It’s too late now. We won’t win next weekend, then the fixtures are pretty much unwinnable for any manager with the quality of our squad (which has been the problem all along). Southampton Sunderland Hull Watford Leeds The games we needed more points from were Plymouth, Blackburn, QPR and next Saturday. Sunderland, Watford and Hull all blow hot and cold, have erratic results, anything could happen in these 3 games, Soton and Leeds are in good form and would expect losses, but wouldn't say any of these 5 games are unwinnable, footie is a strange game. We just blow cold though!

Not much to discuss really. Another manager and we’re still bloody crap To close to the bottom three for comfort. I suppose a draw for you tomorrow would be best for us 🤞 Nothing much changing for you either by the look of it. Suppose we’re both just hoping there are three worse teams and we start again next year Bloody depressing 😡 We’re hoping for points deductions for a team or two. I don’t know anyone thinking we’ll do better than fourth from bottom at the moment. It’s depressing from appointing a new coach from “a position of strength”. FWIW, I think you’ve appointed a good one.

Anyone know how long Burgzorg is out for? Presumably Balker is now fit, training and likely to start on Sunday. Hopefully Bojan suffered no adverse effects and we have a go at QPR. Sounds like it’s last chance saloon time!

No idea how Dewsbury-Hall didn’t get a yellow card for that dive earlier.

I remember the promotion season away at York and some dickhead threw a firework at Iain Dunn when we were attacking their goal. To this day the most stupid thing I've seen from a Town fan. They tried to throw it at their keeper but missed and it hit Dunn. Think we had a corner before it was thrown. We were down to 10 men, lost 3-0 and it was foggy/raining on the open terrace- the firework topped it off 👌😂 “He’s got no ears, but we don’t care” almost made it worth going for. Poor Iain, but great gallows humour on a shit day. I remember the infamous Shrewsbury debacle, immortalised by the Warnock rant, as being an amusing day out too. One of those that’s just comically bad that it becomes a memorable away trip.

Hasn’t KN basically said we have to beat QPR? So, that’s the answer. We probably won’t beat them and he’ll be gone next week.

I don’t think that but if he goes they have no idea what the next one will be like, and most of them have been through a lot of managerial changes recently, so some stability is probably no bad thing for them. As I said they will all have played under worse managers. Healey has just come from a club where the manager hardly played him to a club where his starts two days after joining. I don’t think he will be unhappy. I'm sure he'll be delighted when Moore's still here and Healeys a league 1 player, under him, next season. So, Rhys, welcome to Huddersfield Town … what first attracted you to League 1 football?

Rowett for me. Even Alex Neill. Pearson at a push. Someone who knows the division. Not exciting, but might keep us up.

I just hope he can get a win next week. Not because I like him, but because we’re in massive trouble now. Lose that and don’t beat Wednesday, then Southampton away, we’re looking for snookers.

I was in a meeting with Troy Townsend and he was ranting about how badly his mate Darren Moore had been treated by Sheffield Wednesday having got them promoted. The implication was that it was because he was black. I just don’t get that because as mad as Chansiri is, he must’ve noticed his colour when he gave him the job. I didn’t say owt as I know it would’ve been noted by my company and not been the done thing.

That Forest keeper has been totally inept all season. It comes to something when I say I’d prefer yours! They seem to have had 2 or 3 poor ones . I don’t know. Samba and Navas were decent. We’ve had much worse. You have now!

He’s not set that wall up very well has he?! Just side foot it through the massive gap with the keeper stood the other side. Superb! 👏🏻 Toney moved the ball it seems/. Lucky the ref didn't spot that. VAR get involved? That Forest keeper has been totally inept all season. It comes to something when I say I’d prefer yours!

I’m just glad we moved quickly to get him before anyone else did and that we did it from a position of strength. Jake Edwards and Mark Cartwright need to go with him for being both incompetent and sickeningly smug.

Thing is Kevin Russell would be caretaker. First game in charge of the B team, lost 8-0 at home to Forest! 🤦🏻♂️

Just after throwing his players under the bus, at the weekend. I noticed Reece Brown got a mention for being a senior pro who couldn’t get to work on time! I’d always been curious what happened at Town for him to never get a look in, so that might explain it a bit.

Not many home fans in the ground either Agreed, but Blackpool don’t profess to be akin to Barcelona. Mrs Auto get you a dictionary for a Christmas pressie? Not heard language like “akin to” from you before!

Piss poor away following from Forest. Big club….. my arse. A few lads at work are Bristol City fans and I was asking who they wanted next round. They all agreed that they’d go out whoever they played as it’s “typical City to only raise their game against the big clubs”. Oh how I laughed! 😂

The difference between Warnock and Moore, I think, is that NW knew the limitations of the players and tried to play to their strengths. Square pegs in square holes. The players knew their limitations too and it was all about them doing their job, doing the things they were good at (or less bad anyway) and nothing else. He kept it simple tactically and the rest was then down to man management, which he believes is his strength and the most important part of a manager’s job.

That Ben Johnson looks useful for West Ham. I think Leeds are trying to get him on loan.

What a start by Bristol City! That tackle on Ings was miles worse than the one this ref sent the Leicester lad off for on Saturday Very lucky there was no VAR. A proper FA Cup lower league challenge or “reducer” as Big Racist would’ve said.

I'm surprised no investigative journalist has looked into the events surrounding that play off final. I mean we played without passion, no shots on target,then coberan gets a lucrative contract in Greece from Forest owner, then a few weeks later gets sacked and paid up £ms on his contract?? Plus, they signed our two best players on the cheap. I was surprised the club never kicked up any kind of a fuss about it. A more cynical person than me might wonder how widespread or high up the corruption went.

Carlos was tactically superb. Moore has one system and plays it even though he doesn't have the players to carry it off He had the ability to change systems multiple times during a game, something we've not seen very often here. Does Moore even have a system? You hate Corberan, don’t you?

Here’s the paradox. Forest fans moaning that the Premier League don’t want clubs like them to be able to compete with the big boys … yet they’re absolutely massive, surely?!
