  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Wasn't it stated that "The Plan" was to get rid of the older more experienced Pros ?
  4. I love Paddy Power's social media, always good for a joke and a dig.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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 .
  8. 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
  9. 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 ?
  10. 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.
  11. Not if we didn't make the final
  12. Didn't see that coming Shows it can happen at the top level too, poor defending.
  13. Liverpool with a 5 V 2 and don't score , criminal
