Just wonder if Peter is saying to John " I give you one fucking choice and you fuck that up' or ' I fucking told you Moyes was a better option' Seriously lets hope we can get a win this week and maybe kick on and get some confidence into the team, you never know We start confident then butland happens

Effort wasn't the problem on Friday, but tactical ability. I really wonder what NJ is doing at the training ground to stop us from conceding goals at the back post game after game? To pick Carter-Vicker instead of Batth when this is the situation is another baffling decision to me. Probably because CCV had back to back good performances v Brentford and at Crawley whereas Batth has played poorly since his (excellent) partnership with Shawcross was broken up. I've seen all the league games this season and I can't agree with you. In most of our games Batth has stood out as our best defender in my opinion, but he can't always compensate for defensive mistakes made by Allen, McClean and Butland. He wins almost every header he goes for, is the one defender that most probably would block a shot and is the true leader of our defenders when Ryan is out. Carter-Vickers hasn't impressed me, too weak in the air, at all so far and the same could be said about Lindsay. I guess it's down to opinions, but Batth would be the first on my team sheet.

For what it is worth I thought when Baath replaced Lindsay at Brentford the back three seemed okay and I have no idea why Jones has not given them a run. Jones seems to think that he cannot play two up front if he plays a back three which I think is nonsense.

It’s a bit like transfers in and out.....no one really knows My theory is the “lunch” with PC on Thursday was more than that and they laid out a potential exit plan. Say what you like about the Coates family, but they tend to dispose of services in the correct manner. Do prospective managers join a club on the up? No, because there wouldn’t be a vacancy. It’s all about the level of risk versus likely success. We are punching well BELOW our weight and therefore may not like as unattractive as some think. Interesting is this was dressed up as a normal weekly lunch they have on Thursdays, yet every week they do the press conference on Thursdays. Watching rowett on sky on friday he said about the owners that he spoke 2-3 times a week and would always have lunch as usual with the chairman on fridays. I think there was something in this given his demeanour in the interviews post match. Most reports bar spinks suggest he will be here to carry out the Monday press conference,no mention of the match on Tuesday

Edward's was that terrified of making a mistake he made two massive ones that cost us goals. Exactly, you could see the terror in his face. The players want the boss to stay, in my opinion. Probably for the simple reason that a new manager may look at several of these players and drop them straight away. There will always be an element of self interest when things are not going well.

There’s better managers out there who’re out of work, I think the problem is the owners process they have to work under is the problem I really do. Would you work under Scholes, from what I’ve been told you wouldn’t Sure there are. But how many "better" managers fancy managing in L1 next season? Scholes is a minor problem, if even that. Not many know who he is. Of course they will eventually find out at the negotiating table.

I could have written that article after reading posts on this board. Sounds a bit speculative to me. You're waiting for the one linking us with TP to believe aren't you? Not at all. Unless something has changed Dave dismissed that link.

Youve seen that Knot FM poll haven’t you where 46% so far want him to stay😮Absolute madness wtf ?? what poll is it on here ? didn't the sentinel run one a couple of weeks ago and the majority wanted him to stay and fight through this? I expect the result will be the same if polled again tomorrow

I'm not sure that was to do with playing 3 at the back I think he was trying to find a balance that would help protect the defence more, can't really blame him when he gets let down by those at the back every week.

He had all summer to search for the players to make Stoke grt again, Coates the tight arse promised and never gave us 'the rock the city player' goals win games and even a blind muppet could see we were a long way off. Joes has only league 1 and 2 knowledge and his selection was PISS POOR that's why we are bottom, if we get relegated Jones could bring us up LOL
