An away win to celebrate last night, could this mean we have turned the corner? Maybe not just yet, I dont think we will come across many other teams with such an ineffective attack as Sunderland, 30 shots and only one flukey goal to show for it.

Wishing Tom Lockyer a full recovery asap. Lovely lad. Respect to my local Bournemouth fans, and also to our fabulous manager, 'Super Robbie Edwards'

Fingers crossed he makes a good recovery but I fear his playing days are over. Full respect to the supporters of both clubs for the way they handled this situation

Another defeat against a pretty ordinary Bradford side.
Where is our new manager bounce?
It definitely looks like one step forward and two steps back.
Under Harris, we couldn’t score
Under Clemence, we can’t score or defend.
What’s all this playing out from the back bollax.
It’s league two for Christ sake.

A bit of a pattern is forming.

Spirited display by Luton. They could easily have forced the draw at least had the crossbar been kinder towards them.

In the last two games, Gills have had an incredible 40 shots on goal.
We’ve scored just one.
Playing well, attacking well but they can’t hit a cows backside with a banjo.

Another 1-0 to the Gills
Who said that you can’t keep winning 1-0 😂😂😂
To be fair, their keeper played a blinder and it could have been six, but only one was needed

Rooney's got the chop ... about time too, what a useless bugger he has proved to be :thumbdown:

No doubt he will get a pocketful of compensation. Management clearly not his forte. He's had 3 attempts and been crap in all three and now he's complaining about not being given enough time.

Birmingham are clearly after Watford’s revolving door record.
I assume they are still paying Eustace and now Rooney plus his replacement.

Not quite sure why they got rid of Eustace. They were doing quite well with him. Sacking him and appointing the hapless Rooney who had a poor track record seemed doomed to failure. Bad decision.

Eustace was a good man manager, on and off the park ... ex Watford hence the sacking :eh:

Rob Edwards has built a team with a bit of spirit, on a shoe string budget. They have put in good performances with little to show for it, Barkley is one of the best midfields in England. I really hope they can stay up, and beat Man City in the cup.

I must say they have been very impressive since he took over. It would be a great achievement if he keeps them up. There are plenty of others I would be very happy to see relegated.

I would like to see some of the London clubs relegated there are far too many of them in the PL, we need some levelling up away from London and the South, and see a return to the more traditional heartland of football, the North and the Midlands.
All London clubs should start with a 15 point deduction until we achieve a more equitable nationwide split.

We should all be ashamed that there are no women’s teams in the Premier League.
