope so anyway. Millwall are the ones I think could go down.
  12. We will 100% go on to lose. We are the softest team in the league and have the weakest mentality. I'd be shocked if we even got a draw. I actually backed Preston to win at pretty big odds when we went 2-0 up. I knew the game was far from over.
  13. Gally! Let's not mess it up from here. This would be a huge result.
  14. Where are 4 wins coming from? That's the concern. We are so bad.
  15. Well done to Brum. At least they made an effort tonight and actually tried to win the game. Fully deserved 3 points. Disgraceful from us. Not enough effort or desire at all. Two tough away games to come. We're in deep trouble.
  16. This is the worst we've seen. About 10 mins left to play and I've got zero hope that we'll even have a shot let alone score
  17. Tough game this one. Win and we have good breathing space; lose and things get nervy again. I think we may get a result with our better players now back and our more direct style of play. Overall, much more confident we will stay up now that we have Eustace in charge.
  18. Interesting that the players are already taking a slight dig at JDTs style of football. The quotes from Brittain are interesting this morning and probably reflect the majority of the squad. When you have someone like Gally upfront and try to play passing football you are doomed from day one. Get it up to him quickly and ask him to be a nuisance and he'll do fairly well. The players we have will be far more suited to Eustace's style of play. We must get Dolan tied up to a new contract. I've never been a huge fan but I was wrong, he's becoming a very good player. We missed him a lot when he was out injured. Telalovic, on the other hand, is someone I cannot believe we paid a fee for. I honestly cannot think of a worse striker we've had. Even Chris Brown was better.
  19. Massive win. I wasn't able to watch the game but pleased to hear the tippy tappy football has been ditched already. If we'd have lost that then we'd been in big, big trouble. We're not out of the woods by any means but to win a six pointer is always significant.
  20. I don't rate JDT, so he's an upgrade or a big upgrade. You can choose which option you prefer. Eustace would follow the same blueprint as Hughes and Allardyce, which I think is the right approach. Following the same blueprint doesnt mean he is a peer of those two or a direct comparison, simply that he would build from the back. You can Google what blueprint means if you're not sure!
