    the Swansea fans seemed to be applauding our fans at the end, which is a really nice touch. Some good chanting banter during the game. They were probably the best home fans I've seen out of 15 away games this season
    The Swansea fans in the corner were class. The 2000 or so of them made more noise that the rest of the home areas combined

    Surely it's not the number 9's job to be tracking runners? Especially one who had been on for 80 minutes, mainly as a lone striker which is a knackering role.

    I'd expect one of the wide attackers or a midfielder to be tracking their right back there. Instead the whole team had been dragged over to the middle and right hand side. 

    In a perfect shape, it's not his job. But we weren't in shape because they were overloading the other wing. In the scenario that plays out, if he doesn't go, nobody will and they have a free man. But you don't have to take my word for it. Luke Young knows a thing or two about shape and defending, having been part of a Curbs unit.

    Let's get one thing sorted, Nathan Jones is going nowhere, he will be here next season...imo 🤔
    He’ll certainly start the season yes. I wonder what happens if we haven’t kicked on by October/November. 
    Nothing will happen, and it shouldn’t. I’m sure some of our fans will be silly and jump on his back if we have a slow start, but we need to keep on giving him time and backing to deliver. If we’ve got a good number of new players then it might not be a fast start to next season while they settle in 

    Derby were 20th in October, they have a good manager so stuck with him and nearly made the play offs. We have a good manager so we should be doing the same, wherever we are in October 
    Totally agree.......
    I think a lot will depend on his choices for incoming players - especially midfield.
    I just also also hope he settles quickly on his best 1st choice team and set up and gives them time to work together rather than too much tinkering. He now realises the necessary quality in this division and needs to get the right players in early.

    They were pretty good at the Valley as well. Apart from giving NJ stick but what do you expect? Decent banter. Good fans.
