Just hope the remaining games have far less controversy than our game against France and many others with strange decisions.
Its decisions like in the England France game and Stoke Cardiff one that makes it very hard to believe how real the fairness of the officiating is.

Sterling when fit has been excellent. Fingers crossed we can get him in permanently.

Decent goal poor defending if im honest. Awful defending, definitely not Souttars fault though.

We should seriously consider bids over £20m.
Souttar wouldnt be here if he hadn't got injured. When he got injured, our season crumbled, as did our defence and we lost our most dangerous player.
He oozes class and he deserves to show how good he is in the top flight on a regular basis.
If we spend it well we could really change the squad, which is what many suggest is needed.

Under a manager that would happily blood our youngsters I would agree. Under this manager I reckon we're more likely to spend money on youngsters from other clubs than blood our own. He has very little track record for it. I'm disappointed that the local reporters haven't brought him up on his blatant lies that we don't have any wingers in the club when he has bombed DWP completely out of the picture. Thats concerning me too Hes got good acceleration, touch and agility. Whats to like? He doesn't appear blistering quick over a distance though, which may be what Neil is looking for. There have been times he could/should have been brought onto the pitch to give the opposition something to think about.

About £20m

Nathan Collins being sold to Wolves for £20.5m helps to show we bring through talent. We've got a great chance of getting £20m+ for Souttar. He deserves to play in the premier league too.

Looks very impressive. Being skeptical, did Man Utd and Man City play lower age group kids in this cup? Thanks

With the amount of constant change that had been required to bring the wage down, which he did really well, it was only this summer he really had a chance to start improving things. It would have been better to sack him at the end of last season if they didn't have faith. So to then sack him a few games in, was just dumb and a waste of a season. Neil has a much easier chance to reshape this squad as it will be easier to get players out the door. They absolutely should have got rid of him at the end of last season, it’s insane that they didn’t. Maybe. You have to wonder though with the amount of managers that have been decent before us and decent after. Rowett, 6th in Championship with Millwall. Jones, made it to the premier league before we did O'Neil, ensuring he doesnt have to return his compo.

It's not Neils team for sure. When O'Neil was manager the view on here was we had a play off capable squad, but MON was the one holding us back not getting the best out of them. That very same squad is now seen as a complete shambles under the new manager and that its the players who are at fault. Appears to be selective views. Managers need time, the last one did, this one does. The last one had three years and we were starting to falter under him.

He's a decent manager, but so are Rowett, Jones and O'Neil, it just didnt work out as hoped with them.
We need to identify a style as a club and let a manager have like 5 years to implement it, changing the manager if they dont deliver.
Neil needs 5 years, but so did the others.
This is not a quick fix.

He's definitely playing for his next contract and right now youd like to think we will be making an offer.
Historically his crossing has been very poor for us, but tonight it was excellent.
Good squad player.

so thats what a save looks like! More of a miss than a save in my book, I'd expect any random fan out of the stands to save that one. like a lot of shots we've faced

Big and bold change up. Lots of pressure on Bonham there If he saves the first shot he's done his job Or any shot

Every game he makes a mistake his price lowers and he’s prone to a mistake every game It’ll come to the point soon where we’re paying someone to sign him Surely we are already there?

Bursik was not responsible for either goal today. First goal was Fox and Jags. Second goal was the inept defending of Clarke. However, Bursik got himself into horrible positions for both goals. Whilst not the main cause of the concession, the first went through him and for the second he was in no man’s land. I’m not sure what any keeper would have done better for the second but for the first he could have been more compact. I would be happy to see us bring in a Crossley type replacement in January. 100% at fault for the second goal. He takes too many risks for a goalkeeper. Attempting to take a cross that has gone past the backpost on a corner means the opposition just needs to get a shot on target to score and guess what, that's what happened. He wasn't at fault for the first, but any other keeper you'd think would have had a chance in saving it, with him, you know it's in the back of the net. Without watching all the keepers in this league, he's the worst I've seen and wouldnt be surprised if he is the bottom rated of those who have played a similar amount of games. I've never known a Stoke team to concede so many goals from so few shots on goal. Happy for him to be a second / third choice and develop, but if he's not prepared to do that, I would be more than happy for him to leave.

MON gets sacked for not getting the most out of a play off worthy squad.
AN needs more time because the team is shit and he needs to get his own team.
Go figure.
Both decent managers, like the two beforehand to be fair.
Like most things, growth takes time and solidarity..unfortunately managers won't get it because of fans expectation; rightly or wrongly.

re defence Also Kilkenny is back training outside again so hopefully back soon. Doesn't help with the 5 from 6 loanees conundrum though! so far I don't think we've had a single game where all 6 have been available , not an issue would look to sign Sterling & Fosu (both out of contract next summer) permanently in January Apart from one or two games Fosu has offered next to nothing, he's direct, exciting but ineffective. So fingers crossed we look for better after his loan Sterling on the other hand looks like being a proper right back, easily prem standard.

As you’ve been watching how many chances have been created for any of our forwards (including Gayle) over the last10 games, how many have been missed? Asking because I haven’t watched the same games Owde...they won't reply 'cos they don't like the answer. The truth is we create very little in terms of clear cut chances for any of our forwards, because our midfield has been very poor indeed. Baker's delivery is woeful, Laurent has gone awol and Smallbone is too light weight for this league. Fosu tries hard but has only put in one decent cross so far (horrible miss from Powell). Our inability to beat the 'first man' is one of the most frustrating things I have ever seen, and it happens oh so frequently, even from set pieces Ty has missed 2 good chances, Delap 1 and now Powell as above. The rest have been half chances, often created for themselves by the forwards. Midfield lack of creativity is further condemned by the ease in which the opposition by passes them when attacking our defence. Seeing Powell and Thompson start last night is the first bit of positivity for some time. The scary thing is, we have the joint third highest xg in the league. So, we aren't being as clinical as "expected". footystats.org/england/championship/xg

Smallbone doing his best to fuck us over. How did he not cut out that pass before their disallowed goal?

What the fuck is a “centre cirtle”, it’s driving me way crazier than it should but it’s so amateurish Its the middle of the pitch, where the forwards pull their stockings up before kicking off.

Bursik Clarke Wilmot Jagielka Fox Baker Thompson Brown Powell Tymon Gayle Looks a solid balanced team It’ll be a back 5 to match them up So 5-3-2? With the players on the pitch that only works in my head if the two full backs are high up the pitch acting primarily as wingers ahead of defending. He probably likes how he can go between two formations with the personnel.

u21s 4-0 down already. They're conceding buckets of goals this season - and not scoring many developing well for the first team then?

How can he coach his genius into others?
He did things I've never seen forwards or wingers do before him or since.
Could be a great coach for Campbell.
