I’m glad they’ve been decisive and sorted it relatively early. The abysmal dithering left us miles behind before we’d started in the last two seasons. We’ve also now got an obvious identity of playing style, which we’ve not had since Enzo left. We should have enough time to give him a few players that’ll suit his stubborn tactics, if we’re fitter than the last two seasons that’ll represent progress for this mob.

Makeup of the team playing tonight feels all wrong, how can Green be in at 6 for any team with ambitions to qualify

Rowett must genuinely be a Blackburn double agent at this point

Never seen less urgency or class from a team, genuinely unbelievable how fast it’s come to this

Couldn’t agree more, tried to jump through their hoops for tickets several times over the years. Can guarantee I am far from the only one who got completely disillusioned at being treated as a customer when times were good, and milked for every possible penny. Hopefully this is a wake up call for the ownership that fans are walking away in large numbers, and won’t be back next year.

I have a degree of sympathy with him for today. It was really poor management to drop him after he scored a good goal at Ipswich for Ayew to stink the place out. The guy hasn’t had a run of starts for about 3 years and needs rhythm. I can’t understand the logic in ever selecting Ayew, and Rowett should really be getting more criticism for recent team selections in home games, that’s undone any confidence we were getting.

The whole defence seem absolutely petrified of making a mistake constantly, it’s complete panic stations whenever we get the ball back. Doesn’t seem possible that some of these played under Enzo and can’t string two passes together now.

Most managers would be absolutely mad to take this job at the moment. Even Michael Skubala, who seems to be the outstanding candidate in my eyes, wouldn’t leave Lincoln to coach us. The fact we can’t realistically attract the Lincoln City manager is unbelievably damming. They have a bigger budget for new players than us, and can’t lose a game, and they’ve barely got 4 stands round the pitch!

Confirms my suspicions around King Power itself and the complete lack of investment post Covid. Clearly as a company they didn’t navigate this change and diversify, perhaps assuming that their existing operations would never fail, sounds pretty familiar on the football side too. Obviously Top is miles out of his depth, with a total lack of the business acumen that his father had. It seems inevitable that even with staying up this season we’re drifting the way of Sheffield Wednesday. We’re already at the point of operating a tiny first team squad, bulked with youth players who aren’t ready. This will only get worse as contracts expire, there simply isn’t any money to sign new ones.

We’ve lost a load of leadership really from the point of Schmeichel leaving which was never replaced, he certainly seems to have the right attitude. Hopefully this points to more value being placed on the character of the player the club is going after. A lot of the arrogant wasters leaving hopefully means I’ll have some affinity with the players again soon!

Got to be about the worst bit of business the club has ever done. How much has this clown cost in wages and his transfer fee for 2 relegations and 4 assists 😂

Thanks all, it puts me off a bit in truth when the guy on the phone openly said they’d just turn them back to Bristol City if they go unsold. The priority system makes complete sense, but when that’s elapsed why would you not want a full away end of your supporters if possible. It might encourage people to get memberships and go to more if they enjoy it! I live close to the ground so might head down and see if there’s anything I can get, cheers for the advice, hope those that make it have a good trip even in midweek.

I just called to get a couple, but living in Bristol I can’t get to loads of games a season and don’t have a membership this year. There’s about 15 left but I couldn’t get one due to not hitting the threshold which seems a bit mad to me, is there any way around this or are away days just excluded unless you’re a STH or member?

He’s been dealt an awful hand with some of the squad players who he needs to play good minutes. However he needs to see that some of these are nowhere near good enough, which I’m becoming more and more concerned that he can’t. I agree with others that the striker options are dire, but our entire attacking output is dependent on a winger (usually Abdul) producing some absolute magic and beating two or three defenders. He has to look at the template Enzo had and get more support, two shots on target in two games is woeful.

That attempt as ushering the ball out under pressure from O’Brien was embarrassing frankly. For him to then be hopeless enough to compound it with the worst header I’ve ever seen looked like he was trying to cost us a goal. Like Faes and Soumare the manager needs to drop this bloke completely before he gets him the sack with play like that.

We’ve just got such a lack of penetration and threat, play at a snails pace and all in front of them. Everytime they turn it over they look really dangerous, it’s exactly what we should be doing to them.

There’s a fascination from managers to play this bloke because he can pass and cover right back; it’s infuriating and I’m going to be Marti out if he keeps playing. We looked really solid with Okoli playing, but he’s dropped in place of a bombscare defender who’s making everyone else look worse around him.

Have to say I feel the same way, just doesn’t seem like he’ll be any threat at all on the counter and seems too small to win much in the air or hold the ball up. Some of the defending was comical too 😂

Just did the customary thing and watched some goals. He doesn’t seem to stand out physically at all, and isn’t especially quick either. Seems to make some clever runs and can certainly finish, hope we can give him the service in a much better league than he’s scoring in here.

Real shame if we’re not pursuing this, was magic for Charlton a couple of years back but seems to have stalled. Definitely need someone to take a bit of the pressure off Abdul who seemingly needs to play basically every minute in the league.

Considering Birmingham are meant to be one of the favourites they were awful. If we had BEK we’d have won 4-0, great to see us look so solid at the back too.

We look super solid defensively which feels very odd, just really missing Bilal and that bit of class when we do win it back

Just seems so glaring that he was pictured training all week, then not in the squad on Saturday. Wouldn’t be surprised if we sell on deadline day, I assume we would have heard if he had put in a transfer request?

First one is absolutely unreadable and the second looks like a Facebook pro-brexit meme, shambolic 😂

Feels like it’ll be a very similar afternoon to Preston. They’ve got a defined way of playing and will work really hard off the ball, really shows what can be done with some buy in from the players. Wouldn’t be surprised if they nick it 1-0, and it really would be pressure on after that.
