    It's time for things to change. Really getting annoyed with it now.

    The excuses from some are laughable. They are a young team, Some come from non-league, It's hard in the championship................

    Some of what i've witnessed in the last month isn't good enough. It's a young team and maybe some of our players played in non- league. AND. We aren't the only team to think we have a young team and have players that have played in non league. So have the team we faced tonight, Newcastle United. There players manage to cope with the pressure of playing infront of one of the most demanding set of fans across the land. It didn't seem to affect Gayle that a very loud chant for mitrovic went up several times.

    I'd say we make changes put recruitment was woeful in the summer we can't.

    I'm honestly not sure what can be done apart from getting in some free's and before anyone mentions we can't afford them PH said he had the freedom to go out and get more in the summer and choice not to. Now I can't be the only one to gasp wen Hourihane went down injured wit us having 2 first team midfielders in the squad after not even a heavy period of matches. What's it going to be like in december.

    Well to Jackson and Bree. Both came in and played well. Look nice players.

    Onto Brentford away. can't wait, ha

    What's your favourite flavour popcorn Phil? You a toffee man, or slightly salted?

    haha, yes Toffee. maybe should get some to lob at the players. Might get them to concentrate a little big.

    Another thing I missed off.

    What the hell's going on with discipline . Time and time again this season we've had players sulking or kicking things .

    I'd say the major difference between the two teams was the 70 million quid it cost to assemble the Newcastle team. Perhaps you have a spare 70 million quid to enable us to buy better quality players. If so I'm sure Mr Cryne is open to offers.

    These Newcastle fans will be the same fans who were giving their team pelters last season when this premier league team were pi55 poor every week.

    They are the biggest team in this league, with the biggest budget and most expensive squad.

    We are making mistakes, they need cutting out and quickly but comparing us to Newcastle like you keep doing is ridiculous.

    I was making the point that we all can make excuses. Every single one of the teams can list them out.

    I want some results, performances.

    But it goes back to the summer for me and recruitment. How we didn't replace Fletcher amazes me, It wouldn't cost much.

    I bet Lascelles doesn't stop laighing until the Newcastle team bus gets them home.

    How was what you witnessed the first two months of the season.

    You absolute bell.

    Supporters cheer their team when they are winning or losing. It's called supporting, not celebrating. Celebrating is what you do when you win. Supporting is what you do come what may.

    Champagne fans. We are a small team. With a small budget. But we win together and lose together. But we stick together.

    You have Winnall.

    I'll have tammy abraham or Dom Solanke.

    I know who's got the best deal.

    I'm not making excuses, I'm giving you good reasons why we will go through periods when we struggle in this league. There will be games when all eleven players play well but we still don't win because of the quality some teams have.

    We simply cannot compete financially, get used to it.

    That's the problem Mario.

    The kid is talking about Lascelles (who Arsenal bid £5m for at 16! And ultimately went to Newcastle for £6m possibly rising to £10m) to our players. When our whole squad cost £1m or whatever.

    The bloke lives in a alternate universe where money is no object. And is just seemingly handed to you on a plate or something.

    This team can be damn proud. This community is not one built on other people's money. What we have we earnt.

    You ought to apply for Hecky's job, I think you'd be really good. No really, you seem so wise and knowledgeable. Are you a famous manager in real life ?

    Where would you expect us to finish in the league table with the players on your wish list? Where do you expect us to finish with what we have?

    Abraham looks excellent. No idea what proportion of his wage Bristol City are paying but I'd bet he's way out of our budget. And isn't Solanke the kid who was reportedly demanding 50K per week at Chelsea?

    Loans the bigger clubs don't ask for much. Roterham don't struggle to pay Brown's payments and they don't have the income Barnsley have.

    You're right. If only we had the players Rotherham do.

    You never ever fail to pick me up and make me smile after we lose.

    Ps hear a rumour the new Football Manager game is out tonight. Go and put your coaching badges and detailed workings of running a football club to good use. Sure you'll have little old Barnsley in the premierleague in one season. Real life. My arse.

    I'll give you Bristol City losing millions a year.

    I've no idea who the other one is.
