Oh stop it, the only formation that could earn a result would be if Hull handed in a team sheet consisting of just a dog poo hanging off the crossbar on a piece of string. We’d grind out a 0-0 but be docked 3 points for fielding a player more ineligible than theirs - Harry Winks.

Does Rusty Lee have an executive box (with hot plate and grill)?

I’ve had a feeling it will be Cambridge at home but Bromley is a recurring suggestion and would sum up where we’re at in a nut shell. And we’ll lose!

if we were to say “There’s as much chance as……..” (complete the sentence) There’s as much chance as Rusty Lee getting through 10 minutes of TV without laughing like a hyena at the slightest thing. There’s as much chance as Daniel Lambert saying “A hearty meat pie? Could I have the salad option instead ?” There’s as much chance as Rudkin saying, “I’ve had a long hard think, a self review, I’m really not fit for purpose am I, so for the good of the club (and mankind) I resign”

Where the f*** is that Is it somewhere a bit like West Brom?

That hearty rendition of “You’re not fit to wear the shirt” demonstrated some powerful close harmony projection there usually only heard from the Welsh, impressive and understandably passionate

There were basics like Daka’s 1 on 1 with the keeper and the Winks free kick at the end, you train all week, all season so when the moment comes on match day you have the natural comfort in the situation and use of technique to execute it. Daka, just put the ball wide of the keeper and use your legendary “pace in behind” to get to it first. Do they have post match analysis? Do they train match situations? Do they train? Winks, just put it in the mix anywhere away from the reach of their keeper, preferably ON the pitch. Fatawu cuts into the box, had a few team mates level with him, a right foot driven pass along the ground creates a shooting opportunity but instead he floats it curling inward away from all of them.

If graphics could talk you just know that table is singing “you’re s**t and you know you are” Print it and pin it everywhere, I suppose a Tifo of it could be tricky but you get the idea.

I think Aluko should start all 3 with Ricardo having the last 20 mins of Millwall as a farewell then just not involved at Blackburn. He’s not our biggest problem but the one thing we can do is increase Aluko’s game experience as he’s likely to be part of our future and we’ll need every last crumb of advantage once the season starts so a little run of games now is money in the bank in his development.

That free kick at the end, the leagues highest paid player is on it and he floats it out of play. Until then I forgot he was playing. Just watched the Facebook clip, heard it nice and clear he wants fans to f*** off, fine play in an empty stadium, your free kicks will still be dire Harry. On form alone he should never play for us again, he has Dennis Wise vibes about him.

Ha ha ha ha ha …….and the real team sheet please? Said something about needing to be tougher and fighting and then he picks free pass Mavididi and powder puff BDR.

I haven’t particularly followed their results but the Ladies team and our U21’s, U18’s etc deserve an end of season wind down and awards / reflections. Without the senior men there the young lads can feel a bigger part of things, they’re going to need to be, this time next year they could be the squad.

Will that new Member of our super duper restructure be involved in making the selection? If not it’s the same people who chose the last ones unless Whelan was particularly involved too? That fills me with so much confidence! Ideally you would bloody some other clubs nose by tempting their successful manager but a) apart from Seagrave we’re not all that appealing with an uncertain future and budget, b) we probably can’t afford to pay compensation. I’d like to see it be Robins or Carsley and it will be strange if it is someone who is a popular choice with the fans who gets it, a manager needing positivity and starting on a clean slate but with a board and several of the squad deserving no forgiveness, that’s a perplexing dynamic and a further reason why this nightmare is just beginning.

Encore has to be Rudkin or Top singing "And I Diiiiiid it myyyyyyy wayyyyyyyyy"

Not saying it's my particular choice but Callum Davidson has been a manager in his own right, he's had a spell seeing the facilities up close, which as a coach (injury curse jokes aside) must be a desirable privilege and he's now known to the decision makers, I think he'll fancy it, a bit of a different dynamic to the Bassett / Adams interim which then became Adams managing as intended but I have a funny feeling it could be him. Rowett will wear the tarnish of the relegation, results and "style" of his reign, Davidson may escape that. Won cups in Scotland .

“We Will Be Back” “An exciting new challenge” Deflect focus onto Ricardo “All things must end” “Come early for the Millwall game and enjoy a urine based lager substitute and an experimental pineapple cake thingy we found rotting in the stock room of a King Power store representing a beneficial tax write off.” ”We will take time to reflect” ”We believe in our young players, they will ensure a successful future for the club” (on a day none featured)

Hard work supporting Ipswich for 1 night, with players like McAteer and Hirst lumbering about, just where to these clubs find these kind of donkeys?

I thought in the summer that although they lost Delap and Hutchinson Ipswich had a lot less to do to sort themselves out than we did. A lot of their squad had been bought and built in the championship previously, they kept their manager and I fancied them to boss the league. They had a slow start and I didn't foresee Coventry's season but it looks like Ipswich will be taking that second place. Southampton made a lot of sales for surprisingly high amounts in some cases (a bit like MacAteer but he was the exception not the rule for us). They had a fair bit to do to get functioning as a new look side and again after an iffy start the cogs finally started turning, it's a long season and they've got traction at the right time. Neither of those two are riddled with players who think they are too good for the club (hence my point about a "settled" Ipswich) and who don't want to be there. We knew our situation, no money to spend, points deduction imminent but it didn't have to be this bad. Handing repeated starts to players who don't put a shift in, wasting the CF loan slots on Caranza (more like an old fashioned 2 week triallist than a loanee) and Richards (he may still surprise us but ) and the AM on someone found in a casualty waiting room. In short we had the most to do in the sense of getting out players than no-one seemed to want to take off us and with our hands tied behind our back. Had we got fees for Faes, Kristiansen, El Khannouss, Soumare and Winks in the summer we may have had some wiggle room to improve ourselves a little bit. Ipswich had a lot less to do and Southampton have demonstrated what a reset can look like with a little patience and belief and sensible player selection.

With the quotes from Rowett about a not so polished but tougher line up I can see Hamza, Aribo and hopefully James in for Winks, Mavididi and either Mukasa or Fatawu, with Aribo in a wide position, James possibly wide too, maybe narrowing the 5 man midfield to something approaching compact.

And if it’s not a game covered by a season ticket the club won’t be able to add those numbers to the actual attendance to make a farcical fabricated one as they do for league games. Tannoy man - “For the benefit of the players our crowd today….Row A seat 215 Gary Bishop, Row F seat 104 Jenny Smith, Row K seat 47 Dave”Pie Muncher” Palmer………”

IF we could beat Portsmouth it could be worth more than the 3 points as it would leave them deflated as we were after Sheff Weds, feeling “If we can’t beat them where are any wins coming from.” But you can’t really think about psychological gains when the psychology of our own mob is so much in tatters it would need an army of therapists to untangle. As a club we can be quite capable of watching others drop points, it’s the “Put your boots on, take to the pitch and earn points of your own” bit we struggle with and we’ll need points of our own.

Saw a quote about making changes, resulting in being less polished and pleasing on the eye but tougher and possibly a different formation for the home games. Could be Aribo in a wide position instead of an orthodox winger, Hamza in DM, Vestergaard or Souttar up top ? I don’t care how ugly it is if the history books show we got the results. Repeating the same thing and expecting different results is not working but I doubt the current mob have the intelligence to adapt to something new and carry it out as intended. I’d suspect Winks, Mavididi and possibly Mukasa would be out and BDR not an option either. Don’t be surprised if the team sheet stinks the place out but steers us away from thinking we’re Barcelona and addresses some of the rudimentals of championship football.
