I listened on catchup , and skipped through , but what was it Ian Gay said ? I caught the bit about having 8 games to save his job, but that just seems obvious, given our results , and not like telling the World undisclosed transfer fees.

I'm a fan of Piercy , his recent article was very good , Owers is always sensible and interesting . But I have to give credit to the presenter, that was the best show for some time, definitely since JT left. I'd love them to do this sort of thing once a month or so.

Wasn't it stated that "The Plan" was to get rid of the older more experienced Pros ?

You could be right . I do think they will wait for an easy opportunity , a defeat so they can point and say, see it's him not us. I don't see any way they do it over the break, that would be decisive , and something that a well run Club might do. I really hope they are making enquiries already , you can see him being sacked now, and us taking until after the players come back for training to appoint someone.

On one hand , Lansdown has always seemed supportive and doesn't usually 'go early' on dismissals . On the other , they must have got an idea of the supporters feelings , and just as season tickets go on sale ? I think they will do nothing and we will play Leicester . Then if we get a stuffing , Little Jon will have an 'out' . He used the Cardiff game with half an academy side playing to sack Pearson. If we get done 4 or 5 , I can see our spineless Chairman using the opportunity to court favour with the fans by sacking LM . Then they can ramp up excitement for renewals by linking us to top, top managers until everyone has paid their money . Then get someone equally dull (probably ? ) if that's possible.

I know I will renew , I may think hard about it , I may wait until late on , but I will renew. It took Lansdown making our seats Corporate and more than doubling the price for me to step away previously. The problem is I do miss the social side, I have had mates who came for a drink before games, I can't do that and just go home . Plus I love the away day when we go in a group . That said it isn't a million miles away from not bothering . More shit football , poor leadership , price rises , kit bollox etc and it will come .

Twine has only played once , not sure what we are missing yet until he has a run. I also think it was a pointless signing , giving that I doubt we will sign him permanently . I believe the Club (this time) when they say this (mythical?) striker wasn't available in January . I doubt he will be in the summer, seeing as how we want a big, strong, quick goalscorer ready for Championship football and within our budget. No doubt there are 23 other sides want the same . Of course , there is another thing, we don't make chances , at least not lots. There is no reason just having another striker would change our team for the better. We need the rest of the side to start creating first , then when TC and NW are missing lots , then I will think we need a new striker. I think we will have to take a chance on a foreign striker in the end , it's that or a L1/L2 punt

Didn't we have 14 OOC that first pre season summer ? FFP meaning money was tight , rebuilding coaching & medical while not being allowed to replace senior Pros . Even selling a prize asset he was given about the same as we spent in the Jan after Pearson left . Manning was supposed to improve what we had , so the windows are inconsequential , yes pre season might make a difference but are you sure it would make that much of a difference ?

Don't the League games count ? EDIT Suspensions following a Red Card are applied across both league and cup competitions – only accumulated Yellow Cards are competition specific*. Found this and I guess it depends if he's had other bookings.

This is a mad game

Not if we didn't make the final

Didn't see that coming Shows it can happen at the top level too, poor defending.
