You were the guy before Birmingham that said he'd lost the dressing room and then you want Parker - a guy who ACTUALLY lost the dressing room and plays a similar brand of football.

You're never going to be plucky underdogs in this league. Look at the wrecks of football clubs in the bottom half. Has-beens and Neverbe's. And if you want to be plucky underdogs in the Prem wait til we've been mid-table for 3 years and people want the manager sacked after losing two games. Nice idea but the 2016 mob will never buy it.

There was one after the last defeat If your best ideas are Lennon, O'Neill and Curbishley (a man who hasn't held a managerial position for nearly 2 decades) it's probably best to let Enzo crack on picking Daka and Faes.

Haha that's nothing to what the EFL will do to us.

There is. Or use the Top thread.

Revisionist nonsense. Another game where if Daka scores it's not even a topic. Anyone remember that game? We battered them. A quote doesn't change a season, missing open fvcking goals does.

Had 3 touches

Really? Are they the shooting coaches?

This second half has been as bad as Millwall. Yes Daka missed sitters but since he went off we've created slightly less than fvck all. If you've travelled to this I pity you.

That Sky graphic about their average position shows exactly why we can't keep letting these no mark teams score first. We were struggling when it was open now we're playing against the double decker bus.

Steady on

It keeps the Zambians on FB quiet and we can genuinely say he's played games and is totally hopeless.

You can see the players getting more and more pissed with him. He just offers nothing.

Describe the circumstance where we win the league and SACK the manager. We haven't got a pot to piss in and you want us to throw cash away on another manager that will just get moaned about in 6 months?

I'd go Cannon TBF. There's crosses going in and "PD20" is playing statues.

Vestergaard s been fine. Faes is a ****ing liability.

To play at CB? They might do a better job than Sideshow.

They don't look knackered at all. They've dominated they just haven't stuck the ball in the net.

Can't decide if this is a 0-0 borefest or a repeat of the battering we gave them up here. Not sure what Coady is thinking right now.

Their game at Cov is now in the final week too and Cov are likely to need a win. Can't call it. The last month has been bizarre even for this bunfight league.

No they didn't. Burnley didn't have Leeds, Ipswich or Saints anywhere near them. And had we not got Leeds and the phenomenon that is Ipswich right now, we'd be well clear of most other clubs. Everyone says it, this will be the first season where potentially 3 clubs have +100pts and that's a massive factor in opinions. It used to be tight with play off clubs being all on 75 or 76pts but the top 3 are hitting new levels. To say they're a decent football team is wrong too. You can't look at their form this season and believe that. The Championship IS turgid. Everyone from about 5th down. Even Leeds aren't THAT great. But that's the best/worst thing about it. Teams drag you down to their level. Look at Boro's last 6 games Vs Rotherham, 1 win. Yet people would have Carrick here in a heartbeat.

Nope. There's quite a few people on here that will only be happy when we're back playing true Leicester-ball under a Levein or Kelly and stuck in mid-table and you can pick your seat in a crowd of 19k against Preston. The rest of the moaners? Won't be happy with anyone. Ranieri "had to go" Puel "bores me to death" Rodgers "is a fraud" and Enzo is a "stubborn" "Poundshop Pep" who "holds us back". Managers need time, especially younger ones. We're starting to sound like the moaning cvnts who want Moyes out at West Ham. This season could have been far far worse so, genuinely, fvck off with the constant moaning.

The criticisms after we lose are ridiculous. How anyone thinks the club are going to fire him whilst a) top of the league and b) with no pot to piss in baffles me. I get it, a lot don't like him. Oh well. Managers need time. Young managers need even longer. Is he stubborn? Yes. Has he made mistakes? Oh yes, loads. But this constant "sack him" whine after any defeat is pathetic. I don't really care if that triggers anyone, it's pathetic. I'm as pissed as anyone by how we've thrown a massive lead away, even more pissed by that display last night but tearing into Maresca after every bad result is pointless. Teams lose games, teams play badly, teams far better than ours have done far worse and caved in under far less pressure. I got it with Rodgers last season, it spiralled, he lost the plot and most agreed he had to go. But whatever the circumstances, however frustrating it is to not have a gap to 3rd anymore, we're top of the bloody league. It's the Championship, this is what happens. The last two weeks show that no-one knows what's coming next. But we seem to have this bizarre wish to shoot ourselves in the foot. Whatever happened to that idea pre-Norwich of getting behind the team and getting us over the line?

The match threads dwellers have camped out in the pre-match threads too. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine 😆
