I don’t know what’s spoiling my enjoyment of the game more … VAR or Dion Dublin?

I think I’m starting to understand why DM didn’t bother filling the bench …

The problem isn’t his age (I’ve lost count of the times his lack of pace has been mentioned, even when he was younger), it’s service. Give him chances in and around the box, chances are he’ll put a few away. It really is that simple.

No, not Adama Diakhaby (although, it might explain a few things) … documentary on ITVX. Incredible story (about half way through).

Watching the game tonight and you really have to wonder how on earth Horsham held Barnsley to a draw at Oakwell. Yeah, a shame for Horsham that they’re not doing themselves justice tonight. They’re a good club in a nice town. Barnsley should bring a good crowd to GGL. Could be an interesting game as Sutton are starting to turn things around at last. Hopefully you’ll get to see Max Watters at some stage! 🎣

We need players who are up to standard, so lads who have played at Championship level or above (yes, Wiles might be the case against this approach). We can’t be taking punts on project players from lower divisions or abroad if we want to stay up from the position we are likely to be in. Finding the money and persuading them to come is another matter. It’s already starting to feel like too little too late, but hopefully we pick up the odd point before then. In terms of the overall management of the club, it’s been a disaster. Give Warnock a new contract and appoint backroom staff, let loads of players go and don’t invest properly, sack Warnock … well, you know the rest.

He wouldn’t have got a second game. Didn’t we lose 3-0 at home to Reading in his first game (I think it may have been 3-0 at half-time and I remember NW was annoyed by Mark McGee whistling as he walked down the tunnel)?! My Dad always tells of two incidents from that season. First one was in the Autoglass, where a young Danny Murphy scored a screamer of a goal in front of 2,287. Some bloke started chanting "Warnock Out" as soon as it hit the back of the net and they exchanged a few choice words and a shove. Then a match against Brighton in March 1994, where he recalls more-or-less the whole ground singing "Neil Warnock, you're a wanker, you're a wanker". He always says that the Autoglass saved him and before that, most of the fans absolutely hated him. Obviously after going on to do what he did in 1994-95, it's seldom mentioned, but he was deeply unpopular. Reading the letters in The Examiner from around that time are golden, including this classic from October 1993: When we lost at home to a hapless Barnet side (who finished bottom and hadn’t won a game at that point and only won 4/5 all season), people weren’t calling him a genius that’s for sure!

God knows cos the football was dire in his first season. Tbf he wouldnt have got a 2nd season in the current climate. He wouldn’t have got a second game. Didn’t we lose 3-0 at home to Reading in his first game (I think it may have been 3-0 at half-time and I remember NW was annoyed by Mark McGee whistling as he walked down the tunnel)?!

Yeah, he wasn’t right good. I preferred the other managers that got us promoted to the Premier League … Hilariously, one criticism of Corberan is he didn’t get us to the Premier League. In my opinion, what he achieved was even better than DW as we finished third on more points, positive GD and worse/cheaper squad. Have you conveniently ignored the part where I said his first two years were brilliant? Not aimed specifically at you. I just think we, as supporters and a club, don’t realise the value of good coaching/management. Wagner, Corberan and Warnock all got a hell of a lot more out of the players at their disposal or with the budget they worked within than they are given credit for. This is partly why we’ve ended up in such a mess. The results have masked the poor quality and those who you’d like to think know better have seemingly thought the players are better than they are (with CC and NW in particular).

Sacking Warnock and replacing him with Moore was like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving, so very apt.

Kieran Phillips on loan at Shrewsbury. Again, done nothing. That's because he's been injured for a while and now had an operation. I believe he's been sent back to Town for rehab. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67302094I didn’t realise that, but “Phillips has yet to find the net in 10 appearances this season” so hardly Rhodes-like, who most Town fans bizarrely don’t rate!

... he is out of favour... at Ross County! He came on against Celtic on Saturday. No wonder they get battered in Europe. Play against Scott High on Saturday, Griezmann on Tuesday!

Rhodes wanted to leave as clearly Warnock wasn’t going to play him. It’s the failure to replace him at all that irritates. It was just plain stupid. I do know that Nagle agrees it was wrong to let him go. We also have Simpson out on loan. He has played a lot but I don’t think he has actually scored yet. Wasn’t he 500k. ? Doesn’t look like a good buy. Ideally in January we need some young prem loans in to help. I’m sure everybody will be after them though. Kieran Phillips on loan at Shrewsbury. Again, done nothing.

I’m sure Scholes won’t be losing much sleep over what Curtis Woodhouse thinks of him. The only thing I will say about Scholes is he would have been sent off a hell of a lot more if he hadn’t played for Man U under Fergie.
Isn’t it lovely to see Newcastle in their traditional green Saudi kit?

Why aren't Chelsea just getting a runner from deep and playing it through for them. They would be miles onside with a clear run on goal Instead they keep trying to play in Sterling and Jackson who are constantly offside Because tactical genius Poch is manager, the most overrated manager in the world, a man who failed to win the league with PSG in one of his seasons there!

VAR ruining a great game. It won’t finish until tomorrow at this rate. I think this game needs VAR how the fk can anyone see all that's going on in it Fair point. The pendulum has well and truly swung now. Losing Romero was one thing, bringing on Dier makes it even worse.

Wasn’t Smax the chewing gum? They also used to sell Wagon Wheels back when they were the size of wagon rather than pram wheels. Think the chewing gum was “Clix”, came in a blister pack. Smax was like a bag of biscuit snack things. Remember the fish and chips biscuit snacks and wagon wheels as well. They used to wheel a trolley with hot pies in it around the touch line as I remember. My grandad would tell me stories of money being passed down the crowd to the front and pies being sent back up over head, couldn’t imagine that now. You’re right. Clix, of course!
