Today's game/result strikes me as bad all round.

1) We lost (obviously).
2) This might be a good time to sack the manager (international break and no signings imminent).
3) But...is it reasonable to sack him after a game where we've had 22 shots (9 on target)?

Reckon Dougie's trial by Yorkshire fire has at least two more rounds to go (if we're still winless post- Sheff Wed and Rotherham home games, surely he has to go?)

Nope. we're on course for our worst start ever and are only helped out by the fact that Blackpool and Fulham are currently in more doodoo than us
Pfffft.

Oh well, there you go then.

Everyone stop arguing and just agree.

What should we do, lynch Beckford? :crazy:

Have you never seen a player applauding his old team's crowd when coming on as a sub/at the start of a game?

You say that we're wrong because we wasn't there, by that logic it sounds like you've not been to many other games!

Haha this prick after Beckford's head has at least cheered me up! Wonder if he boos the Bolton players who come back and applaud our fans and thinks they should be sacked.

Rumours all over the shop that Dougie is on his way out. Probably just people putting 5 and 3 together because Eddies Davies was at the game.

If we hadn't got one point from a possible fifteen, losing four games and drawing just one, nobody would be this fed up. It's that fact that people find hard to take. Yes, I'm one of those armchair fan fellas these days and I don't get to many games at all, but I'm still a committed fan in spirit and I don't think people should be making smug remarks just because they're the current match attenders. Most of those here have done their bit and still hate to see us struggling. Giving fellow fans shxt is hardly productive.

Applauded the players bar Beckford. More than freedman bothered to do. Can you imagine mcginlay giving the thumbs up to bury?

Tango i'm not having a go at you. I was annoyed at those who didn't see Beckford today and are condoning what they do not understand

:lol: don't understand? He applauded the fans of a team where he used to be a cult hero. What are we missing? Did you bio Nolan when he came back to the Reebok with Newcastle and got a spanking?

Twitter or other forums as well? You can usually tell if the odds on him going are being mentioned. I've found nothing on the oddschecker

"When we concede a goal we have to work harder to score.”

Dougie nails it again. :hang:
