Can anyone confirm that we are currently 6 wins from 26 games?
I'm sure that's a stat I've seen somewhere.
Maybe Ian Holloway or Schteeve McClaren can confirm it?
Love this club.

The difference is we are playing some decent stuff and we are a team being built on a tight budget . |  | | |

We have still spent money this year Essex
I cannot believe that we didn’t recruit a left back and another midfielder
Thomas, Willock , Adamoh , only one was needed when you throw in chair & BOS |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Decent stuff?
I'd beg to differ - we are fits nd starts and all a bit Chanel 4 Blue Movie
Tight budget?
Is that a new thing? Maybe that's why we are investing in crocks then and letting good players go for £250k and not replacing them.
PNE didn't break a sweat tonight. They cruised through that game and were so PNE even PNE were jealous of how we were naively sucked in and spat out. We've won a game this season, one more than Wycombe I grant you, but even that was down to rank finishing by Lewis Grabban. The club is just an absolute malaise and despite most thinking we are heading in the right direction I just cannot see it, we absolutely screamm acceptance of under achievement and defeat. | |

We’ve bought 2 forwards who’ve sat in B teams for 3 years, one who takes cracking penalties so let’s hope we get 20 of them this season, Bonne who can only play in a 2 up front when we play one up front, Carroll who no one liked here years ago and Adomah whose likely on his last legs.
Is that the strategy with £20m when we offload a good one? |  | | |

Totally agree about the left back , to have left ourselves with an untried player at this level and a bloke who has 1 decent game in 5 is unbelievable . | | | |

It worked in 96 when we sold our star striker for big money and signed a load of random players
Oh hang on | |

Whats the strategy with the 20 Mil then , buy 2 for 10.mil each ? How much will you pay them and with what ..if one pick up an injury ? Or 4 for 5 mil.same question . All this with no match day revenue . They apre on a hiding to nothing | | | |

Its a relatively new thing to accept it and work within it ,Our passing at times is really good to watch .As I have said the LB situation is a sht show ..Preston scored as many from open play as we did
Our first choice LB handed them the points . | | | |

It doesn't look like playing in empty stadiums is doing us any favours as results have not been great. The last time we played in front of a crowd we won at Preston with 10 men and we looked good.
Still Birmingham next, who have only won once in their last twenty games. Just the ticket for Charity Park Rangers to graciously oblige another away win. I do hope they prove me wrong... |  | | |

I think your first para is spot on. As soon as PNE scored we gave up. There was precious little fight or energy evident after that, and the second goal erased what bit there was. If there were supporters in the ground I very much doubt the players would have been allowed to leave the pitch in one piece after such a spineless performance. Our fans would have been behind them and on the backs of Preston players for time-wasting, and the ref for allowing them to do it. We still might not have won, but there would have been a response or else... So far as I could tell only Kakay (again!) played a full ninety and emerged with any credit, the rest of them threw in the towel before half time. Shameful [Post edited 22 Oct 2020 0:51]

well, the last couple of seasons we've relied on loans from the premiership to fill our 2 striking options. In the long run this isn't sustainable - high wages, no return, recall options etc. And it doesn't necessarily bring success, for every wells mark 2 and hugil there's a wells mark 1 and hemed.
So, we've bitten the bullet and signed some forwards of our own, but they aren't at the same level as last seasons,yet, and probably they were never going to be within our financial structure. I view them as projects and this team, another work in progress, building towards next season, hopefully.
I would have loved it if we could have kept Hugil, wells and Eze, built on what we had and had a promotion push this season, but it wasn't ever going to happen.
As for Warnock and building from the back, I think work has been done there, at the moment we are getting done by individual mistakes as opposed to the actual set up IMHO | | | |

Wasn’t we making loads of individual mistakes last year ? and we signed one player and that was to replace Hall | |

The biggest concern to me last night ( apart from Wallace of course), was the almost total lack of goal scoring opportunities that we created. Apart from Adomah’s late effort the only shots I can recall were Kakay, Wallace and Barbet’s long range conversion attempts.
I just can’t remember a game where our threat to the opposition’s goal was as non-existent as it was last night. People seem to be saying “Oh well, it’s sixteenth again.” But we only achieved thirteenth with a team in which Wells, Eze and Hugill were pinging them in from all angles. | | | |

Here we go again.
For me we are a side who at our best can challenge for the playoffs and at our worst could get relegated but will probably end up somewhere in the middle. Last night was crap and can't say I've been overly impressed so far this season but always think you have a good idea where you are after 10 games.
