....Two decent teams who will do well this year. Therefore, two defeats against very good opposition. Not great but to be expected given our current predicament. Like others, I’m not happy but for fucks sake chill yer beans lads, we’ll be reyt.

Absolutely shocking, I agree when fixtures came out I didn’t expect anything from these 2 games, but cmon, let’s give it some guys!!, and bollocks to leaving grant out of the squad, play him, never mind protecting him, and if he doesn’t want to play, still play him!! He’s our player and has a contract, thoughts guys?

About as rough a start as we could've had in terms of opposition. Brentford had the right game plan today, press from the front because we don't have the quality to progress from the back. Hopefully that'll change with Sarr and Eiting coming in. There were encouraging aspects of both games. We matched Norwich for most of the game but made no chances. Today we were totally outclassed but created slightly more, although still not nearly enough. Two improvements in the starting lineup- Mbenza offered more than Bacuna in a front 3 (although he still didn't play very well), and Bacuna offered more than Jackson in midfield.
That being said, there's some serious cause for concern about the squad depth that's so obvious it's not really worth stating. Combined with 2 players coming down with hamstring injuries, I think even if we reinforced the squad the required amount we'd be in for a tough time this season injury wise. I'm generally quite optimistic about Town, but the attacking options we have available are scarily lacking. We barely scraped up with 52 goals last season, and the players we still have contributed 14. This season would be a real baptism of fire for Carlos even if the club was backing him properly. But if they continue not to, we'll lose to much worse teams than Norwich and Brentford.

Its a difficult one, i get the fact some say he should play cos the current lot couldnt score in the proverbial, but hes our only asset and if he got badly injured a sale would be out of the question.

UTT Would it have been any different if it had been Wycombe and Rotherham we kicked off against, we'll never know but I'm not sure it would have been, two 0-0 draws.

Rumour is they both want Pritchard. If that’s him trying to impress imagine how shit he’ll be next week.

Brentford lost to Brum first game and Norwich have just drawn to Preston at home. Let's not paper over the cracks of what's going on at our own club.

Yeah I know what your saying pal, I agree on that point, looking like West Brom might give up on the chase, they want to sign slimani from Leicester now, the chance to sell to them might have gone

It's all very well saying Brentford & Norwich are fancied teams, if you can't get efforts on goal, you won't win many games. I agree they were 2 hard games but Rochdale should not have been.

Didn't see Norwich but Brentford were not great for me.
I fear for us when we find a decent team who are really at it.

Norwich were very poor. Can't comment on Brentford as I didn't watch. Any team in the league can beat town with ease. A good team will batter us.

Like others, I’m not happy but for fucks sake chill yer beans lads, we’ll be reyt. UTT Losing to Norwich and Brentford on the surface is not a surprise, or something to be embarrassed about. The worry is we have played three games, scored no goals and never looked like scoring. Our squad is weak and unbalanced and there are no guarantees it will be strengthened, even if we sell and bring more money in. Two defeats against two teams who likely make the play offs at least is not the concern. The ineffective performances, weak squad and general direction of the club definately are. I try to be positive when I can, and balanced when I can't, but I am really worried about the way the club are being run at the moment. Yes, it's early days, and we have better players to come in, but the signs are not good. The melodramatics by some are a bit over the top, but fuck me, a blind man could see we are in a mess. There is time to start to turn things around, but my worry is we don't have the will, money or nous to do so. I hope I'm wrong, but things have to change. And fast.

The Baggies will complete their signings with an old striker with a poor scoring record in recent seasons.

I would be concerned if that was the team we were stuck with this season. It isn't and we aren't. We've got Sarr, O'Brien, Eiting and hopefully Pereira to come in for the Forest game and Ward hopefully soon after. Along with the striker on loan Maynard mentioned (Bonatini?) and hopefully a winger as well.

I’m finding it pretty hard to disagree - it’s hard to be measured about events - the wall of silence from the club’s senior management allows a sense of drifting to develop along with an implied acceptance of potential relegation. Being beaten by Norwich & Brentford is one thing but being beaten so comfortably and without looking like scoring is another

It’s not the two defeats that’s pissing fans off. It’s the repetitive nature of the two defeats plus the other 100 previous to it. We all know what’s going to happen before a balls kicked and it’s from the same faces over and over again. The clubs in a spiral, I think for the club and players sake it’s a good job fans aren’t able to attend. This shit started before this season and before last season. Fans have been more than patient, we’ve put up with some right shit for far too long.

Spot on ben....not listened to it, watched it or kept up online as i was playing cricket,but right now im just not that bothered. This bunch of players with notable exceptions is simply rotten......they arent bloody good enough! Ive logged on to see the comments and so predictable.....we are shit, pathetically inadequate and dont look like a team with any desire to turn it round. 3 games....0 goals, 5 against and no real evident change. Hey ho so be it......but the club neeed to be very careful...folks are becoming disinterested in droves and we have to be serious....right now league 1 is looking very real again.

Personally I’m not angry with the players, imagine being Hogg or Schindler and having to put up with the absolute shit served up from the board this past two years after what they both achieved with the club. Even Diakbenza and Hamer aren’t being shit on purpose, all three players should never have been bought and the club should have done the decent thing and cut their losses a long time ago. This fcuking shitshow is down to Dean Hoyle and Phil Hodgkinson, nobody else.
