  1. This has been a lovely day. Spent the day with my youngest son, drank some wine, the sun shined and Birmingham were relegated. If Carlsberg did days...this would have been s***. But fortunately they don't so it's been wonderful.

    For all the outrage, without proper surgery to either team (and even then) this is most likely to be correct. 

    Ipswich have done well, but there is a drastic difference between what we saw from them and ourselves (and Portsmouth). Fortunately, I feel that the management and club are very much aware that is the case and will do what is required to be as competitive as possible. 

    Sheffield Wednesday last season were a better team than both of us, and they weren’t great, they’re in a relegation battle. Plymouth, also, in a relegation battle. We have to respect what we are walking into, should we get promoted. 

    Exactly. I'm very pleased with a point and well done to the lads, but this is a realistic assessment and shows the post wasn't necessarily winding people up.

    Nothing wrong with second chances. But you lose the benefit of the doubt.

    I'm not on here every hour that God sends so I wouldn't know, but even so who's to say that he's not being sincere this time? And everyone can just ignore him. That is within the capability of all other members of the forum, surely?

    I'm sorry, but I just don't think declaring people to have sad lives is in keeping with the modern spirit of 'being kind'.

    But why post such a negative comment after an entertaining game of football when we've just earned a deserved point away from home against the league leaders?

    Clearly trying to ruin the mood and wind people up.

    I don't really know, but I would say that declaring someone to have a sad life is a bit harsh when you've (probably) never met them. It's difficult to ascertain the motivation of people from the odd post. You might be right, I don't know, but the simple thing to do is ignore it. If you're right he will get bored and stop.

    I'm not on this forum often enough to know if he's winding people up or not - I have much more important things to do with my life than attend this thing every hour - but it strikes me that you can just ignore what you don't like.

    This is a standard Warne performance. Not sure why many are surprised or throwing their toys out the pram.

    We play like this every week.

    The only difference today is we have missed the two good chances and they have taken theirs.

    So instead of 0-2, it’s 1-0.

    We’re not playing any worse than we did against Cheltenham, Stevenage, Charlton, Exeter or Bolton over the past month.

    We never play any other way. I'm confused as to how so many people said Warne "got the tactics right" against Bolton. He didn't - he had us play the same way we always do but it just happened that it suited that match.

    I would have to agree with this even though I would make a change irrespective of the final outcome come May.

    Reality is we are too deep into this promotion push & a change for the last 11 games is likely to cause so much upheaval as to totally derail our chances irrespective of how gifted any caretaker manager would be (I'm also struggling to think of anyone available who would galvanise us that quickly). Given the paucity of top 6 opposition, there is still a chance of going up & at this stage, I would take any sort of promotion even if inevitably we're going to need a complete overhaul should we go up.

    Financially it would clearly be very expensive & that doesn't strike me as wise until failure has been confirmed. I'd expect a full appraisal of the season & how Warne's managerial style fits with the long term plan of the club away from the emotional highs & lows of the season, before any action is taken.

    I agree with this.

    Makes no sense to sack PW now with the league position and number of games left, but whatever the outcome of the season I wouldn't want him here for the next one - if we don't go up he would deserve the sack and if we do he'd be of zero use in the Championship.

    Absolutely we have to go for wins, even if it risks losing. How does no one understand this? A draw is as bad as a defeat, unless against Bolton or Portsmouth. If you want automatic promotion, you need 3 points from almost every game.

    In my opinion you should almost always play to win at home (unless, perhaps, you're playing in a two-legged tie and you've got a lead from the 1st leg away). Regardless of the opposition you've got to go for it, and if you want to get promotion you absolutely must play to win at home.

  8. I don't really think it's clear what his best role is. His record of goals and assists is quite poor and he's not a holding type player.

    I like him and he does show glimpses of something but I've always been bemused as to how he is quite so highly rated, especially as you'd expect him to be ripping this league up if he's as good as some make out. In my opinion he's another player whose rating is given a boost by virtue of him being an Academy graduate.

    I'm not averse to the idea of selling or keeping him.
