Swansea 2-0 v Sheff wed. I still think the pair of them will be down come the end of the season. Haven't decided on the 3rd team yet!

Edit: 3-0 (think the Wednesday manager may get the boot - if they can afford to pay him off). There will be more tennis ball, etc protests from the Owls fans, aimed at the chairman.

Leeds waking up. Boro beating Soton and may get a confidence boosting win. We need to get a winning run going soon.

I know its early doors but that table is starting to look just as depressing as it did after 7 or 8 games last season

And we haven't got the pitch or being skint excuses this year

As it stands a win on Monday would take us to 10th. Way too early to get depressed.

Wonder how long Martin has left

Turning into a shocker of a season for Southampton, they're in danger of doing a Sunderland at the minute.

Tonnes of money in the bank though unlike that Sunderland side, they may as well allow Martin till Christmas and then decide.

We have just rebuilt half the team including our two best players…

We could go ahead of Southampton on Monday. Imagine how they’re feeling.

Way too early for this pessimism. Win on Monday and we will be mid table, 3 points off 6th.

This really, it's all looks very different if we win a couple of games in a row.

Couple of tricky games after that but we are at home.

Sometimes you have to acknowledge the car crash whilst there is still plenty of time.

Norwich forward Ashley Barnes has suffered a knee ligament injury, and Josh Sargent picked up that bad injury at Sunderland. Norwich made a massive mistake not recruiting better forwards to cover for these injuries, What has happened to clubs not being able to predict where these will occur. Sack all managers where this happens.

Certainly sitting on a fair whack from the summer. Depends if they're going to spend it or not, I guess.

They definitely will at some point, it’s over £150m

If they lose a few more games between now and the January transfer window (which is looking likely), it'll be a tad late, plus they won't be seen as such an attractive destination.

They will for wages…

You would hope so. Got used to being optimistic since last year but worried that we look very predictable so far. A loss and we're still 2 points off the drop and cue some serious meltdowns.

Aaron Connolly is still a little prick isn’t he? But a bit like Godden, he just knows where the back of the net is

From the Stoke forum a minute ago

Rose is easily the worst CB that has put the stoke shirt on for 10 years or more

The CBs of theirs who allowed Jordan Willis and Jack Grimmer to score against them didn’t exactly impress either.

 

[PVA]

Rose had a shocker the other night too

Look at the state of this

 

[junglej13]

Hull look a really good side. Their recruitment this summer looks excellent in the forward areas and they have good, technical, forward thinking midfield players. Looks light years away from us at the min in my opinion.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Rise shouldn’t be much more than a back up any where in the championship

Yet we drew with them.

Runs straight past the goal scorer leaving him goal side, then looks bombaclat surprised when the ball lands nicely at his feet to put home. Good riddance.

And then blames the lad in front of him!

To be fair I'd have happily kept him as 5th choice CB, just to reduce squad turnover a little, but absolutely not good enough to be starting.

Our point at Hull was a cracking point don't care what anybody says

Weve only actually had 1 poor result this season really

It was. But really should have been 3.

Spot on. But people panicking and stressing out because of the league table. Never take step back to assess the situation properly

Wouldn’t mind Rosenior taking the reigns when Robins retires , Hull play some good football

Absolutely no chance he comes here.

They've invested quite a bit over a few seasons. Twine and Delap coming off the bench today.

Lunacy that Derby gave the manager’s job to Rooney instead of him a few years ago, and then didn’t give him the full time job even after Rooney left.

 

[Sick Boy]

Overrated apparently

Good to see Chaplin doing well too - another who got written off by the experts.
