A good season would be promotion. That would obviously mean winning lots of games, and it is always nicer watching a winning team. It would also mean good performances by players, and clearly those are mostly going to be youngsters or new signings. Will it happen? Maybe.

The other player I will never forget was Kante in that side. Best DM ever. Ranieri made that team click, at least for one magic year. Les Ferdinand was pure class too, even though could only manage 20 minute cameos.

I have renewed, as have those around me. Not optomistic and next season may well be as bad as this one, but I enjoyed the football more than I expected last time we were in League 1. I don't have much hope of an immediate return, I think that unless things change at the top then we will continue to drift. So why renew? Well I suppose that it is the triumph of hope over experience. Being a staunch supporter is about about the unglamorous games, not just the big ones. The weekend wouldn't be the same without.

Sure but Seagrave is a symptom of how management has gone wrong at our club. Expensive, looks good on paper but fails to deliver. It is the Soumare of training grounds. It certainly makes no sense to keep both Seagrave and Belvoir. It should all be concentrated on one site including the womens team and acadamy.

The big difference was not Rowatt for Cifuenties it was Jordan James becoming unfit. He was the only good thing this season. If he had stayed fit we wouldn't have been relegated. Our midfield has been pants without him.

The rot started with Seagrave. Sure it looks on paper a great facility but the reality is that it is a white elephant and we lost all our fight and soul. The players got too pampered and comfortable, too entitled.

To be honest the football may be better in L1, it was quite enjoyable last time, not least because we won most matches. Getting pounded every week in the Championship is no fun. Its not the League that we are in that bothers me, but rather the complete lack of direction and communication. I really do not want another summer like the last one with no manager or signings.

I will be renewing. I have had my ST for 12 years and might have to move away from the Midlands in a couple of years so want to get as many games in as I can. In any case there is always more to talk about afterwards with a crap performance, just look at this site 🤣🤣🤣

Not mathmatically so, but the writing is on the wall.

Well not today obviously! 🫣

He is a good player, but like most of the team his confidence is completely shot. He is out of contract at the end of the season, but cannot see him wanting to stay. Next year's team is going to be miserable to watch.

He doesn't need to run about, just get 11 other guys to! I remember when he used to sit in the stands rather than touchline.

If King wants to give him another chance then we should back King. At least until the final whistle.

Lookman vs BEK tonight. Should have kept Lookman.

What is the plan for our club as a business this season? 1) To draw a line under the FFP sanctions, and not get back in the same mess. 2) To get the playing staff wage bill under control by selling the expensive ones and winding down contracts. 3) To not get relegated by the points deduction, and to sneak into the promotion slots if possible. 4) To have a manager willing to work with what he has got and the youth team, and all on a shoestring. If it isn't Marti then it will be someone else like him, or worse like RVN This sort of restructuring is going to be the same with or without KP in charge, and it is unlikely to produce scintillating football on the pitch. What interests me as a season ticket holder and active supporter is seeing some sort of long term strategy beyond fixing the finances. We won't really know if there is until the end of the season and the summer window, but I expect it to be a slow rebuild in the Championship over several seasons. There is no magic wand.
