Hats off to the one-eyes commentators on the athletics today for superb examples of bollocks partisan coverage. The woman I just heard replayed on 5 Live failed to mention any other athlete than Wightman at all down the finishing straight. Even after someone else had won. No one at all. The...

First the points. Then the joy. Only a little bit though.

Glad we can’t erase his impact here. Or we’d already be in the Championship.

We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to previous managers looking for work to pull us out of our slump. Only one of the last four has a gig, and that’s not a real one.

All the best @pagey. Went through something similar with my lad way back when and all worked out fine. Best wishes.

Throat to choke.

You’re making the mistake of applying reasonable logic rather than the emotion and hubris that will ultimately tell. At some institutional level GON was their man, to the point they would have persisted if he got a result against Ipswich. VP is his own, and I don’t think they’ll hesitate to pull...

I’ve not seen the game, but don’t doubt the judgement of those of you that have. There are extenuating circumstances about today’s game though (but the trend is the trend, I know…), so I’m not giving up on some misplaced hope until I see how we go next week. Which is huge. Amidst the nonsense...

Like I say, crazy prep for this game so I’m not reading much into it. That said, 4 of our key summer signings start on the bench, 2 of them seemingly straight drops.

Agree we’re getting beat. VP has to get a pass on this one though. Ludicrously late acquisitions and potential sales, then the FFS international break mean he’s got to cobble something together shotgun. We’ve basically only allowed him to get started with whatever he wants to do from Monday.

Got to be 3-5-2. The formation of my playing life. Stodgeball.

Alrightee! It’s back to the early 90s and 3-5-2 with a ‘play through that’ approach. Did not see that coming.

Still sore from my suggestion that one day Fabio Silva might match his output, Rafa Mir bags once again. This time against his old club Sevilla.

No one could have possibly done better with that squad than Gary O’Neil.

Unlike Dave Edwards and the other official podcast guy, I’m just too stupid to understand how amazing that would have been. I only watch him with my own eyes every week, including off the ball, so am only operating at the layman’s level of him seemingly being miles off the level of an acceptable...
