By the time he's gone he will have almost certainly presided over the biggest decline of a football club in my lifetime. People in our own ground still high five him as well. I'd want a statue of him outside the ground if I supported Cov.

Sorry, I missed off Barcelona as well.

Touched on this point elsewhere but I wonder if there's something in this like almost low performance culture at the club. Tielemans started really badly at Villa before getting back into form. Barnes wasn't dissimilar. Hermansen, Ndidi, Coady and Ward have all started badly this season. Feels beyond a coincidence.

completely forgot the Pearson stuff. So not only are they complete hypocrites they are consistently on the wrong side. Attention seeking bellends. Rob Tanner needs to open his eyes before going and speaking to Cliff again.

Stolarczyk, Justin, Okoli, Vestergaard, Thomas, Winks, Soumare, Fatawu, El Khannouss, Mavididi, Ayew

They're insufferable aren't they. I could live with this if they actually got behind the team themselves. Bunch of preaching clowns. Everything wrong with this fanbase currently.

They've got to sack him. He's truly awful.

Pretty crap opening weekend on the whole. You just knew Forest after not scoring all summer would go and do that.

I'd agree with this if it was September but with a year left on his deal it suits us to move him on. Fed up of players going for nothing.

Has he gone yet?

We look more like Luton than Sheffield United. Three crap performances against bad sides. This is a classic 'my expectations were low but holy shit'.

You would imagine so - after all Guy Branston who worked with him said he was one of the best in the business. Given this is our natural level you would imagine it's easy pickings for someone like Real Madrid.

Yeah exactly that. You got me.

Away games should just obviously all be standing. We got better for this in recent years but shit if it's turning back to how it was.

I think the fact we only took 2,600 to Preston is a massive show of discontent - a very rare Saturday 3pm away game, our first of the season in the league, at a ground no less that we've very recently had a memorable night at that you would think would only encourage people to go again. 2,600 is appalling and it shows how much the credit has run out - we'd have taken easily double that two years ago.

true. I'm not quite convinced it'll quite come to that but after Saturday I don't think it can be completely discounted. It's a poor team with weaknesses throughout it. That a side like Preston can expose it so simply. I keep saying it I think extremely little of us at the minute and even I thought we'd just win games like that on quality alone. It was alarmingly bad.

Preston in the context of everything was a new low for me. They'll finish anywhere from 14th-23rd this season and they've beaten us at a canter. Even Plymouth, Millwall, Bristol City etc... really bad days but a little bit unfortunate in all of them. We were lucky Saturday was only 2-1. If that's our actual level and not an off day, make no mistake we are in a relegation battle. But the other two games give you no confidence either.

Kind of true actually. We always win at the most damaging times in the long run. A win here would probably be enough for our board to think it's another clocked off week and we're all OK.

We were nowhere near this bad, and we weren't great.

Changed my mind. More I think about it the more I think 2/3-0.

Good for you. I'm sure you'll win this one.

Exactly this and frankly even Tielemans I don't remember doing it so brazenly as this. Winks is damaged goods. He's got to go. This week should be hectic for us. I bet we get something like 1 out 0 in though - despite the fact it should be a minimum of 3 each.

We came 5th the season before they took over.

That game was simply embarrassing and a disgrace. Comfortably second best to a side largely tipped to struggle who stayed up last season on the final day. It wasn't like the Plymouth loss under Maresca, as bad as that was, which was genuinely a bit unlucky despite everything. This was just rank, a terrible team exposed by an average at best one. Frankly a bottom three level performance. I doubt even someone like Stockport would've served that up. We really are the absolute dream opposition for literally anybody. The illusion of a good side but one you'll get a tonne of joy against. Imagine how emotional Nathan Jones is going to be when he beats this complete rabble next week.

Give Nelson the next 10 games - we already know this lot are shit.
