    We're not as bad a side as the table suggests and our squad is now stronger than it was last season

    The key for Powell will be getting players back to full fitness and how lucky he gets with injuries. There aren't many sides in this division who can boast a better forward line than Wells and Vaughan. Only problem being that they've hardly played together due to Vaughan being made out of glass

    Defence is looking a lot stronger now we have signed Hudson and expect Powell's style of football will see us tighten up back there. We've got some excellent midfielders on the books and some talent out wide so he is inheriting quite a decent side

    I don't think he'll have any trouble keeping us up unless we have rotten luck with injuries

    Good player but I was meaning partnership although a lot of sides now do only play with one up top and two wide men supporting

    I still think we'll finish above you and your over enthusiastic gaffer ;)

    It'll be ironic if we go on a long unbeaten up until the Huddersfield game, and it's Powell who ends it...

    I am very interested to see how this turns out. A one hit wonder or a man with a big future?

    Massively pleased for Chris Powell. An individual who stands out from the crowd.

    I reckon he'll do very well. Putting my Powell love to one side, I really rate him as a manager.

    Will be interested to see how this pans out. Can blame Roland for his sacking until you turn blue in the face but we were bottom of the league (albeit with games in hand) and playing terrible football.

    I hope he does well, but I don't think he will be the success that many on here think he will be.

    Got a high amount of respect as a person.

    It will be weird at 1st.

    Our attitude would probably be perhaps slightly different if we didnt have our smooth unbeaten start to the season.

    I wondered how long it would take someone to mention that he is the only black manager in the top 4 English leagues. Surprised it was here, was expecting a tabloid reporter.

    Can't work out if you're being sarcastic or unknowingly ironic.

    Feels like my ex has just started seeing someone else

    Sad thing is, it does actually feel like that.

    *boots door down and shouts irrational emotion splurs*

    Highlights of press conference on SSN after 5.00.


    Meanwhile D Poyet wishes his former gaffer well and predicts he'll be a success.
