We need someone similar to when Brian Little came in and turned things .But to achieve that most of this squad need to go and be replaced with hungry championship,league 1/2 players hungry to prove a point,rather than players on their way down with shit attitudes.

And cause he's always smiling,which so would i on his money and contract.

Trouble is we could be swapping places with them, which a couple of seasons ago would be unthinkable. But your right him maybe Wellens or such like need to be looked at .We are not even a top championship club ,so anyone thinking we can attract a top name manager think again ,them days are gone .

I think lose the next 2 and he'll be gone

I don't remember any squad of players or owners being this unlikeable in all my 50 odd years of following them.I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel , just darkness.

Gutless cowards ,league 1 here we come

Is Rudkin there?

I'm same age you ,and I don't remember feeling as pissed as I do now when I watched that season.In fact had some cracking away days. Must be an age thing .

I wouldn't worry about going up this season,I'd be more worried of going down.

Whoever came in would get the same response I e nothing. Might as well keep him ,nothing will change till the swamps drained.

Norman Leet .

It'll be Marti's stubbornness over things like this which will get him the sack .Nelson played well last season in a poor Oxford side ,where as our 2 clowns are playing poorly every week in what should be a superior side .If he doesn't change we're ****ed ,thanks Top ,Rudkin.

The difference between us and Cov is a number of things down to Top ,and Rudkin mainly.Cov don't train at a 5 star country club ,haven't got many big time Charlie's who've played in the Premier,arnt on obscene wages and would see promotion as a step up to better things. The main thing is they want to be there ,play for each other and whether you like him or not Lampard has turned them around almost instantly. They've got an owner who's got the place buzzing like we were under Pearson ,also theyve been starved of not much success so to be top and scoring for fun you can see why they're going to take some stopping.

But we've seen lurch and faes arnt up to it in any league ,every game one or both make mistakes leading to a goal and throw Thomas in as well, you've no chance of keeping a clean sheet .The best we can hope for is mid table till these ****wits **** off or arnt picked .

It says it all when a under strength portsmouth side nearly did us and a near relegated hull last season have somehow put a team together to win 5 out of the last 6 with next to no money .

Would take that now ,this isn't going to be a good season .

Mid to lower league manager suits us just fine ,because that's what we are gonna become .

Wouldn't it be great if we had a Jock Wallace moment like he did with Lineker and Buchanan with Evans and Hutchinson having ago .Can't do no worse than the has beens we've seen so far.

Hate to say but Cov's first 11 are miles better ,can score goals and have a decent striker at this level and we saw how strong our bench was on Saturday..

Ive seen teams put more effort in than ours ,show commitment ,organized better and are so called less talented.Nothing will change till these wasters are gone.

Cant see past 2defeats coming up ,both games we'll get bullied and with the usual mistakes by the defence things could get abit nasty if we dont beat Blackburn.

The fact weve got the largest wage bill doesnt mean we've got the best squad .Too many think they're better than they are ,also you need heart ,determination ,pride ,guts all of which we lack .

We'd better get used to this ,this is what the season will be ,with theodd win every now and then

James will be our season defining player.

Seems to have got the message regarding Skipp and Soumare,next the defence.
