You go on and have your revolution. I won't be joining. If you want immediate success, suggest you pop down the road to Brentford or Fulham. Just have some patience. Even if we do get relegated, it might do us some good. I think we are much more likely to dissappear into the conference if the board and the owners decide that they don't need the aggro of fans protests etc. and pull out. |

Didn't see many complaining when we were signing all these players. I think most were actually complimentary about us having a clear out and a policy of signing younger, exciting players with potential. I think we need to give it more time before we start sacking everyone in sight. I believe MC is still learning about the EFL and needs to develop a plan B in line with the capabilities of the current makeshift team instead of sticking to his philosophy of playing out from the back which 9 times out of 10 gets us in trouble. |

Crazy decision. Have enjoyed watching his brand of football over the last few years. No loyalty in football anymore. Hope they get relegated now. Also hope we buck the trend and keep MC even if we get relegated. |

He has been absolute pants so far BUT with a midfield that would rather pass back to the defenders /keeper than take a chance with a quick forward pass, he is made to look even worse if that is possible.
Thought we were embarrassingly bad today. Exceptions were Cook, Nardi and Saito.
Cifuentes looked ultra p'd off but he picks the team and needs to start sorting it out. Amazed that Morgan was not in the starting line up after his performance v Coventry. |

Agree completely. Ref had a shocker. Not a red card for Varane, Smyth foul was not a foul, even yellow card for whiney weiman was not a yellow card. Refs who get demoted from the Premier league are generally crap in the championship. |

Arsenal time-wasting is off the scale and embarrassing. Must have been 5 or 6 Arsenal players faking injury by sitting on the ground. Pathetic. Love watching Villa and Liverpool who both play attractive football - this game was shite |

Surely you could see the difference he made last season. He was the missing link IMO.
He's had a bad start but he has a good footballing brain. I just think he doesn't have the options open to him which makes him look slow and laboured. Needs some of the forward players / full backs making runs. Same applies with Dembele who now seems to lose the ball more often than not. Need Madsen / Field / Paal to commit more to forward runs instead of safe side to side dross that we've been playing. I think Andersen will be alot better (like most of the other players) when we get Chair back and some stability in the team. Too many changes every week IMO. |

Agree with everything said - we definitely need a Hayden type player to boss the midfield. Field can't wait to pass it backwards. Madsen is a bit of a luxury - has a touch of class but not very dynamic and a bit slow. Don't know what's happened to Andersen this season - made a real difference when he came here but so far he has been so slow and ponderous. Can't play Madsen and Andersen together - no pace. I'd like to see Dembele play more central. EDB always wastes his opportunity when he is given a chance. I think Varane is getting better. We'll be alright when we get Chair back. Nardi and Frey were the standouts today. Loved Frey's sprint back down the pitch after scoring. That guy is seriously fit now. Good on him.
Can't say we've deserved to win a single game so far this season but Nardi and the defence seem to keep us in games and we come on a bit stronger later on. Bit worried that MC doesn't seem to know his best team/combination yet |

Poor performance but I thought SW pressing was quite good. Always first to the ball. Andersen looked knackered, Madsen didn't look up for the fight. Pleased that Santos had a decent enough game but I think Ashby will be playing next week. Frey got zero service and unfortunately Celar looks like a duck out of water. Just can't work out what he is good at!! Without Nardi, Dunne and Cook we'd have been slaughtered. At least they are showing spirit. |

Frey 12
Celar 8
Dykes 2 (both pens)
Armstrong 3 (will be sub for most games when they realise he doesn't score and runs out of gas after 30 mins) |

I wouldn't judge our ability to defend crosses on the Luton games. They have 4 or 5 huge players and probably put in more crosses than any other team. I thought we did as well as we could although there were a couple of times when Colback was marking Morris but fortunately the cheating bar steward chose to action his much practised swallow dive. What is it in these modern football shirts that, when pulled, makes the legs disappear beneath them. |

I don't think Newcastle will be too happy for him to be a stand-by player. I have a feeling that JCS might get snapped up by a PL club and we move Dunne back to CB. Hope not - I guess we'll know more when the teams are announced tonight |

He might have run alot but when was it ever effective? A bit more practising at getting in the right positions would have helped. Never that good in the air either IMO |

Ridiculous all this criticism of Santos - he's been here 5minutes. Who cares what his past is - he didn't cost anything and deserves a chance. He just scored v Luton - nice one. |

Poor old Birmingham - we've off-loaded them with a whole load of failures - Dozzell, Roberts, Sanderson, Laird and now the non-center forward center forward Dykes. Do they not do their homework and look at the stats for these players. |

Utter rubbish - of course MC is involved with who he wants to get rid of and who we sign. Obviously, Nourry gets the deals done and the finances. |

His diving is embarassing. He has already been labelled as a diver and the opposition will for sure let the ref know. Our penalty count is so low. I think MC summed up our play vs. 10 man Plymouth as not patient enough. Sums up Smyth who is skillful but too gung-ho (dictionary meaning...unthinkingly enthusiastic and eager). His finishing needs work - he always shoots at the keeper - try going round the keeper! His crossing is always hopeful - try cutting it back for a change. MC will soon lose patience if he carries on as he is going. |

Can't stand the ref and everything said about him is correct but he got all the big decisions right today - 2 red cards, no penalty against JCS. He even let play go when Smyth and both their wingers throw themselves down to the ground.
4 minutes was a joke but I think the extra minutes are worked out by the fourth official or maybe I am wrong on this.
Plymouth time wasting was not in the same league as Preston / Ben Pearson.
Don't think he spoilt the game at all - I thought it was entertaining from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat. |
