In a half-hearted defence of Jakub, playing game-in, game-out, I'd be pissed off if I was playing second fiddle to McCarthy. He probably wants out like the rest of them, and it's not hard to see why when his career is suddenly being stunted by a 36 year old Southampton reject.

To add to the ever-increasing collection.

We really don't need cup runs right now.

What's that Skipp? Same shit, different league?

Specifically for this game? Are you a glutton for punishment?

He's not found a Phil gif depressing enough, the last two seasons used them all up.

No match for the mighty Burton.

Harsh on rat shite that.

That a good or bad thing? 👀

Coulibaly must be wondering what he has to do to get in front of Thomas. Can't be any worse.

Think a lot of peoples' frustrations are more out of desperation than anything else. We are feeling a little scarred from back to back relegations in quite pathetic circumstances. Champions with Enzo, down with a whimper, expected to bounce straight back up again, down again with less than a whimper. And now we languish in a league where we should have never been. That's football. Chopping and changing is not only disruptive, it is expensive and we cannot afford such a luxury. And think about it, I'm absolutely positive RM wasn't probably our first, second or third choice. No self-respecting manager wishing to keep their reputation intact wouldn't touch us with a barge pole, and who can blame them? We are a mess from top to bottom, on and off the pitch, and Rudkin seems to call all the shots. On the other hand, RM has nothing to lose given his recent exploits too, and if it works out, great. But make no mistake, he too, has inherited an absolute mess. And just to make things clear, I audibly sighed when we appointed him. It screams "scraping the bottom of the barrel", but that's where we are at. King Power are selling up because of troubles back home and they have no clue how to stop the slide. But I have to have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and I will still go as a ST holder and hope for the best. We cannot afford to sack RM, nor the justification to get rid after 2 GAMES. And you have all seen first hand that Andy King, despite all the goodwill in the world, isn't ready for management. So to those early nay-sayers. Get a grip, suck it up, and get behind him. We have no choice on the matter. Other clubs have been in similar dire straits, stripped bare, and are now back in the Premier League. Who's to say we cannot do the same. The faith is tested, and may be misguided, but somehow we have to keep it in who we have now.

Did Enzo's football bore you that much so you missed the whole season? They really weren't and you'll struggle to find anyone that agrees with that post. Both are absolute liabilities.

Thank goodness, some patience and common sense still lingers on this forum. It's only been 2 games and its not been pretty by any stretch, and we have been lucky in a sense not to lose either game, but we didn't. RM's football isn't appealing on the eye, but give him time. We should incorporate a 12 hour posting on this forum to let people calm down and post more rationally.

Summary: JJ, Alves and Braybrooke come out with credit, otherwise utter dross from the rest.

It's not about what we want, or not bearing the thought of staying in League One, that clouds your judgement of where we will finish. Personally I think play-offs, even before yesterday's game. But maybe this poll was better off being posted after 10 games, so the team has bedded itself in.

Literally thought this. He will get a new deal, I'm sure of it, especially if we get promoted.

Finally, a striker! Let's hope he tears it up in League One.

Before the league campaign has even begun? I best get on with threatening to cancel my season ticket then!

I can hear Luke Thomas sighing with relief from here.

Letting him go makes absolutely no sense. League One should be a massive springboard for him and a chance to get some real game time. But if RM keeps him out and ends up stifling his potential, who are we to stay in his way?

Read the comments from page 1. Quite the contrast to the modern-day comments.

Pre-season is experimentation time. Doesn't really tell anyone outside the club much until the season starts and we can then see what their real game-plan is. If stumbling to a 1-0 win over a League Two team is the best we have then we have reason to worry. I can only that RM has learnt from this and shifts things around urgently, and gets a recognised number 9 as we still don't have one. I'm not here to bash the players nor does give me any kind of feel-good factor doing so, but they need to be better than what I saw at the game yesterday. As the saying goes, I get behind the players, if they give me something to get behind. And we all know there has been precious little of that over the last few seasons.

Think the whingers are more pointing fingers elsewhere. The players who have outstayed their welcome and have simply reproduced the same flaws that ensured our relegation last season, and the season BEFORE THAT. I wish the new signings and academy graduates every success and hope they find their feet. The more established players will, and should not be given the same amount of slack.

I went on holiday a few weeks back, and they had some Bangladeshi waiters. Naturally, you get to know the staff whilst you're there, they learned I support Leicester City and start waxing lyrical about Hamza frickin' Choudhury. How I refrained myself from telling them about his criminal record, his obscene wages and his general lack of technical ability, I'll never know.

The usual lot then. Souttar probably wants that move away to Sheffield United.
