What a fuckin wretched season this is, wake me up when we’re back in the Championship.

Yeah, you're probably right tbf...just read it again, maybe I'm the fuckwit this time! And, to give them credit, Brentford Nylons were all the rage back in the 70s.

Just had a scoot over one of their boards, understandably confident. It was pointed out we're without probably our best man in Fernandes, and Dibling is "lazy" (clearly been reading a particular poster on this board). One of 'em even has this game down as our "cup final" ....deluded fuckwit (#19) https://griffinpark.org/forums/threads/southampton-v-bees-predictions.141956/ Interesting to see if Meghoma gets off the bench, made his (brief) debut against Chelsea.

Probably.

Someone can pick up a real bargain in with KWP, even in January. I can see him ending up somewhere like Palace, Fulham or Brighton, he’s versatile and would be cheap even just as cover. Kerkes is rumoured to be a target for Liverpool in Jan so, although he’s a left back, KWP could be seen as a cheap option for Bournemouth.

The initial target is to get past having the lowest PL points and then bring a bit of pride back into the club before the inevitable drop. Uncomfortable getting there but the Championship ain’t that bad (for too long). We’ve sidestepped the ‘new manager bounce’ with results but, look at Leicester, it often follows with a bump. Juric had little more than a day on the training ground before his first couple of games, this time he’s had a week. Fingers crossed.

Brentford are currently a decent mid-table side and it's going to take a few weeks for Juric to turn this around. But hopefully, with a near full week on the the training ground he's had a good opportunity to get into their heads a bit to start the 'process' to rid them of their 18-month possession-at-all-costs brainwashing. I'm going for a hard-earned point. Support needs to step it up too.

Gets almost a full week on the training ground, are all his new coaching team in place now? Can't see too many points coming our way again in Jan tbh.

Has the OP (and one or two others) been dropped on their heads over the Christmas period?

Zips - particularly in jeans/trousers (fookin hate button flies). Velcro is for kiddies shoes and old people (not mentioning my age).

Watford v skates I’d imagine. And he’s probably hurting.

Forest is sold out (just under 3,000), a few days after travelling up to United on the Thursday night. Support is very good for home and away league games.

Yep, we did every away game in the cup that year, everyone was a cracker (even the semi was a good day out other than the result - even got to have a run around on the hallowed Highbury turf!). That traffic to Hillsborough though, took an eternity just to get past the Hockley lights!

Feeling optimistic (rather than realistic) and hoping for that new manager bounce and more of the second half attitude from midweek. A point would be great and a good start. First target to get over 11 points, then just battle and go down fighting ready to give the Championship (albeit with a few new faces) a right good fucking go! Today, just hoping for a lift in spirits and some festive cheer 🎶"...this year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to Ivan Juric"🎶

I'd certainly add Ramsdale, THB and (although I think he may be gone very soon and is a better player than recent performances) KWP. And, as you say, if Juric comes in and does the same with Dibling as Bally did with Le Tiss, then all the better. That Bally era is up there with some of my best moments supporting this club in well over half a century!
