    Tomorrow is surely must win if your name is Nathan Jones…… he’s running out of winnable fixtures so he’s simply got to stop the rot or lose his job

    Bolton have 4 clean sheets and have let in 29 goals.  I am certain that them at home is in the top 2 easiest games of the season.

    We should have won despite the error.  They were absolutely crap and as I said afterwards, their RB is one of the most limited players I have seen in the Championship, yet we never tested him despite having 4 left wingers in our squad.  

    It was a horrific game by us and should have been the end of Jones.

    I mean we're probably going down regardless at this stage.
    The squad needs heavier investment, and replacing the Manager is going to be like trying to use a plaster on a gaping wound
    After all the Managerial change didn't work for Oxford / Leicester last season, why should it for us?

    A shocking start to the weekend for us!
    On the plus side, we win by 3 tomorrow, and we go above Bolton. 

    Yes, I know, I'm more likely to win Miss World, but at present it's technically the better result for us. 

    I'm more likely to win Miss World than us winning by 3 today ... and I'm a short-arse bloke in his mid-50s.

    Tyreece Shade scored for Pompey today.... him and Kamara playing for a team performing well clear of ours.

    Yes the owners screwed us budget wise but we should be doing much better than we are if Pompey are anything to go by.

    Also other champ teams buy the best from league one and loads of them step up. We spent good money on the best league one talent last summer so how can the return be so shit? Are we just incapable of coaching a team in terms of attacking output?

    Jesus, just seen the Pompey Goalie error for the Stoke equaliser
    Would it be too much to ask for an opponent to f**k up against us in such a manner like that, or the Bolton goal?
    When was the last time we scored when we thought: "The opposition has gifted us that"

    Wouldn't have minded McGlynn in the summer either , another one that probably would have been in budget and has that creative spark.

    Norwich are coming good after another poor start to the season.

    Nearly scored as many in one game as we have all season.

    We are the dream side for anyone that hasn't won in a few games or has a badly out of form striker. We'll sort them out with 3 points and a goal.

    Went Ashton Gate today - Bristol City were absolutely dreadful. Can’t see Skubala lasting much longer there - fans were not happy

    Another lesson that at clubs like Lincoln, Brentford, Brighton etc. it’s not solely the manager that creates the success but the environment around them

    I can't imagine many people predicting that Preston, Derby and Charlton would all win this weekend.

    Burnley have now let in 4 against Lincoln, and 5 against Cardiff, and have conceded 31 in 15 games, the worst in the division. Extraordinary for a team that 2 seasons ago under Parker, conceded 16 goals all season!

    Burnley needed to have appointed an experienced Championship manager in their current situation but instead went for another no name European manager, who has made them even worse it seems. 

    They’ll panic again before too long and get a firefighter in. What’s Neil Warnock up to these days? One last hurrah?

    Pretty remarkable to be 15 games into the season, go 11 games without winning and somehow be 7 points clear of the drop

    Tom Brady has left Birmingham, much to the despair I'm sure of Sky Sports

    Is English football becoming less attractive to US investors?

    Yes since the new PSR rules - It's made it much less attractive -

    Strange time for him to leave though with them sat top of the league. His investment (although minor) would be worth a lot more if they get promoted.

    surely only a matter of time before Dyche is parachuted in there

    I agree.

    Maybe also they've realised that it's not so easy to buy a club in the lower leagues, get it promoted and then find a buyer willing to pay millions for a newly promoted team to compete against other very rich teams.

    I guess the enthusiasm from Trump's World Cup is beginning to fade.

    As the saying goes, a dog isn’t just for Christmas…I suspect the realisation that football clubs outside the PL are money pits that they have to keep continually feeding doesn’t help. In Birmingham’s case they spent a shed load of money to get promoted from L1 so that raised the bar considerably for their outgoings. They are now in their second season back in the Championship and with (over ?) ambitious plans to develop the stadium. The numbers that must be being thrown at the owners are probably eye-watering. They should have bought Charlton. They could have achieved everything, including stadium expansion, at a much lower cost and have had a club in London with a much bigger catchment area and population to recover their outgoings once they had attracted enough fans to fill the stadium.

    Dyche surely isn't going to take a job at the bottom of the championship, even with his history at Burnley.
