Forget a playoff push. We're gonna finish midtable i'd imagine. Todays performance probably warrants more than we got but we've gotta grind out results and for a team thats maintained its Premiership squad we should be doing a lot better.

Can't see anything other than a Sheffield Wednesday win on Saturday. We're not that organised and we've not got the killer instinct to deal with being a disorganised mess.

That our target is to be on 2 points per game. Though given we can be nowhere near that average irrespective of Saturdays result, and Coyle is clearly falling behind set objectives and targets, no need to wait till then.

Impossible to say where we will finish this season, its the kind of division where a few wins or a few defeats near the end of the campaign can make or break you regardless of how rubbish a team have been.

But, with this mon in charge we wont be going anywhere fast. Saturday may well see another grim atmosphere in the away end but I cant see it being the end of him whatever the result. I cant see much changing until at least the next international break.

My brother who is a blues fan and went to the game said we played well and were unlucky not to score at the end. Very even game and a draw would have been a fair result. He also said the ref was very poor with so awful decisions against Bolton.

Still not right in so many places. Defense poor, midfield vacant, and goal shy strikers.

3 games away, lost 3. When looking at our away record since Coyle came, surely the message should get through, but no it'll be played 4 lost 4 after Saturday.

That would have us on 92 points by the end of the season. Slightly optimistic, mayhaps?

Can't honestly say tonight was Coyle's fault. Spearing injury was a real blow, Chungy didn't play well, Knight threw a wobbler and gave away the penalty that lost us the game. Afoebe seemed to do okay although the Sordell situation is baffling. Not scoring was the difference as we had a panful of chances and the ref seemed a right xxxx. Has to be either Sordell and N'gog (who isn't really doing much) or Sordell and Davies with N'gog or Afoebe subbing for Saturday.

Blackburn fans obviously don't boo their manager..
Or is it just the fact that he's got more idea?

Sordell and KD for me. I still dont believe NGog is any use as a partner striker.
