Decent looking kick off at the end of the Bristol city Millwall game. Hard to feel sorry for Blackburn again, quality of pitch and drainage must be awful.

I wouldn't be feeling confident if you've got tickets for tomorrow. Got the makings of a 150 all out tonight.

Always something different to be annoyed at when you wake up Needs to be 5 fast bowlers or have a spin bowler you can trust to bowl more than 7 overs.

It's a proper test match at least. Have to win the day tomorrow.

This is showing that there is nothing wrong with the pitch if certain batters batted properly. We should have gone 400 plus.

As always with this England side, you feel it could be even better, particularly the wicket column but overall, a decent to good day. Kill some time in the morning and Aussie batting during twilight will be the dream.

Typical baz ball scorecard Big century, 4 0's and number 11 smashes it all over.

Pathetic. I'm sure the bowlers have been told do this but its they aren't good enough for it to come off. Especially against Starc. If you want to have a bowl tonight, might as well just declare.

Brilliant. Now come on the tail - get it up to 300 at least to give us a chance.

Starc must be laughing. Just bowl wide and wait for them to knick it So easy for him.

Another day of inconsistent England cricket. Horrible start. Fair play to Crawley for getting through the new ball as he must've been feeling it but then as always he's gifted his wicket, I do think his height goes against him sometimes with wickets like that. Ridiculous from Brook. From 5-2 to 200ish-4 is a decent effort but we could easily be 230 all out. Need to have a good evening session.

Close enough, just give the goal FFS

Every shot on goal is going in

4 lovely finishes in the Fulham/man City game

Until the first goal is conceded maybe.

The funny thing about this thread title is it could have applied to lots of different scenarios with the club at the minute.

Was it ever said whether Faes was actually injured or just couldn't be arsed with it? What are the options otherwise? Surely we aren't going to actually start Skipp at centre back?

I'll hold my hands up, I thought he'd struggle. Not just on the pitch, but in a foreign environment but it shows the kind of man he is

Finding it frustrating the NHS don't provide short term wheelchairs. My 4 year old fractured his leg last week and looks like I'm going to have fork out to either hire one (for an unknown amount of time) or buy one.

Ryan Mason can't be far from the sack either.

I don't know why anyone thinks that someone else will come in and Vestergaard, Faes and Winks etc will not still be involved. We are stuck with these options, at best until January. Marti would've been hoping he could get until Jan but I don't think he will now.

Too easy to say Sheff Utd just stopped playing. They were put under pressure and Wilder was clearly worried.

The sacking is coming but I don't even hate him. I can't get past the players.

Credit where its due but Soumare was very good in that second half. Moved the ball well and got us moving quicker. Reid was neat and tidy in everything he did but he's isn't good enough to have an impact. Defending was easy second half. Goes without saying but you can't be 2 nil down inside 5 minutes and expect to do anything. Calamitous first half.

Stoppage time was a disgrace from the ref. 4 minutes and it was barely in play.
