COME ON !!

orite, gonna go for a very hopeful 2-2... COYS

Abject first half, battling second... Pity that once again we can't have a consistent 90 mins. Just shows that AA and to a lesser extend CA and Downes are just not physically built to be premiership starters (especially in a struggling team). At that level, you need a combination of speed, strength, stamina and skill. Sulemana, Les and TP did well. Aribo as quarter-back like defensive midfielder isn't a bad idea. Manning and KWP in their proper position makes a different. Unfortunately, I reckon it will take Juric another month or two to get the team playing well for 90mins... If only

we've even managed to make Ramsdale shit... dear oh dear But we have VAR...

A bit surprised that Sulemana doesn't start after what he showed in the past 2 games, bit of tiredness maybe? Guess Juric didn't fancy playing Archer or Sulemana on the right to replace Dibling. Rest of the team seems about right.

pity and honestly a bit unlucky not to have been a couple of goals up... We did really well for 80mins... shows how far we have to go. Subs didn't work out but I believe that Juric will learn from that.

GET INNNNN

Like Juric's pressers. direct, honest, focussed and no bull. Hope it influences the team to be the same. Team selection and 3-4-3 shape are inline with availability and capability of players. We've been so bad that I'll take any decent performance tonight, irrespective of result. It's now about rebuilding confidence and competitiveness within that squad. 7 nil Saints ;-)

let's hope for a good one today... COYS

Not making any excuses for RM but unsure you can pin it all to one guy. I'd add the Board, senior management as well as the coaching and playing staff for our current mess. All share some responsibility whether it was the appointment, replacement or sacking of the Manager, Director of Football (anyone?) or coaching staff (is Juric bringing anyone?) , the poor recruitment, bad preparations, indiscipline or lack of effort. It's so hard to run such an enterprise. When the chips are down, I'd be looking for hard graft, ideas and ownership from my senior team. I don't think we've seen a lot of that in the past few months. Let's hope for better soon.

if we stay up, I'll gladly surf on that great escape wave... If we're going down, I'll support them next year in the Championship. Irrespective, I want for that team to give a fuck and try their best until then. Best of luck and welcome Mr Juric.

There's a ton of jobless managers that could be worth a look at. No idea if any would consider us, but there's plenty of experience out there. Top of my head: Rudi Garcia (of Marseille, Lyon, Napoli fame) Benitez (of Everton fame :-) Sarri ( would love him... ) N. Lennon ( did ok with Celtic, since then not much) Klinsmann (if we can have Koeman, why not our fav German) Hjulmand (ex Denmark manager) Ivic (SR might want a Serbian in ... ex-watford if I remember correclty) Pretty sure Puel and Pellegrino are also available :-)

as usual... Half decent going forward ... Defensively totally mental...

Chelsea is a billion pound team so wasn't expecting a result. Still, tonight was just sad. After okish performances vs Liverpool and Brighton, we again lose the plot by making the same mistakes again and again. What is being done on the training ground? In all other industries, if you don't perform for months on end, you get the sack. No matter what you achieved previously. No idea if another manager would want to take on our lot but something has to give. Felt sorry for the attending fans...

Was at the game on Sunday and irrespective of all the other things, really enjoyed watching Fernandes and Dibbling (and Tall Paul). Hope they both have a blinder tonight and get rewarded for their effort. Don't expect much from tonight... starting X1 too defensive for me... switch one the full backs for SAA or Sulemana and let's give it a go. A draw isn't much use but let's hope for that at least: so 2-2 Archer & Fernandes.

wasn't just good... it was our best performance ...COYS

Poor referee. Abject second half... No game plan when leading, bad subs. Any decent candidate to replace RM? Need someone that can mold our lot into a defensive unit.

Better than Monday, sadly still not good enough... I liked the KWP / Manning double act on Saka, was needed. Felt the team was better balanced, subs did ok and Archer's goal was a little cracker. 2 goals from weak and unnecessary turnovers (and so many hospital passes)... that's the killer. This season back was always going to be so tough...They have to keep working hard..

that's another depressing night... bringing back memories from 2 years ago. Kinda liked the championship nights a lot more. Hard not to be angry and negative... RM is living dangerously... Feel sorry for away supporters... hope the club pays for their taxies home.

Gonna predict an attacking minded 4-1-2-3 . KWP back in; Fraser and Dibling preferred to BBD and AA COYS

second string did orite... I'd take a win any day and I'm sure it will lift the squad's spirit for Saturday. TBH, Fernandes and Bree my picks... COYS

captain fantastic 👏

8/10 For a newly promoted team without petro dollar backing, have to be impressed by the first team squad we've built with plenty of investment in the women and academy teams as well as the stadium / day match experience. 👍 Argument could be made for missing a leading CF (Archer has real potential and we still have Ross to bed in ) and a bit of a bloated first team squad (at least until the Turkey transfer window closes). From the media snippets I've seen, the mood at the club feels vibrant and engaged whilst us fans seem pretty happy for now. Just need some results on the pitch, starting this afternoon. COYS
