I thought Faes looked like he was just going through the motions in that game. Not really engaged or striving to show his value or leadership, complete opposite to the youngsters. Awful example to those players around him.

It’s the right approach to drive high selling price as much as we absolutely can. The club has massive financial challenges and we also need to rebuild the squad. It’s going to be an exercise in brinkmanship and I’m sure we’ll see plenty of turbulence ahead of us.

I’ll have a tenner on him not making it through the preseason games and being injured for the opening Northampton game.

If he's questioning the professionalism and ability of some of the squad I can't wait to hear how he feels about the board-level management as he gets to know them. That's gonna blow his socks off I would imagine. And not in a good way either.

I'd be very surprised indeed if he is with us this season. He is a saleable asset and I expect we would very much want to get his wage off of the books.

Oh please please please let’s have this sung loud & proud at the first home game!

Still here because nobody thinks he is worth the wages he is on. And to be fair, they’re absolutely right.

Not a fan of This appointment myself, but I genuinely hope he does well & is able to rebuild this club & reverse the spectacular decline we’ve been witnessing the last few years.

I fear we’ll still be lumbered with several of the big earners like Vestergaard, Winks, Faes because they simply do not warrant the wages they are on so potential suitors will be extremely difficult to find.

Not sure what disappoints me most, Martin getting the job, or people on here believing that Rudkin actually provided a quote.

If he wins games then he can talk as much shit as he wants. But I have to smile at those warnings we are being given about conceding soft goals from playing out from the back, as if we haven’t been doing precisely that for the last two seasons anyway.

Probably be the bloke who runs the canteen at the King Power building in Thailand.

I would add that the evidence tells us that we don't have a squad who are fit for purpose for Premiership or Championship football either!

Warnock please.

I’m starting to think it’s not gonna be our day/season.

stayed on his feet until 34th minute. must be some kind of record!

I thought Thomas did okay last night, but I wish that both full backs would do a lot more to stop crosses coming in. frustrates the hell out of me.

Absolutely incredible! Not sure what has stunned me the most really. A win, a clean sheet, or Ayew not falling over until the 34th minute!!

I doubt Bristol City will find that to be the case sadly.

It will be interesting to see what kind of reaction we see against Ipswich from the team. I'm sure that Rowett will have made it absolutely clear that the last performance was not acceptable. If they don't come out at it after that, then I fear all is lost and they've given up.

I like what I’ve seen so far from him, but it’s very early days and too soon to tell whether he will succeed here or join the long line of failed managers.

Never seen Thomas cut out so many attempted crosses before. That's a very welcome change and I hope it continues.

I don't think this is true. I suspect that a lack of interest and competency are the fundamental issues. There has been nothing to suggest that Top has either the business acumen or has put the expertise in place to run a successful football club.

Need a link please chaps

Is it just me who doubts our Chairman actually said any of that?
