Super Kevin Bremner!clauskiSuper Kevin Bremner!
Tue 20 20:00 A QPR FLC L 1-4
Nine goals in last 2 games with a well above average Champ. squad
This is a wind-up surely? This is the most ridiculous stat I've seen - they've actually scored 8 in the last 2 and 4 of them were against us tonight! Think how many Leicester will have scored in their last two games when they put 5 past us on Monday!!
5-2 Barnsley
4-0 Preston
Ridiculous indeed.

Basingstoke Royal Mid to late to September we were picking up the odd point, playing quite well but not getting the results.
I think we should have tried to stay a bit more consistent. Instead Rodgers has made major changes game by game and now we look proper shite.
Go back to a similar team we had out in the Cardiff and Watford games. At least we were competing.
I would play this against Leicester.

Woking Royal I am a previous long term season ticket holder who gave it up at the end of last season having been bored to tears watching utter tripe for most of the season. i have come on here tonight to guage the mood, which as expected resembles a lynching party.
Am I alone in doubting whether changing manager at thi stage can have any impact at all? We are stuck with this squad for the forseeable (well till the January window anyway) and at the end of the day it is surely obvious that we do not have the players to compete in what is a seriously competitive division.
Are the results really any much worse than Steve Coppells were for large portions of his time here? And SC clearly was, and presumably still is, a highly competent Manager who delivered a record breaking season.
Below us are Darren Ferguson & Roy Keane, 2 of the games supposed bright young stars, one of which we apparently wanted at one stage.
No, I am sorry, this whole fall from grace has to be laid squarely at JM's feet. A lack of wise investment, and I suspect a waning lack of enthusiasm for the team. And who can blame him maybe?
It is all well and good fans ranting about the investment & success, but when you consider we did not even sell out the play off second leg last season, you do have to question the whole basis for our apparent right to be in this division, let alone aspiring to be Premiership material.
it was great while it lasted, but I fear this club is now finding it's level after a period of extraordinary good fortune & success, built largely on spiralling confidence, and punching well above our weight. Sadly, that confidence has now well and truly evaporated, and it is maybe time for a reality check.
Blaming BR for all of this? I am not at all sure that is right or fair.

PEARCEY Good post FineRain although I don't agree with all of it particularly Michael Meaker.
If this run continues for much longer I think Rodgers will be gone sooner than you think.
I think he should go now but if by some miracle he can turn it around from here it would be brilliant...but I can't see it happening. Not now.

PEARCEYwinchester_royal Interesting stuff there SKB, and does put it slightly into perspective. We've had a tough run of games, and TBF to Rodgers he should probably get the next 4 games to see if he can sort it out.
Before tonight I would agree with giving him another four games...but conceding two goals against 10 men...that really hurts.

facaldaqui FiNeRain: I won't hear a good word said about the team that got relegated from this division last time: truly terrible, worse than the present lot. It's no good quoting the forest game, which was the one isolated win in a dismal sequence, and against a side a man down. Nor was that team the same one that Bullivant had been playing. Meaker and Lambert did not often play. Asaba and Morley were no longer the players they had been, and were incapable of scoring. We also had two full backs as porous as Cummings. There was no hope that that team could improve, whereas there is hope that this one can.
