Good manager Chris Wilder until it s starts to go wrong and then it appears he struggles to get it back on track. Always comes across as a complete knob when things don't go his way so you do wonder if his attitude loses the dressing room. |  | | |

I don't think anyone would have had Boro struggling so badly, or Huddersfield or Coventry for that matter. | |

TBF I did say Huddersfield would struggle.
Reading, Coventry and Boro I'm surprised at.
I'm not that surprised at West Brom, wish I'd stuck to my guns and had them midtable. | | | |

Yeah Reading are a peculiar one, I am hoping that after we batter them on Friday they will sink like a stone. They can't be this lucky every year.
Also surprised Brum are doing as well as they are. | |

I have Middlesborough in a promotion treble with Ipswich and Salford.
Just cannot believe how badly they are playing. | | | |

Something must have gone on in the dressing room and behind the scenes up there. Huge surprise they’re doing so badly with that squad.
West Brom, I think are the biggest under performers. Their first XI and bench has to be the strongest in depth in the league. Their wage bill must be HUGE. If any manager deserves the sack, it is Bruce. Game has moved on and he’s out of his depth. Their squad should be challenging for automatic.
I assume the only reason he’s still in the job is because of the chairman’s ego. Isn’t Bruce a mate of his who he was desperate to bring in?
Reading are weird. Hopefully we stuff them on Friday and the wheels falls off. Interested about Utd. McBurnie is on fire but his career record is pretty poor so can’t see him keeping that up, and I’m not sure their squad is a deep as others think.
Watford are hugely under performing and still the most likely to win the league, IMO. Them or boring old Norwich. |  | | |

West Brom's owner has gone skint, is desperate to offload the club, took £5m out of it last year to prop up one of his other businesses. I wonder whether the cost of sacking Bruce might come into this. | | | |

Brum have a good progeressive young manager plus they added Bielik who is prem class when fit and Chong from manU.
Hogan has rediscovered his scoring touch plus plenty of experience at the back. Mid table easily for them unless behind the scenes rerails them.
I think many of the teams best starting 11's are pretty good however age, injuries, suspensions, squad depth is going to effect how teams remain consistent.
Hope Dyche doesnt get involved in this league as I quite like the ways clubs are pressing the panic button so early.
Love to see Alex Neal jump ship from Stoke to Boro |  |

Same here. Every season my syndicate picks five lines of accumulators picking one team from each of the top four divisions. I had Boro in four of my five lines! |  | | |

On Saturday I speculated who'd be first to go - Wilder or Bruce.
Now we know. Hardly a shock, although Boro's start is. |  |

They were best team at Loftus Road last year, slightly terrifying. |  |

Although Wilder is very different to new coaches like Beale and all that bullshit about modern day methods etc.. I would take Wilder in a heartbeat as a QPR manager. | | | |

I don't know about that. He'd more than likely have got us in the play-offs as he's a decent manager on a bad run.
I imagine Steve Bruce will have some more time for his novel writing pretty soon too. | | | |

My point was more that changing a manager isn’t always the answer. The evidence at Boro doesn’t support the idea he might’ve got us in the playoffs, especially with the personnel he would have had, which certainly doesn’t suit his very particular style.
Warbs was also a good manager on a bad run, but i suppose when it’s your own club you have less patience. Gibson doesn’t usually act quickly either. I don’t think we’ll see much of Wilder as a force at this level anymore personally. | |

That must be one of the few key reasons why Bruce is still in the job. Anyone else surely would have gone by now? |  |

This is quite strange.
Northernr said in his match preview before we played Sheffield United in October 2017: 'Since taking over at Bramall Lane at the start of last season Chris Wilder has won 40 and drawn ten of his 60 matches in charge — only Antonio Conte and Mauricio Pochettino have a better record in this country over the same period of time'.
I wonder if the problem is that Wilder is one of those people who needs complete control of everything so finds it difficult to get on with owners? That seemed to be the reason why he left Sheffield United when Abdullah took full control of the club. |  |

I am not so sure Wilder will be unduly worried about losing the Boro job, he will get another decent job soon. Never really thought he was totally comfortable at Boro. |  | | |

Given how he was eased out saying the club wanted a change of direction, I suspect our old friend Uncle Neil will be having a wry smile today. [Post edited 3 Oct 2022 15:04]

Obvious as soon as that result v Coventry came in.
Not sure I'd want to swap Beale with any other manager in the division right now and I'm surprised any other Rs fan would.
Somebody needs to explain Reading to me though. |  |

Well it is truthful to say they got a change of direction I guess |  |
