The point though is so is McCarthy - we royally fucked up by not getting a decent keeper in the summer.

Who comes in instead? Big willy - who isn't very convincing? McCarthy - a woeful keeper who some people seem to forget doesn't save very much and can't pass to a team mate? The problem lies in the lack of alternatives - may as well stick with Bazunu on the basis that he might slowly get better. The other 2 won't.

Some more hope to kill us all! Hopefully we can take some confidence from getting 3 points.

I think you are right and it is a measure of the man that once again he puts himself at the centre of things rather than put himself on the line for the team. If he wasn't such a useless twat he would have been closed down the player with the ball rather than being in no man's land (again). On a side note, he also slows down every piece of build up play he's involved in because he dithers on the ball taking away any opportunity for us to move the ball forwards quickly. He must be incredibly frustrating to play alongside. I simply don't see what anyone sees in him - there is nothing very good about his game, when he's at his very best he's bang average.

That's my positive bubble burst. Down we go. Thanks Janny B for today and the massive cunt Nathan Jones for fucking our season.

Bednarek can just fuck off. What a shit footballer

I guess a lot depends on what teams around us can do to improve and how good our squad really are - I think we're a lot better than we've shown so far this season and we've got a better squad than Bournemouth, Leeds and Forest. if we've now got a half decent manager (which I think we have) I think we've got a decent chance of survival. I might just be being a happy clappy optimist, but having resigned us to relegation under NJ I'm happy in my little bubble of positivity

At this stage it's about who can put a few results together - not dictated by crunching numbers by a bunch of stattos. If we win at Leeds things will start looking very different. A team or two above us will go on horrendous runs and find themselves in trouble. All to play for IMO.

Some of his usual stuff was there although he didn't so quite as much of it. A number of times he didn't engage when he should of done and instead backed off, was out of position a number of times, marked space rather than a man at almost every corner (while failing to address any of the runners), moaned at other players when he failed to pick people up, ... He just got away with more because ABK was immense.

Likewise, he talks a very good game indeed and seems like a strong leader - I can see why the players "like" him (I suspect it is like based on respect). I really hope he gets some quick results and makes the job his own.

I'll be happy with Selles continuing beyond the Chelsea game if: - we don't get dicked - Janny B doesn't make the bench let alone starts - there is some semblance of a plan and that plan looks like it could actually result in us winning some games - we don't play 5 at the back

I'm feeling wierdly optimistic about this one. I've got a feeling Selles is going to surprise people (I've nothing to base this on - just gut feel) and even if we lose at least he appears to be a sensible rational human being so is already a step up.

I'd rather we didn't rush into a decision and accept that we're heading down than bringing in a fraud like lampard, Rooney or Gerrard.

For me Nuno is the best option of the "realistic" choices. While I'd love the return of poch it isn't going to happen. Gerrard is another fraud and we'd do well to avoid. Bielsa would be a good short term appointment, but his legacy might be problematic.

Apparently they're being brave...

It's as likely as NJ getting a win or NJ getting through a presser without making an outrageous claim about being brilliant.

At least lyanco is aggressive - recklessly so and a bit shit, but you can see where NJ is going. However, it beggers belief that NJ has identified ball watching Janny B as a fundamental part of his aggressive dream team - it's almost like he hasn't ever seen him play or train.

Did he really say he was the "fittest human being in history"??? If so that is some claim....

Not making a decision when there is irrefutable evidence that you need to make a decision simply because you hope something will get better isn't bravery. It is far easier to bury your head in the sand than to make a change. The board have been spineless - they even limited the forum to a chosen few and Jones didn't attend. Again spineless.

So our spineless board have decided that we're stuck with Jones for a bit longer and have backed us for relegation... There's not a lot of fun on the horizon now other than to look forward to seeing what the self proclaimed best manager in Europe attributes to himself in his Thursday press conference. Has he discovered the cure for the common cold? Was he the first man on the moon? Did he invent aggression in football? Is he the 2nd coming (or God willing the first going)? One thing for sure is that we won't be seeing a dose of humility or an apology for blaming everyone else anytime soon. I suppose it's never dull being a Saints fan.

I'm confused about the compromising thing - was he compromising when we beat city or palace, what about when we played forest? Presumably every loss is down to compromise and every win is down to him being the bestest ever manager in the world ever?

I can't believe that anyone is talking about NJ magically getting a result if he's still here. The bloke is a fucking charlatan - his tactics are shit, he thinks Janny B is our best defender, he's lost a number (if not most) of the team, he's lost the fanbase and he's still banging on about it being everyone else's fault. Wolves on the other hand have turned the corner. The only way they lose this by some freak result. If NJ stays we lose again and we can all talk about how shit he is and live in the hope he gets sacked. Hopefully he leaves, we can say good riddance and we can all get on with supporting the team again safe in the knowledge that it could be worse no matter who we get next.

For me Ankerson should get a bit more time and Semmens should go. At their level they will make mistakes, but the important but is owning those mistakes and making changes to move forward from them. Semmens has failed too many times without seeming learning from his mistakes. The jury is out on Ankerson although a man with such a seemingly big ego is heading for disaster.

NJ simply can't keep his job - what a fucking shambles. No doubt it isn't his fault.

I can't see us winning under Jones, I don't think he's got it in him to find a settled line up and a way of playing that actually works. The relentless tinkering will see us lose probably by small margins, but from a points point of view I think we're going to lose touch with the pack fairly quickly. We're not even picking up draws at the moment.
