That's Cifuentes safe until February at the latest. They have form for this sort of thing - taking time to do something meaning nothing else can be done.

Like I said elsewhere - Bristol City have just played as well (couple of hours less rest if you're being really picky), they made only two changes themselves and they seemed to cope with it OK. This is the sort of thing we should have the upper hand on, not substantially weaker.

I do enjoy these articles and always have a bit of a smile to myself that James Knight is drafted in for every bad result

If true Cifuentes' NPC status is firmly restored and needs to be gone 10am Sunday at the latest.

This is my biggest fear with sacking Cifuentes. We press reset and get another soft arse.

We were knackered but Bristol City weren't. Riddle me that.

James would be a future captain if ours if he wasn't going to sign for Wrexham in the summer.

He's a very bad fit for Real. They thrive in chaos and he's simply the opposite.

Shite

Will lose this and QPR.

Please just play Aluko. This bloke is horrendous.

Fan of his but not good tonight.

Finished here. One plus.

It's definitely a problem. Unable to properly rotate tonight due to the rightful freezing out of certain individuals but we still have an advantage over a lot of the league and you'd never think it.

He seems to have finally started making the right moves in terms of freezing people out but the limitations are already so far exposed that you just can't build a proper case for him. The biggest worry for me is a new bloke would give a fresh start to players who simply shouldn't get one. That second half was an embarrassment and the warning signs were there at the weekend. We could've thrown Derby away if we'd been unlucky - we play with fire when we simply don't need to. 0-2 up at half time and Bristol City players looked pretty gutted at full time to have drawn. Absolute joke of a half. We set up like a National League side.

OK first half, absolutely dreadful second and lucky to get a point from a game we were 2 up in at half time. Bristol City for **** sake.

Good job he's not given that, Nelson would be off.

Our first 'shot' all half.

Absolutely woeful. Everything we deserve.

Thomas out of his depth again.

That's hopefully patched that previous sub up a bit.

We don't half make hard work of everything.

Options aren't great but do not get that sub.

My life, my everything for a clean sheet.
