  • Starting to get the faint whiff of bullshit!  Has Jones The Shite done his postmatch interview yet?
  • Every. Single. Week.  It’s the same response. The starting 11 in whatever guise, system or formation never look like getting a result. So he has to change it. Every. Single. Week. Rather than him playing that as something he should receive credit for, to me, and plenty of others I’m sure, it’s the sign of someone who cannot get his players to operate how he wants them to so has no choice but to change things. 

    Fed up with the spin and taking us for idiots.
  • Only 54 long balls (passes of 35 yards or longer) attempted in the match which is our lowest number since the opening day of the season against Wigan (52).
    54 might also seem high to be “lowest since” but for context, Birmingham had 50 long balls attempted today. And in the Premier League, Liverpool counted 49.
  • I always think that Coventry and Taylor look good on paper and should be our generals controlling the midfield ... Trouble is it just doesn't happen :/

    We've looked second best to some pretty dire teams recently and - rubbing salt into the wounds - less mobile than them.  
  • Sat there freezing cold with no voice and a chest infection. Must be mad. 
    Fair play to you,got the same thing and chose to stay at home in the warm. A decent choice in hindsight. Get well soon😷

    And?

    I've got the same thing. Years ago, I would have attended but fuck that now.

  • Actually encouraged and heartened by that performance against a well drilled Nigel Clough side. I was expecting a lot, lot worse. Particularly heartened by Miles's contribution. He actually looked interested and energised for once. No obvious passengers and a second clean sheet in the league since our Captain has returned. My glass is definitely half full or my expectations are perhaps a lot lower than some on here.

    Do you know if they count set pieces in that stat? 
  • 14000!!!   Less than 8000 I’d say from watching the stream unless the East was rammo!!!
  • Didn't think we were quite as bad as recent games but we're creating very little. Some very poor decision making by a lot of our players.

    The referee was awful - he missed everything. It was like a wrestling match at times.

  • What I would now give for Sir Chris's absolute Tour de Force 2011- 2012 League Triumph for the ages...he didn't 'talk up' league promotion..he took action, made savvy changes...and DID IT - proud...more's the shame this current bunch are nowhere near it...and quite frankly are yet again going absolutely nowhere...all talk, no trousers, PR aplenty... NO goals/wins equate to mid table mediocrity. At best. Current group are vectoring precisely nowhere - hope I'm well wrong but on the current 'evidence', doubt it.
  • Another game on a knife edge but lacking any real quality up front, despite us ending with four strikers on the pitch. Mansfield were on top first half, we had a decent spell in the second, but neither side did enough to deserve the win. The ref? Gave them everything, though thankfully we didn’t give him the chance to point to the spot.

    The bigger concern for me is how flat we’ve become. At the start of the season, the energy was there; now it’s like the team’s either burnt out or stopped buying into Jones’ plan. For those calling for his head, who do you actually think we can get? Personally, I’d give him January to sort the squad. Knee-jerk changes now might just set us back even further.

  • Only five teams in this division have scored less than us and only five teams in this division have conceded less than we have.

  • People won’t like it but NJ’s post match interview is one of a manager who has been told he won’t be sacked and has time
  • Only 54 long balls (passes of 35 yards or longer) attempted in the match which is our lowest number since the opening day of the season against Wigan (52).
    What’s the league average? And how does it look game by game for us?
  • Absolute dog shite again, when will this ever change?
  • Jones out asap
  • Arse
