People will feel hard done by but we got exactly what we deserved today

I mean, we do have this in a way. I'm pretty sure some managers will have written in to their contract they can be sacked for a reduced compensation package if they get relegated etc. Remember when we sacked Pressley it was rumoured we could sack him for a reduced compensation as we were in...

Based on what are we a better option than QPR? Player is only on loan so isn't bothered about where we will be in 2 or 3 seasons or how much money we might spend on transfers. Based on prospects for this season we are the same really.

Honestly this is a difficult one, we absolutely shouldn't be selling our best players, especially with a lot of time on his contract. At the same time King is only taking us down so suspect his value will only be lower in another 12 months and he doesn't seem to really want to be here either...

12 points from those 8 games is an underperformance no doubt, not quite a disaster but it's underachieving for sure.

All this was fairly well known when or not long after we signed him. Remember a thread on the barnsley forum in 2023 saying kitching and his brother were wrong uns...

The issue with saying Austin must go is that King is sitting up there telling everyone that him and Austin have done a fantastic job in recruitment.

Obviously wanted his move in the summer which he didn't get. Not that he isn't trying now but he's seemingly lost that edge/drive in his performances.

We're still so shit in central midfield, insane that King believed we didn't need anyone in that position.

Sakamoto quality footballer, if he's not involved in the game its cause we're not doing the right things to get him on the ball in the right positions.

Abysmal first half, gifted a chance for 3 points and never really looked like seriously taking it. Serious questions for the Lampard regime already. If we're not showing any signs of improvement by Swansea I would be making a change.

Well King knows if he says the squad is shit it reflects very badly on him. So it's easier for him to say that King and Austin have done a great job in recruitment and it's all coaching and tactical are issues.

Well looks like we can wave goodbye to our xg champions 24/25 trophy. Not even got the xg to brag about anymore.

We have an amazing squad according to King, so i don't think he will see it the same

If you think Robins left us in a comparable position to Slade there is no hope

Hilarious, we're actually getting worse under Lampard

Any idea if Nevin was Robins number 2 choice in the summer in pre season or if Nevin was only put forward after the season had started cause King told him current set up wasn't working?

A failed championship manager and a fitness coach?

Thank god he wasn't sacked 8 weeks or Doug would have probably hired him.

Very happy with the performance and the positives he can see, only frustrating thing was the result.
