    Played really well first half going forward. But so lacking in composure in front of goal, or we'd have taken the lead.

    Similar traits as in the first half v Reading on Saturday.

    But we gifted them three goals.

    Halme asleep for the first, Mowatt caught in possession for another, forget who was at fault for the other, but they weren't made to work for them.

    After the third Chelsea became super confident, and it was so difficult, but I'm proud of the way we never gave up.

    Don't start with that $hit. Neither are particularly good enough but I'd have Thomas over ritzmaier every day of the week.

    Probably the unbelieveable job he did in keeping us up last season. You don’t think that was a miraculous achievement considering what he had at his disposal.

    Although maybe I’m wrong and you don’t think it was an incredible achievement, considering you are writing him off after two league games.

    Can we have neither. Thomas is a waste of time.

    The first goal was Ritzmaier’s error, not Halme’s. Watch it again, stupid pass in that position.

    He didn’t really. Wigan’s points deductions did it.

    I’m not even going to give you a reply to that.

    I actually think Thomas would be of some value if he had some games as a proper winger. Obviously not going to happen in this system.

    If you think we showed no "fight" then i think we're going to struggle to agree but i thought 1st half there was an argument we were the better team. I would argue that is fighting against a team assembled for so much more than ours. Second half there was some naivety but i think we kept trying and no one stoped fighting. Am i disappointed we lost (and having paid a tenner to watch it!) sure. but i think we have played well in most games so far (even luton were as bad as us!) and based on his form last season i think the bloke deserves time.

    I get that people will get hung up on results but anyone who has watched our games this season should surely see we are on the right path?

    Do you reckon that anyone could have been guaranteed to do better than Struber last season to keep us in this division?

    Alright, if we’re being like that. Wigan’s overspending and buying players they couldn’t afford led to their points deduction. So technically Struber was playing against some cheats and came out on top.

    Once again, like i said, hung up on results. We've played well in most of the games so far this season. We've lost 2 games in the league and haven't scored, that is a fact. But I don't think the results reflect the games. I think if im still saying this after 20 games then you might be right and at that point i will agree its not working but until then surely we are on the right path?

    Nathan Jones did it for luton , and seems to have them on the right path this season too. Didn't give a bad account of themselves against Manure last night either.

    That’s exactly what happened in our seventeen game winless run .
    For most part we were outplaying teams most of the games then they just stepped up a gear Knocked one or two goals on then closed shop .
    That is untill Preston when it just went tits up because the players were so frustrated at out playing teams and losing .

    I’m certain Ritz is either a relative of Struber or had something incriminating photos of him.
    No other explanation why he plays....offers nothing.

    Struber kept us up by virtue of our playing to the rules of The EFL

    Would you rather everyone did as they pleased?

    Perhaps you wouldn't complain if the next team we meet fields 3 goalies and 20 players? The Wild West league.

    Your argument might hold a little more water, if the team that you seem to consider were delivered an injustice had not bought our most potent forward for a fee they could not afford and went bankrupt.
